Today The Baptist Press News has a very interesting article on the recent election in Iraq, and it touches on the issue of religious freedom. This is an interview with a former Whitehouse staffer named Daniel Heimbach who now write books on morality and sexuality, as well as teaches at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

In VOM Canada's weekly Persecution & Prayer Alert we are told that there was an Indonesian Church Seriously Damaged by Fire on December 8th. The good news is that there were no human injuries, the bad news is there was extensive damage to the church building.

Sad news today coming from BosNewsLife's team of reporters. Apparently there are three Christians who have been wrongly convicted of violence who are now facing the potential of execution by firing squad in the country of Indonesia.

Today both Catholic World News and the Asia News Website are reporting a story about the call for Christians in Indonesia to live without fear during this Christmas season.

Today I have great news...in the event that you missed the interview Todd did with Janet Parshall yesterday Janet just happens to have the audio archived on her website. All you have to do is go over to www.jpamerica.com and go to the archives section and follow the links. Due to copyright laws I can't post it over here. I apologize for the inconvenience that may cause you.

I saw this story today and wondered if Farrakhan mentioned anything about the extremist Muslims killing Christians in the world, and if he denounced that action. Here are a few snippets from the article...

Today as I was listening to Todd talk to Janet one thing that Todd shared was how the action pack program is blessing the Muslim community. I think this is AWESOME!

According to Janet Parshall's America's website, VOM Director of News Services, Todd Nettleton, will appear on Janet's show to discuss his reaction about three Indonesian women recently sent to prison for the "Christianization" of Muslim children that have lost their appeal, among other developments from that region.

Is Christmas persecution really Christian persecution? That is the question that has been on my mind the last few weeks. I've heard some people say that Christians are just overreacting and need to build a bridge and get over it, and I have heard others say that this is the most Christmas persecution we've ever seen.

This story is an exclusive to Voice of the Martyrs and is posted on www.persecution.com I've copied some of it for you. To return to Islam or deny Christ - that is the question.
