How should I feel, as a christian, about al qaeda and the terrorist factions of Islam? Love your enemy, said the Lord, but are we not allowed to defend our selves? To turn the other cheek, they took the World Trade Center, shall we offer them the Sears Tower as well?He said: "Whosoever shall lose his life for my sake will gain it" Does that mean we should let the terrorist kill us all, for Jesus' sake, that we will gain life with Him?Thinking as a man who wants to live and wants there to be a free world for his children to live in, I feel that we should see Islam as a threat to our security and start killing muslims until they reject their Jihad against us. But is this attitude compatible with christian belief? I'm pretty sure we should not get into a religious war with Islam, but rather see them as a threat to our civil authority and freedom/liberty. Sharia law is incompatible with the American sense of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.They take to the streets here in Germany to protest the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, what are they thinking? Has not a country at war the right to hold enemy soldiers captive, until the end of hostilities?The people of the world need to understand that we are at war, all of us, not only the USA. Islam sees us all as enemies. They see the enemy of my enemy as a friend, but only until the common enemy is defeated, then they will turn. I see no other course, if freedom on Earth is to be saved, other than all out war with Islam, to treat Islam as we treated the Nazis, communists, or other enemies of freedom. We must never forget that the believers of Islam are fellow human beings, and we must be ready to accept them as equals, when they admit defeat and abandon the evil aspects of their religion.
