One hundred people representing 3 different families are locked in a room by men carrying guns. They tell the crowd that they will randomly choose 10 people whom they will rescue before they blow 90 of them away. They are free to discuss the possibility of being rescued but no negotiations for more than the predetermined 10 will be accepted. The predetermined 10 will be identified and marked several hours before Zero hour so they can tell the others the good news that they have been chosen to be saved.
How is this good news for any of the 100 including the 10 that will be saved? Many of their family members will perish. This is the same kind of good news we have heard on here but on a much smaller scale.

They chose their own way to go and ended up in this hellish circumstance through their own fault.

The ten that got out climbed on board a bus which crashed all were killed.

Terrorism is happening daily in these perilous times.

"I've been receiving numerous emails from people asking me what my take is on the recent news of "Bill Hybels repenting" of his seeker sensitive methodology. The talk of repentance by the founder of the Willow Creek church comes from a recent conference in which he was quoted as saying: "spiritual growth doesn't happen best by becoming dependent on elaborate church programs but through the age old spiritual practices of prayer, bible reading, and relationships. And, ironically, these basic disciplines do not require multi-million dollar facilities and hundreds of staff to manage". Of course, that's true, and that's why so many of us have been chanting "give us Bibles not Hybels!" for years. But the question now is - what are we to make of these latest Willow words? Are we really seeing a change of mind from the Prince of Plexiglas Pulpits? Or is this just another left turn leading even further away from biblical Christianity?"

"The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion is a book by Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch and Dhimmi Watch.

In the book the author proposes to present a “scrupulously accurate account of what Muhammad said and did� examining the writings of the early biographers of Muhammad such as Ibn Ishaq, Ibn Sa'd, al-Tabari as well as the Qur'an and the hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim. In the examination of the early sources, Spencer attempts to elucidate the events of Muhammad's life which are invoked by contemporary Islamic clerics, governments, advocates and jihadists such as the Muslim Brotherhood‘s "spiritual" leader, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi today as a standard for their behavior which may be viewed as violent and incompatible with Western values of human rights."
