"Cut Off His Head!" **UPDATED--BREAKING NEWS**

**Here's an update from CNN**

We need to continue to pray for Abdul Rahman, our brother in Christ in Afghanistan, as the clerics of what George Bush calls, "that Noble religion of Islam" clamor for his execution. Western pressure has only strengthened the resolve of the Islamic court to make an example of him. Listen to this peace-loving, tender hearted statement from a leading Afghan Islamic death enthusiast:

"He is not crazy. He went in front of the media and confessed to being a Christian," said Hamidullah, chief cleric at Haji Yacob Mosque. "The government is scared of the international community. But the people will kill him if he is freed."
Raoulf, who is a member of the country's main Islamic organization, the Afghan Ulama Council, concurred. "The government is playing games. The people will not be fooled."

"Cut off his head!" he exclaimed, sitting in a courtyard outside Herati Mosque. "We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there's nothing left."

"Cut off his head!"? "Pull him into pieces"? Before President Bush accepts any more copies of the Koran for the White House library, maybe he should revisit this "noble religion" thing again. They don't call it the Sword of Islam for nothing.
