Sorry, I'm still not clear on what truth it is you think I'm avoiding. That black Muslims exist and often speak of "white devils" is a fact; what makes you think I'd deny it? But do we know yet whether the soldier in this case is black?

I'm as concerned with the truth as anyone, as much so as yourself I daresay. But I'm also interested in winning, which means changing people's minds. The trick is to speak the truth with love; telling the truth is not really an excuse for being presumptuous about people's assumptions and insulting about their motives.

I'm not a preacher, by the way, just an old history teacher.

to speak the truth with love

OK...my truth.

I'D "LOVE" TO SEE MOST OF THE MOON ROCK WORSHIPPERS AND THEIR COLLABORATORS HERE SENT STRAIGHT TO HELL IN A BUCKET!

Is that better?

Btw...I saw his pic...black....adopted Islam.

I know where you are coming from....the "Be Nice" type of Christian perspective. I know it well, it's apostate to me and infects the bulk of Protestantism.

Neither I nor our country can afford that indulgence. I prefer the Onward Christian Soldiers spirit myself....and you can throw a few right minded Jews in there with us. Hagee in San Antonio or Kennedy in Orlando are more to my flavor of Christianity...where there are rules and consequences and for G-d's sake there's more to it than being "nice" or having "good" thoughts ala a Jimmy Carter "baptist".
