The bombings in London on July 7th brought back all the sorrow and anger I felt on 9-11. I couldn't write about it, I couldn't even talk about it. THEN.

But after almost 2 weeks of reading the news articles and quotes by nutjob extremists (the media loves to quote nutjobs, you know) and their nutty supporters, I've realized I don't need to talk about my sadness, but I need to address BOTH the nutjob extremists and the moderate Muslim, and make a few points from an America-Christian perspective.

POINT 1:

To both the extremists and the average Muslim: I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FIG WHAT YOUR RELIGION IS

As an American, I grew up believing everyone had a right to worship the way they chose - even if they chose not to worship at all. Granted, I may not totally understand how various religions believe what they believe (or don't believe), but I've always respected the individual right of a person to choose their faith.

God gave every man a choice in how they believed - or whether they believed at all. Who am I to question God and tell anyone how to believe?

Most everyone in America feels this way. So if you're a Jew who doesn't believe Jesus was the Messiah, or a Muslim who doesn't believe Jesus was the Messiah and thus the ultimate prophet as the Son of God, no, I don't understand how you can not believe, but I totally believe you have a right not to believe (notice how Jews and Muslims are pretty much united on believing Jesus was a good guy and a prophet but not the SOG?? You folks have a lot more in common than you think

I live in an area of the country where there is a majority of Christians, but also a good sized population of Jews and Muslims. Guess when the last time we had a squabble (or bloodshed) over religious differences? ANSWER: NEVER. Never, ever. Not before 9-11. Not after 9-11.

You know why? Because the Christians, Jews and Muslims here are all free to worship as they choose, and all acknowledge the rights of different religions to exist. Hell, we're even friends with each other (I had a Jewish attorney and a Muslim was one of my bridesmaids!)

This is not unusual in America. Pre 9-11, that was the norm. Post 9-11, most communities are still this way (though some communities where extremists have been found are a bit antsy, and understandably so since the extremists what to anihilate Americans of every faith just because we're Americans).

And yes, we've had a few American nutjobs who want to retaliate against all Muslims because of what the extremists did - but they are VERY FEW, and WE (Americans of all faiths) prosecute them, because the one thing we are not tolerant of is religious intolerance.

So for any extremist or average Muslim - Don't you think we'd have nailed the Muslims in America if our goal was to get rid of Islam? Hell, all we'd have to do is enact legislation outlawing Islam (like so many Muslim nations have laws that outlaw Christianity or Judaism) and close our borders. We didn't have to go to the Middle East.

But, you see, Americans don't outlaw any religion. Or even the lack of religion. Even though we are a country founded primarily on Christian (Old Testament and New Testament) ideals.

POINT 2:

For extremists and the average Muslim: FOR US, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION, AND NO MATTER WHAT THE EXTREMISTS TELL YOU, THIS IS NOT A HOLY WAR.

First, the extremists will kill anyone who disagrees with them. They don't care whether you're Christian, Jew or Muslim. In fact, they kill a lot more Muslims than they do Jews or Christians.

Second, Jihad (holy war), according to Mohammed, is not a matter of Muslims kicking the shit out of Jews and Christians and murdering as many non-Muslims as possible just because they aren't Muslims, or murdering as many Muslims as possible because they are easier targets. And this is all the so-called Jihadists are accomplishing.

Third, as I pointed out above, we don't care what your religion is. You attack us, you threaten us or our families, and we don't care whether you're Christian, Jew or Muslim, we're going to fight back.

Anyone who claims this is a holy war is lying to you. Not only is this NOT the way MOHAMMED instructed Muslims to act (in regard to other Muslims, Christians or Jews), our attacking Afghanistan and Iraq had NOTHING to do with religion or Muslims. The bad guys just happened to be Muslims. And we've fought many a battle in the past where the bad guys also happened to claim to be Christian.

American has NEVER fought a war based on religion. For us, it's all about FREEDOM. Freedom not only for us to live without the threat of terror, but also freedom for Muslims in the Middle East so they can worship how they want and not live under the constant threat of being murdered or raped or beaten by the thugs who use Islam as a cover for their evil.

