"At the moment we are enjoying the construction of mosques and Islamic centres in the West, so we must be fair" toward Christians in the region and allow them places of worship.

In fact, there is a mosque under construction, not far from where I reside. I never imagined that would ever happen in this community!

Wow, this is good news.

the papal nuncio in the Gulf, Archbishop Paul-Munjed al-Hashem, said on the sidelines of the Doha mass that talks had begun with Riyadh to convince it to become the final Gulf Arab state to allow churches.

"Discussions are underway with Saudi Arabia to allow the construction of churches in the kingdom," he said, adding that the country had between three and four million Christian residents. "We cannot forecast the outcome."

Well, that's interesting. Imagine that. maybe a church in OBL homeland. That should get his knickers in a stitch

Would you? Knowing how these jihadists have no regard for life or person or station, would you?

I don’t know if I would.

I’m not one to say that I would gladly offer myself to martyrdom or never deny Christ.

I know what I am.
