Regarding the Muslim who orchestrated a fake conversion to Christianity

Dear Dr Pipes, So Mr. Enzo Almeni converted to Christianity to seek asylum. In his asylum application he even said that his Christian faith will be a cause of his persecution if he was forced to return to Iraq. Then, he detonated a bomb in Livermore. And, we stand surprised!

Shame on us. We do not read history books. We do not read Islamic scriptures. We judge Islam not by our standards but by the standards that Islam handed over to us to judge itself. We are dumb. Enzo Almeni took 6 billion of us for a joy ride and we accepted it with joy.

What would the followers of a religion whose scriptures recommend murder of the people for creating "mischief" (Q5-32, Q5-33) not do? Lying and deceit on an asylum application is a cakewalk when the real instruction to you is to kill and when you have never repudiated that instruction.

It is time that we hold Islam accountable for what it says and what it does not day.
