Forgiving is all fine and good, but it mustn't be allowed to interfere with determination to kill these monsters. The only message these monsters will perceive is that torturing and killing Christians is a no-risk proposition because they and their fellow Christians will just forgive you and let you go on your merry way to torture and kill some more of them.

I agree. Personally, I don't think I need to forgive. That's a particularly Christian thing (to me) and I'm not Christian. But I can appreciate it in someone else.

My feeling (after crying so much for this boy that I had to turn away from the computer), is that we should kill them all. I am trying to be better than that; that's why I think this child is a better person, spiritually, than I am, but my gut feeling is to get rid of them all, one way or another (no muslim immigration, war on terror, whatever).

"The only message these monsters will perceive is that torturing and killing Christians is a no-risk proposition...."

Your comment suggest that if Christians defended themselves against such violence instead of just forgiving, perhaps these "monsters" wouldn't be so blatant in their ungodly behavior. I disagree. Muslims, by nature of their religious beliefs, adhere to violence and oppression. Defending oneself against them wouldn't deter them.

It should be understood that there is a distinction between turning the other cheek, and possessing the right to defend yourself. Christians have a right to defend their freedom, family, and property. The difference is in the cause of Christ. When going out to proclaim Christ, rest assured that you will be persecuted. But the Lord does not instruct us to physically destroy those which we are proclaiming the gospel to.