And no matter how much Osama twists and intentionally misinterprets the Koran, the bottom line, he's not fighting for Islam or for Mohammed or for God. He's power hungry and determined to rule all of the Middle East.

Do Muslims across the world really want to see the home of their ancestors and the place where Islam was born controled by a man who lies about the scripture and blatantly defies the very word of God and Mohammed so that he can get one step closer to his goal of dominating Muslims?

POINT 3:

For every Muslim: WE DID NOT ATTACK IRAQ IN 1991 BECAUSE THEY WERE MUSLIM. WE ATTACKED BECAUSE SADDAM WAS BULLYING ANOTHER MUSLIM COUNTRY (Kuwait) FOR THEIR OIL.

America often helps countries who are being bullied by another country. We don't care about what religion the attacker is or the attacked.

The first Gulf War was AMERICA DEFENDING MUSLIMS (Kuwait)

POINT 4:

For extremists and the average Muslim: WE DID NOT ATTACK AFGHANISTAN IN 2001 OR IRAQ IN 2003 BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIM COUNTRIES

We attacked Afghanistan because the Taliban was running the country and the Taliban was a group of power hungry, bad people. Not only were they harboring that bastard Osama who ATTACKED US FIRST. But they were cruel to the average Muslim living there.

We didn't care if Osama and the Taliban were Muslim (or Christian or Hindu or Buddist or Jew) - they are evil, and regardless of religion (or lack thereof), they needed taken out.

From an American perspective, BOTH the fact that they were cruel to the people of Afghanistan AND that they supported the man who'd plotted to kill as many innocent Americans as possible on 9-11, that's more than enough reason to attack back. It had NOTHING to do with their religion. They just happened to be Muslim (but if they'd have been Jews or Christians, we'd have nailed them, just the same)

We attacked Iraq for more reasons than I can count on my available fingers.

All right, we now know that SOME of the intelligence was incorrect. But admit it - even Muslims in the Middle East were pretty sure Saddam had WMDs.

And we also have to admit Saddam bragged pretty openly about his weapons programs (probably thinking that would keep us from attacking after the first Gulf War).

He broke every treaty he made after the 1st Gulf War. He kicked weapons inspectors out. In general, he was a raging lunatic, who literally slaughtered Muslims by the thousands. And let's not forget that this man also tried to have our president assassinated (George, the elder) and by American standards, this alone is enough reason to take him out (though we took the high road and only arrested him). And Saddam was an open supporter of suicide bombings that served no purpose but to kill innocents, and he had his own little terrorist training camps.

And EVERYONE knows that IF he didn't have WMDs before the war in Iraq (that he certainly could have ditched in the 6 months we hem-hawed around about going into Iraq), he would have obtained them at the first opportunity he thought he could (what do you think all those bribes with the UN Oil for Food program were about? Getting the eyes of the world off him so he could go back to terrorizing more than just the citizens of Iraq, including other Muslim nations).

And speaking of the Oil for Food program, doesn't it bother Muslims that Saddam was keeping the food and medicine and money from that program that were supposed to be used for all the common Iraqis? He was keeping it for himself and his buddies. The common Iraqi got squat. This is a great man to Muslims?

Yes. We wanted him out of there. He was not only a threat to the Shites and Kurds living in Iraq (and some of the Sunnis), but he was a threat to the countries neighboring him (just ask the people of Kuwait and Iran), and in general, the guy was a... thinking of the sort of curse Saddam himself would use here... DOG. No, he was worse than a dog. Lower than a dog. He wasn't as good as the ground a dog walked upon.

Some Arabs thought Saddam was cool because he "stood up to America". In reality? He stood only as tall as he dared - but no taller than the height he thought that the US (and the rest of the world) would not actually notice him.

He was not brave. Killing weaponless citizens of Iraq is not brave. Attacking Kuwait for their oil was not brave. Raping women in front of their husbands because you're pissed off is not brave. Killing children because you're pissed off at their father is not brave. Killing men just because they disagree with you is not brave.

