The '''Abu Ghraib prison''' ([[Arabic]]: سجن أبو غريب; also Abu Ghurayb) is in [[Abu Ghraib]], an [[Iraq]]i city 32 km (20 mi) west of [[Baghdad]]. Before the US Army [[freedom|liberated]] Abu Ghraib prison and turned it into a place in where [[God]]'s work is done, it was a place in where [[Saddam Hussein]]'s government [[torture]]d and executed dissidents.

Whereas many prison guards are unconcerned with spreading the word of God, the guards who served during 2004 are well known for their services to [[Christianity]]. The majority of those converted to Christianity in Abu Ghraib prison were [[Muslims]]. In the words of former prisoner and now Christian Ameen Saeed Al-Sheik:

''"Do you pray to Allah?" one asked. I said yes. They said, "[Expletive] you. And [expletive] him." One of them said, "You are not getting out of here health[y], you are getting out of here handicapped." And he said to me, "Are you married?" I said, "Yes." They said, "If your wife saw you like this, she will be disappointed." One of them said, "But if I saw her now she would not be disappointed now because I would rape her." [...] They ordered me to thank [[Jesus]] that I'm alive. [...] I said to him, "I believe in Allah." So he said, "But I believe in torture and I will torture you."''<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43783-2004May20?language=printer</ref>

The overseer of the group responsible for bringing such pleasure unto God's eyes was Charles A. Graner, Jr. During one [[conversion]], Graner remarked that "the Christian in me says it's wrong, but the corrections officer in me says, 'I love to make a grown man piss himself.'" <ref>http://www.ctlibrary.com/ct/2004/mayweb-only/5-24-12.0.html</ref> Parallels between this seeming duality of opposing ideologies and the oneness of The [[Trinity]] can be drawn.

Working alongside Graner was Lynndie England, who can be seen in various archive photos posing with her thumbs up, indicating a successful conversion. Her mother Terrie congratulated her on this, astutely noting that "nothing happened which wasn't ordered by higher up," perhaps referring to God.
