"If we do not stop them, radical Islamists will use prisons, packed with angry and resentful men, to put an evil twist on [an old] message: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses—yearning to get even."Charles Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship, calling for a ban on Wahabbist prison chaplains.
"Some freedom fighters adopt martyrdom or suicide bombing, while others opt for other measures. But all these struggles serve the continued intifada for freedom. Therefore, we support all these causes."Attallah Hana, Jerusalem-based maverick and Greek Orthodox priest.
