This man could use your prayers.

Abdul Rahman stands to be put to death for converting to Christianity 16 years ago.

Abdul Rahman, 41, a medical aid worker, converted from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago, a fact that came out publicly during a civil custody case between him and his wife in front of local authorities. The authorities charged him with rejecting Islam, a crime under the country's Shar'ia-based law. The penalty, if guilty, is death.

"Moderate" cleric Abdul Raoulf states "Rejecting Islam is insulting to God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die."

The prosecutor of the case has raised questions about Rahman's mental capacity. "We think he could be mad. He is not a normal person. He doesn't talk like a normal person."

Of course, who in their right mind could possibly reject Islam?

According to a religious adviser of Hamid Karzai, if Rahman is deemed mentally ill, the charges must be dismissed.

Ahh, yes... once again, the "religion of peace" shows its true colors.

Lovely open-mindedness from the Muslim world, eh?
