Michelle Malkin is on the case of a man in Afghanistan who faces the death penalty because of his religious faith. Forty-one year-old Abdul Rahman, who says he converted to Christianity 16 years ago, is charged with “rejecting Islam,” an offense which could bring the death penalty depending on how authorities there interpret the new Afghan constitution, which is based on Sharia, or Islamic law. The case has now come to the attention of mainstream media, and Malkin has more links and video on her website. What happens to Rahman will certainly have a serious impact on U.S.-Afgan relations and may leave the White House in a difficult situation as it deals with one of its newest, democratic allies, recently liberated by American troops.

Yes indeed, it would be hard to have “normal” relations with a nation that kills Christians for being Christians. Especially since most of those young men fighting to liberate that nation are Christian.
Sounds like we all need to remember him in our prayers.
