"I haven't got death threats. You know why? Because I'm a nice person!"

These comments from Saira Khan did not age well. It requires the bare minimum of human decency to be against *death threats* in response to opinions.
I stand 100% with Saira Khan against threats of any kind. It's inexcusable that someone should face intimidation/threats for leaving a faith. It's also inexcusable to me that someone should face the same treatment for espousing opinions you don't like. Be principled & consistent
