Since Christianity didn't enter Turkey via military action, how could the "Crusades, part II" be the right answer?

I said that jokingly. However, Christianity did enter other regions via military action. Remember Constantine? In October, 312AD He had a vision in which he and his army saw the sign of the cross emblazoned across the sky and the words "In hoc signo vinces" (In this sign you will win.) He had the cross inscribed on his soldiers' armor. He went into battle and even though his forces were outnumbered, he won. Then Christianity became the official religion of the empire.

The wrong answer to this problem is to accept Islam as just another religion that deserves the same respect as Christianity. It's a cult and the ones that won't be converted must be killed. Christians are their sworn enemy.

I agree with you that God must raise up leaders and begin an awakening. For those that won't awake, I feel like the sword is appropriate.

Islam is a definite threat to freedom, the world over. As we fight for "freedom" we are fighting for the right to practise Christianity.
Can we fight to establish Christianity? I think we both agree that's not the way it works. I wish it were that simple, but it isn't. And...that's what makes Christianity different from Islam.
