We are winning? How so?

This is not a conventional war. It is a war against men who seek with all their hearts to do the will of their god. I actually can't blame them. I seek the same thing regarding my God.

There are many Muslims who are not plotting my death, but they are not the most devout. It is the devout Muslims...those men who are sick and tired of just living selfishly and, because they believe there is a creator, they want to serve him.

Still, I can't find fault with that.

But the problem arises when they seek to devoutly serve Allah. When they seek Allah, they see the western way of life as decadent (and it is)...but, unfortunately, Allah's solution to this problem is quite different from that of Jehovah/Yeshua. Allah's solution is the destruction of the enemy. Jehovah/Yeshua's solution is forgiveness.

And therein lies the problem.

Are we winning this war? We in America (and certainly not in Europe) haven't even defined the enemy...how can we be winning?

You might want to mention that to...oh say Grand Ayatullah Sayyid Ali Husayni Sistani, or The Council of Muftis of the Chechen Republic Chechen Mufti Sultan Mirzaev...or Cpl. Mohammed N. Rahman...or the parents of Hatim Kathiria who died in Iraq if they are REAL devout Muslims
