I had dinner with some people who hail from middle eastern parts yesterday, and they were as shocked as the rest of us are.
These folk are such kind people, that they volunteer at the local community centre, to help in any way that they can.
The father is taking weekly bible classes, because his intellectual curiosity is piqued and he wants to learn about Christianity so that he understands it better.
They describe themselves as modern Muslims, their daughter is a doctor and a friend.
