"How Beautiful the Feet..."

While in the Middle East, I interviewed a couple who told of a Muslim friend who believed in Jesus Christ after having a dream about old religious leaders weeping and asking her "Do you know what they did to Jesus?" When this woman realized she didn't know, she asked this couple, who told her...

It is illegal to evangelize there, and because the civil law can't contradict Shar'ia law, people who convert can get hurt, and I don't just mean emotionally.

We journalists pressed this question with the religion experts with whom we spoke. In the end neither can yield and be true to the distinctives of one's faith. A Christian must have the freedom to share the good news of Christ's love, and a Muslim must obey Shar'ia law.
