CHRISTIAN RELEASED FROM JAIL

The story notes “A Christian monitoring group reported that there have been new fundamentalist Muslim attacks on Christians in Afghanistan in the wake of the international uproar over the case of Abdul Rahman, who was arrested last month for apostasy for leaving Islam for Christianity 16 years ago.” Later in the story: Compass, a California-based news service that tracks persecution of Christians around the world, reported that two other Afghan Christians had been arrested in recent days, while others had been subjected to beatings and police raids. (Washington Times) Prager looks at the dangers of radical Islam: One is the number of people who believe in it. This is a new phenomenon among organized evils. Far fewer people believed in Nazism or in communism than believe in Islam generally or in authoritarian Islam specifically. Later: But there is yet a second difference that is at least as significant and at least as frightening: Nazis and Communists wanted to live and feared death; Islamic authoritarians love death and loathe life.
