More Christians Arrested in Afghanistan

Thanks religion of tolerance! Compass:

During the past few days, Compass has confirmed the arrest of two other Afghan Christians elsewhere in the country. Because of the sensitive situation, local sources requested that the location of the jailed converts be withheld.

This past weekend, one young Afghan convert to Christianity was beaten severely outside his home by a group of six men, who finally knocked him unconscious with a hard blow to his temple. He woke up in the hospital two hours later but was discharged before morning.

“Our brother remains steadfast, despite the ostracism and beatings,” one of his friends said.

Several other Afghan Christians have been subjected to police raids on their homes and places of work in the past month, as well as to telephone threats.

3 I'm not criticizing (at this point) but I haven't heard much from Islamic leaders in North America about this case. We hear about Political leaders from the west expressing condemnation but nothing from Muslim leaders. I haven't seen anything, maybe it's just not being covered. I dunno.

5 Perhaps our State Department forgot to include page 2 "Religious Freedom and Democracy" in the packet that they sent over to set up the Afghan Constitution.
