I agree with your statement. There is a great article with detailed accounts of Magdi Allam’s conversion story posted at the Asiatimes (www.atimes.com) front page article from 26 March, 2008. One quote from that article will suffice:
“The miracle of the Resurrection of Christ has reverberated through my soul, liberating if from the darkness of a tendency where hate and intorance in before the “other”, condemning it uncritically as an “enemy”, and ascending to love and respect for one’s “neighbor”, who is always and in any case a person; thus my mind has been released from the obscurantism of an idelogy which legitimizes lying and dissumulation, the violent death that leads to homicide and suicide, blind submission to tyranny—permitting me to adhere to the authentic religion of truth, of life, and freedom. Upon my first Easter as a Christian I have not only discovered Jesus, but I have discovered for the first time the ture and only God, which is the God of Faith and the God of Reason”
Now, does anyone think that the secularlist left-wing media is going to quote a statement like that. Furthermore, it seems both Pope John Paul II’s encyclical “Faith and Reason”, which is a philosophical encyclical, and Pope Benedict’s Regensberg lecture, a serious Theological lecture, both influenced Mr. Magdi Allam.
God bless Mr. Allam and God Bless Pope Benedict
No. he is going to reduce it to what is meaningful to him, which is the pale image of God's law which is "the rights of man."
