“By no means do we want to minimize their concerns. Mennonites understand persecution.”

But they also believe it is their calling to build peace, he adds."

BS, Mennonites don’t have a clue about what it is to be persecuted. Their idea of persecution is when people look at them funny for wearing silly clothes. They ought to go to Iran if they want to discuss things with people who would happily show them what real persecution is.

“Maybe we are naive, but maybe things come from people who appear misguided or naive.”

Yeah, ignorance and stupidity. Mennonites would all be dead if they had to live in Muslim countries. They are too dumb to defend themselves.

Study history before spouting off. Many Mennonites have been jailed and killed for their beliefs.

As someone from a Mennoite background myself, I can attest to their naivete, but don't sell them short on their dedication.
