So much, too, for the religion of peace, love, tolerance, etc. etc. etc. etc. What complete, absolute and utter fools our politicians are... Will this help them to come to their senses at last????
This man carries the weight of the Christian World upon his shoulders.
Has anyone heard the Archbishop of Canterbury speak up yet? Or the Pope?
If he is killed he will surely be Sainted, he will have given his life in much the same way as Saint Alban. I can do no more than pray that God will be merciful. Will allah?
Allah shows no mercy in such matters. It is Allah who allegedly states that such people should be killed as apostates from the 'one true faith'!
The last I heard was that he may not be brought to trial as he was due to have a psychiatric assessment.
Imagine having to undergo a 'psychiatric assessment' for wishing to convert to Christianity! I would suggest that they had better build mega-asylums for the people WHO DO NOT wish to convert out of that abysmally intolerant faith!
They were saying that he did not talk like a normal person (I presume he spoke of Christian love and forgiveness and other such things totally foreign to those brainwashed by the ROP)...
It's not very difficult to imagine what they consider to be normal talk, is it?
The whole sad saga is quite pathetic, especially so because Westerners have lost their lives trying to bring democracy to people who neither want it nor understand it, and who are much less able and equipped intellectually to put it into practice.
Now is that possibly a clever way to get out of a sticky situation that has attracted such international attention?
If he is found "insane" and is incarcerated instead, he will need our prayers even more so. And if he is incarcerated, it will likely be only until the spotlight has shifted, and then his head may well roll anyway.
A way might be found out of this mess to save the faces of Bush and Blair. I feel sure that there is a frenzy of diplomatic activity going on behind the scenes to this very end. After all, Bush and Blair are going to have egg on their faces if the man isn't saved.
But we must remember that this poor man is but one of many who have been threatened with death, or who have actually been put to death, for the simple desire to get out of that death cult.
Whatever happens to this poor man - and we can only hope that he will be saved - will happen to many, many more in the months and years ahead. We mustn't forget that Muslims harbour the desire to bring their death cult to all parts of the world. Death for apostates is but one tool to achieve that aim.
No, the AoC would be too limp-wristed to say anything helpful about any of this.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is too much into appeasing this death cult to do anything meaningful and worthwhile about this poor man's fate.
Don't hold your breath for Prince Charles, the "defender of faiths", to have any intelligent opinion either.
Prince Charles is a lost cause. I wish he would simply retire to one of his palaces and talk to his plants.
Does anyone know if the Pope has said anything? He is the most likely of all those top church leaders to have any worthwhile comment to make.
I haven't heard anything yet. But, as you rightly point out, he is the only one who is likely to have anything sensible to say; and he is the only one who is likely to have the courage actually to do anything about it, too.
It does this man absolutely no good to proclaim how "right" you are/were about the ROP now.
Who's doing such proclaiming? I'm not sure who you are referring to?
What is needed is sincere, believing prayer on behalf of this man.
Whilst "sincere, believing prayer" may help, I fear that the man also needs a good dose of practical help to get out of this predicament. Prayer alone is not the answer.
Do you really care enough about him to do this?
I certainly do.
Or, would you rather be proven "right" ?
That's a rather belittling sentiment, isn't it? Have I ever given you such an impression before? We all like to be right, of course; but no decent human being would wish to be proved right on back of the life of man in grave danger.
I'm rather surprised you have posed this question. I presume it was posed to me.
Yes, Always. Good for you! All we can do is our little bit "from our little corner of the world". But that's more than many do. And many voices can make a lot of sound! So let's keep on working and hoping and praying.

It is a heartbreaking story, and I agree that prayer is the answer to this.
Heartbreaking indeed! So much for the democracy we've brought to that part of the world!
So much, too, for the religion of peace, love, tolerance, etc. etc. etc. etc. What complete, absolute and utter fools our politicians are... Will this help them to come to their senses at last????

Very concerned:
Thank you for drawing my attention to this petition. Naturally, I have already signed it.
It is to be hoped that enormous pressure will be brought to bear on the Afghan government to release this man in this truly dire situation.
One can pray for Rahman and expose the barbarity of Islam at the same time. That's what I am trying to do, in my little corner of the world.
Yes, Always. Good for you! All we can do is our little bit "from our little corner of the world". But that's more than many do. And many voices can make a lot of sound! So let's keep on working and hoping and praying.
