So what’s new?
I read in the news how Catholics are killed or maimed or beaten nearly every day around the world.
October 29, 2005, on thier way to school in asia 3 Catholic school girls have their heads cut off by Muslims. The fourth girl is badly maimed. The heads are later found near the Church and school.
Just one episode when I prayed a rosary for those martyrs, Saints, who have died for Our Faith. Lets just say I often pray rosaries for events like this. Just stay up on the world news about Catholic perscution and you’ll be praying the rosary too - for the dead and beaten. More often then you like.
It is sad indeed.

Just remember what Paul was like before he became an apostle.
The books Jesus Freaks 1 and 2 have many stories of former persecutors who were converted later.

Wasn’t Islam initially spread through the Middle East primarily through war? Although initially these wars were defensive in nature they gradually became more offensive and were used as a tool to spread Islam through out the Middle East. Along the way didn’t Muhammad kill innocent people, plunder towns, and pocket the riches (these stories are told in the Qu’ran)? With a religion initially founded and spread through war it is easy to understand why that underlying tone is still in Islam. For anyone to claim that Islam is a religion of peace, acceptance, and love is to deny the very history and founding of Islam.
One might say that Christianity also had it’s fair history of violence also. This is very true. However, Jesus did not condone violence and regularly discouraged violence through out the Scriptures. The violence in Christian history was a reflection of the sinful nature of man rather than “a violent message” of God. In Christianity’s case, it was the action of man in direct contradiction of Christian belief.
In the Islamic case, it is the action of man perpetuating the bloody teachings and history of Islam.
Keep the Faith
P.S. inJesus: You did a great job! Bless you!

Just remember one thing: satan has already been judged and is on his way to hell. He can do as he wishes for now, but God’s people will have the last laugh on judgement day.
