From Cherie Zahora, Indianapolis UCG member:

I sat up to watch 20/20 Friday night. They had a report on the fundamentalist Moslems that have invaded Afghanistan and what has happened to the women there. Women are forced to stay at home and must be completely covered. Orphanages have been left unstaffed as most of the employees were women. The children are caring for each other. Female doctors are not allowed to work in the hospitals, although some brave souls are ignoring the warnings to help the sick and those that need surgery. Can you imagine doing surgery with head and face covered with a veil?

These "fundamentalists" are basically illiterate and cannot even read the Koran. When asked by news what the Koran says about a topic, they cannot answer. This is the same group, I understand, that is wreaking havoc upon the Sabbatarians. I read your update this morning. It makes one hope all the more for "thy kingdom come."
