Death Sentence for downloading and distributing an article insulting Islam?

OR, WHEN MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE IN CONTROL CALL THEMSELVES MUSLIMS AND TAKE OVER GOVERNMENTS

Incidents like this in the Islamic world might make one believe this is the norm. The western media sources give heavy press coverage that proclaims all Muslims are wacky and the Islamic faith fuels hatred.

But, is this the truth? Are all Muslims mean? This seems to be the common western view of countries where Islamic law is the governing law. This is Islam? It must be. If not, then, where is the outcry from Muslims around the world. Or, is there an outcry that is not being given press coverage? Has the western world provoked the people of these regions to hate? Or, has their media been as deceptive as the western media has been at building hatred, and selling 'news'?

Little I can do to help this 23 year old reporter. I can pray. And I can ask you to pray. Our prayers are effective. Our God is a true and living and loving God. Not some death crazed supreme being bent on breaking the spirit of his creatures, but, a mighty Creator who loves His children and endeavors to bring each and every one safely home to Heaven.

The young man's name is Sayed Pervez Kambaksh. He is currently awaiting execution for blasphemy in Afghanistan. His crime - allegedly downloaded articles exposing Islamic treatment of women. It is reported that under Sharia Law, this is an insult to their prophet Mohammed, which some 'Islamic leaders' claim is a crime punishable by death - truth? Only the media knows.

Update: The fate of Sayed Pervez Kambaksh

An update to the Sayed Pervez Kambaksh Story. or, WHEN MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE CONTROL GOVERNMENTS

Because of world wide pressure on the Afghan government it has been reported that Sayed's death sentence will not be enforced. What exactly that means is still a tragic snapshot of life within a government built upon sharia law.

"What they call my trial lasted just four minutes in a closed court. I was told that I was guilty and the decision was that I was going to die", reported Sayed in an interview by Kim Sengupta and reported in The Independent.

There is a petition with nearly 90,000 signatures as of March 12, 2008 and you can add your name to it for Sayed's release. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/article775954.ece

Keep on praying for this young man's life and freedom. God is in control of the situation. Let us participate in His victory over such evil. Amen.
