Still intolerant
Freedom of religion does not exist in Afghanistan. The fear of Christianity spreading through was is an Islamic nation almost led to the execution of this man pictured on the left, Abdul Rahman. My dear friend Rob wrote about this very same subject just a few days ago. The Jedi Master is frustrated and probably a bit angry, that an Afghan court would seek to execute a man for converting to Christianity. Have we removed the Taliban from power only to see another group of intolerant Muslims oppress the Afghan people? I now have to say it appears that way, at least in this instance. As Rob said in his post "I believe that the outcome of this situation may reveal the true nature of Islam." You're probably asking yourself, why all the negativity? They let the guy go didn't they? Sure they let him go, only because of international pressure. They came up with some sort of lame cover that there was insufficient evidence. Well that begs the question, what if they had enough evidence? Were it not for international pressure, he would have surely been executed. So what am I saying? The Islamic fundamentalists that apparently still wield a lot of power learned a valuable lesson, the next time the trial will be short and secret. The convicted party will be executed quickly and we will not hear a word about it.

Sad but true. I agree, the next person who converts to Christianity will come to a quick and silent end.
I can see where this could easily erupt into something like the Salem Witch Trials: I don't like my neighbor so I'll accuse them of being a Christian. Suddenly. . no more neighbor.
