Afghans Can't Get Asylum, Threaten Suicide

Seemingly legitimate asylum seekers from backward, war-torn, Islamic afghanistan are being denied asylum in Ireland and are threatening suicide.

Maybe they should take Ayaan Hirsi Ali's example and lie about their origins. Perhaps they can say that they are Christians who were forced into male circumcision or someother tearjerking story that plays well with the anti-Islamists.

If they denounce Islam, they could probably become internationally acclaimed intellectuals and even be elected to the Irish parliament. Of course, being Muslim, they probably are loath to lie.

I pray that their situation improves.