And fleeing Baghdad and hiding in a hole on some farm while your countrymen lose their lives in your name is NOT brave.

Saddam was a coward. Period. He did nothing brave. Ever. He and his thugs terrorized the people of Iraq, and frankly, if the US hadn't been keeping tabs on the madman, he'd have terrorized much more of the Middle East.

I have to wonder why all these Muslims who are upset about us attacking Saddam aren't upset about all the evil Saddam did to... MUSLIMS? He killed Muslims. He freaking enjoyed killing Muslims. Hell, he liked killing Muslims more than Jews! (compare the number of Jews he killed to the number of Muslims he killed).

Isn't killing innocent God-fearing Muslims wrong, folks? Or is it Okay if it's done by another Muslim? Explain it to me, because I just don't understand how anyone could have thought this guy was a hero when he killed so many Muslims - many for no reason at all beyond his thirst for killing Muslims.

He was cool because he hated America? Who are we kidding? He LOVED America - our movies, our clothes, our way of life. He just didn't like the fact that America prevented him from taking over other countries.

How many Americans did he kill in his hatred of America? How many hundreds of thousands of Muslims did he kill in his love for Islam? THINK ABOUT IT.

POINT 5:

To all Muslims: SUNNI, SHITE, KURD - IT'S ALL ISLAM

Saddam murdering Shites and Kurds (just because they were Shites and Kurds) or Osama and the Taliban killing Muslims who didn't wear long beards or a scarf over their face (just because they were Muslims who didn't worship in the extreme, strict, often misinterpretted way Osama and the Taliban wanted people to worship, even though they didn't worship this way themselves) would be like me killing Baptists and Catholics (just because they Baptists and Catholics).

But you see, in America, I may be a Christian who doesn't worship quite the same way as a Baptist and Catholic, but in America, we consider them all Christians, and therefore part of the same religion. So no, we don't understand all the in-fighting amongst the different sects of Islam (actually, we don't understand fighting and killing anyone just because they are a different faith)

And no, we don't think it was okay for Saddam to kill Muslims.

Holy @#$%, folks, you're all Muslims when all is said and done. Why do SOME Muslims approve the killing of other Muslims just because they worship a bit differently?

Did God - the authority higher than the Jews' prophets, the Christians' Jesus and the Muslims' Mohammed - EVER say to kill innocent people? Did Mohammed ever direct Muslims to kill other Muslims just because they didn't like the skin tone or nationality of the other Muslims? Or just because other Muslims may have a few different rituals or special days?

I'll answer you. The answer is NO. NEVER. Neither God nor Mohammed thought it was cool to kill innocent Muslims.

In fact, neither God nor Mohammed thought it was cool to kill innocent Jews or Christians or Hindus or Buddists, either.

POINT 6:

To the extremists (because the average Muslim already understands this): EXTREMISTS WHO SUICIDE BOMB JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND MUSTLIMS ARE GOING TO HELL

Yep, you read that correctly. They are going to HELL.

Just because some drugged up dude straps explosives to his body and detonates himself while crying "Allah Akbar" doesn't mean he has a place in Heaven. God (the supreme authority) never condoned murder and the slaughter of innocents. In fact, even when Moses and his people were being abused by the Pharoh, God did not tell Moses to kill their abusers - GOD took care of all that Himself.

In the Muslim Koran, the Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible, the penalty for killing innocent people is separation from God (we Christians call that HELL). So suicide bombers are NOT going to sit at God's feet no matter how loudly they claim they do it in the name of God. They will be cast out of Heaven and into the fiery pits of HELL.

Good riddance.

POINT 7:

To the extremists: YOU ARE NOT GETTING VIRGINS WHEN YOU DIE

Here's a fact. God NEVER promised SEX to anyone for good deeds. Never. In fact, God disapproved of sex except between a married couple.

And God NEVER said anything about sex in Heaven (sex is for procreation and mortal enjoyment between married people - spirits don't have penises, and therefore could not have sex if they wanted to).

