Better think twice before you change churches - well - at least - if you change faiths from Islaam to something else. Especially Christianity.
Man on trial for converting from Islam
Well, isn't it nice to see that Islam is a religion of love and tolerance?
I can't think of any other modern faith which would consider execution as a justifiable response for someone who chooses to leave its faith. I don't even think that in some of its worst history, the Christian Church has ever been THAT bad.
I'm just absolutely floored by this. I mean, human nature rarely surprises me - but the idea that a modern day organized religion would call for someones death simply because they don't want to follow that faith anymore?
How did we end up letting these people get control of Afghanistan AGAIN after we took out the Taliban? No, don't tell me, it wil only depress me.
Religion of peace.
Yeah, right.
Man on trial for converting from Islam
Excerpt said:KABUL, Afghanistan - Senior Muslim clerics said Thursday that an Afghan man on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity should be killed regardless of whether a court decides to free him.
Abdul Rahman, a 41-year-old former medical aid worker, faces the death penalty for becoming a Christian under Afghanistan's Islamic laws.
