Michelle Malkin and Cam Edwards had an idea. They wanted to show their support for Abdul Rahman, the Afghani man now on trial in Afghanistan for being a convert to Christianity who is facing a possible death sentence if convicted.

Cam Edwards said this on his blog, "Abdul Rahman’s been on my mind a lot over the past couple of days, so last night I emailed Michelle and asked her what she thought about a rally in support of Rahman outside the Afghan Embassy in D.C. She thought it was a great idea.

"Because a) I don’t want anybody thinking that this is an official function of my day job and b) they’re really good at stuff like this, I contacted the DC Chapter of Free Republic."

Kristinn, Cam and Michelle have been in contact with one another this morning, and we have a permit application filed with MPDC for this Friday. I have confirmed with MPDC that all is OK with our application. The event is officially a "GO."

From Michelle's blog, here are the particulars:

Friday March 24
Noon to 1pm
Outside the Afghan Embassy
2341 Wyoming Ave NW.
Washington DC

Please join us on Friday if you can.

As always, the DC Chapters Rules for protesting apply.
Briefly they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

The U.S. and our coalition partners have overthrown tyranny in Afghanistan and have aided the Afghan people to establish representative government. Moreover, we have refrained from taking reprisals against Afghanistan as a nation for the atrocities perpetrated by Al-Queda and its allies. The least we have the right to demand in return is freedom of religion.

Additionally, as the Danish Foreign Minister pointed out (Thank you again, Denmark!) the Constitution of Afghanistan requires freedom of religion, so that the prosecution of Abdul Rahman, and others like him, is illegal as well as unconscionable.
