We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

KABUL, Afghanistan - Senior Muslim clerics demanded Thursday that an Afghan man on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity be executed, warning that if the government caves in to Western pressure and frees him, they will incite people to "pull him into pieces."

In an unusual move, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice telephoned President Hamid Karzai on Thursday seeking a "favorable resolution" of the case of Abdul Rahman.

[...]

"Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die," said cleric Abdul Raoulf, who is considered a moderate and was jailed three times for opposing the Taliban before the hard-line regime was ousted in 2001.

[...]

Rice's direct appeal to a foreign leader in a judicial proceeding in their own country is an unusual move.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters she had received assurances from Karzai in a telephone call that Rahman would not be sentenced to death.

[...]

Raoulf, who is a member of the country's main Islamic organization, the Afghan Ulama Council, agreed. "The government is playing games. The people will not be fooled."

"Cut off his head!" he exclaimed, sitting in a courtyard outside Herati Mosque. "We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there's nothing left."

He said the only way for Rahman to survive would be for him to go into exile.

[...]

Afghanistan's constitution is based on Shariah law, which is interpreted by many Muslims to require that any Muslim who rejects Islam be sentenced to death.

Who's heard of Abdul Raoulf before this? He's basically the Afghan equivalent of the neonazis who want to go to Germany to massacre Turks and other Muslims--a loser chopf#ck!

No, the irrational behavior of "them" will kill him.

"If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can too," he said. "We must set an example. ... He must be hanged."

That from the article. Yeah, keep the populace stupid and ignorant and you can rule with impunity.

We're still financing that nonsense, too. I say it's about time to pull men and money if they can't show some basic respect for human rights over there. Let them rot!

Let's no forget about Osama BL who has yet to be "smoked out of his cave"

It seems as much of the power still rest in the warlords and mullahs' hands, especially outside Kabul in places in the South like Kandahar where no one wants to go after dark, and villagers are still starving in much of Afghanistan. It's really sad.

Did you actually believe that "things going better in Afghanistan" was ever anything but propaganda?
