  >         I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to

  >        After the presentations, time was provided for questions and
  > answers.
  >        When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and
  > asked:  "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most

  >        There was no disagreement with my statements and, without

  >
  >        I responded,  "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All
  > followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of
  > your
  > faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?"
  >
  >        The expression on his face changed from one of authority and
  > command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand
  > in
  > the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied,  "Yes."
  >        I then stated,  "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to

  > faith
  > or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to
  > Heaven!"
  >
  >        The Imam was speechless.

  >        I continued,  "I also have a problem with being your friend when

  >
  >       You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in
  > shame.
