Afghan on trial for Christianity screams the headline. Basically, some Afghan who dropped Islam in preference for Christianity is up on trial at the moment.
If he repents, and reconverts then that’s OK because: “We will invite him again because the religion of Islam is one of tolerance. We will ask him if he has changed his mind. If so we will forgive him.”
Which is all nice and dandy. However, if he doesn’t reconvert then first of all they’re check his mental state. Now, in my view anyone who believes someone could really change water in to wine and walk on water without using mirrors is a bit loopy so he should be alright there as well.
Religious matters, though, are never that simple.
If he fails that test and they reckon he’s sane, then they’ll kill him. I’m not sure how – perhaps stoning or shooting. Maybe in this more modern society of theirs they’ll have moved on to the much more pleasant lethal injection.
Regardless, how many people would class that as even remotely “tolerant” because I ******* don’t.
Wear your sunday t’shirt in protest!
I do actually have one of my Sunday shirts with me…
