write your congressman - save a fellow man
I sent this to my congressman, would be nice if more would get involved:
Dear Congressman Smith.
As you may be aware, a man named Abdul Rahman is in danger of execution in Afganistan for converting to Christianity. You have been a champion of human rights around the world and that is why I am asking you to publicly speak up on behalf of Abdul Rahman and put public pressure on President Bush to take action to protect this individual. We have not sent our troops to Afganistan to establish a regime that procecutes Christians. It is our solemn duty, especialy during this season of Lent, to help our fellow Christians in any way we can. You have the ability to raise the awareness of this problem and maybe help save this man. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
your supporter

Last Wednesday, when I wrote the original post, the official stance of the white house in this issue was:
"It's a constitutional matter so it's a legal question. So what that tells you is that there are two sides to this." - pres. spokesman McCormack.
By the end of the week, we heard strong statements in support of Abdul Rahman by the Pres. and secretary Rice. What changed? I like to think that sometimes the noise we make collectively on one issue or another does make a difference in the behavior or our politicians.
In the age of e-mail there's no reason as to why we should not voice our opinions to our representatives. If they don't get any feedback from us, the only pressure they get is from paid lobbyists and that results in the breakdown of representative government.
brokenarrow,
you're right - he broke their law; be it as it may, their "law" is propped up by the US and NATO forces stationed in Afganistan and we, who pay to arm, feed and cloth those troops (God bless them) have a say in what goes on anywhere where US has invested blood and treasure.

DRankin, thanks for the correction. The point is moot anyway. this is an abhorent law derived from an abhorent religion.

SG8NUC,
I finally hear someone who agrees with me! You hit the nail right on the head: some things mix well (different Christian denominations) and some things are a combustible mixture. That's the muslim problem. They do not want to co-exist, they want to dominate; they are not a good hearted people. Good hearted people don't shoot 10-year old children in the back. I think it would be a good thing to do to terminate the operation of mosques in this country, permanently ban further immigration of muslims into this country and deport all non-citizen muslims out of this country.

"Look at ALL the conflicts going on around the world. The root cause (believe in every one right now) are muslims who can not (will not) get along with non-muslims."
-- I think it would help if they could just have a beer or two every now and then to relieve the tension. I think that's the bottom line with what is wrong with islam. That and the fact that their women have more body hair than my dog.

A lot of people here share your thoughts, it's just that none of these people are the ones pulling the levers in Washington. And when people are not allowed to pull the levers of power, sooner or later, they start pulling the trigger.

"Muslims cannot get along with other Muslim denominations. Kinda like Black people hate Whites"
I used to live in a pretty rough area in north jersey many years ago. The only white people on the street were me and my dog. The area was mostly hispanic and some black folk lived in some spots. And next town over, there was a large muslim population. That's where I got my interracial education. And I'll tell you one thing: with blacks you know where you stand. Older folks would be very friendly and curtious; young thugs - you don't want to look them in the eye. But they wore their sympathies and antipathies on their sleeve. And that's how it should be. With muslims, they'd walk past you like you're a worm, very hauty, very full of themselves. They are a disfunctional bunch, more so than the rest of us, that islamic cult has done some serious damage to their collective psyche and I wish they'd all buy a one way ticket back to their homeland.
