Malkin: RALLY FOR ABDUL RAHMAN
UPDATE: Go to Michelle Malkin's blog for the latest upbeat news on Abdul Rahman. Apparently the outrage has been quickly building. I just heard on ABC News (radio) that the Afghan court is saying Rahman may have some "mental problems" which could let him off the hook...(I'm not sure if they use hooks as a method of execution, but I digress...), Islam law suggests that you don't have to execute "crazy" people if they happen to convert.
The man isn't crazy, but if they have to claim that to save face, so be it.
Even CAIR has asked for the release of Rahman:

I wonder where Amnesty International comes down on this issue. Their motto is, "Working To Protect Human Rights Worldwide." I'm anxious to see them get involved here.

rights and advocacy group today called on the government of Afghanistan
to release Abdul Rahman, a man facing the death penalty for converting
from Islam to Christianity.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says
the man's conversion is a personal matter not subject to the
intervention of the state.
Tapscott asks...
Where are Hollywood and the Glitterati? Where are Barbara Streisand? Where is Cindy Sheehan? George Clooney? Sean Penn? All the rest of the intellectual elite of the entertainment world who think it their inherent right to instruct the rest of us on the virtues of tolerating everything from porn to persecution? Everything except the simple faith of one Christian man standing by himself in a Muslim nation.
lWhere are Barry Lynn and Americans United for Separation of Church and State? Where are the leaders of the liberal mainline Protestant Denominations and the National Council of Churches?
The silence of these people is truly deafening.
And where are the Evangelical and Fundamentalist leaders challenging their flocks to candlelight vigils, protests and prayers on behalf of Rahman? Will America's Christians stand by like Saul of Tarsus to hold the coats of those slaughtering this brave man of Afghanistan?
I wonder where Amnesty International comes down on this issue. Their motto is, "Working To Protect Human Rights Worldwide." I'm anxious to see them get involved here.
