RE: Afghan Clerics WARN the US!!! (and the right is silent)
maybe they should just get him out of there...some reports coming out of A, say that he's mentally unstable...who know's, this whole thing is being politically driven, looking to pit Christian against Muslim...I say who cares, the converted dude could have contacted the red cross or something to get the hell out long ago...

AP News: Today
Afghan clerics warn that if the Christain on trial in their country is not convicted, they will incite the people of Afghanistan to "pull him to pieces".
Maybe if the guy was a fetus, the right wingers in America would actually do something - likestage a march, a fundraiser, or perhaps pipe bomb a few clinics or Mosques?
As of now, no defense effort to save the Christian, or criticism of the Afghan governement WE installed(except from me). Partisan politics has tied their hands andsewn shuttheir mouths.
Good old fashioned "freedom",,,,, freedom to hang Christians bought with the blood of our soldiers - the ultimate disgrace!
Why does it have to be right wingers? What is your deal man with right wingers, conservs, neocons? I just don't get it. Do you really believe there is one side who are morally better and right than the other? Thats just ignorant. They are politicans. They are crooks bottom line. Last I looked we were all one country. I know some love the division and will do anything to keep it that way. But that way of thinking is really what will be our doom.
RE: Afghan Clerics WARN the US!!! (and the right is silent)
Ifferd -First of all, nothing in your clip says anything about "Clerics warning U.S.". Where did you get that? Please clarify.
Aboutthe situation: He is a citizen of another country, on trial in that country for doing something illegal in that country,sodoes that justify a military operation to get him out? I wish it did because I want him to be safe, but it doesn't.
Being a Christian I want to do something for him, but what are we supposed to do? I also want to do something for the babies being killed in China (and America), the genocide in Africa, the drugs in South America, the poverty in Mexico, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Thelist never ends.
The liberals cry all the time about "religious freedom". This is a perfectexample of a country having their own religion and laws. They want people to do whatever they want. So in this country they're doing what they want, now the liberals are crying that we should save him because he's "Christian". Doesn't that contradict their "religion shouldn't give you morerights" stance? I wonder aboutthis scenario: Say abortion is illegal in that country. He is going tobeput to death because him and his wife aborted. Would the libs still be reporting about it as aggressively as they are this subject? NO WAY! They are crying about rescuing a man who they don't even agree with.
On top of that, the liberals don't even think we should have military over there, but now they're crying for the military to do something. How convenient.The liberalscan't have it both ways (pun intended).
I think this is just another publicity stunt by themedia. They don't care about this man. They are just trying to stir up more polarity. But at the same time they're contradicting themselves (again). More flipflopping.

Our soldiers died to give Afghans freedom. I don't think this is the type of "freedom" most soldiers think they are risking their life for. Would you die to give the right to a gov. to legally kill Christians, or anyone based on any religious grounds?
Take a bullet to install aregime that can execute Christians? Nahhh, that's not spreading freedom. We didn't allow such crazy religious persecution laws in post war Europe or ***an, or in any other nation where we created a government, we shouldn't haveallowed it here.
If they don't want our freedom, they don't deserve one more drop of American blood shed for them. It is a disgrace to our men and women in uniform for Afghans to posit this a "freedom", as I said, what a joke.
If they feel bold enough to pull this stunt with American boots on the ground, imagine what they'll do in the future. This isin the same spiritof what the Taliban was doing, and they were bad and this new bunch is "good"?
Anyone who defends this action and believes it is worth more of our blood to defend has lost touch with what freedom is and defiles the very essence of the values America stands for.
Anyone who defends this has chosen partisan politics over what message of freedom America brings to the world .
Calling the execution of Christians "freedom" is a sickening and warped twisting of what freedom really is.
We went to Afghanistan first and foremost to be free from another 9/11. in the process we gave the Afghans the opportunity for self-rule, and they've accepted it. Are we to send the military anytime, anywhere that someone is being persecuted unjustly? It's not in America's interest to save some foreign citizen from his own government.
RE: Afghan Clerics WARN the US!!! (and the right is silent)
Did we go to Af. to spread freedom?I thought it was because we were chasing diaperheads... ? I took a lot of history in college, and I don't remember the U.S. ever going to war to "Spread Freedom". I think it was because we were attacked by people who were hiding in Af. Am I right?
