Afghan man faces death for Christian conversion

KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan man is being prosecuted in a Kabul court and could be sentenced to death on a charge of converting from Islam to Christianity, a crime under the country’s Islamic laws, a judge said yesterday.
The trial is thought to be the first of its kind in Afghanistan and highlights a struggle between religious conservatives and reformists over what shape Islam should take here four years after the ouster of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban regime. ”
That’s it folks we lost. Whats the difference between now and the taliban regime? Back then the taliban was a strong religious government backed by Texas Oil Barrons that wanted to build a pipeline through afghanistan. Today it is still a religious fundimentalist government but proped up by the US government and not private industry. AlQuida and Talirban seem to be coming back, the peaceful streets I walked through near Bagram have been come centers for protesting American policies, and killing afghan soldiers. Women still wear the Buqras, and the only place you won’t see this is in Kabul where the occational prostitute is seen in stillettos. See afghans can have their cake and eat it too. Religious fundimentalists can control the countryside, while taking weekend excursions to Kabul for some Chinese food, a Chinese “massage” and some Chinese Aids. Yes all the new freedoms our liberation brought the HIV. Sure afghans are doing better now, jobs have been created, there is a chance now. But in 4 years things have not improved a hell of a lot.
Also its important to know that every Afghan I have had a close relationship to has always had upmost amount of respect for christians, (they still hate athiests like me, but the russians really burned those bridges) but they respect all other “god fearing groups” so I cannot believe that democratically the people want to hang christians, I think its the same religious fundimentalists from the taliban that are still in power today. It makes all the work I did seem like it was for nothing. Ironically we hear that the troop levels will be going down in Afghanistan.
Imagine this: Immediately after 911 we sent rangers and spec ops into afhganistan. Lead by the CIA at the Battle of Tora Bora, the rangers captured Usama trying to escape, we brought him to trial and publically executed him. We never invaded Iraq, The US military was not stretched too thin and committed adequate amounts of troops and supplies to afghanistan, we sent all civil affairs soldiers into the country and every province of the nation saw immediate development. Industry was created and the poppy fields were replaced with rice and wheat fields. A democratically elected government took over and a new age of prosperity where muslims hindus and christians would be protected.
Its not a pie in the sky idea, its called doing the job right. Buts never been about making afghanistan better its about an oil pipeline running from the north through western afghanistan and out into pakistan. Its about paying off the bad guys and no longer about justice. Its about marketing advertising and selling fake realities to our people. Its about covering up the truth.
What if the world is really more like the Matrix than we want to admit. Where our realities and information are spoon fed to us from a conservative illuminati baby food jar. Well I’m not eating it anymore and I encourage you to stop eating it aswell. There is still a little bit of truth out there, so get it before they take that away too.
This blog is in honor of all my brothers in arms who have been killed in the forgotten wars.
