Well, at least they aren't persecuting Muslims by not allowing them to display Islamic religious displays on government property, so they are doing something right.

Personally i would love to see rapists convicted of multiple counts of rape, child molesters, and serious drug trafficers *read...cocaine, meth...and ect* be put on death row.