It seems odd that a religion so conservative about sexual relations between unmarried people would allow some nutjob to convince their youth that they get shitloads of fornication in Heaven - when it's ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE!

Focus and try to think clearly for just one moment here.

Would God ever approve of a man leaving his wife and children for the opportunity to have sex with other women?

If you've read your Bible (or Koran and Torah), the answer is NO. God commanded ALL men to cherish and care for their family and raise them up in the way of the Lord God, not abandon them forever and leave them unprotected for a chance to fornicate.

IF you answered "yes", then you have not read your scripture, and have instead allowed someone else to tell you what it says - and they have LIED to you.

Take responsibility for your own soul.

Read the Torah (it is the first set of books God commissioned), then read the Bible (New Testament) as it is at the very least by Mohammed's acknowledgement the books about the great prophet Jesus, and then read your Koran (just like any trilogy, they are best read in the order they were written).

Anyone who tells you you get physical pleasure for murdering yourself and others is full of shit. When you're dead, you're a soul. You have no physical presence. You canNOT have sex! Even if you got virgins in Heaven, you couldn't have sex with them!

So what's the bloody point of committing the sin of murder? First, there are no virgins in Heaven (just other souls without bodies), you couldn't have sex with them anyway, and besides, you're going to hell for the sin of murder.

All right, whatever. You want to be extreme in your religion, fine. But at least use a little common sense, and quit thinking with your mortal penis, because your mortal penis is lost to you when you die.

 

POINT 8:

To the extremists: LANGUAGES CHANGE OVER TIME, THEY EVOLVE, AND NO, MOHAMMED DID NOT SAY YOU GET VIRGINS IN HEAVEN

Go back to the definition/meaning of the words Mohammed used at the time he wrote them - because that is the ONLY way to translate (obviously, the man used the words and the meanings of the words for HIS time, not yours).

In the passage Osama and his thugs are pointing to in order to convince you that you're getting a bunch of eager virgins in Heaven? The word he's telling you means virgin actually meant GRAPES at the time it was written.

But hey, back in Mohammed's day, grapes were quite valuable. You could, after all, make wine. Even Jesus loved grapes. And I'm sure Abraham, Isaac and Jacob dug grapes, too. Even I, a lowly Christian, love that fruit of the vine.

So it's not so far fetched that Mohammed would promise grapes to believers. In that day and time, grapes were a pretty good reward for anybody (and when I was a kid, I'd have done almost anything for grape juice or grape jam or grape Bubble Yum - I LOVED anything that tasted like GRAPES!).

But if Osama and all the other terrorist nutjobs promised these young men GRAPES, chances are good most would refuse to blow themselves up. So he (Osama) had to come up with something a bit more enticing.

What does a young, hormone filled, Muslim man whose been denied even a glimpse of female calf want more than anything? SEX. (and this doesn't just apply to young Muslim men - it also applies to any male in the world between the ages of about 12 and 35, because they all have an abudundance of testosterone)

Osama is lying. IF you went to Heaven for the sin of murder, at best you would receive grapes (which is fine - you couldn't fornicate with a virgin because, as pointed out in POINT 7, you wouldn't have a penis anyway)

But remember, GOD said you shall not murder, and so murder isn't going to get you into Heavan in the first place.

 

POINT 9:

To extremists and regular Muslims: THE KILLING OF INNOCENTS IS FORBIDDEN BY ISLAM

In Afghanistan, innocents were massacred by the Taliban regularly. If your beard wasn't long enough - you were killed. If you were a woman who needed a gallon of milk for your children and there was no male relative to get it for you, so you went to the store yourself - you were killed. If you were a woman and the wind blew your scarf away from your face and some guy saw it - you were killed.

In Iraq, if you were a Shite or a Kurd during Saddam's reign of terror, there was a good chance you'd be killed (or your mother raped in front of you before the two of you were killed)

In Iraq NOW, if you are a Shite or Kurd or Sunni, and if you want a job on the police force or if you have coffee in a coffee shop, or if you're a little child on a school bus going to kindergarten, there's a good chance you'll be killed.

In fact, in Iraq, it doesn't matter what you're doing - you have a good chance of being TARGETED for murder.  

