Sudan scraps apostasy law and alcohol ban for non-Muslims

The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
these legal changes should make it easier to leave/criticize islam without having to fear reprisal from the government or islamist vigilantes.

Well, I guess that's a good first step, but making laws and actually enacting them are two separate ballgames.

And the people who buy this as "a progression of Sudan" should be ashamed: are you that stupid, to believe that a country facing a water-war, tons of wars in Darfur accompanied by a corrupt army-grip of the government; is progressing by allowing non-Muslims to purchase alcohol?? Yes, I do. Would not changing the law have gotten them more water? No. Will changing the law get them more trade and tourism? Yes. I see this kind of argument often: Why are we accepting refugees when we have homeless veterans? Why reform police when the black murder rate is so high? Why do anything if someone, somewhere, has a bigger problem?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Sudan is making progress, then! At least on those two issues!
Whether alcohol is good or bad it shouldn't be banned. Whether Allah is real or not nobody should be forced to believe.

They can be cajoled into believing and they can be forced into acting as if they believe, but belief itself is voluntary. Boru
