Intolerable indeed. This outrage can't be allowed to go unchallenged.
What would you suggest? Replace the government that the United States helped to put in place to replace the original government? What about 'spreading democracy'? The new constitution established the government and the Afghans put it there freely.
The Afghan constitution is a work of studied ambiguity when it comes to religious liberty. Article 2 says Islam is Afghanistan's religion, but it also stipulates that other religions are free to perform their ceremonies within the limits of the law (whatever that means)
This had to be have been written by Rich Lowry. Only an idiot wouldn't understand that this means under their new and improved Westernized constitution Islamic law will be supreme in Afghanistan.
What outrage? The fact the guy has been arrested for his religious beliefs? He ain't dead yet.
