Land for sale?Prove Islam is not forced [Archives:2005/828/Letters to the Editor]

I found the recent East and West column for Easter week to be one of the best articles ever written in The Yemen Times.

Particularly revealing was the paragraph on Muslim Yemen, and the fact that there is not one Yemeni church for 20 million Yemenis.

In order to prove that Islam is not forced on people and the people have a free choice there must be the possibility for Yemeni people to worship Jesus the Messiah.

I challenge the Yemeni government to allow me to build a church building where anyone is welcome to come. I will look after the cost of such a place.

Having visited your beautiful country and its warm hearted people, I remember that in the old city in Sana'a there is a place where there used to be such a building. It is now a wasteland with a wall around it.

Maybe this would be a suitable place to build. How much would the city of Sana'a charge me for this land?

(P.S. I LOVE Yemen.)
