Well there was a flurry of Jade stories in the press, so I added this one.
And for the record, "Christening" is not actually Biblical, as the New Testament clearly points out that those who are to be baptised, should be believers. As a further aside, the word used for baptism actually means immerse in the Greek.
And finally I have regular conversations with a very nice Muslim, which is why I used the word extremist, to distance them from moderate Muslims who will also dispair at these claims.

Sticks, I didn't intend to make it sound like you were being racist towards Islam or posted this to get reactions.
I was moreso pointing towards the fact that the article itself is very sensationalist, in the fact that the views posted within it aren't so "bad" as they make out. Islamists are saying if someone is not of the Muslim faith, then they won't go to heaven. What's so bad with that? They believe this to be true in their faith, so they've said it.
I've been told many times by Christians on the street that I will be judged by God for not being a practicing believer.