NOT by Americans (or Christians or Jews), but by MUSLIM TERRORISTS (who, btw, we do not consider Muslims - because these people carry out their terror for their own greed and goal of domination - not for God).

Every day, TERRORISTS INTENTIONALLY MURDER and SLAUGHTER innocent Muslims.

Why? Because they want control of Iraq.

POINT 10:

To extremists and regular Muslims: THE US AND ENGLAND DO NOT WANT CONTROL OF IRAQ

Not once has the coalition attempted to outlaw Islam or force Muslims not to worship. In fact, the coalition has not interfered at all in your ability to worship.

Only the Muslim extremists have placed demands on the way and times you worship - and our goal is to allow you to worship however you choose, without interference by anyone, even those who falsely claim to be Muslim.

We don't want Iraq's oil. We've never had an issue paying for the oil we purchase (though prices right now are a bit hideous and I drive a lot less than I used to).

If this war was about oil, trust that we've already spent enough money to PURCHASE the country outright. In fact, we could have BOUGHT IRAQ a couple times over with all the money we've spent getting Saddam and the terrorists out of Iraq (and don't think greedy Saddam wouldn't have sold us every square inch of that country if the price was right).

If our goal was merely to control Iraq, we would have carpet bombed the entire country and taken over. It would have been that easy. And we have enough people in this country who'd love a good job in the oil industry, that we wouldn't have had any problem staffing.

Why would we have spent so much money and American lives, and gone to such lengths to protect the people of Iraq from the terrorists, when we could have literally destroyed all opposition in a matter of 24 hours, for way less money?

The answer? Obviously, since we have gone to great lengths to do as much as possible to keep civilian casualties as low as possible, and since we're training the Iraqi people to fight the terrorists on their own, and since we're piling money into the country in the hope of getting the hell out of the country - well, we must be doing it so the IRAQI PEOPLE have control (rather than the terrorists or even us!).

POINT 11:

To regular Muslims: DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT IF THE US LEAVES IRAQ, THE TERRORISTS WILL STOP KILLING MUSLIMS?

If you think that, you're out of your mind, and here's why.

The terrorists in Iraq want control of Iraq. They do NOT want Iraq to have a government that works for the people. They do not want Iraqis to be free to live and worship how they choose. They want total control. They want to recreate the Taliban society that oppressed Muslims in Afghanistan and killed many Muslims.

If the US left right now, Iraq would become a police state, ruled by power hungry terrorists, who use their skewed translation of the scripture to control the average Iraqi and build a fortune in money and possessions for themselves, while the people suffer.

Osama was a perfect example. Instead of giving his billions of dollars to the poor and needy in Afghanistan, he spent all his money on weapons and bombs and attacks on innocent people.

Just imagine what good he could have done with those billions of dollars if he'd have lived according to God's scripture (and Mohammed's teachings).  How many children he could have fed, how much medical care he could have provided for everyone, how many books he could have purchased for schools so that the children in his country could be educated. Or better yet, he could have opened thriving businesses and provided jobs for the people, so they could afford all this themselves.

A God-fearing, God-loving man with billions of dollars would have used that money to help others, rather than to obtain his own personal goal of domination, while murdering innocents.

If the US leaves now and lets these terrorists get a foothold, the Middle East (and Muslims) are screwed.

 

POINT 12:

For the average Muslim: WE CAN'T LEAVE IRAQ UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE

We want the hell out of Iraq, but we will not (canNOT) leave Iraq in the hands of the extremists. Let's be real - Osama and his henchmen will be as bad as (if not worse than) Saddam. It would be cruel to leave Iraq in their hands.

At what point are all the Muslims of Iraq and the Middle East going to emphatically decry the INTENTIONAL brutal slaughter of innocent Muslims by the Muslim terrorists?

 

POINT 13:

To regular Muslims: WE WANT OUT OF IRAQ! LIKE, YESTERDAY ! BUT WHEN WE LEAVE IS UP TO THE IRAQIS

We want out. And as an American taxpayer who is helping to fund the troops over there, as well as the rebuilding of the country, yesterday wouldn't be soon enough.

