A Small Light in an Ocean of Darkness

Ramsey Abdullah is a very brave man:

Questions About Faith, a show broadcast by a Europe-based Christian satellite station called Life TV, is creating a stir throughout the Middle East. The show, a vehicle for Christian apologetics, directly addresses issues that lie at the heart of the Islamic faith, such as Muhammad’s life and the Koran’s authenticity. Given the monopoly that Islam has had on religious discourse in the region, the show is notable for this fact alone. But even more novel is the fact that the program’s most frequent host is a convert from Islam to Christianity. Such open speech by a convert is an unheard-of challenge to Islam in its heartland.
