LINK Home Office cites Bible to deny asylum | News | The Times

The Home Office refused asylum to an Iranian who converted from Islam to Christianity because, it said, Christianity was not a peaceful religion.

Immigration officials wrote to the man, who had converted to Christianity on the ground that it was a peaceful religion, citing violent passages from the Bible to support their claim. They said that the Book of Revelation was “filled with imagery of revenge, destruction, death and violence”.

Well, I couldn't read the whole article, but from the part presented, it seems that the Home Office might have someone with an axe to grind. Jesus said I know you guys are easily distracted so let me make this simple for you (so maybe he didn't say that exactly): "Love the Lord your God... Love your neighbor as yourself". That's it. That seems pretty asylum worthy to me.
