I support this petition 1000%. Every human being should have the right to choose their faith. God loves all his children, and he wants them to be able to love him too. Christianity is a great religion, it brings out the best in poeple that choose to follow it.
I support this petition.
The Qur’an itself supports freedom of conscience in view of Allah’s
absolute authority as judge:
Surah 2:256 – “There is no compulsion in religion…”
Surah 16:82 – “Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad) is only to convey
(the Message) in a clear way.”
Surah 42:48 – “But if they turn away (from Islam). We have not sent you as a
Hafiz (watcher, protector) over them (to take care of their deeds and to
recompense them). Your duty is to convey (the Message)…”
Surah 88:21-22 – “And so, (O Prophet!) exhort them, your task is only to exhort;
you cannot compel them to believe.”
If even Muhammad was commanded not to carry out punishments on those who turned
away from Islam, how much less should Afghanistan’s courts prosecute anyone who
decides freely to convert to a different religion?
Soldiers from the supposedly Christian nations of the U.S., Canada, etc., are dying to support a regime that legally requires the killing of Christian converts? Shameful!
I support this petition.
This lack of upholding the Afghani constitutions inclusion of Article 18 of the U.N.'s Human Rights is blatently criminal behavior, it raises questions about Afghanistans commitment to join the 21st century!
