Afghan’s Taliban: Death to Muslim converts to Christ
Afghanistan’s Taliban government is calling for the deaths of people who leave Islam, including women and children.
Christians there have received threatening letters since they are considered “apostates” from Islam.
Luke, International Christian Concern’s longtime partner in Afghanistan, said Christians are going missing. They believe the Taliban is kidnapping them and then torturing and killing them.
LUKE: “The nature of the persecution that [the] Taliban would bring upon the Christians in Afghanistan is not going to be a court. It’s not going to be on media. It’s not going to be similar to some other countries in the Middle East that would have the publicity. That will be more like an assassination, torture, and get rid of them.”
China, Russia, France and U.S.: “Nuclear war must never be fought”
In a rare joint statement, China, Russia, Britain, the United States, and France agreed that it was their responsibility to avoid war between the nuclear states.
As the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, the countries said, “We affirm that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”
Meanwhile, America’s relationships with China and Russia have fallen to a low point.
