You’re Too Kind
Time for yet another installment of that long-running series, ‘How’s That Again?’ or What the Oxymoron Said. Sit down, stop whispering, fold your hands, don’t kick the seat.
The scene this time is Afghanistan, where a judge is explaining things to BBC reporter Sanjoy Majumder.
Under the interpretation of Islamic Sharia law on which Afghanistan’s constitution is based, Mr Rahman faces the death penalty unless he reconverts to Islam. “The Prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert from Islam should be killed if they refuse to come back,” says Ansarullah Mawlafizada, the trial judge. “Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him,” he told the BBC News website.
Brings a tear to the eye, don’t it.
And Our Boys (good gracious – I sound like a leader in the Sun!) are out there helping to keep order in that benighted country, and so through our taxes we’re helping to prop up this barmy doctrine.

Yep. I’m sure happy that my taxes are being spent so usefully. Of course, what’s coming in good ol’ Iraq is even more “amusing,” no?
