The Outline- Michael- Taliban Houston- Specific Incidents

I am Houston and I will be researching mainly specific incidents in which Christians were persecuted wrongfully, and Michael will be researching the Taliban, and how they rose to power, when they rose to power, and why they hate Christians, among other things.

The big story that the media picked up was the story of Abdul Rahman. Rahman was a Christian convert who's family "ratted him out" to the Afghan Government. Rahman was charged breaking Sharia Law, by converting from Islam and reading the Bible to his two year old children. British and American agencies and media picked up on the story, saving Rahman from the Death Penalty.

Hashim Kabar (Alias, not his real name) is another Christian Convert that lives a dangerous life. Unlike Rahman, Kabar has been keeping his faith very secretive. He hides his Bible everyday, and uses codewords and phrases when he organizes Church Meetings with his fellow converts. He will text "Tee at my place, 5 o'clock" to his fellow converts to indicate Church at Five. At the Church meetings, it is often too risky to bring a Bible, because if the Bible is found, everyone at the service is liable to be executed or thrown in jail. It is much safer for Kabar to memorize his prayers, which he does.

Michael: We are going to make a power point. We will get together one day and work on the power point together. So I will enter some of the information and he will enter some of the information. We will both work on the design of it as well. I will enter the information about the history, like when the Taliban and other terrorist groups came to power. After they did come to power, why are they against Christians? Why do they hate them even though the Muslim religion is fine with it? And what Violent Jihad means compared to Jihad and how it comes into effect. Then how some of the government is against it to. Houston will enter the specifics. So when people have been killed for being Christian in the present. How many are there left and how many have been killed. For example he could talk about how a man’s family reported him to the government for reading the Bible to a two year old child.
