I despise the extreme interpretations of Islam that lead to violence against all non-Muslims. However, not al Muslims are extremists.

We all need to be careful that we do not let our hatred for extremists and extremism spill over to all Muslims. I am totally opposed to Islam and believe it to be a dangerous religion, but I am not sure we should let our emotions run away with our reason.

I am firmly behind our war with Iraq, but as a Christian I have to struggle with God's commandments to love all people. We should be fighting extreme Islam with weapons, but we should be fighting the religion of Islam with the truth of the Gospel of Christ.

Don't bother accusing me of being soft on Islam. I am simply struggling with being a Christian, who is called to love my enemies, and being an American patriot who wants to destroy my enemies.

It does not matter not all Germans in world war 2 were bad. But all Germans were the enemy!

"I am firmly behind our war with Iraq, but as a Christian I have to struggle with God's commandments to love all people."

This is probably not a verbatim quote, but I believe that Jesus said something along the lines of, "Love knows no greater friend than he who would lay his life down in defense of another."
