Have any of you ever met Christians who had converted out of Islam? Many, who had been extremely devout to their former beliefs, claim Jesus appeared to them.
The fact that these particular men were very comfortable in their lives and lost much while risking their lives gives truth to their testimony.
Yes indeed, I’ve even heard former Muslims preach the gospel from a pulpit. Never said this was not a reality. The sad reality is, most do not and die lost. It’s a beautiful thing when anyone comes to Christ and they are my brethren regardless of where they came from.
However, if you had been on these many threads for the last few months you would have read countless Roman Catholic FReepers calling for a return to the Inquisition.

Protestants do not call for the murder of RCs. Yet the media is silent when it comes to recent RC slaughters. How many times have you read the fact that the 1994 Rwandan genocide was committed by the predominantly Roman Catholic Hutus who slaughtered 800,000 predominantly Protestant Tutsis?
The liberal media protects the liberal church of Rome. Over $700 million dollars paid out by the RCC to settle pederast priest lawsuits on one day in one city and it's a one-day story below the fold.
Rome likes to complain about the bad press it gets but the fact is most news outlets bend over backwards to report the RCC in a positive light.
More's the pity.
I actually have met one — in Bahrain, but a secret convert as he was terrified of what his former congregation would think (yes, an ex-muezzein). incidently, he was first engaged by a Baptist preacher who drew him to Christ, though he became Chaldean Catholic (he hails both of these branches of Christianity with equal favor) - Baptists do exemplary work here and the rest of us would do well to emulate them.
