| 2006-03-23 |
| KABUL, Afghanistan Mar 23, 2006 (AP)— Senior Muslim clerics demanded Thursday that an Afghan man on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity be executed, warning that if the government caves in to Western pressure and frees him, they will incite people to "pull him into pieces." ... "Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die," said cleric Abdul Raoulf, who is considered a moderate and was jailed three times for opposing the Taliban before the hard-line regime was ousted in 2001. Yep. Moderate. |

The guy knew this was coming. You gotta hand it to him. He's got guts. If the mullahs have their way, they're going to be spread out all over the tarmac. |

| #4 I suspect that the US has long been prepared with how to deal with a circumstance like this, knowing the pull these eaters of pork have in Afghanistan. We can parry their attack, block their attack, counterpunch them, or even get nasty with them. That is where finesse and tact come in. |

| #3 Darwin sez the winner won't be them, because God has to follow His own laws. Whether or not I am comfortable with the methods doesn't much matter. |

| #2 "The man must die" Hey sanna hosanna, sana sana hey Sanna hey sanna ho sanna.... An example is to be made. It's supposed to be the ultimate point that makes us leave, give up defeated and rally the west to leave en masse. Letting Iran and Al Q continue on their path to takeover. There is a horde in Sudan, newly trained and heading for the encircling of Israel. The next target when we run from Iraq and Afghanistan at the demands of our media and voters. This martrydom may have quite the opposite effect than the islamists believe. But it will provoke the big clash Al Q and Iran seek so strongly. The civilization clash is being provoked on all islamic fronts - they have gathered in decision. And the decision is all out for global khalifate... Winner to be determined, it doesn't really matter to them. It's the fight that's all. |
