#1 What? not real abuse like putting women panties over his head or dressing him up in halloween customes? I guess, the saudis are going to have to take lessons on how to reeeaaally torture those murderous bible-carriers from US soldiers.

#2 If he was "teaching the Bible in his home", then that means someone was "learning". I wonder if his classes were attended by Muslims eager to become apostates, or just other fellow Christians.

OâConnor took out his Saudi identity card, proving that he was a Christian.

Identity cards with your religious denomination on it. Hmmm, the Nazis gave that one a try some time ago (the Saudis being less showy about it I guess).

.com, did you have one of these cards as well?

#3 "At least two of his cellmates have come to faith in Christ during his confinement"

And to think he did it with mere words and living by example. Didnt need religious police to beat people into conversion under the trheat of death.

Thats what really scares the crap out of the Wahabbis - their brand of Islam loses every time when confronted with true Christian faith if ther are not guns and thugs to enforce Islam submission.

#5 I'm sure we will hear all about this on CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/BBC/etc.....

Why I bet the morning news show '~~Good Morning~~ We Hate America' is having a big broadcast about it now...

Hmm... perhaps as soon as they can figure out how to blame Bush for it eh?

#6 âThe charges against him are spreading Christianity, plus liquor,â

Won't these "alk runners" ever learn?

#7 This headline is misleading. It's not "torture" unless pictures are taken while pointing at genitals.

#8 Rafael - The ID issued is actually a little brown "book" like a passport of about 8 pages called the Iqama (e'gahmah)... and, since everything is backasswards there and they read right to left, the Iqama reads back to front. No surprise, eh?

#9 Where's the link? I will assume this is true, even though an "Indian" named O'Connor seems a bit, umm, suspicious.

Still, kudos to O'Connor for heeding the Call on his life. He merely becomes one of a very long line of Christians stretching back 19 centuries who resolved to witness harder when they were in prison.

Christianity is a religion that calls expressly on a man's capacity to freely believe. A forced conversion is no conversion at all, and it is a perversion of Christianity, if not a heresy, to hold and teach otherwise.

I may have been a teen when I read "Merchant of Venice", and knew less than I know now, but even then I winced and wondered what good it would have done when I read Antonio's demand that Shylock be baptized as a Christian to atone for the latter's attempt on the former's life.

#10 Ah. THERE'S the link. The window I was in apparently removed the link. All's well.

#11 The House of Saud proves once again they are the enemy behind the mask.

#12 screw muslims and every leftie, commie big bag of wind who cries about panties on a head or a naked pryimad.....true or not (o'connor does strike me as odd since the guy is supposed to be indian) it does touch on a subject not even mentioned in the western press..that is the outright hatred mulsims have for non-believers...

no matter what we do diplomatically/militarly does not matter - we are non-believers..

religion of peace....screw them
