"Be Witnesses For Jesus And Hunt Them Down" - Says Commander

What is the difference between the early Christians spreading their beiefs and today's Christian Soldiers?

Look at our U.S. soldiers promoting their religion to the people in Afghanistan - and the early Christians following Paul's orders to go spread the word for Jesus to the Roman empire.

For one thing, the US military has the most letahl weapons in the history of the world. An easy task to force ideas of faith on an illiterate population. The first Christians were more like the humble villagers of Norther Pakistan and Afghanistan, with little if anything of the material world.

According to well documented news reports, the U.S. Soldiers are being encouraged to spread the message of their Christian faith among Afghanistan’s predominantly Muslim population.   Aljazeera showed Military chaplains stationed in the U.S. air base at Bagram with Bibles printed in the country’s main Pashto and Dari languages.

Pirates Hijack Dutch Cargo Ship

Pirates seized a Dutch cargo vessel on Thursday, a regional maritime group said, in the latest hijack by gangs proliferating off Somalia despite the presence of patrolling foreign warships.

"The crew are said to be safe. We are hearing there are between eight and 18 crew members," said Andrew Mwangura, of the Kenya-based East African Seafarers Assistance Programme.

The 2,575-tonne "Marathon" was heading westbound through the Gulf of Aden when it was seized, he said.

Somali pirate activity has increased over recent weeks, despite an unprecedented deployment of warships seeking ...
