Update IV (3/27): If you’ve never visited IMAO, you must stop by. Frank J. and his contributors are hilarious. (And their podcast provides much-needed comic relief, too.) Frank lightens the mood with this funny and spot-on “editorial” about Christianity.
Update (3/26) III: On this Lord’s day, Abdul Rahman’s life is spared. A giant step toward civilized society for Islam. Even so, Christ said:
“Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues. On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
…
“So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. (Matthew 10: 17-23; 26-28)

Hope you can make it to the Support Abdul Rahman event tomorrow outside the Afghan Embassy in Washington DC from noon to 1pm. Many religious activists and bloggers will be joining us–and in addition to honoring Rahman, it is also an opportunity for people of all faiths to come together and celebrate a precious cornerstone of Western civilization: religious freedom.
Best,
Michelle
I told her I couldn’t go (very important appointment I shouldn’t miss). 
The rally for Abdul Rahman will take place at the Afghan Embassy in DC tomorrow at noon:
Friday March 24
Noon to 1pm
Outside the Afghan Embassy
2341 Wyoming Ave NW.
Washington DC
Contact info for the embassy.
Reminder: “Christians, unless you live in the Middle East or Africa or anywhere Muslims rule, it’s doubtful that you’ll be murdered for believing in Christ, but remember the saints who are. Pray for them to remain strong and encouraged. Ask God to give them a calm heart and mind, knowing that he can use even evil for his divine purpose.”
Cam Edwards and Michelle will be there. Other posts: Karen of Scottsdale, Sister Toldjah, Josue Sierra, Raymond B., Evangelical Outpost, Lorie Byrd (and here), Bill Frist, California Conservative…
If you plan to go (or blogged about Rahman today) let me know so I can link. This blog swarm seems more political than spiritual. Are Christian bloggers buzzing about this?
