An Afghan man facing a possible death penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity may be mentally unfit to stand trial, a state prosecutor said Wednesday.

Abdul Rahman, 41, has been charged with rejecting Islam, a crime under this country's Islamic laws. His trial started last week and he confessed to becoming a Christian 16 years ago. If convicted, he could be executed.

Police arrested him last month after discovering him in possession of a Bible during questioning over a dispute for custody of his two daughters. Prosecutors have offered to drop the charges if Rahman converts back to Islam, but he has refused.

I read this story - if this is the "freedom" that our brave troops have given their lives up for, we should get the hell out of Dodge.
 
A democracy is where people can vote to have a man put to death.

All countries are and always havea been democracies. The only difference is in who gets to vote and how often. Just like here.
 
Yes we are a democratic republic but we are also a nation of law. Laws which protect a persons right to practice his chosen religion.
