Hey everyone,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kinda a news day… not about me.. just in general.. and random thoughts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Islam.  What comes to mind?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Muslims.  What comes to mind?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think well about them, despite the media’s coverage of the war and of burning the American flag and this and that.. I think about peaceful people.  Abdur-Rahim who use to play for the Trail Blazers once had a documentary on him about how his day went.  Truly peaceful people, just wanting freedom of religion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was a little surprised today when I was surfing around on CNN.com and read some things.  Not over the fact that they don’t want Christians around.. I’ve known that for a long time..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From the Article: “Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die,” cleric Abdul Raoulf told The Associated Press. Raoulf has long been considered a moderate and was often at odds with the Taliban, which jailed him three times before the hard-line group’s ouster in 2001.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How crazy eh?  I think so.. I thought those people who said that were the crazy ones, the ones who were extreme in what they said, but the article says he is a moderate.  It is apart of the Islamic law.  It isn’t that I necessarily didn’t know about this, but it is good to refresh your memory and keep it in mind.<\/p>\n

This really isn’t an update post, more something just to think about – pray about.. and to know of.  My heart goes out to those people, my prayers are sent for them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.  Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony.  My soul is in anguish.  How long, O Lord, how long?  Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.  No one remembers you when he is dead.  Who praises you from the grave?  I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.  My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.  Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.  The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.”  Psalm 6:1-9 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Take care, God Bless,<\/p>\n
