| Why Must Ex-Muslims Live in Fear -- In America? |
| 2004-09-10 |
| As the world recoils in horror at the massacres of children by Chechen jihadists in Beslan, Russia, security agencies are examining the possibility that such an attack could happen in an American school. And why couldn't it? After all, at a conference held last weekend, security was tight because of death threats from people holding the same ideology as that of the Beslan barbarians: radical Islam. The conference was held in Falls Church, Virginia. That's right: Falls Church, Virginia. Right here in America, converts from Islam to Christianity spoke publicly only under assumed names, for fear of becoming the newest victims of the global jihad. The conference was called the Muslim Background Believers Convention, an evangelical Christian gathering sponsored by groups including the Baptist General Association of Virginia. The converts from Islam, according to a Washington Times report, spoke "only under fictitious names assumed for the occasion." The Times noted that "the convention kept the registration and entrance process under tight security to protect the participants, many of whom say they face death threats or ostracism from their families for leaving the Islamic faith." |

| #6 Take a look at the old Testament (your book) and compare it to ours. Most of your "liberal" tendencies come from part II - thank you very much. You don't have to believe in the divinity of Christ to understand that the spread of Christian principles make the world a better place. Don't be such a sour pus. Your chances of survial (as are ours) are far greater if the Baptists succeed. |

| #5 Liberalhawk, as VAMark points out, it's a valid part of our faith. But those good Baptists don't kill you if you refuse to accept Jesus's salvation and there are no Baptist jihadi terrorists, but they will push New Testament scripture, bowling and pineapple upside down cake on you until you beg for someone's mercy! LOL |

| #4 Sorry, the last thing Jesus said on his previous visit was "try to convert everybody." Not an optional part of the program. I am glad the "convert or die" practices were dropped several hundred years ago, something our Islamic friends would be well advised to emulate while they can. |

| #3 myabe the good baptists and such in Northern Virginia could spend less of their time and money trying to convert Jews? |

| #2 The best thing we could do to bring the barbarians into the 21st century would be to offer them Christianity, instead of Islam. |

| #1 'ostracism from their families for leaving the Islamic faith.' Mama: "Papa, what about our other daughter" Tevya: "I HAVE NO other daughter" |
