However, although few Muslims will choose to commit suicide in a Jihad, there is widespread support for the terrorists in the streets of the Muslim world, particularly in the Arab Muslim world. There was indeed dancing in the streets in almost every Arab country on September 11. Even in the New York and Chicago Arab communities.
I think that much of what this author says will prove to be true. We will catch bin Laden and some other terrorists. But we will entrap ourselves into an alliance with so-called "moderate" Arab countries which will do little to help us and will in fact continue to finance and support the terrorists. And thus the war will not go away or be won.
1) Islam is not a daughter of Judaism - Christianity IS. Islam is a perversion of both, instigated by the madman, Elijah Mohammed.
2) The Christian "daughter" he spoke of does NOT hate its mother. Biblical Christians honor the Jewish people as those chosen by God to give us His Word. You might say the mother hates the daughter, but it is a one-way hatred. The Spanish Inquisition, for one example, is an imposter daughter, a cult, persecuting the mother.
3) The crux; the heart; the summation of true Christianity, and their Gospel (good news) is that truth (or justice) and mercy cannot be separated. They are one in God, and He is perfectly just and perfectly merciful. It is an amazing truth that thrills my soul, and is not the crux of any other religion on earth.
