Two things

I haven't spoken about this yet, but my own thoughts and prayers are with Abdul Rahman, the Christian scheduled to be executed in Afghanistan simply because he is not a Muslim.  Efforts from the United States and others may keep this man from from being killed, but that isn't yet certain.

Also (and more this weekend) Guillermo Farinas is past day 50 of a hunger strike protesting the lack of something you're using right now (internet access) for Cubans under the regime of fidel castro

Actually, he's going to be put to death not because he's a Christian, but because he converted from Islam. Apostasy.

I hear Karzai has worked a deal to declare him mentally incompetent, and released. Still. We installed that?? It's just like the Taliban, only women can show their ankles at the beheadings.

Islam simply is not compatable with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, nor most of the other freedoms that we in the USA enjoy. Keep in mind that a democratic government is rule by the majority and we are trying to establish a democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan? Never happen until all of the mullahs are rounded up and sent to Allah to enjoy their 72 virgin goats.
