That would be unconstitutional - a violation of free exercise of religion.

and we have enough proofs for that ..so are you challenging me becuase iam not an islamic schallors and you feel better to deafet me ?? how sad
You're now just spinning it.

Islam starts with an idea and a motive in the heart of a man. He either submits or does not submit to what he perceives is the will of God.

It is nonsensical to argue "Islam is everything." That's saying the universe is everything, well of course it is, because that's what the word means.

We are not challenging you, we are inviting you to explain a concept which is immoral at the natural level. It is immoral to murder.

Does Utah have a high rate of anorexia? I hadn't heard that.

Actually, what, less than 25% of Muslims live in the Middle East?

I know for a fact based on my own experience from teaching a Muslim from Amman, Jordan in Fremont California back in 1992.

After 2 discussions he disappeared.

When we further inquired about what had happened. His brother told us that word had got out of his inquiry into Christianity and Mormonism. His brother explained to us that the sect of Islam they believed in did not allow them to inquire or even ask about other religions. That he'd seen people himself killed many times himself for even daring to question something that plagued ones mind. To associate with the thinking and behavior of Infidels was not tolerated. We were told that his brother feared for his life and had gone into hiding. I have no idea what happened to the man. He was a very good guy.

About a month later at Zone Conference a letter had been read to us giving us specific instructions that we were not to teach Muslims because of the physical danger they'd bring upon themselves should they be discovered learning about other religions.

That's just one small example.

Rocky is correct that the Church discourages the teaching of Muslims out of a fear for their safety.

On my mission I ran into a group of Saudi's studying Chinese. We hit it off well with one guy and had quite a few interesting chats with him. We didn't really teach him the discussions, but had a lot of good religious conversations. The only time he really got pissed off at me was when I told him American pro wrestling was fake. He was in love with Bret "The Hitman" Hart. It was then I knew that his heart wasn't ready.

LOL! That's a great story.

Poor Ol' Bret was forced to retire several years ago after suffering a stroke. He's in "good health" now.

It was hilarious. We were in the middle of a discussion about religion when he got a serious look on his face. In a thick Arab accent he said, "Tell me about this Bret Hart. The Hitman. The way he walks. The way he talks and wears his sunglasses. He's sooo cooool!"

It's hard to claim self-defense when we are half way around the world in THEIR countries. That is like saying someone broke into my house and killed my wife in self defense.
