Afghan Man Faces Death for Converting to Christianity
KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan man who allegedly converted from Islam to Christianity is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death, a judge said Sunday."The judge in the case made what I thought was an interesting statement:
"We are not against any particular religion in the world. But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law," the judge said. "It is an attack on Islam. ... The prosecutor is asking for the death penalty."Right. In other words, the judge was saying, "When it comes to other religions, we're open-minded. That is to say, convert to another religion we'll open your mind. If you know what I mean." [cue toothy grin]. I continue to be overwhelmed at what a peaceful religion Islam is...and this is life after the Taliban.
Clearly, freedom of religion is not one of the freedoms our coalition forces provided for the people of Afghanistan.
