This is a different kind of blog, this one you will need to do something. This is a call, a reminder that Christians are still jailed and killed for their faith today. We must do everything we can to make this known. http://ow.ly/40jeI
This is Said Musa, he has a family, he is our family, he is a living & breathing human life.
We must pray, cry out that God would hear our pleas for our brother and that His will would be done; weather that is freeing our brother or letting his death be an example of faith for us all.
We must make our brother’s situation known, I know that we all have friends who are not Christians, but this is something that would be their concern too, as it violates freedom of religion globally. Tell your friends. Tweet it, FB it, email it, text it, talk about it.
We must let those who are in power known that this is happening and that it needs to be addressed. Contact your representatives.

Dear –
I am deeply concerned that an Afghan judge has threatened to order the execution of Said Musa within days if he does not re-convert from Christianity back to Islam against his will. Please personally call the Afghan ambassador TODAY and demand that the execution of Said Musa be stopped and that Afghanistan free Said Musa and Shoaib Assadullah Musawi immediately and permit them and their families to depart the country if they wish to.
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the rights to life, liberty, and due process of law are some of our fundamental American values. Please convey to the Afghan ambassador that if the Afghan government does not show basic respect for the right to life, liberty, and freedom of religious choice, many Americans will begin to question whether we should continue to send our own children to fight and die on its behalf or continue to support it financially.
Please ensure that Afghanistan fulfills its obligations as a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that all Afghans are free to practice the religious faith of their choice without fear of prosecution, intimidation, or harm.
Sincerely,
Send to:

(2) Mr. Abdul Hakim Atarud, Political Counselor, Afghan Embassy, [email protected]
Dear –
I am deeply concerned by reports that Christians in Afghanistan have been imprisoned for converting from Islam and are now facing possible execution. I ask that you free Said Musa and Shoaib Assadullah Musawi immediately and permit them and their families to depart the country if they wish to.
In America, all people are free to choose their own religion, to change their religion, and to practice it without fear of harm. Respecting freedom of religion is one of our core American values. If Afghanistan continues imprisoning or even executing people for their religious faith, it will be difficult for Americans to continue justifying sending our soldiers to risk their lives fighting in Afghanistan to support your government, and difficult for us to justify continuing to send billions of dollars in aid every year.
Please ensure that Afghanistan fulfills its obligations as a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that all Afghans are free to practice the religious faith of their choice without fear of prosecution, intimidation, or harm.
Sincerely,
