Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad; for great is your reward in Heaven; for so persecuted they theprophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12
I support this petition. Every man should have the right to worship in any way he sees fit. Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddist all pray to the same God, Just in different ways.
It is both a terrible and most awesome moment when we are called upon to make a declaration that puts our life in peril. Mr. Rahman has been blessed with the opportunity to do more than just say he is a follower of Jesus Chris, he is willing to give his very life for Jesus. Should we not do all that we can to interceed as Mr. Rahman's brothers and sisters? If our brother's life is taken because he follows Jesus, how safe is anyone's life who declares Jesus Christ is Lord? We all need to hear the wake up call and realize that this earth is a hostile world to followers of Jesus Christ.
Free religious conscience is endowed by the Creator as an unalienable right. They might extort all outward appearances of submissionn to their orthodoxy, but they can neither extort nor extinguish agape, one's love in God.
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. " (Matthew 5:11-12) "... and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:20)
I support this petition 100 percent. The execution of any man for his religious beliefs, whether he is Christian, Muslim, or otherwise, is not to be borne.
I support this petition. Blashphemy is a primitive idea that has no place in civilized society. Every man has the right to choose his belief. UN should step in to apply it declaration on human rights and do away with countries that does not comply to the obligations they have signed.
I support this petition.
Surah 88:21-22 – “And so, (O Prophet!) exhort them, your task is only to exhort; you cannot compel them to believe.”
I would think that the Iman's would at least follow their own dictates.
I support this petition. There is no greater/worse crime than taking the life of a human being. Absolutely no justification for such a deed. Hard to understand how any ethical religion would sanction this.
I support this petition.
Sts.constantine and Helen (on Stoney Island Ave) in Chicago and Holy Wsidom (aka Haigha Sophia or Saint Sophia) in Constantinople (aka Istanbul) will be Christian again Soon!!
Another case of how we (the west) need to take a lesson on the fact that muslims have a different paradigm. You canot dress up islamic teachings and values with democratic values. Please intervene in every possible way for this man.
I support this petition. This is barbaric and WHY is my tax dollars going to a country that has no human rights at all? Are they becoming another Sudan?
The president of Afghanistan LIED to the American people when he was going around looking for support.
This should be outlawed. Jail the sharia courts and throw away the key.
SHALOM
I definately support this petition. If the intentions of the war are to promote freedom then the US must take a stand in this atrocity and help save this man from death.
I support this petition. Freedom of religion should be everyone's right and no one should be punished in following his true faith. Release Mr. Rahman in peace.
I support this petition. There is no freedom in Afghanistan if Mr. Abdul Rahman cannot be a free citizen. If you are an Afghan and you feel compelled to harm Mr. Rahman, then you are not free either. Free Mr. Rahman and free yourself.
I support this petition. No matter who you are and where you live you should be free to worship who you want. its your choice to make not any one elses!
I support this petition, because if Afghanistan wants to appear fair then this should not cause a person to be executed just beacuse he converted to Christianity!
