Yes, those are brutal and savage laws. I fully support trying to get them changed there just like I support changing the same laws in Saudi Arabia and other countries. Yet we are able to negotiate with Saudi Arabia and Oman and the UAE.
As for your link about a law banning conversion from Islam to another religion (doesn't actually have to be Christianity, the author is just biased there) it is a horrible law, I agree. Iran also has established laws to protect its Christian minority including representation in Parliament. You don't see that mentioned in the article, do you? Being non-Islamic in Iran is tough. There has been persecution at times and many people have fled but it is not a theocracy that does not tolerate other religions. The government of Iran is not nice. They are not our allies. But to dismiss them as savages and say that negotiation with them is futile is both ignorant and unhelpful to both our country and the Middle East.
