So as a result you condemn millions of innocent people to oppression?

Read your own tagline, and apply it to the people of Iraq.

Or is it only you who should be the recipient of God's love because you were born in America? If you were born in Iraq and some 'Christian' in America said you deserved to be oppressed, how much would you be drawn to his faith?

Have you even thought this through?

I am not doing it, they are doing it to themselves. I cannot force people to take the narrow gate. If you ever want to get a tiny glimpse at how God must have felt during Old Testament times, just look at Iraq. The right way is there, it is so obvious to us. But Muslims will not take the narrow gate.

I can't force people to do the right thing. If I could, it would raise interesting ethical questions: should we force people to do the right thing, or allow them to make their own mistakes? But that question is moot, because you can't force them to do the right thing.

Or is it only you who should be the recipient of God's love because you were born in America? If you were born in Iraq and some 'Christian' in America said you deserved to be oppressed, how much would you be drawn to his faith?

I never said they deserve to be oppressed, but I did say that as Muslims they will create an oppressive government for themselves. Like it or not, we're going to have to let the slow work of spreading the Gospel to lay the foundation before we build a civil society in Iraq. This will take decades, even centuries. You've gotten the cart before the horse.
