Afgan government may execute a man for converting to Christianity.

Here is the link.

The article says it all. Given the international pressure he may well not be executed for it...but then again, it is a fundamentalist Muslim country. They do seem to have some steel in their spines when it comes to capitulating to more powerful nations. I.E. they don't do it. The Taliban, outgunned though it was, didn't surrender to the US government led invasion. Saddam Hussein, equally outmatched by the combined US and British armies, did not surrender. Iran, facing condemnation from THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD, refuses to back down from nuclear testing.

Will Afganistan spare the life of this man? Only if they are forced to. It will be intreauging to watch. We may very well have a new martyr on our hands.
