A Muslim Point of View

A large group of international representatives were touring the Capitol yesterday as our group stood in front of the Supreme Court. They were meeting with people from all branches of our government for Q&A sessions. They had just met with a Supreme Court Justice when some of them noticed our small band of intercessors standing with life tape. Intrigued, a few actually came over to ask what we were doing. A man from Iraq and another from India talked with our spokesperson and asked a bunch of questions about what we were doing. It seems one of them had planned to ask the Justice about Roe v Wade, but time ran out. As they were leaving the man from Iraq turned to a collegue and stated about us, "This is a higher agency."

When passerbys ask us what we're protesting, our patented answer is, "It's not a protest. It's a prayer meeting."® We take our stand in front of the highest court in the land, and we appeal day after day to a Higher Court. Our lobbying is not before men (although the life tape serves as a sign and wonder, not to mention a subpoena to the conscience of men), but we lobby Heaven itself. This muslim man's comment was astute. In the natural, we may look like an unpolished bunch of rif raf, but in reality we are a higher agency.
