Afganistan Dodges Moral Issue

It appears that Christian convert, Abdul Rahman, has been declared to be insane thereby allowing the courts in Afganistan to dodge the moral crisis they have been faced with in Mr. Rahman's case. Mr. Rahman is the gentleman that converted to Christianity some sixteen years ago and was recently tried on charges of leaving the Islamic faith which carries the death penalty. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and high ranking officials of other countries had voiced their concern to Afganistan's president over the matter.

By declaring Mr. Rahman mentally unstable Afganistan and Islam as a whole is able to avoid the scorn of the rest of the world, this time. I do not know if Mr. Rahman is mentally unstable or not. He stated that he was not. Who will be the next victim of Islam's intolerance and visciousness? Don't fool yourself, it absolutely could be you or me!

The World is Taking Notice of the Evils of Islam

Italy has stated that it would remove its peace keeping forces from Afganistan if Abdul Rahman has to give his life for converting from Islam to Christianity. Mr. Rahman converted to Christianity sixteen years ago while working for a relief agency in Germany. Under the strict rules of Islam, anyone who is born a Muslim and converts to Christianity is invited to come back to Islam. If they do not, they are put to death. In the last few days, American Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, contacted Afganistani president Hamid Karzi to voice the United State's concern of Mr. Rahman's human rights.

The world simply cannot allow Islam to continue. Islam is an enemy to freedom and human rights everywhere. All Imams that teach Islam law should be arrested and exiled to someplace that they cannot spread the hate of their faith. No other faith in the world is as evil as Islam. My stepfather used to say that it was a shame that the crusades did not succeed in their efforts to destroy Islam from the face of the earth. None of the world's dictators have been as evil as this religion. We must all realize this and do what we can to put a stop to the world's greatest terror, ISLAM!

Islam MUST be Stopped!

Associated Press reporter Daniel Looney reports that 41-year-old Abdul Rahman, was arrested last month after his family accused him of becoming a Christian in Afganistan. Abdul is faced with the death penalty for departing from Islam. Under Islamic law, if a person turns from Islam to Christianity, they are asked to return to Islam and if they don't, they are to be put to death.

What other religion in the world today is so barbaric? Americans have given their lives to bring peace to Afganistan yet this kind of vulgarity continues in the Islamic faith. I hope that President Bush will get involved in this issue. How can we, as human beings, support such a faith that has no more respect for human life than this? I understand that not all Muslims hold themselves to such immoral practices but their faith does. Obviously Mr. Rahman found something much better in Christianity and is willing to lose his life for his belief. I hope that other Muslims will see that there is much more to Christianity and a relationship with Jesus Christ! Islam must be stopped!

In World Wars I and II, evil regimes attempted to take over peoples and lands that were not theirs. Islam is much more of an imminent problem than Adolf Hitler ever was. The rulers and radicals of Islam will not cease until they have taken over the world and killed the infidels. My stepfather used to say that it was a shame that the crusades did not succeed in destroying Islam. I must agree. Even though I don't agree with faiths other than Christianity, I respect people's rights to believe as they wish. Islam does not give anyone this right.

I would like to ask all of you who read this to pray for Abdul Rahman and then contact your congressmen to get involved and try to spare his life. We, as Americans, cannot support a regime that kills people for believing in Christ!

Answers to the Violence in Israel

Yesterday's news of two young boys killed when Israel targeted two Hamas militants has caused an uproar again in Gaza. Israel has taken it upon themselves to target criminals that attack it's citizens. I fully believe any country has this right!

Is the trouble in the Middle East ever going to cease? Personally, I do not believe it will. I must admit that my views may be a little skewed. I look at their problems as an outsider and from a Christian viewpoint but I do not agree with many Christian's thoughts on Israel.

Many Christians today, especially in the United States, believe that we must support Israel, no matter what they do. If we do, we will be blessed, if we do not, we will be cursed. Well, I don't believe that I should support everything Israel does by any means. I do believe that we (the U.S.) should support Israel as being a nation. I feel just as strongly that the Palestinians in Israel have a right to call Israel their home too. At some point, the hatred and animosity between Arabs and Jews has to stop. The only way this can happen is for each individual Jew and each individual Arab to come to a point that they can forgive what each of them have done to one another. It is hard for my generation in the U.S. to understand such hatred. And I believe the only way that true forgiveness can come is through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now that we know that is not going to happen to every individual in the Middle East, what is a solution to their problems?

First of all, I believe Israel should take the high road by supporting dialouge with the Palesinians. Then, they should help rebuild Palestinian refugee camps and cities. On the other hand, the Palestinians must stop their rhetoric of hatred. They must stop calling for the annihilation of Israel and the Jews. They must stop their attacks on Israelis immediately. They must also stop blaming Israel and the U.S. for all of their problems in life. They need to take ownership of their people's lives and start working together to build themselves up. If they would spend as much time in this effort as they do at scheming to attack Israel, they would be a model for other peoples of turmoil.

One thing all nations can do is look at what has made America the great country it is. I also believe that America would do well to look back at what has made this country great. America is on a major decline and if something doesn't change, I don't see much of a future for America. What is it that has made America great? It is the freedom that the founding fathers believed every human is born with; freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Basically, all of these can be boiled down into one thing, respect for each other!
