“If that isn’t a poke in the eye with a sharp stick to all the islamonazis!”

Sad to say that the conversion rate of Christian to Muslim is many times higher than the other way around.

“Are there any converts from Islam that are martyrs?”

Many. You can google for the details.

“Magdi Allam is frequently on Italian television (the RAI), writes frequently in the most important paper, the Corriere della Sera, and furthermore, was baptised by the Pope himself, which puts the Vatican squarely front and center. If anyone still needed proof that Benedict has got Islam’s number, whatever little pretend pieties about Interfaith-Healing may come out of the Vatican, this is surely it.” - Hugh Fitzgerald at jihadwatch (posted at 7:58 PM today).

Thank you and God bless you Mr. Allam, but it would be wise to get your personal affairs in order NOW.

An Egyptian-born, non-practicing Muslim who is married to a Catholic, Magdi Allam infuriated some Muslims with his books and columns in the newspaper Corriere della Sera newspaper, where he is a deputy editor. He titled one book “Long Live Israel.”

Oh boy...

Are there any converts from Islam that are martyrs?

There will be many more in the next few days, as the Muzis take revenge first on local converts in Malaysia, Africa, and the Middle East. Of course, this has been happening regularly for several years already (the rate will increase), but the MSM could care less about reporting it on page one, never mind with any sense of outrage.

If you guys want to see some perversity, go the the WashPost website and click on their Faith section...they have Easter “testimonies” from Melissa Etheridge and some retired Episcopalian Bishop.

Etheridge mocks Easter, Christ...but she believes in the resurrection of the Sun...the good Bishop denies Jesus’ miracles, resurrection and Divinity...a new all time low for the ScumPost.

Spong - Episcopal Diocese of Newark...

I hear the ex-gay-Guv of NJ, Jim McGreevey, is studying to become an Episcopal priest. We’ll probably be treated to his view of theology next Easter.

Spong wraps up evil in the cotton wool of concern for people. In putting poeple first he relegates God to last or to irrelelvance and non-exitance. In his unbelief he attacks the fundamentals of Christianity and in doing so removes God from His throne and puts himself firmly in God’s place. He indeed is a wolf in a shepherds clothing.

Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday night. The mother of all liturgies. Easter begins midway through with the Gloria and first Resurrection reading from the Epistle then the Gospel. Catechumens and converts are received into the Church at this Liturgy.
