So Abdur Rahman of Afghanistan is facing the death penalty for converting to Christianity.


WHAT THE HELL?!!!


A.) It's his own business.  Not a matter of international chaos.
B.) Why are Muslims getting so up-in-arms?  It's not a stain on THEIR souls, so why do they care?  One man's differing beliefs are not worth rebellion.
C.) It's his own soul/belief.  He can do what he wants with them.  So get over yourselves.  If you think he's not going to have 77 virgins and a margarita in the afterlife, then let him miss out.
D.) Come on.  The death penalty?!  That's a little archaic.  And when I say 'a little,' I mean 'in infinite amounts.'


Government officials are even declining to be identified.  One of the faceless has said, “We know there’s a lot of international concern ... We want to resolve this in a way that accommodates all expectations — international expectations and the expectations of the people.”


So I guess they could always maim him or something.
I jest.

You should see me when the coffee kicks in.  Then I'll be pissed.

Well unfortunately, that's not a rare story. There are millions of people who have been killed because they're Christians, and I'm sure that thousands were converted from Islam. It's the world we live in unfortunately.
