It doesn't take much time to realize that the way America portrays Islam is wrong.
Find out the truth about Islam.
Also, love your enemies.

Non-violence
In an attempt at making peace, in 1991 Mother Teresa wrote this to George Bush and Saddam Hussein:
"I beg you with my whole heart to work for, to labor for God's peace and to be reconciled with one another. In the short term there may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread, but that never can, nor never will justify the suffering, pain, and loss of life which your weapons will cause. Please choose the way of peace. You may win the war but what will the cost be on people who are broken, disabled, and lost?"
"Many peoples shall come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore."
-Isaiah 2:3-4 (NRSV)

Iraq war casualties
As of recently, approximately 4100 American deaths have been recorded. Also, something that is not mentioned in the news, is that approximately 100,000 Iraqi people have been killed in the war.
4100 Americans and 100,000 Iraqis. Scary numbers. Is oil really this important? Would God want us to take these measures to "secure" our nation? And we want to spend more money and more time here which would result in more casualties.
Fun fact: If America stopped making weapons for one week, we would have enough money to feed the whole world for a year.
May the peace and love of God find a way to manifest itself in the hearts of christians worldwide and may we continue working towards a world of community, peace, and happiness for all individuals, not just Americans.
God bless Iraq. Amen.
