MEMRI: A Hands-On Lesson in Tolerance

MEMRI has posted a translation of an article by 'Abd Al-Khaliq Hussein, an Iraqi reformist, titled A Hands-On Lesson in Tolerance for Muslims, From Pope Benedict XVI.

Political Islamists raise a huge hubbub, saying that Islam is a religion of tolerance, but at the same time they threaten to decapitate anyone who directs the least bit of criticism at them - even if it is just a question, or a doubt concerning religious thought, or the writing of an article, or the publishing of a book… to the point where fatwas are issued that make it licit to kill the asker of the question or the writer [of the article].

It is unfortunate that more articles like this aren't printed in mainstream American media.
