““islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. that is why we have told him if he regrets what he did, than (sic) we will forgive him.“
so says the judge concerning the trial where they want to kill the guy for converting to christianity. does anyone else find that line funny and stupid? i have equal disdain for most of the major religions of the world, but this is the height of stupidity. this is why im happy i dont live in a country run by fundamentalists. wait…forget i said that. they claim its their country, their laws, their traditions. so what? that doesnt mean its not stupid. hello sharia, welcome to the 21st fucking century. no country is without flaw, but this goes beyond nationality and cultural institutions. they want to kill someone for not believing in the religion they believe in? thats stupid on a humanist level.
