Take Action Now! Christian Afghan's Life on the Line.

If you are an American reading this post, your tax money, and mine, helped to finance military action in Afghanistan, military action which defeated the Taliban regime and its Shari'ah (Islamic law), and replaced it with a supposedly democratic form of government. However, in spite of the fact that the Taliban is no longer in power, Abdul Rahman is on trial for his life. His crime? Sixteen years ago he converted from Islam to Christianity.

According to Supreme Court judge Ansarullah Mawlavizada, rejection of Islam is against the law in Afghanistan and is punishable by death. The prosecutor in the case, Abdul Wasi, is reported to have offered to drop the charges if Rahman would reject Christianity and switch back to Islam, but Rahman refuses to do so.

Is this what American soldiers fought for in Afghanistan? Is this what American tax dollars were spent for? I hope not.

The American Family Association (AFA) is asking that we step up and try to help in this situation. Click this link to go to the AFA website. Once there, you may click on a link which will allow you to send an e-mail to President Bush, asking him to intervene in an attempt to save the life of Abdul Rahman. You may send the pre-written letter, or you may edit it as you choose. Either way, please take action.
