Whatever the political impact, if the clerics or the government or the mob kill Abdul Rahman, there will be two definite consequences. 1) Abdul Rahman will be with God in heaven, having paid the price of the Apostles and countless other martyrs. 2) many others will see Christianity in a more serious light. Here's a guy who will die for his faith. The clerics really don't want that. If they do then they want to kill off their religion. There is an old story of a Romania pastor who was arrested by the secret police. His words say it much better than I could: “I told the interrogator, ‘You should know your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying,’” Tson said. “‘Now here is how it works, sir: You know that my sermons are on tape all over the country. When you shoot me or crush me, whichever way you choose, [you] only sprinkle my sermons with my blood. Everybody who has a tape of one of my sermons will pick it up and say, ‘I had better listen again. This man died for what he preached.’ Sir, my sermons will speak 10 times louder after you kill me and because you kill me. In fact, I will conquer this country for God because you killed me. Go on and do it.’ “Dying for the Lord is not an accident. It’s not a tragedy. It’s part of the job. It’s part of the ministry. And it’s the greatest way of preaching.” If anyone is interested, there is more on the remarkable Josef Tson here: http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=18713 Dying for one's faith is what they do, but they kill others in the process. That is barbaric. Dying for one's faith and doing it with a spirit of forgiveness, like Stephen did in the story in Acts, well now that's pretty divine. And another thing, where was all this concern for the killing of Christians when that happens all over the world all the time? See here: http://www.persecution.org/newsite/country_info.php?PHPSESSID=256e2c7200511930e16a9428ec222f65 I'm off the soapbox, who's next? Fellas, can I make a tiny observation?
