Alexander Aan, imprisoned in Indonesia for saying he was an Atheist, has been released from prison. He still faces the threat of murder from Muslim fanatics.

Punishing the victims of religious hostility for "instigating" it is like punishing women for "instigating" rape. Oh right, these religious fanatics would probably do that too.

Before his sentencing, Aan let down the cause of religious freedom in Indonesia by apologizing for his "crime" and officially converting to Islam. Like Chelsea Manning's apology, that gave the enemy a victory that it could never have got on its own.
