A Simple Freedom
May this trend continue:
A Malaysian Islamic court allowed a Muslim convert Thursday to return to her original faith of Buddhism, setting a precedent that could ease religious minorities' worries about their legal rights.
It wouldn't be surprising to see imams across the globe, especially in the Middle East, railing against this "evil" decision.

But how long will she live? Courts can't prevent angry Muslims from murdering her as an "apostate." At least, I can't see how a restraining order would do her any good against the Malaysian ummah.

Muslims - even the most extreme tend to see converts who "relapse" as phonies to begin with. It is the natural born Muslims who they tend to really want to keep in the fold. This is why it is far more important to secure the rights of Muslims to convert from Islam. I am glad that this woman was allowed to leave but it is not all that great an accomplishment.
