Magdi Allam is was a prominent Egyptian Muslim writer living in Italy. He has made his dutiful Mohammedan journey to Mecca as is required once in a lifetime (I think) for all Mohammedans.
Here is the thing, Allam has been extremely critical of Islamism and the inherent nature of violence in Islam itself. Allam is even pro-Israel due to the brutality of homicidal suicide bombing Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
O yes, did I mention this prominent writer living in Italy converted to Christianity this Easter season and was baptized by Pope Benedict XVI himself.
WOW! Apparently more and more Mohammedans are leaving the so-called religion of peace every year.
Here is a little side bar that really has nothing to do with Magdi Allam’s illumination of the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I was listening to Fox News briefly last night (it may have been the day before; I am fuzzy on the exact time frame). While I was half listening all of sudden a statistic brought me to alertness. Twenty-thousand Mohammedans have converted to Christianity in the last year. Seventy-thousand Mohammedans have converted since the Iraq invasion.
What is different since the Iraq invasion and before?
Well duh! There is a bit more Freedom of Choice in Iraq (In my search for statistics; this is the closest I could find for verification. There are time constraints you know.).
Mohammedans are persecuting native born Iraqi Christians (for years actually). In this Eastern season about a week ago Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was murdered. Just after performing a Mass, he was kidnapped from his Church and shortly there after was found dead in a shallow grave. The Archbishop is representative of 600,000 Chaldean Catholic Christians that are native born Iraqis that have a history in the area since before the forced conversions of Mohammed. (End of side bar)
Bin Laden has accused the Pope of stirring up the Crusades of history’s past against Mohammedanism AND threatened reprisals in Europe for doing so.
Ah if it were only true.
A Vatican spokesman denies the accusation for the Pope. The Vatican to my dismay claims to be leading efforts for dialogue with Mohammedans. If only Pope Benedict XVI would realize that showing up in Mecca for dialogue would result in loosing his head.
It is amazing the effort of Christian leaders from both Protestants and Catholics are willing to live in dhimmitude in the false hope dhimmi oppression will end the violence against the West.
Look at the history of dhimmitude of the past. It is not a pleasant scenario.
