Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
With this latest report that a Christian Pastor is facing execution in Iran if he doesn't renounce his faith, we're reminded how vicious and archaic Middle Eastern Muslim governments are, as well as some here too.
We're not just at risk from terrorists who crash planes into buildings or insert explosives into their cavities. They are waging a holy war against us. From "honor" killings on American soil to random people in foreign streets burning the American and Israeli flag side-by-side, to slaying after slaying after slaying of innocent non-Muslims, we are being targeted for our beliefs (and our freedom afforded to us by the hard work and sacrifices of our founding fathers and military).
I do believe that we should not be the world's police force. We can't even keep track of the crime on our streets, and refuse to enforce the immigration laws on our books. That said, we need to protect our own. The progressives are actively trying to make us forget the proud Judeo-Christian tradition in this country---not just in our beliefs, but also the founding documents that gave first live to our nation which contained philosophy and beliefs stemming from (gasp) religion.
If we can't unite with other Christians around the world to put an end to oppressive and evil regimes that would have an innocent man executed like it's still the middle ages, then we don't deserve to be called Christians. I doubt even Jesus would die for that sin of passive non-involvement.
All the church bake sales in the world won't wash the blood off our hands if we let the persecution of Christians here and abroad to go unchecked. It certainly doesn't help when Obama goes to Muslim countries waving his little olive branch and apologizing for our nation's mistakes--it gives them cover.
We should pray for the life of pastor Yousef Nadarkhani and all the Christians living in hiding in dangerous parts of the world. But our involvement shouldn't stop there. God expects us to help our brothers in need, otherwise we will be letting all of their prayers go unanswered.
