Life ... And Death...

In fact, when the
Islamic regime falls, as it eventually must, Iran is likely to become
the first country to see massive, voluntary renunciation of Islam.
Millions of people, especially young urbanites, will turn to the
Bahai faith,
since it is an indigenous Iranian religion.
In Algeria,
where the Islamic radicals haven't taken over (yet) but have wreaked
unimaginable havoc, the indigenous Berber minority, already alienated
from the Arabized majority for ethnic reasons, is increasingly turning
to Christianity. The behavior of the fundamentalists has led many
in the Berber heartland of Kabylie to conclude, in the words of
a newspaper account translated last year in The
Middle East Quarterly
, that "Christianity is life,
Islam is death."
