<p>This is a <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4823874.stm">wonderful quote</a> from an Afghan judge about a man who faces the death penalty because of his conversion to Christianity:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;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.&quot; </p>
</blockquote>
<p>There are many Muslims in the West and elsewhere who do not support or tolerate this kind of medieval oppression. I look forward to hearing their protests. Please let me know of any I might have missed.</p>
