“Who knows? Perhaps this case, as horrific as it is, will serve as a wake-up call and the Saudis will step out of the 7th Century and start to demand that human life and freedom must be respected. Maybe this disgraceful result will get them to reconsider the practice of hostage-taking, and cause them to realize that every life has value.”
That I sure can agree with and pray for. But I also think that the best hope for any nation under Islam is that the truth of Christ no longer be suppressed and denied to the people. Christianity knows and defends the value of every life.
And though I believe this horrific crime is a crime and not some kind of statement of Islamic belief I am all too aware that Islam ( even if as some argue it gets twisted) was birthed in blood and lives on in blood. That what we in Christianity call sin is in Islam another way of justifying murder, terror, and cruelty.
So many horrors do originate from Islam. Fortunately Saudi Arabia will view this as a crime and the butcher will be punished. Had this happened in some Islam countries and had the victim been a female who had dared to go against her father’s commands then yeah this would hardly have raised a blip.
In countries where Christ has been silenced the old gods will take hold. They are always savage, petty, evil and blood thirsty. They thrive on human sacrifice. Moloch has his aborted babies but “Allah” has a much more varied fare.
Would you care to place a friendly wager on that? I would bet he gets no more than a severe lashing.
Of course, I could be wrong, which is the purpose of the wager. Betting on sure things is boring.
