I was unaware that Christian doctrine included conversion at the ‘point of a sword’. In fact I am certain that it does not. Neither is enforced religious conversion an American ideology consistent with freedom of conscience.
We don’t have to use the “point of the sword” to convert them (though there were a few of those in Europe during the dark ages that worked out okay...).
Kill their leaders (and I mean the Imams, too) and disrupt the organizations that prevent conversion and threaten the missionaries and the converts, then let events take their natural course.
We have a better message than the Moslems, if we can protect those who preach it and those who convert.
We preach in advance of the Army,
We skirmish ahead of the Church,
With never a gunboat to help us
When we’re scuppered and left in the lurch.
Pope Benedict begins his book Introduction to Christianity with just this subject. Central to it is credo or I believe. This he contrasts to Judaism and adherence to the Law or pre-christian Rome making ritual central to their religion. But Ann is not a Catholic.
