Blasphemy and the Muslim oppression of Christians.

The following is from an excellent article about blasphemy laws in Pakistan and the oppression and degradation of Christians in other Muslim lands:

I am looking at a book called What Every Christian Should Know about Islam, published by the Islamic Foundation. So far as I know, it presents an orthodox account of Muslim belief. It says that Mohammed was probably illiterate, and that the Koran was therefore dictated by him from memory after he had received it in visions. It is not his teaching: it is the unmediated word of God: "The Holy Koran differs from any other religious text in that it was not written or edited by any human author; no word has been added to it or subtracted from it."

What this means is that all Muslims are what we call "fundamentalist" in a way that no Christian, not even the most literalist, can quite be. One man, the Prophet, was given the perfect truth in one form, and so the truth, and the form, are absolute. To question the status of the Koran as described above is to insult God.

“But, Archbishop, this is the bleak mid-winter for many Christians.” By Charles Moore, Opinion.Telegraph, 10/12/25 (emphasis added).