But we aren't going to leave until Iraq is stable and being run by the regular, non-violent people of Iraq.

There's really only one solution, and Iraqis (mostly Muslim) hold the key.

See, as long as some Iraqis cower in their houses and allow the terrorists to move their headquarters into your neighborhoods, or carryout their slaughter of your neighbors and duly elected officials, and little kids on the school bus, then the terrorists will thrive, and the coalition will remain - to protect you and prevent the terrorists from making you part of a country that even the Taliban would have been afraid of.

Iraqis must CHOOSE to protect themselves, and that means standing up to the terrorists.

So if you really want the US out, quit shielding the terrorists. Take a stand. Fight as hard for your freedom as we do. Together, we'll destroy terrorism in Iraq, and when that's done, baby, we're out of there.

Until the Muslims in Iraq and the Middle East stand up to terrorism and terrorists and take control of it, we're stuck with each other.

And for Muslims who like to complain and who don't live in the Middle East, like Dr. Waheed, put your money where your mouth is. You want to protect Iraqis? You mourn their deaths? Then for God's sake, instead of inciting young men to hurt innocent non-Muslims, incite them to fight the terrorists who are actually killing the innocent Iraqis so the REAL IRAQI people can leave in peace.

 

POINT 14:

To Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan: IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE, YOU MUST FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM

And no, I do NOT mean you must fight the US. As I've already stated, we're ready to leave as soon as you are capable of defending yourselves against terrorists.

Because the terrorists have threatened (and attacked) us and our allies (9-11, 3-11, and 7-7, not to mention all the other attacks against us all over the world by Muslim extremists), we have little choice but to take the terrorists out.

As long as you choose not to take any responsibility for your own protection against terrorist forces who would take control of your country (and out of your hands), we'll fight them for you. And we'll fight them for our own protection.

So until you're willing to take responsibility for your own protection, don't complain when we protect you. And don't blame us for protecting ourselves.

Allowing the bad guys to dominate your neighborhoods out of fear is unfathomable to the average American. If there is a bad guy in our neighborhood, we call the police. And if the police won't remove them, we take care of the problem ourselves. But under no circumstances will the average American live in fear in their own home.

I understand that the people of Iraq lived in fear under Saddam (and the people of Afghanistan lived in fear under the Taliban) for so long, they may not be able to comprehend the true meaning of freedom. What is the true meaning of freedom? It means you have fight for it; that you're free to fight for it and that you will fight for it at all costs because it's that important to you.

Lives will be lost in your fight for freedom. It may be you, your spouse or your children. Obtaining freedom ultimately requires great risk, and sometimes, even the ultimate sacrifice. But it's the only way to gain your freedom (ask us, we've been there, done that - and many an American and British mother have given the lives of their children for YOUR freedom).

And as soon as the terrorists are wiped out or apprehended, and as soon as Iraq and Afghanistan aren't under constant threat of takeover by nutjob terrorists (or as soon as the people of these countries are capable of handling the threat and do handle the threat), then we'll gladly leave.

But we care about you and your freedom enough to stay until the people of these countries can protect themselves and remain free.

I assure you that the vast majority of American and British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq do NOT want to be there. I can also guarantee you that the vast majority of American and British soldiers are willingly fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq because they believe Muslims in these countries deserve to be free from the domination of terrorists.

 

POINT 15:

To average Muslims: NEITHER YOU  NOR THE CHISTIANS OR JEWS SHOULD ALLOW ANY EXTREMIST TO DIVIDE US

In a New York Times article, Dr. Waheed of England, in response to the bombings in Londona said:

"We know that the killing of innocents is forbidden," Dr. Waheed said. "But we don't see two classes of blood; the blood of Iraqis is just as important to us as English blood." He emphasized that they in no way condoned the bombings. "But when you understand things from that perspective, why should we condemn the bombing?"

