IMO these Constitutions need to be re-written. I don't know why we allowed them to be like this is in the first place. We should have exerted more influence. And the problem isn't only Islam either, at least not with Iraqs, it has socialism in it too. This is a major disappointment for me.
Im glad to see the stance taken by Italy and Germany. A little surprised, but very glad. I dont know why we arent being more forceful about it.
That is hard to believe...no medical support or assistance for them? Do you have proof of the claim? I am not trying to be a smarty with you, but in all that we know to be islam...the premise is hard to swallow.
We need to pray for this man's faith to remain strong as he faces martyrdom, not for the cup to pass from him; also that his death may lead others to Christ.
Help is granted if asked and available. Basically, though, the belief is that the insane are touched by Allah, and that they've been transfigured by the experience, and not able to relate to the normal world as a result.
But isn't that only if they are muslim? If they are an apostate...well....?
"In the case of apostasy all these dealings are to be placed under probation. If he returns to Islam, his contracts are to become operative, but if he dies in his apostasy, or is killed, or resides in 'The House of War,' they are nullified, because he now (in apostasy) qualifies as a frivolous or crazy (mutahauwir) warrior (harbi) -- 'he who is at war with Muslims.' His dealings are to be rendered null and void, according to his legal position. Thus, the warring enemy and the apostate are to be treated the same. The apostate deserves the death sentence. There is no reason for him to enjoy the protection of Islam any longer. Consequently, he is incompetent, unlike the adulterer and murderer who, although they deserve death because of a crime, still enjoy the protection of Islam, since the reason for protection still exists: Islam... As for the apostate man, he is to lose all his property, as was already mentioned."
"As for the Muslim who, without being previously called to repentance, becomes an apostate and, thereafter, loses his mind, he is not to be killed, because he may return to his senses and convert to Islam. If he is killed while being insane, his murderer is not guilty, yet, according to the opinion of the judge, he may be punished"
"The law of Islam cannot be changed by Muslims, for it is understood to be divine revelation. Considered to be above and beyond all discussion, it fights against basic human rights in critical issues. This law functions as a drawn sword, dangling over the head of every convert as long as he lives. As soon as the control of a state is in the hands of Islamic fundamentalists, or when the masses chaotically rush through the streets during religious unrest, one must reckon with the death of individual converts; for the law demands their death without mercy!"

If this happens it is abundantly clear...Abdul Rahman must get out of Afghanistan to save his life anyway.
Even non-Muslim crazy people are protected. It's weird, but I think Karzai and his legal beagles are learning what "thinking outside the box" means.
???????????
I'm sure he will leave the country to "seek treatment for depression".
so strong in my faith that I am willing to die rather than to denounce or reject it.
I'll be praying for Mr Rahman,
stay strong, brother!
How can a father do this to his own child?
Uh, he's møøslimb?
figures!
Sad. These are the same people who raise their children to be suicide bombers.
Sad, truly sad!
How many lottery tickets a week are you up to now?
Calling him crazy is a coward's way out for the Afghans and our sissy State Dept. No progress is made on the most fundamental of human rights, continued oxygen consumption. What a joke this whole fiasco has been.
