I am extremely disappointed with the lack political cajones the President has shown in expressing public dissatisfaction with prosecuting a man who left Islam for Christianity.

However I suspect there are some back room deals going on. The whole mentally incapacitated thing is an out option for Rahman. I seriously doubt he is mentally incapacitated. One wonders if Rahman will play the political game or stick to his faith. I myself do not what to root for.

Crazy that Bush would hide behind sovereignty in this instance when obliterating it in others.

Religious government is antithetical to freedom of conscience. What more proof do you need that separation of chuch and state is the best principle to preserve the individual’s right to believe.

Religion of Peace update:
Ah, that’s the kind of “peaceful” Islam we just haven’t seen yet, right? The way Muslims treat non-Muslims when they’re in charge and able to do things the way the Qu’ran instructs?

Nice. Sounds like a Muslim version of Hotel California: you c…

Abdul Rahman: Prisoner of Islam
President Bush should press the Afghan government to cease and desist, as Rahman’s plight really is no different than the Bamiyan buddhas prior to when the Taliban destroyed those priceless and historic artifacts. It is a clear and unadulterated sign…

Muslims Do Not Tolerate Christians
It looks like all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into freeing Afghanistan have no bearing on how the Afghanis act toward Christianity. An Afghan man, Abdur Rahman, is on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity and could face the death p…
