Read Replies (1) of 14544 One-legged Afghan Red Cross worker set to be hanged after converting to Christianity By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 5:45 PM on 6th February 2011 ? An Afghan physiotherapist will be executed within three days for converting to Christianity. Said Musa, 45, has been held for eight months in a Kabul prison were he claims he has been tortured and sexually abused by inmates and guards. Mr Musa, who lost his left leg in a landmine explosion in the 1990s, has worked for the Red Cross for 15 years and helps to treat fellow amputees. ? Execution: Christians pray during a mass at a church in Kabul (file picture). Said Musa is facing execution unless he converts back to Islam He was arrested in May last year as he attempted to seek asylum at the German embassy following a crackdown on Christians within Afghanistan. He claims he was visited by a judge who told him he would be hanged within days unless he converted back to Islam. But he remains defiant and said he would be willing to die for his faith. He told the Sunday Times: 'My body is theirs to do what they want with. 'Only God can decide if my spirit goes to hell.' Defence lawyers have refused to represent him, while others have dropped the case after receiving death threats. Mr Musa was arrested after a TV station showed western men baptising Afghans during secret ceremonies.

A strong cooling trend isn't a good thing so this isn't a point that necessarily helps the anti-industrial argument: We were in a strong cooling period right up until the industrial age went into full throttle ----------------------------------------------------- and then temps and CO2 concentrations began to rise significantly But we don't know that they're related, much less that its the CO2 thats driving the temperature. Past cooling trends (like the little ice age we're recovering from now) have all ended without human industrial civilization to make it happen. ----------------------------------------------------- Also those CO2 measurements may not be accurate. The chart tejek posted had measurements from only two stations grafted together. Looking at historic measurements from other places over the past couple centuries shows wildly different measurements of atmospheric CO2: anenglishmanscastle.com biomind.de climatephysics.com
