Man converts to Islam, immediately flogged for...

The following story is too...ironic, maybe? Prophetic? You decide.

In Sydney, Australia, a man who had just converted to Islam had a pint with some friends to celebrate.

He apparently missed that part of the "education" process where they said "Muslims don't drink alcohol."

A night or two later, as he was asleep in his own bedroom at 1 a.m, he woke to find four "bearded men" in the room who proceeded to lash him 40 times, for drinking.

Islam: a religion of peace. Provided you don't drink or play music or show your face or ankles if you're female.

Absolutely fabulous.
