Bush "Troubled" By Afghan Convert's Case.

Yeah right, Mr. President...I'm not buying your sentiments. After all, that's your political puppet government you put into place in Afghanistan.

President Bush said Wednesday that he is "deeply troubled" that an Afghan man is being tried for converting to Christianity.

Abdul Rahman, 41, faces a possible death penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago. He has been charged with rejecting Islam, a crime under this country's Islamic laws. Bush said in a speech that a young democracy is growing in Afghanistan, but he's concerned about the case.

And the GW "Ironic Quote of the Day" goes to:

"We expect them to honor the universal principle of freedom," Bush said. "I'm troubled when I hear, deeply troubled when I hear, the fact that a person who converted away from Islam may be held to account. That's not the universal application of the values that I talked about. I look forward to working with the government of that country to make sure that people are protected in their capacity to worship."

Like you do here in America, Shrub?

How much of that 157 million dollars going to church social initiatives is going to Islamic, Jewish, Mormon, or Wiccan charities in America? What about the religions other than Christianity that are practiced in America?

If I had to pen a number, I would say somewhere between 0 and 0.

Do us all a favor, GW--don't insult our collective intelligence. Thanks.
