...reminded that the archangel Lucifer became a devil. Herein lies the wisdom and a caveat, that each man who is worthy of the respect of others must choose to be an angel or a devil by his acts or inaction, by his voice or reticence. Choose! Gideon Suleman Kaduna, Nigeria The Book vs. the Movie I don't see how Corliss could pick the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire over the book [Dec. 26-Jan.2]. While I really liked the movie - it was fast and action-packed - none of the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling...

And Christians will probably die. They may die in Indonesia as well. Sodomy is punishable by death under Sharia law. It's a shame that Islam is that intolerant - that they kill Christians every time there's some wave...
...death by stoning for adultery. Nigerian Muslims called the contest indecent and said it promoted promiscuity. When an article in local newspaper This Day suggested that the Prophet Muhammad would have chosen a wife from among the pageant's contestants, things turned ugly. Muslims in the northern city of Kaduna rioted, burning the newspaper's local office and destroying at least four churches; violence spread to Abuja. "The entire Muslim world condemns this misguided, provocative and most dangerous publication," says Malam Zubair Jibril, a Muslim leader in the north. Local Christians retaliated, killing Muslims and setting fire to mosques...
