"You may remember that, as a result of a comic strip in a Danish newspaper, over 45 people lost their lives, either due to police crackdowns on destructiveness in the name of Islam or directly through mob murder. Muslim hordes burned down 15 Christian churches Saturday in Maiduguri, Nigeria. They also trashed and looted stores owned by Christians. Death toll: 16."



“Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters,” Chima Ezeoke, a local Christian, told the Associated Press. Witnesses reported that the dead included a priest and three children.

I think I finally understand the Muslim definition of religious tolerance.  Here are the rules:

1.  Nobody is allowed to say anything bad about Islam.

2.  Nobody is allowed to insinuate that Moslems are violent people.

3.  If you say anything which insinuates that Moslems are violent people, they are allowed to burn down your churches.

4.  If you wish to respond to rule 3, first see rules 1 and 2.

Excuse the lack of mess (i.e. blog entries), but we're very busy here.  We have a church of a couple of hundred, and a school  of just under 400 with a staff of about 45 and taking time to blog is not a high priority right now.  If you want to know more about our ministry for the Lord, please visit the church or school web sites (www.odentonbaptist.org or www.ocs1.org ) and you can see what we stand for and why we don't have a lot of time to blog.
