Reader comment on article: Arabs Disavow Hizbullah
in response to reader comment: many at different times

Submitted by donvan (United States), Feb 14, 2007 at 10:43

As a combat vet of a war long since over, and the memories have become weakend by time, we both know the tragic consequences of violence and conflict. As a christian, I am obligated to love those who hate me and do good to those who would do harm. Yet I was in war, and completely determined to kill the enemy of my country.

I am not a good Christian, when I hear the Muslim clerics demanding that the Muslims kill the infidel,kill the Jews, that Israel be destroyed, that the US be destroyed, etc,etc, loving Muslims becomes a challenge. In any event, I pray for your continued safety, and the peace of Christ for you and your family.
