My late Lebanese Christian brother-in-laws grandfather moved the entire family from the Beruit area many years ago when the muslim persecution of Christians there became intolerable and the growing violence between the muslims and Christians threatened to spill into the family.
But, as we all know now, islam is the religion of peace.
What most folks fail to understand is that there are several definitions of peace.
One is the absence of war or conflict. The other is absence of RESISTANCE TO MY IDEOLOGY, THEOLOGY OR WAY OF DOING THINGS.
The muslims just like Obama — have thoroughly embraced the latter definition.
Thanks for that info about Lebanon years ago.
And of course you are quite right...Islam only offers the “peace of the grave”.
