"RELIGION OF PEACE?"

People tend to roll their eyes when I mock Islam as a "religion of peace". I've often said the actions of Islamists prove my point only to have an apologist to claim it's just some fringe element that cuases all the problems.

Well, tell that to Abdul Rahman, the Christian convert who is being sentanced to death in Afghanistan for his conversion. But, look at this quote from the BBC:

"The Prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who convert from Islam should be killed if they refuse to come back," says Ansarullah Mawlafizada, the trial judge.

"Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, kindness and integrity. That is why we have told him if he regrets what he did, then we will forgive him," he told the BBC News website. "

Did he just say Islam is so peaceful, tolerant and kind that Rahman should be killed for leaving it?
