It's a tough-love religion, people! Daily Brickbat Absurd news bites, served fresh every day. By Charles Oliver Dangerous Conversion (5/17) Prosecutors in Nigeria have requested the death penalty for two men accused of converting from Islam to Christianity. Auwal Jabaka, the judge, said that although the Quran calls for the execution of Muslims who accept another religion, it was unclear whether the state's penal code ordered the same punishment. Jabaka adjourned the court for three days to allow the accused to "change their minds" and convert back to Islam. In the meantime, he called on the government to clarify its position on the matter. "If the law empowers me to (execute them), I will have no hesitation," he said.
