Muslim clerics condemned Rahman's release, saying it was a "betrayal of Islam," and threatened to incite violent protests.
Some 500 Muslim leaders, students and others gathered Wednesday in a mosque in southern Qalat town and criticized the government for releasing Rahman, said Abdulrahman Jan, the top cleric in Zabul province.
He said the government should either force Rahman to convert back to Islam or kill him.
"This is a terrible thing and a major shame for Afghanistan," he said

Oh yeah , I want to be a muslim too now that I know how tolerant and loving they are ...

That has got to be wrong. Islam is the most peacefull of all the religions.

I know it stated only 500. But didnt it make national news when 1 Christian leader called for death. Any one remember Pat Roberson.

The truly sad part of it all is that what those clerics want isn't illegal there , converting from Islam is , so they'll probably get what they want as usual .

Or, the poor sap will be released just to get killed in the streets.[]

They won't release him , they would look soft in their countrymen's eyes if they did , and they would view that as undermining Islam . Shariah is a very harsh and unforgiving code to live by .

Looks like he bailed and is in Italy. The Italians granted asylum.

Now he'll be a fat Christian from all the good food. Wish Italy would grant me asylum.
