Temporary Sanity in Afghanistan – Don’t Worry, It’s Only Temporary
March 26th, 2006 at 11:08 am by Preston Taylor HolmesThere has been a temporary stay of execution for Abdul Rahman, the Afghani man who dared convert to Christianity, prompting members of the Religion of Peace™ to call for his execution.
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.
The announcement came as U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai faced mounting foreign pressure to free Abdul Rahman, a move that risked angering Muslim clerics here who have called for him to be killed.
An official closely involved with the case told The Associated Press that it had been returned to the prosecutors for more investigation, but that in the meantime, Rahman would be released.
Of course, it helps that the ex-Taliban has rounded up some more lower-profile Christian converts to imprison and execute out of the glare of the media.
