A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and buried her with their infant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids.
15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him,
they found the 2 girls under the sand - alive! The girl was asked how she had survived. "A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister." She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor.
She said on public TV, "This was none other but Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!"
Muslims believe Jesus would do this, but the wounds mean He really was
crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! The country is outraged
over the incident, and the man will be executed. But it's also clear that the a child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help!
With Egypt at the center of the media and education in the Middle East, you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still turning the world upside down!

I don't think that's it, that's a nigerian church not americans.

I have noticed that the National Enquirer locates many of its more outlandish stories in foreign lands, such as India or Egypt, where credulous people are more likely to accept the story at face value, rather than wonder why they didn't hear about it from another news source.
As a rule, wonder tales always happen far, far away. Like, let's say, the Sinbad stories or Star Wars.

Nor could the child in The Exorcist have swiveled her head all the way around like that, unless she was possessed by the devil.
