OUT LOUD

NewsJim White  |  April 12, 2012

“If every Muslim does that then within a year we will have supplied every person in Germany with a Quran translation and they will not label us as terrorists or radicals or anything else, when they read Allah’s book.”
Ibrahim Abu Nagie
The Salafist preacher was referring to plan by a German Muslim gruop to distribute Qurans to every citizen in Germany.

“The fact that we don’t believe that Mormonism is a Christian faith doesn’t mean we would not vote for someone who is Mormon, if they are pro-life.”
Richard Land
The president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission was telling Time that evangelicals will coalesce behind Mitt Romney as Republican presidential candidate.

“Moravians are stuck on tradition. It worked 240 years ago, so we keep doing it.”
Dick Joyce
The 62-year-old was discussing the Moravians celebration of the nation’s oldest Easter service in Winston-Salem, N.C. He started playing trumpet in the celebration’s brass bands when he was 12.
