Lame indeed

I'd add that it's not just "Islamic Terrorists" that don't have it easy, in terms of religious demands. (I'll leave aside the matter of Anonymous implying that all Muslims are terrorists, and that Islam doesn't require you "to be kind to others," because I really don't want to get into a pointless argument.) Islamic law, like halakhah although differing in the specifics, sets out in great detail what you can and can't eat, whom you can and can't marry, how you pray, how you give charity (one of the Five Pillars of Islam, Anonymous), and nearly every other area of life. So for Schwartz to claim that the mitzvot "seemed too much" for him, and then embrace a religion which in its own ways requires detailed day-to-day observance, is lame indeed.
