I support this petition. The die is cast. There will be more to follow
whether you execute Rahman or not. You must evolve with the times and let
the people choose. |

Clay Williams :
Freedom of religion must necessarily maintain the freedom to accept or
reject beliefs based upon the dictates of one's own conscience. By
threatening a person with death for rejecting its beliefs, Islam shows
itself to be cowardly -- unwilling to compete in a marketplace of ideas.
If you feel the need to maintain a death penalty for conversion or
prosteletizing, what does that say about the state of Islam? Are adherents
motivated by love of God or by fear of authorities? |

I support this petition. Will your country join the rest of the world in
the 21st century? Americans fought for the freedom of Afghanis. Don't
let it go to waste. |

I support this petition. We have and continue to spill blood on your soil
so Rahman and others would have the simple rights that were denied to them
by the taliban. Do not murder this man. |

them.
I protest the prosecution of Abdul Rahman with every fiber of my being |

If you kill this man, or so much as harm a hair on his head, you desecrate
and destroy the very reason for which your government exists and the free
world fought. |

C Dearing :
Are Islam -the "religion of peace"- and sharia incompatible with
democracy and freedom? Have Americans shed blood on Afghanistan's soil,
become maimed, died and spent billions of dollars to rescue Afghanistan
from barbarism only to watch Afghanis embrace, of their own volition,
medieval barbarity? The freedom to practice our own belief in our own
conception of God is the foundation of our liberty. If Afghanistan's
leadership cannot protect this right of its citizenry, then we have been on
a fool's errand and should leave. |

If this man is punished in any way, I am afraid that every American life
that was lost to bring your country freedom was wasted. Please free Abdul
Rahman, Citizen of Afghanistan. |

I support this petition. The execution of this man would only serve to
demonstrate, regardless of what Muslims claim, that Islam is not a religion
of peace, but rather one of hatred and intolerance. |

Islam is not a religion of peace when it kills people who only disagree
with it. |

The fate of Mr. Rahman resides in the hands of the Afghan people. The
world is waiting for some moderate Muslims to stand up and be counted.
Citizens of Afghanistan, here is your chance to lead the way. |

both American and Afghani lives, and should not be trampled. |

T. R. Potter :
If Afghan Law encompasses the teachings of Islam; then it must support
'freedom of religion':
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.”
Prosecuting this man sends a 'wrong message' to a world that is in
dire need of 'right messages' |
