The media here in the U.S. is promoting this case too. They've suddenly discovered Christian persecution because they think they can use it to embarass the president. It's the same thing they did with Sudan--You would have thought Sudan wasn't on any of the maps in the newsrooms until there was a GOP Christian in the White House.

It is hard to overcome the 'superstition' that is a very large part of the Muslim religion.

I am praying for Abdul Rahman. Unfortunately, I doubt there is anything that any of us, including President Bush, can do.

The thesis that promoting democracy - a political framework - to overcome islam - a religion - is flawed. The way to overcome a religion is through another religion. Our dealings with the middle east should center upon their tolerance of Christianity first, democracy and economics second and third. Religious tolerance first and foremost would eventually allow other secular political reforms to occur. islam is no basis for democracy, and that's the third rail of American politics in the 21st century.

Why would the left be opposed to his execution? They want to eliminate Christianity and are for anything that helps that effort!

A preview of what will happen if/when islam becomes the dominant "religion" anywhere.
Time to block all immigration from muslim countries NOW.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Excuse me - you are upset that this makes Bush's policy look bad? Maybe Bush suddenly discovered Christian persecution by Muslim hands? Maybe he should be embarrassed that this is the outcome of the policy he put in place?

Worry about Mr. Abdul Rahman and less so how the president may feel embarrassed that his policy may result in a Christian's martyrdom.

Bush never once mention the hundreds of Churches and Christians Kosovo Muslims destroyed on his watch - maybe it is time he was embarrassed a little bit and he take back his words that "Islam is a Religion of Peace".

Or is confronting Bush on this verbotten party policy because he is the Dear Leader?

Is this why we have shed American blood and invested American treasure to set a people free?

I am so sick of this STUPID question. No, Mr. Colson, American troops did NOT go to Afghanistan to liberate it and establish democracy. To the extent that these may have happened, it is a SIDE benefit.

American troops went to Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban because they were harboring Bin Laden and providing bases for Al Queda. Period. American troops went to Afghanistan to protect Americans and American soil.

And that is why American troops are staying.

Glad you're waking up Chuck.

Islam cannot be "democratized."
