Are Muslims murdering Christians wholesale? Is it unfeasibly dangerous to live as a Christian in the Middle East or South Asia?

Do you mean to try to apply the word apostate? Because there is no such thing or word in arabic and/or Islam. Though, I supose one could sort of while not understanding things, use that word to describe things such as, a murtadd, a munafiq, a kafir or in the case of someone really strict possibly even a fasi.chang50 wrote:apostates are in particular danger.

It's not like a person who was not born in to it can just dabble in Islam or make friendly inquiries to convert. You could get into some dire trouble just by going over there and asking questions in the wrong way to the right people.
Ever notice there is no such thing as a muslim missionary?Do you mean to try to apply the word apostate? Because there is no such thing or word in arabic and/or Islam.

Non of those are my English letter translitorations so I can't warrent how close they are to whatever you're trying to say here. There are some pretty gaping cultural differences beyond the fact that the languages don't align in any manner to allow apostate to just be thrown around.
Basically a true Muslim would be completely unable to discern a Christian from an Apostate since both would be "fasi" and therefore they would need to (I'm not going to bother looking up the correct phrasing but basically convert or profess they have) in order to live. Should be no problem for an "apostate" but again there is nothing culturally like that so the word does not directly translate.
Sorry, I'll try to leave you to hapilly return to your belief that Isslam = Judaism and/or Christianity.
Looks a little like mrswdk is living in a place where that is not an option. The best part is the people in his region are probably trying to re-brand it to fit their culture. It does not work that way. They can never be fully Hallal. Therefore they can only ever be converted from "fasi" by learning Arabic, doing a "pilgrimage" to mecca, though we are probably not able to use or translate that word properly either.
Well that was a waste of 25 minutes I'm sure. Nice work sucking me into conversation here again.

Perhaps you could ask a Muslim friend, or a member of a local mosque. Generally they're very open about their faith, and will hardly try to kill you at all.
