But I really do think we (A) have to choose our battles especially early on.
Or
(B) have to have the fortitude, the means, the spiritual, emotional, social, political, national UMPH to go for broke against virtually the whole world. . . . I wonder if even Canada would stand with us or Britain. . . . if we said, look--the religion is violent. . . .Any religionist who's acted out or shown sympathy with such religious teachings will be wiped from any further chances of such violence. . . terminally.
I just don't think it's viable even if Bush AND ALL HIS CABINET AND ALL REPUBLICANS IN BOTH HOUSES AND EVEN 3 MEDIA OUTLETS ALL CHEERED HIM ON.
But I DO STRONGLY BELIEVE God has PLENTY up HIS SLEEVE for doing away with the whole Islam problem and that HE WILL DO IT in HIS OWN TIME but rather dramatically and in HIS OWN somehow redemptive way.
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Matthew 28: 18-20
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3: 16-17
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou me?

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you…

John 14: 6
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14: 23
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14: 26-27
Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 15: 12
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

John 15: 18
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye not be troubled: for all those things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
But he that shall endure until the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 24: 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 29, 30, 35, 36
From the revelation of St. John:
And after this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they day and night before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7: 9-10, 13-17

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6: 9-13
