#3 They said his apostasy trial violated the UN Declaration on Human Rights to which Afghanistan is a signatory.

Not a problem, the Moderate Muslims(tm) did edict their own version of the UN human rights chart, which sez human rights are to be assigned accordingly to the Sharia(tm).
So, to continue on Gromgoru's cue, the system does work! Neat-O!

#5 Reminder, Mr. Al Zafiri: We are in your country because this kind of thinking killed 3000 of our folks. We are not going to allow all-encompassing Islam to murder its way into power again in Afghanistan. We are there to snuff out this same mentality-the one that allowed the pestilent Taliban to gain power in Afghanistan in the first place. Had you folks had the balls and common sense to stand up to this psychopathic mindset in the first place, your country would not now be regarded as tied with Sudan and Rwanda as the most primitive, most barbarous nations in the world; the WTC, Pentagon and Shanksville would look today as they did in 2000, and 3000 of our loved ones would still be walking this earth. No Islam-by-the-sword allowed anymore-you can thank the "Magnificent 19" for your being subdued by your new guardians. When you grow up, maybe you'll be allowed to play by yourselves.

#6 Zarifi, whose organisation is government-funded, said the UN declaration did not apply in this case since conversion away from Islam violated a system and not merely the rights of an individual.

So, that brand-spanking-new constitution thingy of yours, you know, the one that declares freedom of religion and empowers a system of law means nothing after all, eh? Afghanistan needs to be put on notice that any reversion to theocratic rule will be given the "rinse and repeat" treatment.

I'm now at the point where theocratic rule needs to be declared a fundamental violation of human rights. Since it is difficult to imagine a theocracy that permits freedom of religion, I don't see too many contradictions in this stance. Ergo, even countries that democratically elect a theocratic government are entitled to a free dose of foreign sponsored regime change.

This falls in line nicely with my own theory that democracy and representative government are fundamental human rights.

Rahman's case should never have been allowed to be swept under the carpet. However fragile Afghanistan's cooperation might be, this critical issue should have been spotlighted. Just as Western defiance regarding the cartoon jihad should also have been the order of the day.

#7 Yeah, that's the problem with "democracy" Islamic style. I mean, "Converting is not a matter of one person’s rights but it is against an administrative structure. Afghanistan’s administration is based on Islamic law . . ."

So they all turn out to vote, and then vote in this crap.
