But I thought Islam was tolerant of other religions?

FOX NEWS – Four foreigners were arrested in Libya on suspicion of distributing books about Christianity and proselytizing, a Libyan police spokesman said on Saturday.

Police spokesman Hussein bin Hamid said the suspects were from South Africa, Egypt and South Korea, and one held both Swedish and U.S. nationality. The Swedish Foreign Ministry confirmed that a dual national Swedish-American citizen was arrested while traveling on a U.S. passport. The U.S. Embassy in Libya declined comment.

Spreading Christianity is a crime in the predominantly Muslim North African county.

The four were arrested in the eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday and are under investigation for printing and distributing books that proselytize Christianity. Police said they found 45,000 books in their possession and that another 25,000 have already been distributed.

Bin Hamid said that embassy officials have visited them. He would not say where they are being held.

Oh my gosh! You mean they were giving people books? OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!

Islam must be a form of insanity not yet listed in the DSM.

For example: "Pakistan accuses its own ambassador of blasphemy for discussing blasphemy law." (Yahoo News)

Spreading Christianity (or any other Religion for that matter) is against the law in ANY Muslim Country but don't tell that to the Libs or they'll hit you with some PC crap about it being part of their culture or something.

Those dysfunctional devils' disciples have too much time on their hands, and nothing better to do with it. They will face the consequences of their actions sooner than they realize.

One less than the number of American Presidents that have held a Ramadan celebration on White House turf. ;-)

The religion of pieces must exist with it's zombie followers in complete ignorance. Wouldn't want anyone to find out that God is not a pedophile "prophet" would they? This is fascism, not a religion. Worse yet, our idiot Imposter in Chief is one of them!

Our government hasn't figured out yet that Christians aren't welcome in Benghazi.

They're just a 'bump in the road' according to Obama.

When will Islam admit that Allah's given name is Satan, aka, Lucifer?

Anyone ever look at the name Barack Obama as understood in Hebrew? Nevermind, you probably wouldn't like it.

We have an epidemic in this country as most of you know. It isn't aids, or any other disease you've heard of.

It's stupidity. Repetitive, contagious, terminal, stupidity...with a heaping helping of evil.

Matthew 5:10-12

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Romans 8:35-39

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ...Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 10-14

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…. And from such people turn away!

"…all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned ..."

Alright, Scoop, from now on, whenever you post a "But I thought Islam was tolerant/peaceful/respectful/etc..." I'm going to only cite 'taqiyya and Kitman' http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm and then say one thing:

....(stage whisper): Psssst! THEY LIED! And Islam teaches them to.

4 of our citizens are killed - Obama does nothing...

These people in Libya know that they can get away with anything and will- as long as this jerk, the condemner and cheat, is around.

But then again, what difference does it really make?

There was a day that one phone call would have sent them home. Today one call from DC seals their fate.

Instead our SoS is championing Global Warming and publicly blaming our own Congress as a threat to our security.

Our own congress is a threat to our security. It has nothing to do with global warming though, which is what you were concentrating on I think.

It has to do with milk and toast, and the foolish mixing of the two.

How dare those Christians spread Jesus' words of love, caring, tolerance and life amoungst the heathen and intolerent muslims!

Just who do they think they are anyway, christians? OH! WAIT! Never mind!

If a group of Muslims were filming a movie entitled "Off With His Head" and I had top billing as head contributor. I would have to say, "Hey! That's not very Christian of you!" And when they said, "We're Muslims", I suppose I'd have to say, "Well then, my bad...go right ahead."

Not really, I'd shoot 'em until they all weighed several ounces more than they did before.

Just be sure that you dip the bullet heads in pigs blood first, ManBear. I hear those muslims have quite a thing about pigs and their blood! Just sayin'.

Yeah but they'd be squirmin' around and stuff. How do you get around that?

You know what? I saw some Muslims in a film today cutting off the head of two civilians in Syria. If you haven't a match, let me know. Ask for a match, I'll give you a propane torch suitable for brazing with.

You know, in the natural, man would have to think, "you know what...let these people go to hell."

This is where the term supernatural comes from.
