The following might be called a racist joke over in Europistan. I was just inspired by a sermon this am by a fellow named Wally Mandangal. This guy pastored secret home churches in Saudi Arabia - deep in the heart of Wahabism. He found the people there starving for faith and freedom. He was eventually caught by Islamic fanatics, who beat the heck out of him, threatened to kill him many times, tried beating him into submitting to Islam, and finally brought him up before the Saudi Supreme Court who sentenced him to death.
He was beaten and tortured for six hours once to gain the names of his brethern in Saudi. He wrote down: John the Baptist, Billy Graham, Paul of Tarsus, filled a whole page with names from the Bible and people of faith. When Mandangal's jailers found they had been duped, they came back and started beating him some more. Finally out came the gun to his temple (so to speak), with the mafia (aka thuggish) threat that either his renouncement of Christ or his brains were going to be on the paper. He refused to renounce that which gave him freedom from this earth and how blessed was the cross that bought that freedom. His captors screamed at him to "shut up" about the cross. They asked if he thought Islam would fall. He said yes, which earned him more screaming and beatings. Figuring he was about to die, Mandangal began to profess his love of Christ. The gun holder stiffened his grip as if to pull the trigger. But then terrified for "some strange reason" his hand began to shake and he dropped the pistol. His torturers left him and never returned. Hours before he was to be executed by the Saudi government, Mandangal was freed to tell his tale of freedom to all those with ears to hear.
The "Religion of Peace." The best never intended joke I've ever heard. As Mandangal said in closing, "We Americans need to wake up. We have a nation to defend and nations to reach." Amen to that Brudda!
