I am not sure what they are thinking. I am still trying to figure out why my BIL smuggled Bibles into China some years back. He got caught. But I guess if their interior life is telling them that is where they must go, then they have to go. But they should not go as doves, they should go as hawks.

I have a problem with the Jesus turned the other cheek, so you have to as well, or you are not a Christian. Jesus, as you will recall caused quite a disturbance in the temple.

It is politically incorrect to use the word Crusade, but the other side only understands force. As we well know part of the reason this is happening is that our leaders tried to nicey, nice their way out of these things. We are perceived as weak and they will keep coming after us as long as we stay week.

I have long admired Israel, they don't screw around. You hit them, they hit back. Leave turning the other cheek, for people who leave the cap off the toothpaste.

I think it's fine sending Bibles in and for those who are genuinely called to foreign nations. But when you're going into a known hostile nation in the ME, where it's clearly against 'their laws' to convert their people and as a Christian you basically shun their law...then you're leaving yourself open for being attacked, and possibly be imprisoned or have your life taken.......so most should understand that risk before going. I agree that "turning the other cheek " is more times than not misapplied to many situations they end up finding themselves in, and often taken out of context. Like the verses which read ...eat, drink and be merry..doesn't mean you go out on the town.

I have no problem opposing Islam and it's teachings....I have a serious problem with those in our country who think we should accept those who practice Islam......they are not in this country to become Americans...rather to convert our nations peoples...and this includes when Christians make attempts to convert Muslims, who will tell you what you want to hear, engage in conversation, but their intent is to convert you.
