Americans make a mistake when they judge Islam by its more tolerant American version. If we want to see what Islam is like as a religion, we must judge it by countries where it is in control: Saudi Arabia and Iran to name two. The laws of Saudi Arabia, for example, explicitly stipulate that converts from Islam to Christianity are to be executed. Also, in Islamic countries Christians are often put to death for "dishonoring Islam" not because they have spoke against it but simply because they believe in the Trinity, and this in itself is an insult to Islam.
