<div>Thanks, Art, for keeping us updated on Rahman.</div> <div> </div> <div>I would highly encourage everyone to read "Islam: A Catholic Perspective" by Jim Akin (if you can't find it at your local Catholic store you can order it on the internet. One site is <A href="http://www.catholiccompany.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=2813">http://www.catholiccompany.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=2813</A>). It's a small and inexpensive booklet but packed with information.</div> <div> </div> <div>As the title signifies, it's told from the Catholic perspective. However, Islam is not the "kinder, gentler" belief system a lot of people want to make it out to be. Granted, there are very good Muslims (they live the Christian life even though they probably don't know it) but overall Islam is a brutal belief system.</div> <div> </div> <div>Dianne<BR><BR><B><I>Art Kelly <arthurkelly@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq
