Blasphemy accused sentenced to death in Afghanistan

[Ameen]

MAZAR-I-SHARIF: A court in Afghanistan has sentenced a local journalist to death for blasphemy, an official and family members said Wednesday.

Perwiz Kambakhsh, 23, was arrested on October 27 for allegedly distributing material he downloaded from the Internet and deemed offensive to Islam among fellow students at northern Balkh University.

\"Based on the crimes Perwiz Kambakhsh committed, the primary court yesterday sentenced him to the most serious punishment which is the death penalty,\" Balkh province deputy attorney general Hafizullah Khaliqyar told foreign news agency.

Khaliqyar had threatened Monday to arrest journalists who \"support\" Kambakhsh at a media briefing where officials defended the arrest of the reporter.

more proof of the "insecurity" of islam and the "backward behaviours and mentalities" of those shackled by it, with its deceit and depravity

poor man........as if its really such a crime to either question or criticise a "belief system"

its all about mind control by fear, cruelty and violence......and here was a real man whom the "slaves" couldnt cope with

- The court also threatened to arrest any reporters who protested against Kambakhsh's sentence.

Also the journalist even has been not given the right to defend himself.

What a stupid religion and the stupid courts we have here!

and doesnt this speak absolute VOLUMES about islam and its insecurity and its need to even arrest reporters whom would report on facts.....!!!

but this is islam......mind numbingly "desperate" to continue to shackle the masses of those indoctrinated by the deceit and hoax - and as their imams say, the more "simple minded are just easier to indoctrinate" - and my my, how we see it!!

however - its crumbling!!! and after 1400 years of horrific harm to innocent human beings whom never ever had a choice but to be muslim, NOT BEFORE TIME

Isn't there anything we can do to help this man. Can't we bring this to the attention of the Human Rights commission.

I think we'd be better off spending our time at the internet by mobilising forces to help real people in trouble, like this gentleman, rather than spen all our time here debating and discussing with muslims.

If there is anything that I can do, anyone I can write to, I am willing to do that. i can also make a small donation to fund any project you guys can come up with to set up any sort of committe to intervene in cases like this.

I agree.....the "civilised" world could help by bringing this to the attention of the whole world - to EXPOSE what islam does and causes

what can we do???

remember how the Saudis backed down with pressure about the rape victim, and in the African country where the class's schoolchildren named their teddy bear.....(10,000 muslim males (whom normally would be screwing their multiple wives and NOT providing for their children) were marching for the death and blood of the teacher) eventually let her out of "imprisonment"

muslims worldwide are ashamed, and rightly so.........islam and such backward beliefs and behaviours are just a cruel sick joke, harming countless millions of victims (as has been the case for 1400 years)

sadly, little could be done for the muslim schoolgirls sent to their deaths in a burning building and all because they had "faces" though......muslims could have prevented that, but instead, CAUSED it due to islam and its backward beliefs. Have any of them or islam itself been put on trial for wilful MURDER???

I saw in a documentary that Afghanistan's judicial system is a complete joke, full of cheauvinistic pricks that do not obey the new laws set forth but rather revert back to Taliban times. Afghanistan just made a huge a leap backwards on the freedom scale on this one. Sick perverted pigs those police officers and judges are.
