It's all too likely that the judge's ruling simply reflects the reality of the area and that the Christian majority there are simply so ignorant, so bigoted, so intolerant, so evil, so cruel, so petty that the child really would suffer simply for having been named Messiah.
There is very little to distinguish the Muslim Fundy from the Christian Fundy except for the fact that the Christian Fundy can actually bring about the end of times.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
