You say that Islam allows for other religions etc. to be practiced, but I found the opposite to be true. I have friends who were deported from the UAE for trying to spread another religion. We also see that there is little or no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia. Are you saying that there is a vast divide between theory and practice? Or is your interpretation of the Quran incorrect?
