Bible Note: Hi, Your frustration is shared by many... I suspect that we have been trained to be tolerant of people and we are blindsided by their duality... I recall that on September 11, and the days following, the general population of many arab nations were filmed rejoicing on the streets over the destruction that befell the US; these people did not seem to be Islamic extremists: they were middle age adults, young adults, and children... they chanted and cheered and burnt US flags! Conversely, these same people and their terrorist murdering friends and relatives would not raise their voice to their own kinsmen--the likes of Saddam and the various ruling families--under whose horrific oppression they starve to death or are tortured to death, despite of the arab nations' control of the wealthiest petroleum deposits in the world... Noticed how not even the western media finds any fault at any of their actions... they come to the US only to spread their hatred for the "infidels" (check news magazines such as 20/20 on indepth study of Islam in the US); these infidels are none other than Israelites and Christians--to be objective, they have killed both Christians and non-Christians in the past--equal murder opportunity, I guess. It is interesting to hear some of them speaking on street corners (US Muslims)... how proud they are that Islam is getting more power... they can't wait for it to be as it was: when infidels were decapitated on site if they did not convert! They also pronounce joyfully how they do everything that Christians do not do! It is the anti-Christ culture that is sweeping the world... most people seem not to want to believe--even as they become more bold and more violent! God Bless! Angel |
