“Misconceptions about Islam abound in the United States. So Muslims may find it helpful to remind fellow Americans that Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion that has many similarities in virtues and values to Christianity and Judaism.” Muhammad Shafiq in this morning’s D&C.

“A plan is being discussed by lawmakers in Iran that would require the death penalty for anyone who leaves Islam for Christianity or someone who promotes such a conversion even on the Internet, according to a new report from Compass Direct News.” From an article in this morning’s WND.

The death penalty for conversion is one area where Christianity does not share similar virtues and values with Islam. Thank goodness.
