German Citizenship stirs Muslim debate
http://articles.latimes.com/2006/apr/09/world/fg-test9
All over Europe and in this case particular, German Muslims are feeling they are being targeted by some social stereotypes.

Some claim these tests to be anti Islamic. But one thing is for certain is that these test are used to identify an extremist of all faiths and religions.

http://www.christianheadlines.com/columnists/breakpoint/why-christians-need-to-take-the-lead-to-end-sex-trafficking.html
The article begins by telling of Cook County, Illinois, Sheriff Thomas Dart and his work with sex trafficking. Dart has made a lot of big steps in changing the lives of those getting out of this trafficking. The article calls for christians to aid in the pursuit of bringing these women out of their forced lives. I salute these folks who give their time to this noble cause. Who better to bring these women back than followers of christ devoted to the well being of all human beings. This cause looks noble and could go far changing thousands of lives. I hope this calling gets as many answers as it needs.
