Michelle Malkin’s piece on this story shows a lot more depth about some of the doctors and their mission. <Link>
There were 10 brutally murdered and among them were 6 doctors. They were accused of the high crime of carrying Bibles and proselytizing. Geraldo delivered the breaking news last night:

The Right Scoop had a good commentary on it as well. I agree with his take, this was not about proselytizing or breaking any laws, it was hate crime/persecution against Christians and Jews.
Right Scoop:
Let me say this up front. This is not about proselytizing and carrying Bibles. This is about a murderous regime that hates Christians and Jews because that is what their religion teaches them. They will not allow Muslims to convert to Christianity or any other religion for that matter because that is what their religion commands them to do. They are no different and share the same intense hatred as Adolf Hitler himself. They want another holocaust – it is what they believe.
I wish that Geraldo had pointed this out himself, as well as the lady on the phone. They chose the route of saying that the people were innocent of these ‘crimes’. Yet I say none of this matters at all. Truth is what matters, and the truth is that these people are following an evil doctrine crafted by Satan himself for the sole purpose of eradicating Christians and Jews. Make no mistake about it – this is a war between Jesus and Satan, and Jesus will be victorious.
As for the possible anger you are feeling right now in your heart, just remember what the Bible says:
“Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.” – Romans 12:19
Until then remember that the missionaries were there to help the Afghan people and share the love of Jesus. They need Jesus too and don’t let the anger that you may be feeling cloud that notion.
