Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
Jim ~~ "A plague on both their houses" could constitute a very good answer to a vast # of ?s I could think of. But it does not answer the SPECIFIC QUESTION I asked, to which, by omission and evasion if not otherwise, you have answered "NO": viz, to reiterate ~~

While it is common ground [or anyhow no-one has denied it since I stated it all those posts back] that there are Muslim societies and states in which apostasy is a capital offence, can anyone name a state whose majority or official state religion is any form of Christianity. where this applies NOW; TODAY; not in the 16thC or in India in 1858 [if it did, which I beg leave to doubt]???

The failure of Jim, Ian, or anyone else to furnish any contemporary example of such constitutes, in any rational terms a

N O

and any attempt by Jim or anyone else to gloss any such failure to respond as being synonymous with Mercutio's famous dying curse from Romeo&Juliet is, I would submit, mere pissing down the wind...
