Why are we fighting in Afganastan if not to favor a basic democracy principle of freedom of religion? How can they practice democracy and respecting the rights of others, without recognizing its one of its most basic tenants? Whoever said that our President must speak out himself, loud and clear objecting to this law, is quite right. What a brave man, we should all be appauled at this execution.

People look at me like i'm insane when I say the Order of Knights Templar should be reinstated. But this sort of thing really only serves to prove my point. I'm not saying we should go launch a holy war agianst Islam, but at what point do we recognize the right to defend ourselves?

Christ is at work in Afghanistan. Abdul Rahman is touched by Christ love and nothing in the world can take that away from him. I salute him for his bravery and his undying faith. Individual faith is a freedom given by GOD, it is an individual right and other human beings could take that away?

There is a law in the Muslim religion that doesn't permit a moslem to become a christian! In Marocco, even when asked to baptize a child or an adult into the Catholic church the priests were not allowed to do so. If someone wanted to become a christian they had to leave the country and know that they could never return, or else face the death penalty! So you see it is not only the Talibans nor "the Bad guys" who do that,it is a Law for ALL Muslims, and I suspect that we can protest but I doubt whether it would do any good, on the contrary, it might cause more problems for non muslims, for meddling into their religion???!!!

Do you get the feeling that the world has been turned upside down? That evil is good and good evil? I hope God in his infinite mercy can spare his this man's life. I will pray for his safety.

This brave soul in all likelihood is going to die for his faith due to a lack courage on the part of senior leaders in the western world. Could you imagine what would happen if a western country put a Muslim in prison (I won't even go into killing him because that possibility is just beyond comprehension)just because he was a Muslim? The uproar in the international community would be horrendus. To add insult to injury countries that are supposed to be Christian have troops fighting for the very government that in all probability is going to execute this individual because of his faith. Shame on the U.S. government, shame on the UK government and others. At least the Italian and German governments had the courage to say something. The Vatican should demand that the US government intercede on this mans behalf. If they refuse, the Vatican should put forth candidates in upcoming US elections that will declare the US a Christian Nation that will from this point forward defend Christians rights around the world. Additionally all personnel in the US should declare allegiance to the US Constituition and their faith. Those that refuse should lose their citizenship and be sent to the appropriate country (which I suspect most would be Islamic Republics). People need to wake up. The War On Terror is a Religious War make no mistake about it. It was not a bunch of Southern Baptists that attacked New York, Washington DC, London, Madrid, Beslan, etc.
