'We're not against any particular religion'

This is just too incredible to believe...

The defendant, 41-yer-old Abdul Rahman, was arrested last month after his family accused him of becoming a Christian, Judge Ansarullah Mawlavezada told The Associated Press in an interview. Rahman was charged with rejecting Islam and his trial started Thursday.

During the one-day hearing, the defendant confessed that he converted from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago while working as a medical aid worker for an international Christian group helping Afghan refugees in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, Mawlavezada said.

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

I take that back...this IS believable!  Where is the outrage from world leaders??  What would be the reaction if the Vatican had tried a Catholic for converting to Islam...what do you think the UN, CNN and the rest of the world elite be saying?

UPDATE: 

Michelle has a further update.  Once again, the blogosphere grabs a story that the MSM ignores and then the MSM sees fit to cover it. 

In Michelle's post...there is a quote from the Quran which is worth repeating...

Surah 88:21-22 – “And so, (O Prophet!) exhort them, your task is only to exhort; you cannot compel them to believe.”

The emphasis is mine...

There are links and addresses to voice your concern.  The right thing to do would be for President Karzai to pardon this man...lets hope something happens.
