KABUL, Afghanistan Mar 19, 2006 (AP)— An Afghan man is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death on a charge of converting from Islam to Christianity, a crime under this country's Islamic laws, a judge said Sunday.

Afghanistan's constitution is based on Shariah law, which is interpreted by many Muslims to require that any Muslim who rejects Islam be sentenced to death, said Ahmad Fahim Hakim, deputy chairman of the state-sponsored Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission.

The prosecutor, Abdul Wasi, said he had offered to drop the charges if Rahman converted back to Islam, but he refused.

"He would have been forgiven if he changed back. But he said he was a Christian and would always remain one," Wasi told AP. "We are Muslims and becoming a Christian is against our laws. He must get the death penalty."

2. Ain't Democracy Grand?

Where is Pat Robertson on this issue? They won in a fair election that was hailed as a huge victory for Bush*. I'm sure Iraq follows the same Islamic laws as Afghanistan.

3. Well, Iraq did write their Constitution to say that Islam was the law of

the land and that no laws could be passed that conflicted with Islamic teachings.

6. Fundies will ignore this as they ignored.

Jeffy Gannon and the WH cozyness with a known male prostitute.

They also ignore Saudi Arabia's dismill human rights record and persecution of Xtians. Fundies are hypocrites in the extreme.
