That's amazing.
It's scary to think about the dangers people face when converting from other religions, especially in countries where that religion is so prevalent... it's really opened up my eyes.
I don't know about other countries, but here in New Zealand society tends to demand that Christians stay quiet where other faiths are concerned - and points out what it regards as flaws in Christianity. I have heard one person claim Hitler to have been a Christian (which I
cannot believe), am told about the Crusades (which I must admit I know very little about)....
...yet why is this sort of thing not shown or made known in my country? Maybe that's a rhetorical question.
The basis of Christianity (I believe) is love. God is love. God sent his son to
die for us, and in the same way we are meant to love another. In New Zealand there is a subtle society message that says: 'every religion is just as good as each other, they all really say the same thing.' It's not true! Christianity teaches love! Christianity does not murder, or hurt, or take vengeance, right? How can the two religions be at all similar or 'say the same thing?' How is it that there is pressure in NZ (and, I wonder, in other countries, too...?) not to be able to speak out against such crimes?
Hope you don't mind my little rant there. It's just that I suddenly saw things in a different light - and I felt frustrated at the pressure from the world that is so against Christianity - or, at least, active, life-filled, JESUS-filled Christianity. I tried to stay on-topic, though
Those muslim converts who have such courage and strength in Christ to turn to Jesus in spite of such heavy opposition - that's an amazing encouragement, joy and inspiration. May God bless them, keep them, walk closely with them and give them the strength and protection to walk through such dangers unscathed.
