Christian to be executed in Afghanistan for being Christian

Seems like we wasted a shitload of money and soldiers to install exactly what BinLaden was wanting, a country run by religion. His religion . This guy converted to christianity and now hes gonna be executed for it.

Smooth move repukes. You just did exactly what the terrorists wanted to do.

Hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars , thousands of people killed so they can install a extremist religious government that suits the BinLadens just fine...The guys getting fried for his religious beliefs. His christian religious beliefs.

You couldnt dream up a blunder this bad. Bush and his conservatives installed a extremist Muslim government,Unbefreakinlievable.

They want to drop the case because they think the guy is mentally ill.

Personally, I don't understand a willingness to die for what amounts to choosing Coke over Pepsi. If he converted to Buddhism or Judaism there might be more serious point.

or Benny Hinn or any other billionaire 'person of God' to step in and save the day. America takes God and prints the name on every type of currency. They will weigh his value against the PR they would get from helping out. It's all about the money.

Naturally, I didn't respond, but thought I should share it with my DU compadres:

Help Save The Life Of An Afghan Man Who Refuses To Deny Christ

Visit the new AFA Superstore today!Abdul Rahman, 41, faces death because he converted from Islam to Christianity and refuses to convert back to Islam.

His family accused him of being a Christian. During his trial last Thursday in Kabul, Rahman confessed that he converted from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago while working as a medical aid worker for an international Christian group helping Afghan refugees in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.

"We are not against any particular religion in the world. But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law. It is an attack on Islam," Judge Ansarullah Mawlavezada said.

The prosecutor, Abdul Wasi, said he offered to drop the charges if Mr. Rahman converted back to Islam, but Rahman refused. "He would have been forgiven if he changed back. But he said he was a Christian and would always remain one. We are Muslims, and becoming a Christian is against our laws. He must get the death penalty," Wasi said.

It allows people to be executed because of God.

Its great that this new government in Iraq and Afganistan that we paid hundreds of billions of dollars for, is so much different than the Taliban...

Not because he's persecuted but because he's a christian....what folly. What fools the 'tv christians' have become, God must be embarassed.

Latest I heard was that they're going to declare the guy insane, so they don't "have" to kill him. We'll see.

More of the same old xtian = persecuted victim garbage.

I don't believe a word of it

I'll try to find a link but NPR reported on the story yesterday and the man is being tried for abandoning the Islam faith, not for being a Christian. Like I said, it's not much better but let's at least get the story straight.

The real problem is that it is Sharia law that is being used to prosecute this man. So is Sharia law the rule of Afghanistan now? Nice to know we went in and set up a(nother) theocracy there. (I thought we were supposed to be "spreading Democracy"?)

Here's a link to the story as reported (correctly) by the BBC. He is charged with "rejecting Islam".

The way the Fundies are always belly aching about how persecuted they are here in the USA, it seems like they think we do the same thing over here.

:sarcasm:

Oh, we already did. Never mind.

Back when that was our number one priority, before bush flip-flopped and and said bin Laden didn't matter and started lying to associate Iraq with 9/11, right? Before over two thousand American soldiers were killed for those lies, not to mention easily 10,000 innocent civilians who were guilty of nothing more than living in the country bush lied to invade, right?

I fucking hate this administration. Tap me, Mike, so I can tell you more about it.

Or is Guantanamo Bay only for Muslims? Innocent people are being held there and threatened with extrajudicial execution, right?

Were Christians tortured during the Inquisition, or was that just for torturing Muslims and Jews?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
