Abdul Rahman Update: Case Dropped Against Afghan Christian

Possible good news for Afghan Christian convert Abdul Rahman:

An Afghan court has dismissed case against a man who converted from Islam to Christianity for lack of evidence, an official said Sunday.

The court, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, had been under intense international pressure to drop the case against Abdul Rahman, who faced a possible death sentence for his public conversion.

Some Islamic clerics had called for his execution, saying Rahman would face danger from his countrymen if he were released.

My Comments:
I'll believe this is over when I see Abdul Rahman walking around as a free man in a non-Islamic country. Even then, some Islamic nutcase mullah is likely to put a fatwah on him so that his life will constantly be in danger like Salman Rushdie's.
