They kill you if you are a Christian.
They kill you if you are a Buddhist.
They kill you if you are a Jew.
They kill you if you are a Hindu.
They kill you if you listen to music.
They kill you if you play music
They kill you if you record music.
They kill you if you dance to music.
They kill you if you sell ham.
They kill you if you skip Ramadan.
They kill you if you fly a kite.
They kill you if you teach girls to write.
Armando Simón is a Christian who listens to music, dances to music, eats bacon, eats ham, taught his daughter to write, and is the author of Stories for Lions and Other Felines (where you will find Muslim characters).
