Muslim Style

President Hamid Karzai is concerned about a death sentence handed down to a journalist in Afghanistan accused of insulting Islam, but he will not intervene until the courts have their final say, his spokesman said Tuesday.

What did he do to warrant such a harsh punishment?

The journalist, 23-year-old Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh, was sentenced to death on Jan. 22 by a three-judge panel in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif for distributing a report he printed off the Internet to journalism students at Balkh University.
The article asked why under Islam men can have four wives but women cannot have multiple husbands.

So, he is to be killed for printing off an article he did not write, and this is one of our Muslim "allies"
