After 24 families received notice by Thursday and many others worried all weekend whether they were "on the list," all orders were rescinded this morning. That happened - the why is merely heresay, but rumor has it this was a power play aimed at the Emir due to unhappiness over his policies - which as some correctly pointed out, have allowed two Christian churches to be built so far - and who put a quick stop to it once informed. (Not all Christians would worship at those two facilities, BTW, do all Muslims subscribe to the same brand of Islam?)
Lesson learned? Others, singly, have already unfortunately had this happen (likely unknown to the true government of the country). The attempt at a large group, many with influential positions across society, was halted. As for those who were quick to judge the victims as guilty just because they were chosen, as Eli Wiesel would say, let us hope your neighbors are kinder and stand up and yell should something similar ever happen to you.
