Yes, killing innocent people will certainly prove that Ghulam Azam got a raw deal. But that is not the point, of course. The objective is to intimidate the Bangladeshi government into bending to the will of the Islamic supremacists. An update on this story. "Violence erupts in Bangladesh after...

As I explain in my book The Truth About Muhammad, Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad led a Muslim force against the Khaybar oasis, which was inhabited by Jews -- many of whom he had previously exiled from Medina. When he did so, he was not responding to any provocation. One...

Malaysian Christians have been forbidden to use the word "Allah" for God, although in Arabic-speaking Muslim countries, Christians have used this word since before the advent of Islam.
