Twenty Miles of Bad Road: March 2006

"He must get the death penalty."

Jeffrey Dahmer? Zacarias Moussaoui? Some cop-killer? A rapist-murderer?

Nope.

A guy who converted from Islam to Christianity.

...The prosecutor, Abdul Wasi, said he had offered to drop the charges if Rahman converted back to Islam, but he refused.

"He would have been forgiven if he changed back. But he said he was a Christian and would always remain one," Wasi said. "We are Muslims, and becoming a Christian is against our laws. He must get the death penalty."

Are even our Muslim friends incapable of tolerance towards others?

By the way, this isn't new. Do a Google/Yahoo search on "Muslim converts to Christianity" or some version thereof, and see that such a conversion is widely held in the Muslim world as a capital offense.

Is this cool or what?

This is really an update to this post, but I thought it warranted a post of it's own.

I was perusing the sitemeter list of the sometimes tens of readers that I get in a week, and found that someone had searched "gun nut". My post above popped up on page 6 of that search.

Aside from popping up on page 1 of that search, could that be any cooler?

Update to the Update: I also just found that someone searched "IDPA", and this post of mine showed up on page three of the Google blogsearch.
