Fitz, there are so few Christians in any Muslim country and to exercise your conscience and follow the Bible is to lead to certain death, sometimes having to watch your family tortured first. There are many ways for Christians to fight, esp. on our knees, but I don't think God calls all of us to stay and physically fight. But if there is no other way then we must be faithful even to a cruel death.
The Pilgrims didn't stay for further persecution where their freedom to worship was drastically curtailed but instead chose to found a new country and I'm glad they did. Islam and Christianity cannot coexist with Muslims in charge because Islam does not tolerate or value any sort of personal freedoms or anything that contradicts the Koran.

I think immigration from the Middle East to the USA should be limited to only those who are Christian and Jews who are leaving due to persecution from the Muslims --- we definitely don't need to take in any Muslims who are the ones persecuting the others, and who will eventually do the same here. Muslims don't believe in religious freedom --- freedom contradicts the Koran completely.
