There’s a protest at the Afghan Embassy tomorrow at noon. But it’s not for anything I would have expected.
Apparently, you can commit apostasy in Afghanistan. As in, it’s a crime. As in, atheism or christianity or buddhism or shintoism, they’re all crimes. For which they’ll kill you.
But yeah, protest at the embassy tomorrow. I may not agree that any one religion has primacy over the rest, but I certainly don’t think a state ought to choose which religion gets protected status. If you’re interested, there’s a group meeting at the embassy at noon.
