Well, I worry about kidnappings of Americans abroad a lot, because my daughter is married to a missionary. They and three of their children live in a country that is 95% Muslim.

This is an instance where I hope Debka is totally wrong, but...kidnapping works for the Filipino Muslims as a terror tool. Why not in Iraq?

Oh, I think it's a very serious issue worthy serious prayers.

In Taiwan, we had to be very cautious for certain periods. There are plenty of Middle Eastern Moslems there.

During one period, we had to show ID's to attend church.

But, one can only be reasonably informed and alert and prayerful. It is always GOD'S BUSINESS to be with us regardless and to insure that we are eternally with Him because we have chosen His Son's Blood covering for our flaws and Him as Lord and Savior.

There is PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING in that.
