When this appears in print, our
prime minister, together with a lot of
business people, is in China. It is
billed as a trade mission, but the
prime minister has also been asked to
raise the issue of human rights.
China is one of the countries where
human rights are often trampled on.
But the same can be said of many
Islamic countries. Where Muslims
are in a majority position, they tend
to impose their rules and their values
on all other people. They also impose
their religion on other people. Forced
conversions are still taking place.
And once people embrace Islam,
whether forced or voluntarily, they
are required to follow all the rules of
There is nothing more important to
parents than the safety of their chil-
dren. With this in mind, CAA
Central Ontario has .created a list of
things that parents should look for or
avoid, when shopping for a car. seat
for their children.
"Many parents go out and buy a
car seat, thinking that one is just as
good as the next," said Carey-Ann
Greenham, spokesperson for CAA
Central Ontario. "This is not true.
Parents need to shop around to find a
car seat that is safe and suits their
particular needs."
Things that parents need to consid-
er when buying a child's car seat:
• Select a seat that has a base that
will fit the vehicle seat on which it
will be used. Ensure that almost the
entire base of the child car seat (85
per cent) is firmly supported by the
vehicle seat.
• Read the car seat manufacturer's
instructions as well as the owner's
manual to identify things that will
make the child seat more conven-
ient for parents and safer for chil-
dren.
With more than 25 per cent of
deaths in Huron County caused by
heart disease, Take Heart Huron is
working to raise awareness of heart
health and will be offering money to
help fund heart healthy projects.
The Opportunity Fund supports
local projects that encourage people
to be more active, eat healthier
and/or be smoke-free. A total of
$4,000 will be distributed to local
organizations or schools by March
31, 2002 with a maximum of $750
available to each project.
Last year, the Huron Country
Playhouse Guild received $750 to
establish a memorial garden at the
Playhouse in Grand Bend.
Community volunteers, the local
horticultural society and mem-
bers worked hard to build a garden
that will be maintained by Guild
members. President Molly Russell
says that funding for the project will
help members remain physically
active by working in the garden.
F. E. Madill's special education
class was also given $750 last year
for "Off To A Great Start", a program
that taught students healthy lifestyle
choices in preparation for independ-
ent living. Skills such as healthy
food choices, food handling and
preparation, and physical leisure
activities were incorporated into
their classes. Leslie Martin, special
education teacher, says that with
help from the Opportunity Fund,
they were able to establish a garden,
harvest the vegetables and make
products to. sell. The proceeds...from
Islam.
Where Muslims are not in the
majority, they favour freedom of
religion, so they can practise their
faith without interference. Where
they are in the majority, they take a
different attitude towards freedom of
religion.
Nowhere is this more evident than
in Saudi Arabia. Christians cannot
build a church in that country; they
cannot, evangelize; nor can they dis-
tribute any Christian literature - to
name but a few of the restrictions
under which they live.
We can't hold it against Muslims
that they seek converts to their reli-
gion. If you believe something with
your whole heart, you want to share
it with others.But. the way they go
• Choose a car seat that comes with
easy-to-understand instructions.
Remember, instructions that are
strictly in illustrations do not guar-
antee ease of installation.
• Consider if the seat-belt path
would be easily accessible and
whether it will fit the seat belt used
to hold it. On convertible models,
there will be two paths to route the
seat belt (one for forward-facing
and one for rear-facing) and these
routes should be clearly identified.
• Look for a seat with locking clips
that are simple to use.
• A retainer clip is important to keep
the child stay in place. Some people
find them easier to use than the har-
ness that slips through the plastic
clip. They may also reduce oppor-
tunities for misuse.
• Accessible harness adjusters are
very important, particularly when
moving children from winter to
summer clothing, and adjustments
need to be made on a daily basis. It
is also important to look at what
needs to be done to move the har-
ness straps from one set of slots in

shop and prepare nutritious meals
and snacks. Students will continue to.
have the benefit of those dollars for
years to come.
If your organization or school has
about this is something else. They
are still fighting their holy wars
(jihads) in many places and count no
cost too great to Islamize the world.
Of course, the apostles counted no
cost too great either. They also put
their lives on the line for their faith.
When Peter and John were told to
stop their ministry, they said: "Judge
for yourselves whether it is right in
God's sight to obey you rather than
God. For we cannot help speaking
about what we have seen and heard."
(Acts 4: 19, 20)
No forced conversions, no brain-
washing, no intimidation, no under-
handed tactics. They simply spoke of
what they had seen and heard. They
testified to the saving power of
Jesus. And the only lives that were
the back of the seat to another.
Some seats now have harness
adjusters that never need rethread-
ing of the straps.
• Pay attention to weight and height
limits and choose a seat that the
child can use for the longest period
of time.
• A limited number of seats in
Canada have colour coding for age
and weight. Look for these codes to
assist you in making the best deci-
sion for the age and size of your
child.
• Choose a car seat that is simple to
care for and clean. This will make
life for a parent a lot easier.
Child seats also have other fea-
tures that parents may want such as:
reclining features; combination
designs that allow the seat to be used
both in and out of the vehicle; shoul-
der harness tension that adjusts with
one hand; well padded seats with
head supports; and TwistGuard slots
that prevent the harness from being
twisted.

Christian evangelism is a matter of
testifying to the love of God for sin-
ners. It is motivated by love for God
and love for our fellow human
beings. And its methods must harmo-
nize with its goals. That's where
Christianity and Islam are miles
apart.
But if there's one thing we can
learn from Islam, it is the devotion of
its followers to their cause. That can-
not always be said about Christians.
Imagine what the world would be
like if the average Christian would
be as devoted to their faith. The
Christian faith is not just something
that guides us at home and in church.
That faith should control all that we
say and do.
