[Mrs. Don-o]

This shows that prayer, publicity and public pressure are starting to make a difference. Musa had requested to be moved to a different jail in order to avoid the regular torture/beatings; this has evidently been carried out as a result of rising international concern. Supporters are voicing cautious hopes that diplomatic pressure can push the Afghan government to release him to join his wife and six children, now in exile in Pakistan.

Sounds like a semi-anarchy there. This can’t be official Afghan policy.

[Persevero]

I am so encouraged to see that his situation is getting some “big name” attention. After reading of the murder of the Bible distributors off the coast of Somalia, it is good to hear some good news.

Lord, hear our prayers, help Said be released safely to his family. Save many through his witness. Amen. Also Lord please heal and protect him from abuse.

[Mrs. Don-o]

SAMPLE LETTER

---

STEP 1: Send to your Member of Congress at https://writerep.house.gov/

Dear Representative -

I am deeply concerned that an Afghan judge has threatened to order the execution of Said Musa within days if he does not re-convert from Christianity back to Islam against his will. Please personally call the Afghan ambassador TODAY and demand that the execution of Said Musa be stopped and that Afghanistan free Said Musa and Shoaib Assadullah Musawi immediately and permit them and their families to depart the country if they wish to.

Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the rights to life, liberty, and due process of law are some of our fundamental American values. Please convey to the Afghan ambassador that if the Afghan government does not show basic respect for the right to life, liberty, and freedom of religious choice, many Americans will begin to question whether we should continue to send our own children to fight and die on its behalf or continue to support it financially.

Please ensure that Afghanistan fulfills its obligations as a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that all Afghans are free to practice the religious faith of their choice without fear of prosecution, intimidation, or harm.

Sincerely,

[Signed}

[the invisib1e hand]

Godspeed.

AS Mark Krikorian eloquently says in The Natl Review:

The Afghan justice ministry’s chief of staff says “They must be sentenced to death to serve as a lesson for others” — and we’re providing his salary and our men are bleeding and dying to protect him from his fellow barbarians in the Taliban.

If this is the nation building we are up to - I want no part of it!

[eleni121]

Yes - we can make a difference esp. in individual cases that we hear about! But most we don't hear about.

We did NOTHING for the 4 million Christians slaughtered in Asia Minor and Thrace by the Turks and we did nothing for the 2 million slaughtered in South Sudan. Dittoes for those behind the Iron Curtain.

I am not hopeful unless we change the moral compass in this nation. Specifically the one that reigns in our capital where it concerns itself with making the world safe for business not faith.

“This shows that prayer, publicity and public pressure are starting to make a difference.”

Absolutely!

[Karliner]

Yes I’ve been prayeing the Lord will open his prison doors and set him free. 50% there i guess.
