Converting someone of Islamic faith to any other faith is punishable by
death.

I know of two Jews in Afghanistan, both businessmen of Jewish Afghani
descent. I don't know about their situation today (in fact, both are
probably in Israel right now for the holidays), but as of the last I
knew, about 2 weeks ago, they had complete freedom of movement and
action. Jews traditionally don't proselytize, while Christians make a
point of it. Christian propaganda in the hands of "aid workers" (read
missionaries?) would most likely be taken as clear evidence of trying to
steal Muslim souls.

No?
