She basically is signing her own death warrant."

The Saudis execute "blasphemers". That is anyone who denies Mohammed.

When I was there they used to publish lists of people executed in the kingdom that week. Usually several, usually for drugs or murder, but always someone for blasphemy too.

My understanding was that anyone guilty of "blasphemy" could recant up to the moment the blade fell, and be saved from death. So it occurred to me, who from a muslim background would deny Mohammed all the way to the grave?

Thats when it occurred to me that, somehow, people are being saved inside of Saudi Arabia. If all you have to do to save your life is affirm that Mohammed is the prophet, who wouldn't? Except a Christian convert. I came to the conclusion that, somehow, saudis were being saved in a place where normal evangelism is impossible, and they are being martyred for it. Every week.

My daughter was Army Chaplain Assistant, served in Iraqi Freedom. She was in Kuwait for a while. Anyways, while there, a local Muslim befriend she and the Chaplain and they had good discussions about religion, etc. Then she had started hearing stories of Muslims having “Jesus Dreams” and how they were converting to Christianity. This was 5 years ago...it is happening...
