God First

While I do wholeheartedly disagree that Islamic violence is any kind of answer, I do have to say that I am one who considers myself a CHRISTIAN first, then an American, similar to the Islamists who say they are Islamic first, British second. Since God is SUPPOSED to be our supreme allegiance, I see nothing wrong in that.

I do also see that not ONLY the west but the entire world has become decadent and God hating. But blowing them up is NOT God's answer and never has been. A thorough study of the Bible will show that the vast majority of the times Israel attacked and destroyed other nations was when they themselves had either been attacked already or were about to be. The same applies now, in this day and time. The hatred between Israel and Islam began with Isaac and Ishmael and was reborn with the raising up of Mohammed as a counterfeit to Christ.
