Be careful how you dream. Be careful how you talk in your sleep. Good grief.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – A Muslim couple in India has been told by local Islamic leaders they must separate after the husband “divorced” his wife in his sleep, the Press Trust of India reported.

Sohela Ansari told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word “talaq,” or divorce, three times in his sleep, according to the report published in newspapers Monday.

When local Islamic leaders got to hear, they said Aftab’s words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as “triple talaq.” The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.

The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days. Sohela would also have to spend a night with another man and be divorced by him in turn.

Oh, and be careful what you tell your girlfriends over coffee.

… because he’s CRAZY.

Yes, you’d have to be insane to become a Christian, after being a believer in Islam, a religion of pure sanity and reason.

BERLIN (Reuters) – An Afghan man facing the death penalty for converting to Christianity may avoid the sentence because he needs psychiatric help, the country’s Economy Minister was quoted as saying by a German paper on Thursday.

I seem to recall similar moves in the Soviet Bloc back in the day — if you were against Communism, it just HAD to be a mental disorder. With enough time, drugs, isolation, and “counsel”, I’m sure that this poor fellow can be “cured”.

The recent story about the fellow in Afghanistan currently trying to avoid the death penalty for conversion under Sharia law has brought up more cases of “secret” conversions — people who have left Islam but have done so on the lamb to avoid the penalty of instantly being sent to Heaven by the religious police.

“I also spoke to a priest who had passed through Kabul and he said he was amazed that women sitting on the ground at the local market saw he was a foreigner and a Christian, by the cross he was wearing, and attracted his attention to them by making a sign of the cross with their fingers. He was convinced that they were trying to send him a coded message” said Eid, a Lebanese Maronite who lives in Italy.

This is fascinating stuff, and worthy of further exploration. I know some in the blogosphere are working to get the openly converted fellow freed — but more should be done to allow these others who have converted in secret to practice freedom of religion openly.

Signal 94 has a great piece on some recently released Al Qaeda documents, that include the membership rules for joining Osama’s exclusive club of Islamofascist murderers. It even includes a rule that one must recite the pledge.

Signal 94 suggests, since the pledge isn’t actually included:

“I pledge allegiance to the One
Who has strapped me to my splodey belt.
And to the Caliphate,
Whatever that is,
One detonator,
Twenty kilos of #12 common nails,
Five kilos of Semtex,
And my guts spattered all over the Mall.”

More goodies there; check it out.
