Afghani convert to Christ about to be executed by Muslim governmentFebruary 21, 2011Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx P Said Musa is a former Muslim who converted to Christ about eight years ago. He has been sentenced to die by the Afghan government for the Islamic crime of apostasy. This is one of the truly terrible things about Islam: it has no respect for freedom of religion and conscience, precious values for us in the West. As Congressman Trent Franks and Doug Lamborn wrote last fall, this is a "government that allows the same restrictions on basic human rights that existed under the Taliban." The United States, a Christian nation, has spent enormous treasure and spilled much American blood to provide stability for the people of Afghanistan. It is not too much to expect our government to insist that the Afghan government spare this man's life and grant him and his family asylum in the United States. Musa is the father of six children, one of whom is disabled, and is himself an amputee, having lost a leg to a landmine while serving in the Afghan army. He had been working for the Red Cross/Red Crescent as an adviser to other amputees. While in prison, he has been subjected to mocking, beatings, and sexual abuse because of his faith. In a letter he smuggled to the West, he pleads, "Please, please, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ help me." TAKE ACTION Send an email to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Speaker of the House John Boehner and urge them to pressure the Afghani government to grant Said Musa asylum in the U.S.
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.
