The two blogs that I finally decided on following are littlegreenfootballs.com and dailykos.com.
They are both updated multiples times a day, by different people.
As politicians fight to be a candidate for the presidential elections of November 2008, there are myriad things said about them by people all over the nation, not to mention all over the world. People wonder; is age and experience really that important? Do we want a brand new face representing this country?
Reading about a speech night at the 100 club on dailykos.com, there were many things said about Hillary and Obama. “Whether
The blog post that struck me on littlegreenfootballs.com, although not too political, was
After killing over 200 people and injuring approximately the same amount, Mukhlas, one of the three bombers feels “beautiful”. He doesn’t regret his actions—quite pleased actually. He firmly believes that what he did was right and he encourages other Muslims to read his book that he wrote while in jail, waiting for the day of his execution.
Since the tragedy of 9/11, I’ve wondered. While these Muslims are so radical and so out-there, where are the Christians? What are we doing? These Muslims believe in something that is not even true. But they believe with faith like none other. If, we Christians, claim to believe in real truth, what are we doing? What is the right thing to do?

One of the films in the DCM series is Paradise Now. It deals with suicide bombing. It may not answer your questions -- but it will give you something to think about.
Wow...that last portion of your blog was incredibly thought provoking. I wish i had an answer!
The last part of your entry reminded me of when Kamal came and spoke at Calvin. There was a lot of controversy regarding his lecture, but the one thing that I walked away from it with was the fact that the Muslims know the Koran inside and out, and they are taking extra initiatives to reach the unreached. The number of their followers are growing exponentially while many of us Christian can barely remember John 3:16. We need to love people or else where are those people going to turn? To the only ones offering open arms- Muslims.
Rebecca, I think you brought up many good points, which got me to thinking-thanks! It is sad and crazy to think that Mukhlas is proud of what he did. This shows what a corrupt world and society we are living in- my hope is that soon we will see more and more Christians taking a stand for what they believe in, willing to be strong advocates for the Lord. Hopefully the people who do read Mukhlas book will be turned away and realize that his belief is in something false; maybe this will make people search for a deeper meaning in life and in the end, find the Lord.
