I am
sorry my questions made you angry. This is the usual reflex action. We do not
like something, we feel anger and then we attack. Your attack on me personally
is clear by calling me "naive and asinine", and my thoughts as "naive, college
student like thinking".

I am
well past my college years. We live in an imperfect world. I think we need to
give this deeper thought. Perhaps we need to take military action but I wonder
in what manner. Perhaps this might involve a coalition with the Northern group
in Afghanistan and take control of the country and establish a democratic
government with NATO occupation. Then move on to other countries one by one.
This would all have to be done with the support of the moderate Muslims and
the rest of the world.

What
we do not want to do is polarize the Muslims to give the terrorists more
support.

TYPE="CITE">Throughout history groups have used God to support acts of
violence and killing. Although I am not a biblical expert, as
I recall, Jesus said something to the effect of 'if your enemy hits
one cheek offer the other'. The message of Jesus was peace and love,
that all people are God's children. Even in Jesus' last days, he took
the torture and death without action against his tormentors. I
am greatly grieved by the recent violence and feel anger. I am
having trouble reconciling the words and actions of Jesus and his
message of love with us acting out our anger with more violence and
killing. I wonder if God's test here is what we feel and do.
Perhaps this world is really not important. Perhaps the test is to see
if we take this and allow it to fill us with anger and act out with
violence and killing, or, to dissolve the anger and act with
forgiveness, peace, and love. Any constructive thoughts would be
appreciated. neo Neo, you asked for
constructive thoughts on what you just wrote. I don't think I can be
constructive in any way that would help you, but what you wrote in so naive
and asinine that I couldn't stop myself from writing back. I am sorry
... I know this is not the forum for this, but your thinking is so
dangerously deadly and self destructive that I have to respond. I
suppose if these guys were at your front door and ready to kill you, your
family, and your neighbors you would just let them ... go ahead just turn
your cheek. I suppose that if these guys were to come to your door and
raped your wife, sister, daughter, mother, and raped your ideology and way
of life you would let them ... sure just turn your cheek. You said
that you were not a biblical expert, and you sure are right about that.
Because the bible certainly allows for self defense. I don't
want this to become a biblical discussion, but the turn your cheek concept
has nothing to do with this. Neo, this response is not a personal
attack against you, but your naive, college student like thinking is
extremely dangerous. I apologize to the list for my off topic input
... But this are very strange times that requires a very strong stance.
Hope you all are with me and the rest of the country.
