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

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.

I know why they think he is mad, he must be
preaching forgiveness.

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

It's illegal to proseltytize, or in some cases, toopenly
practice, Christianity in many Moslem countries.

What do you want, to return the favor?

Maybe. Keep in mind, they also think that a man who does not
beat his woman must be mad (or weak).

This is in a place where a man threw a hand grenade into the
lion's cage at the zoo, in order to "get revenge" for his
brother whom the lion had killed & eaten when the brother
jumped into the cage to prove his bravery.

Makes me want to start a Christian mission in Afghanistan, or at least
a holy crusade or something. They are all nuts... and talk funny IMO.
