Afghanistan is hopeless

I really try to believe in the best in people. I think that most people want to live in peace, to learn, raise their children, and to be safe and comfortable. Afghanistan has some amazing people. They have been through hell. The Taliban was finally toppled and they have a chance to make themselves a nation to be proud of.

Then shit like this happens. From CNN today.

Senior Muslim clerics are demanding that an Afghan man on trial for converting from Islam to Christianity be executed, warning that if the government caves in to Western pressure and frees him, they will incite people to "pull him into pieces."

And this from the same article:

But Said Mirhossain Nasri, the top cleric at Hossainia Mosque, one of the largest Shiite places of worship in Kabul, said Rahman must not be allowed to leave the country.

"If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can, too," he said. "We must set an example. ... He must be hanged."

The clerics said they were angry with the United States and other countries for pushing for Rahman's freedom.

"We are a small country and we welcome the help the outside world is giving us. But please don't interfere in this issue," Nasri said. "We are Muslims and these are our beliefs. This is much more important to us than all the aid the world has given us."

This is pure BS. We didn't fight the Taliban just to let idiots like these clerics run the place. As harsh as it may sound, I think the best thing to do this point is round up all these clerics who are demanding the death penalty for Rahman, a convert from Islam. Then hang them all for incitement of violence and hatred. That might get them to shut their stupid traps.

Either that,or build a wall around Afganistan and let them live in their little Islamic "paradise". See how wonderful that is.

I am so sick and tired of their shit. They have really worn out my sympathy. Seriously, it is time to stop pussy footing around trying to be sensative to their special culture and instead start kicking ass and taking names.

Then any Iman/Cleric stupid enough to start spouting this shit will get given an express ticket to go meet prophet Muhammand in the afterlife. I can only hope that Muhammand will then subsequently kick their sorry asses for all time for being such dumb fucks.
