AFGHANISTAN ESTABLISHES DEATH PENALTY FOR MISSIONARIES
KABUL, JAN. 8, 2001 (ZENIT.org).- From now on, anyone who converts to
Christianity, preaches the gospel, or proselytizes in Afghanistan can
be condemned to death. The decision was decreed by Nohammad Omar,
leader of the Taliban movement, which over the past 4 years has
imposed the "shariah" in virtually the entire Afghan territory. The
"shariah" is Islamic law applied to civil society. The news was
confirmed today by Vatican Radio.
In addition, the measure provides for other punishments; for example,
the proprietors of bookstores selling offensive books or sources for
the propagation of "false beliefs," will be punished by 5 years of
imprisonment. The harsh measures of the Taliban leader are justified
by stating that they defend the country from alleged attempts of
unidentified "enemies" of Islam, both within and without, who seek to
"corrupt Muslims by offering them economic incentives if they convert
to Christianity or Judaism."
During the Special Session of the Synod of Bishops for Asia, Fides
classifies Afghanistan as the only Asian country with absolutely no
structures of the Catholic Church.
