Afghan faces death penalty for converting to Christianity

This will be a test to see if they update their laws.  I wonder how many old Taliban laws are still laying on the books which have yet to be overturned.

Um, that's not the issue at all. They got a whole new Constitution. The Taliban wasn't even considered the legitimate government by the US or the people now running the Afghan government, so there was never any Taliban laws to repeal, officially.

But like I said, the Taliban was never considered the legitimate government, therefore their laws were never considered valid by the US or the current government. Do you really think that after WWII, France went through the process of repealing all the laws of the Vichy government? Of course they didn't, because the official position then, and the position of France to this day, is that the Vichy government was never valid. All of their actions and laws were simply considered null after their fall. The same is true of all the other puppet regimes the Nazis installed the other countries they invaded. After the Civil War the laws of the Confederacy weren't "repealed" either. I'm also pretty sure that if say, I led a seperatist guerilla war, seized power in Minnesota and passed all sorts of laws doing things like banning suburban development and socializing strip clubs, and then the government launched a counter-offensive that retook Minnesota, they wouldn't bother to repeal the laws passed by my government.

And the government that's based out of the people who fought the Taliban obviously didn't consider them the legitimate government either.

Yes, Iraqi Christians were much better off under Saddam. I really hope they start arming themselves now to fight the evil new government that will force them to pray towards Mecca.
