Stop this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can not go and attack a religion because a few bastard fanatics twist it's teachings.

First, I must state that I do not know any of the Koran. I am a Christian. With that said I will go on.

I spoke with a very good friend last night who is a Muslim. One of my yearly highlights is to go on a weeks kayak
trip with Mohammed and some other friends. Mohammed is as kind and gentle a person as any that I have had the honor
to know. His respect for all life and creation is awesome. He also knows the Koran and I asked him some very
pointed questions about it. This is what he had to say and I believe him.

"No where does this book advocate violence against non Muslims. No where does this book mention Christians or Jews
as the enemy. This book is simply one that begs people to get closer to God and , like the Bible, focuses on love
and peace."

Countless other atrocities have been carried out in the name of Christ as well. Just study the history of Central
America or look to the United States history over the past 200 years. The very fabric of our western culture has
been shaped by people killing other people in the name of Christ. Hitler also used the Bible as a tool to lend
credence to what he did.

Please do not go and think that every Muslim believes in this Jihad. They don't!

As a Christian, there is only one path. That is to embrace all of God's children with love. The wonderful thing is
that this thread is also woven into the other major religions of today.

Yes, we do have enemies and I believe that they have turned away from God. Yes, we must stop this brutality and
take the offensive. But, we are no better than those that organized and carried out this mission against all of
civilization if we are to go and wage war against a religion and against a people that have the unlucky fortune to
be identified with these terrorists.

If we do wage war against Muslims and a people in general then the terrorists have won. Let's find out who did this
and stop them.
