Here is an excerpt of an article that is just for the defenders of political correctness....
" In Afghanistan, the case caused pressure as well. Its constitution protects freedom of religion and human rights, but it also says that Islam is the law of the land. Many Afghan clerics believe that means any Muslim who converts to another religion should face the death penalty, and many Afghans agree. And the judicial system is run mostly by conservative clerics.
But the more moderate Afghan leadership worked behind the scenes for Rahman's safe release -- under the excuse that Rahman is mentally ill, as his family claims. For a while, at least, this will mean Rahman has to leave Afghanistan, largely for his safety.
It's still not clear how Afghanistan will react to Rahman's release. Many clerics have called for his death, as have average Afghans. Many are waiting to see what will happen next -- and what happens this week when clerics, incredibly influential here, lead Friday prayers.
"This person should be hanged," said Humayun Hashimi, 32, a tailor. "He has desecrated Islam. That is what our imam said in our mosque."
At a small protest Monday in the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif, hundreds of religious students and several clerics called for Rahman's death and shouted, "Death to America!" But the protest was peaceful, officials said. Violent protests erupted twice in Afghanistan in the past year over religious issues -- over the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad and over a Newsweek report, later retracted, that said the Koran had been dunked in a toilet."
This is what it's like when a dangerous cult controls the majority of a country's populace. This is the face of Islam and this is the way the clerics of Islam want it. You wonder why the crusades happened? The medevial culture in Europe knew exactly what it's enemies were like. In place of that we see impotent governments bound by political correctness and the idea that compromise will bring peace.

Can you substantiate this statement?
The Crusaders (Roman Catholics) are also known to have killed Jews, Orthodox and in the 4th Crusade at least, fellow Roman Catholics. Begs the question - did they really know what their enemies were like, indeed, did they even know who their enemies were?
