I understand your response Gervase, but if I may say so, as a Christian living in the US, I don't believe in mob rule and lynchings etc. I'm not saying that you think all of us believe that, but in these times of anger and fear, I just wanted to make that point.

I've tried to stay out of these threads but somehow I keep getting drawn back. If you look through these threads people have been called a lot of names. I try to take into account the emotions that come with seeing a war played out on television for all to see. But it's hard when you see someone referred to as a Muslim piece of shit. He very well may be both, but certainly one did not precipitate the other. It's hard too when someone says that they believe that the war was necessary and is referred to as a warmonger. Name calling brings on more name calling and that certainly has held true in these threads. It's sad, because I not only understand the temptation but I have on occasion given into it. So this post is not meant to argue.....just to get my two cents heard....
