Afghan President Hamid Karzai is leading efforts to resolve the issue of a man facing execution for converting to Christianity.

A meeting is on in Kabul to discuss the fate of Abdul Rahman who "could be released soon" officials say.

Mr Rahman is on trial charged with rejecting Islam. He could be executed under Sharia law unless he reconverts.

The emergency meeting was called after growing international pressure on Afghanistan about the trial.

"For the sake of the national interest of 25 million Afghans, the president is trying to solve the issue," an Afghan official told the BBC.

Several countries with troops in Afghanistan have expressed their concern on the issue.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said on Friday: "This is appalling. When I saw the report about this I felt sick, literally."

On Thursday, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice phoned Afghan President Hamid Karzai seeking a "favourable resolution" to the case.

I personally believed that is the correct interpretation. Never mind, leave him,
at least we know that he's a kafir rather than a MUNAFIQUN. As the latter is worst than the kafirs. They destroy Islam from the inside.

BEHOLD ! HELLFIRE IS WAITING TO DEVOUR THEM.......:brother:
