I really don't know much about Islam, but I understand it is the case that as a non-believer I am considered an enemy of Islam.
If I went to an Islamic state and tried to set up my own religion there I would be executed. If I go to many Arab countries I would have to pay a tax just for not being a Muslim.
It seems so imbalanced that we in the west as non-believers, not only tolerate Islam, but we encourage its growth in our country and promote the freedom to practise, and yet we are not shown the same courtesy.
I saw recently in the papers a picture of a group of young Islamic men protesting here in the UK with placards which stated "Freedom can go to Hell"
I just don't understand it? It seems so utterly absurd.
Please can someone explain.
Do all Muslim people see me as their enemy, as someone who ultimately must be eradicated?
