Please, if anyone knows what to do after someone's request for asylum has been denied within the EU and has legitimate reasons to fear for his life, help us. Going back is impossible when an ex muslim refuses to return to Islam and has become a Christian. According to Islam in the Quran it says that these people should be killed. Is there a way to sue EU countries because they violate human right conventions and are obliged to give asylum. Please contact me as soon as possible. I am ashamed of my country the Netherlands. Where could I go to with my friend if he be expelled and what steps should we take to build a future together? We realise that we have to hurry and make steps and accept the worst. Please pray for us, for favour with men and with God, that a miracle will happen and we at last can stay here. Pray that God will soften the heart of the authorities in charge with our case and similar cases. We need wisdom. Your ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.

I don't know very much about the refugees process but I do have a few suggestions for you.\n\nFirst, I suggest you change your story a bit. western societies don't care very much about religion. Only because you are cristian now won't make a difference. What country are you coming from ? I'm not aware of any countries that kill their citizens after having been in the Western World. Are there any laws that state that ? If there are then you'll have much better luck. As a refugee it's your duty to provide proof of you being persecuted. Simply pointing to the Quran is not good enough, I'm affraid, or the entire muslim population could come here as refugees...\n\nUnfortunately, there is a thing called the Dublin convention which states that you must apply for asylum in the first country you land to so you won't be able to seek asylum somewhere else ...\n\nAnother option is to try to immigrate another way (not as refugee). You can try immigrating to Canada,UK,New Zealand or Australia as a skilled worker if you qualify.\nAll these countries have active immigration programs based on points. Go to their website calculate your points and see if you qualify.\n\nGood luck

I am very upset hearing that Muslim women are banned from wearing head scarves in France and now the Dutch are ready to ban women from wearing the traditional Burqa (covering of the body with a coat and the face). These countries are basically telling everyone that Muslims have no right to do what is in their religion. I mean, how narrow minded can these people be? Seriously! These countries are taking away the freedom to practice religion and discriminating against Muslim women (and men) because a few idiotic people claiming to be Muslim have attacked the US. The fanatics should be caught and put in jail but don't tell everyone who are not fanatic Muslims NOT to wear what they want to wear or have to wear as per their religion. \nWhat would happen if the Christian and Catholic churches were banned from having their nuns cover themselves from their head to toe? What about if the Jews were told that they could no longer eat Kosher meat and had to eat non-kosher food because Kosher was banned? \nOf course, the people in these other countries are narrow minded folks who think they are right and everyone else is wrong. How much of this can anyone take? It is NOT right to take away a person's religious freedom because of security. I agree that there needs to be precautions but women can wear hijab and other police women can check them if they need to when they go to airports or other areas that they need to do security checks. Telling Muslim women (and it doesn't matter how many of them cover or not) is basically stating to the world that Muslims have no right to practice their religion freely in public (and in private if they go too far). \nFrance and the Dutch have gone too far with their bans. They need to stop persecuting those who have done nothing to them. Look at their own countries....there are people who are not Muslim who have tried to hurt them and get away from the security. So stop screwing Muslims over with these crappy laws!

I, too, am a sensitive person and an American.  I understand what you are saying.  There are some people in this country who see only the mistakes of our own natioin but not the ATROCITIES of the terrorists.  I can not comprehend how their minds work.  If it is THAT bad here, why don't they move to a country that better suits their beliefs?  I mean this sincerely.  I'm fairly certain that someone will bash me for this last statement.  I am not saying to "go to hell."  I am sincerely asking a simple question.  I choose to stay in my homeland because I love my country. That doesn't mean I agree with everything . That would be unusual to agree with EVERYTHING.  I'm saying that if it is THAT awful for some people, why not choose to be happy and go where you will find peace of mind and contentment?  Here's the deal as I see it....these people take for granted all the freedoms that they have in this country. They take for granted all of the opportunities that are available to them.  They are looking for Eutopia, I can only imagine.  Well brothers and sisters, "this is the last best place on earth" and I for one ain't going nowhere!!!!

