Hmmm. "Army of God"? Not Christian? You can rationalize them out of your religion and make yourself believe it maybe. But not me. And they're back in the news:

I see you believe in the printed word...good.

Then maybe you'll believe the printed words in the Koran promote retribution for transgressions and the printed words in the New Testament promote forgiveness for transgressions.

The Qura'n says: "If anyone transgresses against you requite him with an exactly like action and restrain yourself for Allah; and know that Allah is with those who so restrain themselves" (Surah 2:194).

Was this sign an attempt to shed more heat than light? Probably. I support this church's right to compare quotes, but couldn't they have found a nastier one in the Koran? A quote about restraining oneself is not representative of Islam!
