You have to love the double standard:

In case you haven’t been paying attention, currently there is a case going on in Afghanistan where a man by the name of Abdur Rahman is on trial for converting to Christianity from Islam. The idea of converting from Islam to any religion is considered such a crime under Sharia or Islamic Law, that it can be punishable by death.

Weren’t we just watching millions of Muslims protest around the world for the satirical depiction of Muhammad in a Danish newspaper?

So let me get this straight. Muhammad can’t be drawn in a cartoon with a bomb on his head because it’s offensive but a Christian convert can be executed? Though it would never happen, I would enjoy seeing millions of Christians around the world come in mass to protest as an answer to their cartoon protests and see what the reaction would be.
