BAGHDAD

[Bobby777]

Like Sura (chapter) 29, Aya (verse) 46: " 'If you're dealing with a believer, you should work to resolve your conflicts peacefully,' " recites Lt. Col. King, a 40-year-old Lutheran from Arlington, Va., with a blond crew cut and a sura for every occasion.

Lutheran?

here's what the online koran said in 29:46

[29.46] And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit."

our God's are not the same person ...

[29.52] Say: Allah is sufficient as a witness between me and you; He knows what is in the heavens and the earth. And (as for) those who believe in the falsehood and disbelieve in Allah, these it is that are the losers.

[61.4] Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a firm and compact wall.

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[9.107] And those who built a masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Apostle before; and they will certainly swear: We did not desire aught but good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars.

they're ignoring these other verses ... as if they did'nt exist ...

So you think he shouldn't bother trying to relate to the Iraqi's?

[Bobby777]

I understand what you're saying ... the problem is, this fundamental difference cannot be ignored ... hence, in Saudi Arabia, where this was born and is most fervently promoted and based, no Jew can be a citizen, no Christian Church or Jewish Synagogue can be built or operated, no Bible study is allowed in one's home, and it is officially the dealth penalty to convert to any religion other than Islam ...

now, the Iraqis may not be so fundamental, but apparently many, many of them have been willing to sacrifice themselves like Arafat's goons in the West Bank and Gaza, et al ...

I think this a very, very, very difficult problem ... for which there are few answers ... I just don't want to see America penetrated like Great Britian, Frances, the Sudan or Israel ...

'If you're dealing with a believer, you should work to resolve your conflicts peacefully,' " recites Lt. Col. King
