Christian Suicide Bomber attacks Islam

He may die for dropping such a rhetorical bomb on an Afghan court as

"I am, a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ."

The judge said: "We are not against any particular religion in the world. "But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law."It is an attack on Islam. The prosecutor is asking for the death penalty."

An Afghan man is facing the death penalty for becoming a Christian. Abdul Rahman was arrested last month after his family went to the police and accused him of converting from Islam. He has gone on trial for rejecting Islam - an offence punishable by death under Shariah law.
During the hearing, the defendant allegedly confessed that he converted from Islam to Christianity 16-years-ago.
He had been working as a medical aid worker for Afghan refugees in neighbouring Pakistan.
The judge said: "We are not against any particular religion in the world.
"But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law.
"It is an attack on Islam. The prosecutor is asking for the death penalty."


He [Supreme Court judge Ansarullah Mawlavizada ] said the man could face the death penalty if he refused to revert to Islam as Sharia law proposes capital punishment for any Muslim who converts to another religion. Afghanistan's constitution states: "No law can be contrary to the sacred religion of Islam."


Isn't democracy great!?
