      This is one of those stories that leaves me feeling torn.

      On the one hand, I believe in respecting laws and borders. Nations have the right and the duty to manage immigration in an orderly way. But on the other hand, this man **c**onverted to Christianity and may now face death if sent back to Afghanistan.

      That’s not a policy question, that’s a matter of basic justice and Christian responsibility. Apostasy under the Taliban is not just “risk”, it’s a death sentence.

      The fact that he had lived and worked for years in Sweden, and was literally days away from being able to stay in Germany legally, makes this feel not just cold, but cruel.

      And the way it was done, waiting outside a church, watching from a car, is deeply unsettling. It shows how fragile even church asylum has become.

      This man deserves protection. Full stop.

      Church cannot grant asylums. They do not have special powers.

      They are just another organization operating within the country.
      So he did not have asylum, he was in Germany illegally.

      This is an issue for Sweden.

      I don’t care if this gets downvoted:

      This man is likely going to be executed by the Taliban. If you think what happen there was right, than you think it’s okay so send this man to his death. He did nothing wrong, worked as a nurse even. And you think it’s okay to send him to be brutally executed.

      In America: people are mass rioting over deportations of well integrated illegal immigrants and even actual criminals like Abrego Garcia because he was deported to a dangerous prison.

      In Europe: we justify a deportation of a man who worked as a nurse, converted from Islam to Christianity, lived here for 10 years. For no other reason that i can see other than that he is an Afghan. What do you call that?

      The Taliban are a barbaric and despicable entity. I feel terribly bad for innocent Afghans, especially women and religious minotities. However, if most Afghan people don’t want the Taliban to be in power, then they should have fought harder to keep them out. They had an opportunity before 2021 with Western military assistance to get rid of the Taliban or make it almost impossible for them to reconquer Afghanistan. However, instead their leader fled, the local resistance capitulated and they allowed the Taliban to waltz back into Kabul. Europe can’t afford to take in every potential refugee from Afghanistan, its just not viable.

      Poorly written article. He clearly does not have legal grounds to stay in Germany but does he still have legal grounds to stay in Sweden and if not then why?

      There was a case in 1991 where a couple of churches in copenhagen were “occupied” (it’s not like the church objected). It led to a lot of public pressure and most ended up getting asylum – which they clearly shouldn’t have gotten. The church should keep out of politics.

      In 1991, a group of Palestinian asylum seekers occupied Enghave Church and Blågårds Church in Copenhagen as a protest to gain residency in Denmark. As a result of negotiations, 321 individuals were granted residence permits.

      It later emerged that 312 of them had travelled back and forth between Denmark, Lebanon, and Syria during 1990 and 1991 — raising doubts about the legitimacy of their asylum claims.

      A 2003 report showed that 42% had been convicted of criminal offenses, and 74% were receiving some form of public welfare. By 2009, the share with criminal convictions had increased to 56%.
