Abdul Rahman, the Afghan man who left the madness of Islam to embrace true peace in the name of Jesus Christ still stands condemned by a “judge” in Afghanistan.

Of course the “judge” in this case has already decided the outcome since he is still trapped in the archaic thinking of the 7th century Taliban. The evidence? Abdul Rahman possesses a Bible. It would be laughable if this brave man’s life wasn’t on the line.

Ah, but the “judge” in the case, with a deeply passionate understanding of tolerance, has this to say (via Junkyard Blog) …

“We will ask him if he has changed his mind about being a Christian,” Mawlazezadah says. “If he has, we will forgive him, because Islam is a religion of tolerance.”

Sorry “judge” but, as Junkyard Blog points out, that is totalitarianism.

Good chance they are torturing Mr. Rahman now to get him to recant.

Clearly the Muslims don’t believe what they claim to believe. Clearly they have no faith in the god they worship. If what they present is true then people would be flocking to Islam by choice. And the adherents would never want to leave. But that is not the case with Muslims. This is a religion that is propagated by force. It is a religious tyranny that only survives through fear, terror, and intimidation. That’s the point of this trial of Mr. Rahman. It is to make clear to everyone else not to dare consider leaving Islam.

Let me offer a challenge to the Muslim leadership around the world. Open up the marketplace of ideas. Let your people go. Let your captives choose without fear of death or torture. And we will see how appealing Islam is to the people. We will see its ‘truth.’

Everyone but the so-called mainstream media (with the exception of ABC) is picking up the story of Abdul Rahman.

Michelle Malkin has great coverage. International Christian Concern is appealing to the Afghan President.

And the campaign is underway to free Abdul Rahman. You can help here, here, and here.

Why not take a moment right now to pray for Abdul Rahman. Pray too for his captors that they may be graced with the light of truth. Jesus said, “You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free.” May God’s grace and His boldness give Mr. Rahman a testimony to his captors.
