Islam does not grant the freedom to doubt, question, or disbelieve the Koran
the way Jews and Christians can with the Bible. Expression of disbelief
about the Koran put a Muslim in danger of his life.

What has this got to do with Muslim attitudes to the Koran? Do you think
Islam is the same as either Judaism or Christianity? Do you think Islamic
society is like secular Western society? Do you think the Muslim mindset is
like the Christian mindset, or the Jewish mindset?

Well I've got news for you - Islam is not like Judaism or Christianity.
Islamic society is not like secular Western society. And the Muslim mindset
is not like the Christian or Jewish mindsets. Islam is what it is, spending
so much time making comparisons with the intent of showing that Muslims are
just like Christians is a waste of time and effort.
