#1 A Muslim guy here in America that I do business with is a very nice guy. He knew I was Christian. I knew he was a devout Muslim. So when the opportunity arose to where there was no one around and as I was about to leave his office, I went out on the limb and said that since he was one of the nicest people I know, I wanted to give him something, a Bible, and a book by my pastor about a Christian subject of interest. I felt it was a huge gamble for I believe many would be offended. Took me two years to bring myself to do that. I wanted to be very sure he would accept that gift graciously.

My hunch was right. He immediately gave me a hug without hesitation and said, "Pray for me, Brother!" and accepted the books.

#2 Why is the word martyr in scare quotes? If these people were killed for their faith, they are martyrs by definition. As opposed to suicide bombers who are called "martyrs", but only by Muslims.
