Hmmm....not sure this was part of the script. Thought that we were helping moderate Islam save Afghanistan from the barbarians like the Taliban who did "awful" terrible things like blow up statues and such. Sort of gives you a bad taste when you consider that crap like this is going on in a country we spent lives and dollars liberating.

Sort of has you wondering if those people who say we should use the Army to destroy our enemies might not be on to something. After all if we are just quibbling about which band of thugs gets to act like 7th Century barbarians then I wonder just exactly we are accomplishing in trying to bring democracy to Islam.

FOXNews.com - U.S. & World News - Afghan Man Faces Death for Allegedly Converting to Christianity: "KABUL, Afghanistan An Afghan man who allegedly converted from Islam to Christianity is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death, a judge said Sunday.

The defendant, Abdul Rahman, was arrested last month after his family went to the police and accused him of becoming a Christian, Judge Ansarullah Mawlavezada told the Associated Press in an interview. Such a conversion would violate the country's Islamic laws.

Rahman, who is believed to be 41, was charged with rejecting Islam when his trial started last week, the judge said.During the hearing, the defendant allegedly confessed that he converted from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago when he was 25 and working as a medical aid worker for Afghan refugees in neighboring Pakistan, Mawlavezada said."
