AN Afghan man working for the Red Cross said he will be executed unless he converts back to Islam.
Said Musa was detained eight months ago and has been held since then in a Kabul prison, where he said in an interview with The (London) Sunday Times he has been tortured and sexually abused.
Musa, who lost a leg to a land mine in the 1990s and works as a physiotherapist treating fellow amputees, said he was visited by a judge who told him he would be hanged within days unless he reconverted to Islam.
Defence lawyers have refused to represent him unless he reconverts, while others have dropped his case after being threatened.
But Musa said he will abide by his Christian faith, even if he had to die for it.
"My body is theirs to do what they want with. Only God can decide if my spirit goes to hell," he said.

Dude, seriously, just pretend to convert back to Islam for long enough to save your life and blow that Popsicle stand. If Jesus doesn't give you some leeway even though you're being tortured and stuff, then he's a jerk and maybe you're better off in Tartarus.edit on 7-2-2011 by gnosticquasar because: (no reason given)

Its Impossible to pretend.
Imagine Christianity if Leviticus was still obeyed.

Sheesh, I like how they name the article "to be killed for being christian". Under the strict enforcement of sharia, it is apostasy that would warrant his death, irregardless of whatever the man's new faith is. Seems like an attempt to stir up more Christian pity, it's sickening on every side of organized religion.
This is just what happens when you let crazy people think they are undertaking a divine task, transcending all reality.
