It occurs to me that this war between Islam and the Judeo-Christian world has been going on for centuries...it is just in "modern" times that we have the ability to easily travel world-wide and communicate with the "global society".
All the more reason to protect the "sovereign nation" more strenuously! Remember that song, "This Is My Country"? If I wanted to live in a country governed by Sharia law, or any other law, I would move there. But this is MY country, the land of the free, the home of the brave, and I'm not handing it over to any tin-pot dictators or any other radical socialist/religious zealots.
IMHO, those who would can bite our ankles and cause great pain and harm with their cowardly and deadly attacks, but they should prepare to reap the whirlwind...
No biblical scholar but I believe it’s been going on since Abraham’s sons Isaac and Ismael parted ways and or Ismael was forced out.