All right, Dr. Waheed, since you don't seem able to figure this one out on your own, I'll help you:

The INNOCENT Iraqi blood being shed in Iraq today is being shed by OTHER MUSLIMS (or so that's what they call themselves). It is the Muslim extremists who are maiming and slaughtering innocent Iraqis. NOT Americans or the British.

And American and British forces are targeting both Iraqi and NON-IRAQI terrorists. Not civilians.

I totally agree with Dr. Waheed - the killing of innocent Iraqis is wrong. And so is the killing of innocent British, Americans, and anyone else.

So instead of agitating the situation, why don't you take responsibility as a Muslim leader and help teach these impressionable young men that it is wrong to not only spill Muslim blood, but the blood of Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddists?

If people like Dr. Waheed would quit inciting young men to commit the sin of murdering innocents, then perhaps the terrorists who would gladly spill both Muslim and Christian blood, would not divide us.

When we allow the extremists/terrorists to divide us, we are all doomed to more blood and death of innocents.

When Christians and Muslims stand together to rid the world of nutjob terrorists (regardless of the religion of the nutjob terrorist), we can beat them and live as God (and Mohammed) intended - peacefully, together.

We should all - regardless of religion - condemn EVERY attack on innocents, no matter whom the attacker.

And for those who may not be able to comprehend this on their own, there's a huge freaking difference between a war against terrorists (where civilian deaths are caused by terrorists because they hide behind civilians like bloody cowards), which is a righteous war, and a war to get a brutal dictator out of control (which is also a righteous war), and a terrorist bombing a school bus or coffee shop because they thrive on death and control.

 

POINT 16:

For normal Muslims: YES, CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND MUSLIMS ARE DIFFERNT, IN THAT THEY WORSHIP DIFFERENTLY. BUT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.

No matter your favorite prophet or whether or not you believe the Messiah has come, the foundation of all 3 religions is GOD.

And it's the same God. And we are all - regardless of religion or lack thereof - God's children.

And how we, as individuals, choose to worship (or not to worship) is between the individual and GOD. Not the individual and the Taliban. Not the individual and Osama. Not the individual and the terrorists in Iraq who are killing babies and men walking to work. Not the leaders of Chrisitan cults who would force others to worship their way.

One of the most difficult things God asked us to do is have FAITH. Faith is not tangible. It's not physical. It can sometimes be difficult to maintain.

It's a belief in God and His righteousness, His power to forgive even the greatest of sinners, and His power to overcome evil.

Faith is about letting go of what we want and putting it all in God's hands.

Faith is about worshipping God in your way, and leaving the rest to God.

What faith is NOT?

You have lost your faith when you quit believing God is the ultimate power or allow some mere man to have control of your beliefs and your heart.

You have lost your faith when you quit trusting God to His own judgment.

 

POINT 17:

To all Muslims: THE EXTREMISTS ARE PREVENTING GOD FROM WINNING

Until the day we die, we have an opportunity to come to God, to become a believer, and to live according to God's holy laws.

Many people, throughout all time, have come to God later in life, either because they weren't raised to know him, or because they strayed (as humans tend to do occasionally).

God is not only a vengeful God, but He is a loving and forgiving God, who welcomes ALL his children into His fold (regardless of race or religious brand), and who rejoices whenever a soul finds Him or returns to Him.

When a terrorist-extremist of any religion takes a life prematurely (before God takes them Himself), if that person is not a believer, that person has lost a chance to find God or come back to God. And God has lost a chance to win over Satan (or evil) by claiming that soul for Himself.

We all know God loves all his children, and that nothing makes Him happier than a lost soul finding their way to him - or finding their way back to him.

When we allow terrorists-extremists to take lives in the name of Islam (or Christianity or whatever religion), we are allowing them an opportunity to take a soul away from God - who might have found God or come back to God, had the terrorist-extremist not interferred in God's plan.

When any of us allows terrorist-extremists to win, we allow them to steal from God that which is rightfully His - the right to take the life, and the right to win the soul.

And there's a big difference in a man who kills to defend his family and keep them safe and prevent terrorists from killing innocents, and the terrorist who kills in the name of any religion just because they want to be in control and hurt other people.
