Or, perhaps more effectively, why don't you organize a troop of men and go over there to protect those innocent victims from Muslim fundamentalist violence?

People from the US did it in the 1930's to protect Spain from Franco's fascists. Neo-Nazis did it in Bosnia in the 1990's. I see no reason why Christians in the 2000's aren't over there protecting their fellows from the depredations of Muslim fascists. (No, I'm not comparing Christians to neo-Nazis... I'm sure there are hundreds of examples I could have cited, but that one came to mind.)

It's one thing to whine and pray about these sorts of problems. It's another to DO something about it that will actually have some effect.

You and I share differing views in this regard.

"It's one thing to whine and pray about these sorts of problems. It's another to DO something about it that will actually have some effect."

Throughout old/new testament the scriptures speak of the importance, and "effect" of prayer. To pray is to act. I'm not sure if you've ever had prayer answered. I have on countless occasions, and not always the way I wanted the Lord to answer, but He did nonetheless.

You don't have to fly to another continent to assist these "helpless" individuals. It is important to note that I have friends who are in other countries, whom I support financially, ministering to the needs of others. Furthermore, I'm guessing that right about now there are thousand of children around the world that are enjoying practical gifts that my fellow Christians and I have provided. Would you describe this as "DO"ing?

Samaritan's Purse does a lot of work in these countries, but it's not the same as a liberating force (army). Franklin Graham took a lot of abuse for calling 'a spade a spade' in regards to muslims, but he's been doing work amongst these countries in Africa, where the Christians are being decimated by the muslims, for decades now. If anyone understands the mindset of these people, he does.
