Afghani apostate faces death penalty for converting to Christianity; Dark Ages alive and well Local authorities had said they thought Rahman might be mentally unfit to stand trial, but what the heck, they decided to have one anyway. It's a bothersome formality, but they want to make sure and do everything nice and legal like. So far, they're not cutting Rahman a lot of slack. Afghanistan's attorney general says he should be hanged and jail employee Hosnia Wafayosofi told the Chicago Tribune: "We will cut him into little pieces." Senior Muslim clerics also threw in their two cents worth and declared that Rahman should be killed regardless of whether a court decides to free him. So much for winning hearts and minds in a backward Muslim country. Diplomats say the Afghan government, concerned about its international image, is searching for a way to drop the case. But if they do, given local sentiment, they might as well issue written invitations to Afghan extremists to paralyze the country with senseless riots. It's a bit disheartening, not to mention infuriating, to think that all we replaced the Taliban with is Taliban-lite.
