| #3 Not Spencer, but the windbag Hugh that posts on his site. (Not saying the guy's wrong or a bad guy, just that he routinely takes 100 words when 5 would do.) |

| #2 “The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, who leads the Church of England’s dialogue with Islam, told The Times: “I’m amazed that the constitution that has been agreed in post-Taleban Afghanistan under the very eyes of the international community should allow this kind of thing to take place — for a person to be arrested for having been converted 14 years ago and to be threatened with execution simply for his beliefs." He is an English bishop, even though some American Episcopalian clergy are also that willfully naive. |

| #1 The gist of this was that an American minister who was in charge of some interfaith dialogue with Islam was Amazed that the Afghan constitution would allow death to apostates. Robert Spencer was amazed at the minister's ignorance. I'm not amazed at all. The overwhelming majority of clergy get their info on Islam from personal contact or from dumbed down warm and fuzzy essays and the like. Thus, they are vulnerable to misinformation. |
