Indonesia: Atheist attacked by angry mob, faces jail time for writing "God doesn't exist" on his Facebook page

This is just a reminder to the lefties out there that jihadists don't just go after Christians and Jews. The right to not believe in God does not exist under Islam.

Quote:
PADANG, Indonesia — An Indonesian civil servant who declared himself an atheist on Facebook was arrested and is now facing jail for blasphemy after being attacked by an angry mob, police said Friday.

...


An said on his Facebook page that he was brought up as a Muslim, like the vast majority in Indonesia, where blasphemy is a punishable crime carrying a maximum five-year prison term.
... assuming you survive the initial mob beating, that is.

So you're using one incident to justify your ignorance towards one religion? As if treating non-white, non-straight people like crap was completely ok........Because they are the right ones....huh?

He's in fear for this life.

I guess that makes him eligible for Political asylum and if he can catch a flight out of Indonesia he will be on the fastest thing moving to come to the USA where people are not persecuted for their beliefs.

Be prepared for the flood and rush to our borders.

I'm a hard atheist. I would seem to me that if I lived in a theocracy, it would be unwise to announce that.
