we offer 14.2 billion to the afghan government when they make decisions like this?

Kabul, Afghanistan -- Afghan lawmakers are praising a death sentence handed down to a journalist for insulting Islam.

The 23-year-old was given the death penalty last week by a three-judge panel for distributing a report he printed off the Internet to journalism students at a university in northern Afghanistan.

The article asked why men can have four wives, but women cannot have multiple husbands.

The judges ruled the article humiliated Islam.

A spokesman for the country's upper house of parliament said it is condemning what it considers "international interference" to have the sentence annulled.

The journalist is appealing the decision. President Hamid Karzai will have the final say.

WOW, that is goin to the extreme. Pep have to understand that when u insult Islam, ur insulted Allah (all mighty God) and pep that are very religious take offense in that (such as Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other islamic countries)
Islam has its reasons on y men can have 4 wives
1. To save woman from poverty
2. To help a widowed woman raise her children, if she is not capable
3. To prevent a woman in becoming a prostitute
etc.... (too many to list)

U also need to understand that Afghanistan has been in war for the majority of its existance, growing up and even now their form of government is what is written in the Holy Quran.
Their education system is very poor and they don't know where to turn to. The Holy Quran has all the answer yes, but when u get too deep and become a fundamentalist than ur just pulling shit from ur ass and not ur not a muslim
What this young man did was get another opinion about Islam, and the judges believed it was insulting them and God.
They should have rather sat down wit the young gentleman and talked to him and explained why women cannot have multiple husbands.
U need to rem tis is a 3rd world country that needs YEARS of rebuilding
