It seems the Christian man in Ashcanistan who boldly proclaimed his faith is free, as it were:
The Afghan man facing a possible death sentence for converting from Islam to Christianity scored a victory today when a court in Kabul dismissed the case against him.
Under mounting pressure from countries including the United States to free Abdul Rahman, officials cited a lack of evidence in their decision to drop the case.
Not enough evidence? What do they need, a proclamation from Muhammed on the mountaintop? Rahman publicly admitted that he was a Christian, and even accepted the death sentence, if that was the final end of his appeal.
Perhaps this is their way of saving face in the heat of criticism.
Rahman: "The punishment by hanging? I will accept it gladly, but I am not an infidel. I am not a traitor. I am a follower of Jesus."
This is no big loss for the government. Why not give in to U.S. pressure, wash its hands of the case, and assure everyone of its enlightened state? After all, it can count on the good followers of Allah to murder him in the streets, any day. I believe it was his own wife who turned him in to the authorities, love her shriveled, black soul.
I pray that the good Lord puts His hedge of protection around this man, and keeps him safe wherever he may go. God bless him for his courage and his refusal to deny Christ.
