Yes Theresa, You have made a very good point, invite them to leave on their own, and it would be good for nations to live in respect of One another and not hostility......Wouldn't that be great! Another important point that really takes precedence here is that because of the specific rules in the Koran that Muslims not take infidels for friends, lay way for them and ambush them,( which is in Sura IX, Immunity, ) there will be no peace as long as that is the command. There is no statement in the bible from Jesus that you should hate your enemies or do harm to them. He has asked us to pray for our enemies and do good to them. I'm sorry there is no way I can condone a religion that shuts out peace and happiness due to such rigidity and regulations, but I respect their right to worship in their own way as long as they don't promote violence, but sadly we are seeing quite the opposite from Radicals who incite the peaceful Muslims.
