Sentenced to Die Over a DownloadPosted on Feb 18, 2008Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh, a 23-year-old Afghan student, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy because of an article he downloaded from the Internet. The verdict has aroused outrage around the world and top U.S. and European officials have spoken with the Afghan government. However, some worry that international pressure could back Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the nation’s religious fundamentalists into a corner and therefore ensure that the execution is carried out.

By jbart, February 18 at 4:31 pm # Barbarians? Religious Zealots? I call them backward-thinkingWhy do “acknowledged” governments like this get “acknowledged? Backward barbarians deserve nothing better than the doctrine that they prescribe to. Backward treatment. Allah, indeed. You effin idiots deserve nothing from the “thinking” world. Go “punish” your females for not showing” you “Islamic males” the proper degree of “sufficient” subservience” !! Look in the mirror, forget your religious fantasies, and “join the world”. Your backward religious beliefs and, therefore, your backward thought processes, make you fall somewhere above the monkeys and, definitely behind, thinking human beings. Allah, Akbar !!! My ass.
