Have you heard this; "10 of the 15 "worst violators of religious freedom" in the world are nations in which Islam is the dominant religion?

As reported two years ago by The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom

I am not the least bit surprised SGM Private RallyPoint Member.
Islam is a works dominated religion which requires the faithful to attempt to meet the requirements of the five pillars of Islam. The faithful are encouraged to support their own, tax unbelievers at best and subjugate or kill them at worst.
The wealthy Islamic countries which have significant oil reserves are infamous for the ways they treat their immigrant labor who are considered non-citizens and have less rights that the citizens.

Many people rightly claim that Christianity once held that title, but they grew out of it. Islam doesn't appear to have any intention of growing out of anything, does it?

Not surprise one bit. In those countries you are a 2nd class citizens and must pay a "tax"(bride?) if you don't follow Islam

Gee, imagine that. I remember being told not to even wear a cross when I was in the Gulf since we were told if they wanted to push it we could be arrested for proselytizing.

I have heard similar statistics, however it seems to be cyclic. Christian nations used to be the worst significantly, but every major religion has had it's time in the spotlight on this front, or will.

There is certainly a correlation, however there are many other factors that can be identified as the cause... fundamentalism, poverty, and lack of education are just a few.
