"I Was Blind But Now I Can See," tells the story of a young Christian who converts to Islam and becomes disillusioned.


Another tale of the religion of peace



Muslims clash with police outside Egyptian church; 1 dead, 90 wounded : AP


Demonstrators gather at a Coptic Christian church Friday to denounce a play deemed offensive to Islam.


AXALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) -- One person died and more than 90 were injured as thousands of Muslims rioted outside a Coptic Christian church Friday to denounce a play deemed offensive to Islam. Police responded by beating protesters and firing tear gas into the crowd, officials said.



Stories like this lead one to conclude that Islam isn't so much a way to worship God, but a way to channel violence. It's almost like a demonstration of how to gather and deploy a mob.


The 20th century's version of Islamic fanaticism nearly destroyed Egypt's Coptic Church. I doubt that this Church will see the end of the 21th century.
