The following excerpt is from the testimony of a former member of the Taliban who had been trained to be a terrorist named “Rafiq.”

“After 9/11, I was working with the Red Cross in Afghanistan.  I met some Christian workers and found some literature.  I had thought Americans were animals.  They are killing people, and they are fighting our country.  But when I was caught in Afghanistan, and met the Red Cross people who were foreigners and saved my life, I began thinking, ‘We want to kill them, and they are saving our lives.’  When I came back across to Pakistan, I began looking for some Christian religious leaders. 

            In 2003, I asked one to provide me with some Christian literature.  During this time I accepted Christ.  I began to distribute hundreds of Bibles among Muslims in schools, mosques and different villages.

            I have received many threatening calls from Taliban and local Muslim leaders.  They tell me, ‘Do not distribute the Christian literature.  Otherwise, we will kill you.’

I know terrorists have lots of weapons and can kill me, and they can kill anybody.  If they kill us the work and the Word will spread.  They will kill, and we will work.”
