Yup. They need our prayers. Execution is one of the penalties for apostasy.
Converts are definately afraid of Islamofacists. Mid 2001, at a private home, several of us joined for dinner and met with a converted couple who were running scared. They knew the truth and anger of the moslem world. A undying hatred. Their warnings soon became a reality.
This is the key point. And if instead of preaching to the Muslim world the virtues of free market, democracy, sexual freedom, secularism and political correctness, Westerners shared the truths of the Gospel - forgiveness, repentence and love of God, the things would go better way.
But the West is forgetting God and worshipping the idols of materialism.
