Default Hey, Jon--what about the separation of church and state?

Well, we've "liberated" Afganistan and we're on the road to "liberating
Iraq" and Iran is next. This is progress!

I guess we'd all seem a bit "mad" by their standards.



KABUL, Afghanistan - An Afghan man facing the death penalty for converting
from Islam to Christianity may be mentally unfit to stand trial, a state
prosecutor and presidential adviser said Wednesday.

Abdul Rahman, 41, went on trial last week in Kabul. He was arrested last
month after his family accused him of becoming a Christian. The conversion
is a crime under Afghanistan's Islamic laws, and a death sentence is
possible.

But prosecutor Sarinwal Zamari said questions have been raised about his
mental fitness.

"We think he could be mad. He is not a normal person. He doesn't talk like
a normal person," he told The Associated Press.
