All Have Sinned-All Need the Love of Christ

Would you be content to say there is enough to all around here?

Starting with Islam's adventurism leading to the overthrow of the Crusader efforts in the Levant? Let us agree that an out of control religious exchange is what was at play then. So we can say that centuries before there was the United States, there Islam was in its processes of influencing the Middle East and south Asia to its ways. Will you tell me from your perspective in an area that uses the Arabic alphabet more than the Roman alphabet this is not true?

How many times did you say that the United States invaded any place that was not first someone else's problem? Who invaded Kuwait? Sure, we went into Iraq and decimated their armies; but how many Iraqis are buried by the hand of the Islamic revolution of Iran?

What is there to acknowledge? That Islam declared war on the United States based upon provocations neither side can prove: to be sure, both sides bear their own responsibilities and neither will come out clean.

But of the innocent lives (some American ones by your own assertions), these pale in comparison to histories pages being blood stained because too few acknowledge one thing: human religious rationale of any denomination can be used to justify the course of villainous actions-but the name of Jesus Christ being used for such justifications are just as blasphemous as one can get, especially if one does not recognize the truth of Jesus Christ command to love one another.

Which leads to the final question: do you think that the love of Jesus Christ is necessary to stop all the blood lust you are trying to use to prove your point?
