Might be. Never been farther than Turkey. But total war is not Christian way, to my mind, or was dropped as such centuries ago. To my mind the better way is to guard borders and show them some real values, other than wealth and pop-culture. Euopean civilisation, a part of which America is, has something more valuable.
Neutralise the leaders, teach the rest.
There has been an influx of Artydomb's lately. Don't let anyone be fooled. Christianity is the one of the few things, if not the only thing standing in the way of Muslim domination. These folks are coming here and trying to give a WWJD crisis of conscience knowing how well that worked for liberals to get to where they have today. You have the right attitude silversky in telling this person they know not of what they speak. Muslims would use the HOLY Bible against its believers to creat a crisis of conscience, like I noted above, and while we sit indecisive and wringing our hands they'll be making their plans to get into our schools and murder and rape our children. I won't have it. I know what my Bible says. God encouraged his people to war many times--there are just wars--some of those were even offensive, which this war we wage with a culture that would destroy us is not--it is totally defensive. If I am wrong, God forgive me, but I won't stand by and watch children be slaughtered.
To be fair, middle easterners were screwed up when they were pagans 2000 years ago. Islam is a religion created by screwed up people sanctioning their screwed up minds and behavior.
