Sore Point

Christians are extremely limited in the ways they can practice their faith in some Islamic countries, notably Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. This has become an increasingly sore point in Europe, where Muslim communities are growing rapidly and demanding rights and respect. From Scotsman.com News - Latest News - U.S. and allies press Afghanistan on Christian convert:

If you are not aware there is an Afghan man who is facing death because he became a Christian.

An Afghan judge said on Sunday a man named Abdur Rahman had been jailed for converting from Islam to Christianity and could face the death penalty if he refused to become a Muslim again. Sharia, or Islamic law, stipulates death for apostasy.

My friend, Statsguy has complete coverage. I just want to make the point that we in our western society are willing to live along side others. We love all inspite of their beliefs. I leave you with my six year old son's memory verse for this week:

"... let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18"

" 18 أَيُّهَا الأَوْلاَدُ الصِّغَارُ، لاَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَحَبَّتُنَا مُجَرَّدَ ادِّعَاءٍ بِالْكَلاَمِ وَاللِّسَانِ، بَلْ تَكُونَ مَحَبَّةً عَمَلِيَّةً حَقّ

ﻝﻭﻻﺍ ﺎﻨﺣﻮﻳ 3:18 "
