Afghan Man Faces Death For Turning To Christianity
This article in the Globe and Mail shows the deep commitment followers of Jesus have in other parts of the world.
KABUL — The judge deciding whether an Afghan man should be executed for converting to Christianity does not understand what all the fuss is about.Link
"In this country, we have [a] perfect constitution. It is Islamic law and it is illegal to be a Christian and it should be punished," Judge Alhaj Ansarullah Mawawy Zada said in an interview yesterday. "In your country, two women can marry. I think that is very strange."
Judge Zada, head of Kabul's primary court, has already heard initial evidence in the case of Abdul Rahman, a 41-year-old who converted to Christianity from Islam more than 14 years ago. The judge is expected to deliver his verdict within two weeks.

I'm troubled by it. I'm especially troubled by it because I can't begin to think of what kind of a response we in the first world can have towards it. Even our prayer feels very anemic in the face of such persecution.
