[Apologetics] Article by Pat Buchanan on Islam, Christianity, and Democracy

[Dianne Dawson]

Thanks, Art, for keeping us updated on Rahman.
   
  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 http://www.catholiccompany.com/product_detail.cfm?ID=2813).  It's a small and  inexpensive booklet but packed with information.
   
  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.

  This article by Pat Buchanan states in part:

Under Saddam, Christians practiced their faith in
peace and security. But, three years after liberation,
their churches are being bombed, and Christian
families are being threatened with massacres.

What is 'democracy'?

"If I must die, I will die," Abdul Rahman told a human
rights worker. 

Facing execution for converting to Christianity,
Rahman had just been moved from a jail in Kabul, where
his life was in imminent peril, to the notorious
Policharki prison outside Kabul, where 2000 are
incarcerated, including 350 Taliban. 

Rahman is a man of faith and courage, the stuff of
which Christian martyrs have ever been made. And,
thanks to U.S. intervention, he is a free man, though
he will live, if he remains in Afghanistan, in
constant danger of being assassinated or lynched.
