If children are going to be traumatized by seeing this guy disrupt the service, how do you think they’d react to that? Why should it be necessary to point this out to mature and politically sophisticated adults? That would have made the “Christians” look worse than he did (and I don’t recall Jesus reacting that way). Are you savages on some remote island who kill people when they violate one of your taboos? (I’m surprised you have internet access.)

Perhaps you are not paying attention.

Islam is not only a repressive and brutal "religion", it is an extremely violent one. No one is off limits to their brutality.

Even the Mafia has certain rules of restraint. The Muslims do not.

Moreover, in the last year, the world has been witness to savage, brutal, horrific attacks.

Anyone yelling "Allah is Greater (than your Judeo-Christian God)" is, by both proven action and by hard evidence, a very probably mass murderer.

This guy did exactly that, in front of defenseless children.

At my church, we have to have very tight security. Just a few years ago, this would have been unheard of.

Furthermore, God has not ordained that his sheep be sent to the slaughter, and God allows for self defense:

"Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked."

Proverbs 25:26

Psalm 144:1

Does the name “SkyPilot” mean that you are a preacher, piloting people to heaven? (Don’t answer if you’d prefer not to reveal personal information?)

I notice that you’ve come up with some rather obscure quotations from the Bible (the Old Testament). Though I think a good argument can be made for Christians resorting to self-defense and to war too when justified, if you are at all familiar with the Bible, you must know that there are some very conspicuous — and repeated — statements by Jesus himself that seem to support non-violent responses (even to violence itself, not to mention something lesser). The idea that some Pharisee, for instance, would try to oppose Jesus, and that Jesus’s followers would draw their swords and hack him to death is clearly inconsistent with the spirit of the gospels.

We’re not talking about a violent attack here, just a person interrupting a Christian event and trying to proselytize for something else. To kill him or beat him up would be acting like savages.
