The Most Dangerous Place to be an Atheist

Alexander Aan was just another bureaucrat holding down a desk at the Department of Planning until his Facebook 
Atheism page came to the notice of Indonesian authorities in Obama’s old stomping grounds. Now Aan is facing a 
five year jail sentence for using social media to spread the message that Allah does not exist.

Alexander is being charged with “defiling” Islam by using passages from the Koran to challenge the Islamic religion. 
And while the State Department and the media routinely go on the attack against any manifestation of what they 
call “Islamophobia,” it isn’t likely that they will be rushing to Aan’s defense. This isn’t exactly the first time that 
atheists have run afoul of the Islamic codes under which the Muslim world operates.
