This, from my inbox, a question you can’t help wondering/worrying about:

How long do you think Abdul Rahman will last once he is released from prison? Do you believe simply releasing him into the society, considering the quotes we’ve been reading over the past couple of days, will be safe for him?

Consider, for instance, this, from NYTimes:

KABUL, Afghanistan, March 24 — Preachers used Friday Prayer services to call for the execution of an Afghan Muslim who converted to Christianity, despite growing protests in the West. The conversion of the man, Abdul Rahman, 15 years ago was brought to the attention of the authorities as part of a child custody dispute.
The Bush administration and European governments have strongly protested the case as a violation of religious freedom. But Mr. Rahman has drawn a strong reaction in Afghanistan, too, and for many hardline clerics, there is no greater offense than apostasy.
One speaker, Maulavi Habibullah, told more than a thousand clerics and young people gathered in Kabul: “Afghanistan does not have any obligation under international laws. The prophet says, when somebody changes religion, he must be killed.”
