"If you can keep your love in God passionate and hold onto that faith, then anger and hate will stay in the shadows."--Jon Townsend, one of four U.S. soldiers killed in an insider attack in Afghanistan this weekend.
During this "Arab Spring" it's very easy to find yourself angry, hurt, and confused by the Islamic nations who many feel we've done a lot to help in the last decade. However, it's important to remember that the actions of terrorists and extremists do not reflect the attitudes of the overall Muslim population.
We are ALL God's children and as Christians it is our duty to love and honor the Muslim people just like anyone else--as Christ commanded us to do. Pray for peace and understanding for all those affected by this situation: that the families of victims will not turn to hatred, and that the Muslims who have been offended will understand that the stupid film which insulted Muhhammad was made by ONE MAN and does not reflect insensitivity in the entire American people.
(1 John 4:7, Philippians 4:7)
