Karzai 'Gives Pledge' To Save Christian Convert From Execution

Abdul Rahman is a Christian in the truest sense of the word. Facing his death among the animals for his faith.

Why do I keep getting images from Little (unusable adjective) Sambo and the Tiger?

The Muslims are going to go around and around until they melt into a pool of pig poop.

[neodad]

It would be better to get no aid or military help from the West for 100 years than accept this affront

Works for me.

I'm glad to hear we're o the right side of this case. Prayers for this poor guy.

Simple execution? Jesus, these Muslims are getting soft.

What ever happened to mashing a heretic into a fine pulp?

[Cicero]

On Wednesday the authorities said he would undergo psychological examinations to see whether he was fit to stand trial.

Not guilty by reason of insanity? He must have been insane because he became a Christian? I wonder what the Muslims would say if the situation were reversed?

"It would be better to get no aid or military help from the West for 100 years than accept this affront."

Impossible to overcome Mad Moe's teachings. Death of the vermin may be the only safe option.

Every cleric that calls for his head should have his head placed on a pike!!

I listened to Bill O'Reilly on his radio show today...and I was actually embarrassed for him..

He was going on and on about the bravery of this guy...NOT because he became a Christian, and refuses to change his mind..(which is true)...

But, O'Reilly said...it was because he came forward to proclaim his Christianity...

I would think that someone like O'Reilly, who tells the world how he is the "best"...would do some homework before doing a commentary on this..

The man was tattled on by his family over a custody dispute...just like Americans do...when Moms and Dads get divorced...

I am not saying this because Mr. Rahman isn't brave or committed...but because O'Reilly is an idiot.

[Cecily]

I can't believe this fellow is even sitting in jail, although at this point he probably needs protection from the rabble.

[Tribune7]

Karzai has spine.

[pepperhead]

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, said that Mr Karzai had assured her that Mr Rahman would not be sentenced to death.

Well if he isn't going to be executed I guess everything is ok then. (/sarcasm)

[the anti-liberal]

"But, O'Reilly said...it was because he came forward to proclaim his Christianity... "

I like O'Reilly, but if this is his view of the situation, imagine how clueless the rest of the media must be - not withstanding the 'willfully' clueless, of course.

[prairiebreeze]

Makes a person wonder how many other Christians or would-be Christians are being done away with outside of the cameras or else renouncing their Christianity to save their necks.

There is a very long way to go with these people. Makes a person wonder sometimes.....

[prairiebreeze]

I read on another thread that he'd be declared insane so Karzai could save face. And then possibly deported.

??

[bubman]

This arguement may seal the fate of Islam as we know it!

Imagine millions converting under a 'mass delusional fit' to Christianity only to be persecuted by secular humanist in the west!!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

The case is a difficult one for Mr Karzai, who has to be seen by his allies as a moderniser but who cannot too hastily brush off the views of Afghanistan's many conservatives.

Notice how they characterize the Islamofascists who want to kill Abdul Rahman as "conservatives."
