Mary Katharine Ham has photos of the rally earlier today in Washington DC to save the life of Abdul Rahman. She quotes Cam Edwards as telling an NBC reporter:

"This is not a political issue. This is about a man in Afghanistan who is going to die because he believes in Jesus Christ...It's a human rights issue...There are political overtones to everything, but that's not why we're out here. That's not why President Bush should act...If y'all turn it inot a political issue--conservatives vs. Bush or conservatives vs. liberals-- then you will have failed to get the message out."

know that CAIR sent out a press release condemning the possible death sentence, but when I emailed Ibrahim Hooper to invite him out to the rally, I never got a response.

I meant what I said earlier. This really shouldn’t be a left vs. right issue. It seems like in almost every instance these days, if a conservative is for something, then a liberal has to be against it (and vice versa). The only exception I can think of lately is the Kelo decision. The Rahman case should be another.

Anybody get Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi's take--or Yale's in general--on Rahman's situation?