--->Is it impossible to get an actual answer?<---\n\nYes actually because you are overlaying a Christian/Western understanding of justification/salvation onto a foreign system.  You cannot do that!  The question is not "are you saved" for a Muslim but rather "are you Muslim?" and "are you being obedient to the Qu'ran/the will of Allah?"\n\nThere is really no need to think about "forgiveness" or being forgiven, just about being Muslim.\n\nThat is why the appeals of Protestant Christianity (which is the "are you forgiven" / "are you saved"....non-Protestant Christians don't ask the questions that way) tend not to work, because there is nothing to be forgiven about if you have. submitted to Islam.  The whole question just doesn't make sense and can be viewed as insulting to Muslims.\n\nYou have to find a different approach if you want to make any headway in a discussion with Muslims over Christianity vs. Islam.

You need to be more spefic with your question. If you believe there has been a viloation of your civil rights under the European Convention you should seek the support of a good civil rights  lawyer. You will have to exhaust all legal channels within your home nation before going to the European court so I hope you have  alot of time and a big wallet, why not try complaing to your local MP or representative or local ombudsman if you have a valid complaint against an agency of the state.

it's quite strange.  on the one hand the law worked and the guy that was calling for non muslims to be beheaded was convicted.  on the other hand, they failed to convict the bnp guy for the milder ( though still ignorant ) insults about islam that he was making.  so now they are talking about making the laws tougher so that he too would be convicted.  well, i am a bit suspicious about that and would tend to want to resist it like most comedians want to.  a belief should be strong enough to withstand free speech.

Hold on to your seat.  I may open your eyes a bit, or wake you up.\n\nWe have our problems, and some don't get fair treatments, but compare to other places around the world, it is by far so much better.\nFrom your question, I can see you have already determined your judgments on the American, with not room for discussion.  But, Just in case there is... let me ask you to take a look at other places around the world, and try to see how fair they are, then compare them to us.  For example, take Drafur, people are dying by huge numbers under the Arab Muslims, many are starving, don't have home or anything at all, and holding on for dear life.  These people are still being slaves to the Arabs, who they claim they are against slavery, yet, some muslims still use people as slaves.  Saudi Arabia, there is not what so ever any religious freedom, if you are not Muslim, you are not permitted to pray, outside your home or even in hiding, never, if caught you will be persecuted.  Egypt, if you are want to convert to Islam, they will pave the way for you with gold, and make it so easy to change your name your life, and even pay you to convert to Islam, but if you wish to convert away from Islam, you will lose everything, even you spouse and children.  Your life will be hard, so hard that if they didn't kill you first, you would wish to die in hiding.  True case, a two teen girls converted to Islam, later these sweet girls sue their parents for their brother, and the court gave them their brother away from their parents.  Christianss are being dumped on, trashed, and their churches burned and distroyed.  But, there is hope for them, because there still some good muslims who are speaking out of them, they are few, but it is better than none.  England, during the riots in England over the cartoons, a man was sentenced to jail for screaming at some of the protesters to go back to their country if they didn't like freedom of speech.  An English man, sentenced by the English government who was against those who were call for another 9/11 in Europe.  Fair!!! Germany a man was killed over a movie! churches are being destroyed or converted to mosques! in the middle east jobs are being given to only muslims even if there someone who is more qualified.  Dubai, if you are or even have an Israeli stamp on your passport! you will not be permitted to enter the country.  Rape, do you know that some of these radicals consider raping an infidel is permitted in their faith! I don't believe it, but they do! is that fair?!!!\n\nLimit gay marriage??? can you tell us where in the middle east, can gay get wed.\nAfrican American slavery? past tense. but they are still slave to the Arabs till the day.\ndid you know that Russian girls are being used as sex slaves in places like saudi,  and Iran!! shocked, don't be it is truly unfair.\nDid you know it is a sin for the salve to run away from their master in Islam, but not owning a slave!\nCompensate blacks! that means one recoginzed a mistake and wants to make it better, or correct it. get the difference.\nShow us one fair, or better country than the US! take your time. you will not find it.

