Comically Understated Headline of the Day
From the Christian Science Monitor: Conversion a thorny issue in Muslim world.
How thorny? Well…
Most mainstream schools of Islamic jurisprudence call for converts to be executed. Though the Koran promises only hellfire for apostates and also says “there should be no compunction in religion,” Islamic jurists have typically argued that execution is mandated, citing stories of comments made by the prophet Muhammad.
“The prophet Muhammad said that anyone who rejects Islam for another religion should be executed,” said Mr. Mawlavezada, the judge.
Instead of “Religion of Peace,” perhaps “Religion of Cognitive Dissonance” would be a better term.
