Abdul Rahman Set Free

The Afghani court has dropped charges against Abdul Rahman who had been charged with converting from Islam to Christianity. This is of course good news but something in the linked article dropped me in my tracks. Here's what stunned me:
Some Islamic clerics had called for his execution, saying Rahman would face danger from his countrymen if he were released.
This is either really bad writing by the author of the article or the prime example about why Islam is so backwards. They wanted him to die to save him from being harmed? WTF?
