Afghani man converts to Christianity and will possibly face the death penalty. Islamic law, the Sharia, forbids the worship or practice of Christianity among the Islamic people. President Karzia must convince the Judiciary board of Muslim fundamentalist conservatives to consider this decision in light of the current situation as Christianity has become an ally to these people.
