Abdul Rahman Goes Free

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Religion, The War On Terrorism

At first glance, this seems like fantastic news. After all, the guy is being let off.

But the opening on this story certainly gave me pause:

KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan court on Sunday dismissed a case against a man who converted from Islam to Christianity because of a lack of evidence and he will be released soon, officials said.

Well, what does that mean for the next convert to Christianity where the evidence is overwhelming? Will that person be put to death?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see. But for now, I am very thankful Mr. Rahman is free. Let’s hope he can practice his religious beliefs free from scrutiny.

He may go free, but some zealot may kill him for the cime of “being an infidel”. Who did the Bushco/PNAC crowd think that “liberal Democracy” can be sold from the barrel of a gun? Before the war I warned Wingnut friends about democratic Algeria, the Muslim fanatics won an election their!!

Rudi, I believe they plan to exile him for his own safety, or at least, several articles that I’ve read have quoted officials suggested this will happen.
