We can observe here one of the results of recent US foreign policy. Saddam Hussein tolerated and even welcomed Christians - he had a nominal Christian as deputy Prime Minister - but now, thanks to the disastrous US foreign policy in the Middle East, based as it was on lies and deception, we have a situation where Christians in the Middle East are being looted and subjected to humiliating taxes by islamic militants.

Iraq is likely to turn into a radical islamic hotbed of murder and global terrorism - BECAUSE and not in spite of, US activities. If you add gasoline to a fire it will not put it out.

Will this be an excuse for the neo-cons in America to further take away the liberties of the American people? Probably. They made the problem, and then they "solve" it by taking away the freedom of the people and subjecting more and more people to a police state.

I believe the correct way to deal with Islam is through prayer, fasting and bold witnessing with love and kindness. A military approach will multiply hatred and turn multitudes of ordinary muslim people into raving suicide bombers.

Muslims seem to believe their afterlife narrative unlike the vast majority of Christians who will not sacrifice their enormous wealth and comfortable lifestyles here and now to tell people the good news of Jesus Christ. This is why God is permitting this thing. Unless we live as if what we believe is true, God will eventually allow others to rise up and oppress us.
