Holding that (1) an IJ requiring an asylum-seeker to produce corroboration of her religion-based claim in the form of an affidavit from her husband was not an abuse of discretion, (2) a Muslim militiaman yelling at the Christian asylum-seeker to stop praying did not constitute past persecution, and (3) the asylum-seeker had demonstrated no well-founded fear of future persecution largely because the Central African Republic is majority Christian. The dissent in this case argues that the agency abused its discretion for several reasons, including failing to consider important country conditions information supporting the asylum-seeker's well-founded fear.
