The People of Egypt Have Spoken: Mubarak Must Go

I have been watching with amazement at what has been going on in Egypt.

The brave protesters have convinced me. Mubarak must go.

Therefore as a pathetically small measure of support I wish to say with them

Mubarak must go

Seventy Apostates Arrested in Iran

From ASSIST News: Iran: regime hits out at apostasy -- 70 arrested.

It is illegal in Iran to share Christianity with Muslims or preach the gospel in Farsi, the Persian language. It is also illegal for a Muslim to reject Islam (apostasy). Farsi-speaking Iranian Muslim converts to Christianity must worship therefore in illegal 'underground' fellowships. In September 2010 an appeals court upheld a death sentence against Pastor Youcef Nadrkhani, convicted of apostasy. The sentence is being delayed to give intelligence agents more time to try to coerce Pastor Nadrkhani to renounce Christ and return to Islam. His wife has been sentenced to life imprisonment. They have two small children. In a massive crack-down some 70 believers have been arrested by the authorities since Christmas Day. Most are young converts from Islam. They are being interrogated and coerced. Please pray.

The Shooting Of Gabrielle Giffords

I have just heard that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has been shot. Let me state here my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

This is a dreadful tragedy.

It is sadly no surprise to me that she was Democratic. Although no details of the perpetrator have yet been made public it must be stated that there has been a disturbing trend of acts of violence being committed by right wing individuals, such as Byron Williams who got into a shoot out with police while, alledgedly, driving to the Tides Foundation to terrorize them, alledgedly.

May justice be done.
