Libyan intelligence officials torture four converts from Islam to Christianity

Islamic Tolerance Alert: there is "no compulsion" in religion (Qur'an 2:256), but that celebrated verse doesn't say anything about there being "no torture," now, does it?

WASHINGTON -- International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Libyan intelligence officials have detained and tortured four Christians for converting from Islam. The Christians have been imprisoned for the past seven weeks in Tripoli, Libya's capital.

Libya's External Security Organization is believed to be behind the detention and torture of the Christians, according to our sources. The security agents have barred the families from visiting the detained converts and are putting severe physical and psychological pressure on the Christians in order to force them to reveal the names of other converts. Fearing for their lives, converts from Islam are on the run....

By torturing the four Christian converts and stifling religious freedom, Libya is once again violating basic principles of the international human rights law.

It is perfectly ok for a muslim to torture a christian. But we put the hardcore ones in Gitmo and they claim torture.

Those, who claimed to be in jail in Libya because of their convert from Islam. We share the same believes and ideas. Actually we love all religions, God told us, in the holy Quran, to believe in him and in his prophets and in his holy books.

We deny, refuse and condemn any news which describe Al-Qaddafi in negative ways. Some news say that he is behind the arrest of converted people from Islam , and that he doesn't like them. We know that he is a kind man. He respects all religions. We , Libyans, know who Al-Qaddafi is. Al-Qaddafi's ideas and philosophy is bigger than events like these. In Libya. We call him the leader. He is a revolutionary man. His ideas are brilliant. He is an open minded and against any kind of oppression and discrimination be it racial or even religious discrimination.

Al- Qaddafi is man who have a philosophy. He is a philosopher and thinker. We love Al-Qaddafi, and we have learned many good things from him. He is a nice man. We love him. We always listen to his speeches and enjoy the subjects he talks about. We wish him well and may God bless him and his family.
After all Al-Qaddafi's ideas and philosophy are proved to be more wise than many world leaders and presidents' ideas and philosophies who brought destruction to the world such as president Bush's ideas and philosophies .
As for those in jail, We do not know how they got involved and therefore, were jailed.
I hope that they be released soon.

Blessings
