Americans Rally Around Afghan Christian

(CNSNews.com) - The plight of Abdul Rahman, the Afghan man who faces execution for converting to Christianity, has energized American Christians. The American Family Association is circulating an online petition, urging readers to contact President Bush and ask him to intervene in Rahman's case. The AFA message includes an email link to the White House, along with the following letter to President George W. Bush: "Dear Mr. President," the form letter says. "I ask that you intervene with the government of Afghanistan to save the life of Abdul Rahman who has been tried and found guilty of converting to Christianity from Islam 16 years ago. When told the charges would be dropped if he converted back to Islam, Mr. Rahman refused. The prosecutor in his trial has asked for the death penalty. Thank you for doing what you can to save this man's life

beaten to death and stoned for having a man look sideways at them? Were they writing letters to the pResident then?

These people sicken me. I'm a better "Christian" and I'm an atheistic witch!
