WASHINGTON – When Saeed and Nasser Salame, Arab brothers and residents of Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority, converted from Islam to Christianity, they didn't know it would cost them their homes, their friends – possibly even their lives.

Nasser Salam was an active member of Fatah, Arafat's own party, when he converted. For this "crime" of conscience, he was imprisoned and tortured, according to a French Christian group and the Religious Freedom Council.

The brothers decided their only hope was to escape to Israel – and then, perhaps, to France or some other Western nation where they could practice their new faith freely.

With one of them facing a death sentence, they escaped from a Palestinian Authority jail and made it to Israel.

This sort of thing is commonplace in the muslim world. It is clearly demanded by the Koran that any muslim that converts to another religion must be put to death. So, how would YOU convert them?

So, how would YOU convert them?

Probably the same way these two gentleman -- and thousands of other former Muslims have been won to Christ -- by consistent, low-key, loving, one-on-one sharing the Gospel in a context of trust gained via friendship over time.
