Obama is strangely silent on the apostasy case I posted on here. As you know, apostasy (conversion out of Islam) is punishable by death in Islamic law. In a similar case back in 2006, Abdul Rahman was spared the penalty of death and granted asylum in Italy after the Bush administration intervened. President Bush and others had insisted Afghanistan protect personal beliefs.
American blood and treasure in Afghanistan .......... for what?
Where is President Obama? His silence is deafening and dangerous. Silence is complicity.
In October a letter delivered by an unnamed Westerner and addressed to “the international Church of the world and to the President Brother [Barack] Obama” found its way to the U.S. and Europe from an Afghan prison. The writer, Sayed Mossa, described being imprisoned for his Christian faith when a co-worker gave him over to Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security, often called “the secret police,” back in late May. In spite of Mossa’s disability as an amputee, Afghan judicial officials refused to bat an eye at the humiliation he endured in the hands of his fellow prisoners. Beatings, sleep-deprivation and sexual abuse were all a part of the nightmare that unfolded after his arrest. (more at OWIW)

A prison epistle sheds light on otherwise unknown Christians suffering in secret cell
In October Sayed Mossa handed a letter to a Westerner who came to visit him several times in jail in Afghanistan. He also asked the visitor not to come back, fearing that any misstep could lead to his death.
The letter, a copy of which WORLD received in late October, begins with a plea "to the international church of the world and to the President Brother [Barack] Obama and to the heads of ISAF force in Afghanistan." It describes his imprisonment since late May "due to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, saviour of the world." It also describes daily beatings and torture: "They did sexual things with me, beat me by wood, by hands, by legs, mocked me ("he's Jesus Christ"), [spit] on me. No body let me for sleep night and day." He also has received death threats.
