...would be as grave a mistake to see Osama bin Laden as an authentic representative of Islam as to consider James Kopp, the alleged killer of an abortion provider in Buffalo, N.Y., a typical Christian or Baruch Goldstein, who shot 29 worshipers in the Hebron mosque in 1994 and died in the attack, a true martyr of Israel. The vast majority of Muslims, who are horrified by the atrocity of Sept. 11, must reclaim their faith from those who have so violently hijacked...
...waive that. If this act is unprecedented at all, it is so only in its scale. Consider these two: Eric Rudolph, charged with various bombings of abortion clinics and suspected in the bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, and James Kopp, arrested for the murder of Dr. Bernard Slepian. If they had the opportunity to blow up a building full of abortion providers, do you think they would pause even a moment? Osama bin Laden and Associates are no more evil, or more vicious, than Rudolph, Kopp, et al., just smarter, richer, more numerous, and a lot better connected...
...genre-bender, packing a change-your-life message that evangelicals are used to seeing in 350-page tomes into an easy-to-read 93 pages. At $9.99, it can be bought in multiple copies for friends, like a literary W.W.J.D. (What Would Jesus Do) bracelet. Wilkinson's editor David Kopp reports two influential boosters: James Dobson and his wife Shirley, who heard Wilkinson preach Jabez on a tape during a long drive. Dobson then featured the book on his immensely influential Focus on the Family radio show. Mark Tauber, a religion-book veteran now at the Beliefnet.com website, notes that...
Wilkinson and Kopp claim that Jabez is attracting nonevangelical audiences, but that is hard to believe, given the book's use of loaded catchwords and concepts. And with some 20 million evangelicals in the country, it is also moot. Says Carolyn Henninger, a bookstore owner in Gainesville, Ga.: "Jabez has changed my life. I had never prayed for the Lord to bless me, to enlarge my territory. It's phenomenal that people I show the book to come back in and buy extra books they're sharing." Henninger has sold 2,300 copies, and says, "I hope I never...
ARRESTED. JAMES KOPP, 46, radical anti-abortion activist on the FBI's 10-most-wanted list; for the 1998 shooting death of New York abortion doctor Barnett Slepian; at a post office in Dinan, France. Kopp was on the run for two years. In the U.S., he could face the death penalty, but his arrest in France may complicate prosecution. French law prohibits extradition of foreign nationals to countries where they can be sentenced to death...
