Compromise with Islamists brings one thing and one thing only: death and destruction. Here’s what we’ve established with American money and blood. It’s slightly different from what we demanded from the defeated Germans and Japanese who learned to never go back to their stone-age genocidal ways.

Student will face ‘justice of mob’ if released early

Mr Kambaksh, whose plight was brought to worldwide attention by a campaign in The Independent, must serve 20 years in jail after the country’s Supreme Court upheld his blasphemy conviction without even hearing his defence.

Speaking at Kabul University’s sharia faculty where he is a professor of Islamic law, Mullah Balegh said: “If he isn’t punished, if he’s released for any reason, the jihadis will kill him, the criminals will kill him, the Taliban will kill him, everyone will want to kill him.”

Mullah Balegh, who sits on Afghanistan’s influential Ulemma Council of Islamic Scholars, said Mr Kambaksh had committed a heinous crime against Islam. “If somebody attacks me with a knife, he is a criminal,” he said. “If somebody attacks my religion, is he not a criminal too?”

Mr Kambaksh, 24, was sentenced to death for circulating an article about women’s rights which questioned the Koran. That sentence was commuted to 20 years on appeal and upheld, in secret, by the Supreme Court, even though a key prosecution witness withdrew his testimony.

    I’m not surprised by this. Considering Afghanistan is still in the dark ages; and our feeble response at destroying these medieval maniacs. Islam as such is an all encompassing religion. It controls everything. We have not done the job.

    By the way, I saw on Fox and Friends there are banks in the U.S. that are formed under Sharia Law. Yep, it’s true.
