people from worshipping The Force. According to
CzechPosition.com, the results of the Czech Republic's new census
that were unveiled this month reveal that 15,070 citizens of the
country listed their religion as Knights of the Jedi. While that
may pale in comparison to the 1.08 million people who
self-identified as Catholics and over four million who declined
to list their faith, it's still a sizable portion of people who

, Hajj: What It Has Become and What It
Should Be Again The Saudi-Wahhabi rulers of Arabia have
striven to make Hajj conform to their narrow conception of Islam,
and to a considerable degree they have succeeded. The Saudis
restrict the number of pilgrims (hujjaj) coming into the kingdom,
as a means of ideological control. Those who go to the Prophet's
Mosque in Medina to pray in praise of Muhammad, in a
long-standing Hajj observance, are vulnerable to beatings and
arrest by the morals patrols or mutawiyin if they commit the
supposed heresy of praying in the direction of Muhammad's body,
which the Wahhabis allege dilutes Islamic monotheism and imitates
Christian worship of Jesus. Læs mere

scriptures to prove it, and it was never, ever mentioned in
Sunday School lessons. Instead, it just seemed to be common
knowledge. Oh, for the good old days when the gays weren't so

send their children to church-sponsored ones because they know
the government pays the teachers there. "We pay taxes and by

Christ.."Much misunderstanding between Christians and Muslims has
arisen from the assumption that the Quran is for Muslims what the
Bible is for Christians," wrote Walls, who was one of the first
scholars to study the global church shift away from the West. "It
would be truer to say that the Quran is for Muslims what Christ
is for Christians.".."So the Quran has been burned and the Christ
has been crucified - and continues to be crucified," Piper wrote.