I am British (Welsh) and am never going to hand over my freedom to any Muslim ranting nutter.\n\nSadly our government is so completely full of PC bullshite that any attempt to stand up against these pieces of scum is attacked as "racism".\n\nThey allow foreigners to come here, take our homes, jobs and freedoms but we are not allowed to stand up against it for fear of being accused of racism. \n\nOur last Muslim landlord (they own half the property in our cities and rip off their non-muslim tenants) stole £5,000 from us, sexually harrassed me, left us with no heating or hot water in the middle of winter and his house which he charged a kings ransom in rent for was mouse infested.  When I tried to complain about him I was accused of being "racist" because he was a Pakistani muslim.  Oh by the way, the guy was also a crook who went under loads of different aliases.\n\nMy BF's boss was attacked and beaten unconcious by a Pakistani Muslim neightbour wielding a police truncheon.    He ended up in hospital with head wounds requiring 15 stitches.  When the police questioned the Muslim guy he said that he did it because BF's boss had called him a "Paki".  So they let the Muslim guy off for this vicious attack but arrested BF's boss (still in pain and suffering from his head injuries) for "making racist remarks".\n\nYou see what we're up against???

Omer - normally I would probably disagree with you when you ask a question relating to England as I know you simply do not like us, and I guess that is your free choice (blinkered that it is, and a shame  as the vast majoirty of us are very decent people).  However, on this ocassion, I agree with you that the English hooligans are not better than animals - but please remember that it is not just English people that are involved in this, and that England have been trying very hard to clean up our act in this area.  What to do with them - well with today's techonlogy it would not be too hard to impose a life travel ban on the idiots that cause trouble. As for Germany they should impose prison sentances on them, but doubt they want to waste their taxpayers money on these idiots.

As a US citizen, he is entitled to get a new passport at the nearest embassy or consulate.  He should do so and then return to the United States and present himself to the police in the jurisdiction where he was being tried.  Don't go through the trouble of extradition -- who wants to spend time in a Eurojail waiting for their wheels of justice to turn?  Just come back home.

There was a time when I would have been saying that two wrongs don't make a right.\n\nBut, today, I think what's happening in USA and most Western Countries is right.  \n\nThere's a growing antipathy towards Muslims and a lot of American Organizations have already found reasons to remove the Muslims working there and do not find it possible to hire Muslims anymore. \n\nImmigration of these people here is already next to impossible.\n\nFollowing the precedent of the Dutch banning the burqa, it's only a matter of time before this happens here, too.\n\nSome Country, if not the Dutch, will also take the next step of banning mosques there and then everybody will follow.\n\nThen it's only a matter of time before the harsher steps take place, because such a move is bound to have the Imams go berserk and a lot of Terrorist Acts will take place when there will be a clamor for the revoking of their Citizenships and deportations which will, naturally, come to be.\n\nIt's a great pity that some very good people who are Muslims and do not support Terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism will suffer as a result of all this; but then, what can we do?  That's acceptable collateral damage.\n\nIt's really a very great pity though, that because of these Imams and Fanatics, so many innocent people will have to suffer.\n\nI really wish it didn't have to be so.

They have been answered, just not the way you would have liked for them to have been. He always answers. I'm in the same position now and I thought why doesn't he hear me, why hasn't he answered my prayer. Then I realised he had. It was just that he felt at this time or maybe at no time in the future, that it was the right decision for me. However I am relentless in this prayer and will not give up. His time is not our time. That is so hard to come to terms with, that in a way he has said no. But a wise priest once told me don't ever forget that there is nothing he will not do for his mother, so pray to her for her support in your matter and ask her in her grace to pray to him with you and on your behalf. Between them any miracle can occur and any grace can be bestowed. Have faith. God bless. I will not forget you in my prayers tonight.

You son of a b**ch!  I lost 17 members of my family in Buchenwald and I know many, many other Jewish people who also lost family members.  The Germans kept meticulous records and we know for a fact that the numbers are correct.  If you are a Muslim, then no explantion is needed for such hatred.  But if you are a Christian, then you are not following the tenets of your religion and you should be ostracized from the Christian community!

I left because of the death threats but I resurrected myself in a new account and maybe it'll take them a little longer to find me this time.Spooky how things happen, isn't it? I don't know what's up with all the threats everyone's getting...my guess is over-exhuberant trolls with nothing better to do with their time. But I've been wondering where all the familiar faces had gone off to...you were one of those whose disappearance I had pondered.\n\nTo answer your question...I guess religions are frowned upon when the actions of a few bring disgrace to the many. Islam itself isn't horrible, just some of its followers. Same holds true for all religions.
