AWM Media: "The Arab News (www.arabnews.com) reports that Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is flooded with pirated copies of The Passion of the Christ.
The film is being sold outside supermarkets and from car trunks for $8.00 or less. One vendor said, "My customers don't like subtitled movies, but they are buying this one."
A colleague in the Arabian Gulf writes:
"in just a few short days, more Arab Muslims have been able to clearly hear (and see) the Gospel in their own language than we would be able to reach in a lifetime of ministry in the Middle East. We are just walking around in our own version of a 'shock and awe campaign.'
In AWM, we are being engulfed by a wide variety of responses from all over the Arab World to Mel Gibson's film, The Passion of the Christ."
