I wouldn't denounce my faith
Reader comment on item: [Khobar Rampage:] "Don't Be Afraid, We Won't Kill Muslims"
Submitted by Ghaly Shafik (Egypt), Jun 8, 2004 at 18:48
I am an Egyptian and I am a Christian. I'm sure the terrorists would have killed me just because I am Christian even though I am not a Westerner. Terrorists have killed scores of Christians in Southern Egypt.However, I won't denounce my faith if a terrorist asked me about my faith, I hope I won't. I hope I'll do like Columbine school student Cassie Bernall who answered "Yes I believe" when her killer asked her whether she believed in God.
