Yeah I hear you.. This testimony is a double-edged sword.

It testifies of this man’s faith and testifies of Islam’s violent and murderous theology.

in addition, from the TODAY’S Yahoo nEWS COVERAGE:

“Muslim clerics in Afghanistan condemned Rahman’s release, saying it was a “betrayal of Islam,” and threatened to incite violent protests.

“Some 500 Muslim leaders, students and others gathered Wednesday in a mosque in southern Qalat town and criticized the government for releasing Rahman, said Abdulrahman Jan, the top cleric in Zabul province.

He said the government should either force Rahman to convert back to Islam or kill him.

“This is a terrible thing and a major shame for Afghanistan,” he said.”

Violent protests? That’s crazy, man.

Yeah, I know it’s too strange – I take it back that “I hope” that this guy will be executed… You’re right – that’s overboard. I guess what I meant was that if he were to be executed, it may actually promote a greater good. But perhaps that’s wacky thinking. Really, I was hoping that this story would become even more mainstream = and expose the particular theology that calls for the man’s execution. My question: where were the Islamic “peaceful” representatives denouncing this man’s potential execution? As they say, “the silence is deafening.”

Anyway, as I write this, I know that he as already been granted asylum in Italy.

That is strange that you want this guy executed ?!! But I see your point.

Hopefully there’s other ways to make that point without death of Christians, like a plain reading of Sharia Law which says, “death for all those who abandon Islam.” We can leave it to liberal hermeneutics to interpret that passage as they try to articulate the theology of the “religion of peace.”

Dude – i’ve been feeling the same way about the news. Normally I’m a news hound, but I’ve been staying away because it’s too depressing. I guess it proves the proverb – trusting in man is a snare! And that’s what the Republican-Christian does – I think they put too much faith in the politics – when we know that the world is going to decay and decay.

Anyway – great blog entry. In a strange way – I hope that the man WILL be executed for 2 reasons:

1. It may demonstrate the barbaric ways of Islamic law.
2. It may galvanize the the Christian community at large.

Lastly – great hymn. Our YG sings that one – it’s a good one!
