(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Open Doors USA says that Afghanistan is now the most dangerous nation on earth if you are a Christian. It's always been dangerous, but things got worse last August .
Leaving Islam is shameful, so a family will reject one of their own who converts, or may even kill him or her. That's considered justice. Or, since leaving Islam is also considered insane, the believer could be committed to a psychiatric hospital.
Open Doors talked to a man who fled from Afghanistan to another unnamed country, a challenging thing in itself. Believers are either in hiding or leaving. A couple of recorded clips of his own voice explaining what things are now like is here.
One believer describing how it was right after the Taliban took over: "Attacks . . have always been a reality for us. It’s not a matter of if, but when, and when it comes, we are almost never ready to contend with what’s before our eyes. It’s always a terrifying thought—we are afraid—but it is only by the grace and mercy of God that we are able to go on.”
Afghanistan's Taliban leader (below) says executions and amputations of hands are coming back.
