They're calling for jihad now? As poster Shinolite noted here not long ago, What have we been having up to now? The Ice Capades?
Note the openly totalitarian and coercive nature of the statement.
From AFP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
KANDAHAR: The fundamentalist Taliban on Thursday condemned the release of an Afghan who had faced execution for converting to Christianity, calling for jihad against the "enemies of Islam"...."Apostate Abdul Rahman's release makes it clear that Afghanistan's judiciary is not independent and its decisions are in the hands of foreigners," Taliban spokesman Mohammed Hanif told AFP, reading a statement by the hardliners.
"There are no longer judges or mullahs in Kabul -- they are all sell-outs who cheat the nation under the name of the Islamic judiciary. They should have resigned," the statement said....
The Taliban, notorious for its harsh implementation of Sharia that included stoning adulterers to death, said the case was created by foreign nations to undermine the authority of Islam.
It was engineered to "assure other recalcitrants that they are no longer in danger and no one in Islam can punish them."
"The Afghan nation will not be deceived with such schemes and inshallah (God willing) such plots will be neutralised," the statement said.
"We condemn this crime of the puppet administration. We ask our Muslim brothers to take their position against this offence by the enemies of Islam and to act, based on their responsibility to their religion and God, and to start jihad against Karzai's administration," it said.
The Mob speaks. Threats, intimidation and murder in the name of God and the more, the louder the more pious hey think they become. Allah, a god who these arrogant thugs dictate is in need of protection by them from perceived slights of other men. Allah they are stealing your thunder! There must be something wrong with omnipotence today! Allah you need to send a sign of who's really the boss or get some therapy. How more f****d-up can you be.
Islam humiliates religious freedom of Christians and human rights of Muslims. It’s time for change.
Good article on the death threats or religious converters. The author states that (9:74) may be that which calls for death to converters to Christianity, however it states that Allah will make that punishment, it does not give it to man to make it. So of course sharia becomes the word of allah.

Let's have a holy war on them!
"It's not the economy, stupid....it's the religion!"
I have an interesting picture taken in Kabul once the Americans took the city - this barber said he was never so busy. There was an exodus of people coming in to get their beards shaven off.
Good luck with the Taliban uprising.
Do we need any more proof that there is no difference between Islam and Islamo-fascism?
None whatever.
Not I. Let's pull out of that ratbin of a country and let them stew in their own vile juices.
