My cousin's wife told this scenario told by her Dad long before we started having terrorist problems (so it wasn't a Johnny Come Lately story) and he told it as it was a common (not a one time or unusual) event to have had the fire pinched out of you as he walked down the street.
Of course you don't take one event and make a generalization of it. He wasn't. He told it was a common everyday event every time they (not just him) went out in the streets and it was done by the vast majority of people.
Soldiers today tell of not being able to take their Bible's with them to the Middle East. They can't wear any religious medals. The woman soldiers are asked to wear the "veil" and are asked not to go out without a male escort. And these demands are coming from the Saudi's --our so-called friends who have invited us there to protect them from Iraq.
Sunday, 16 Christians in Pakestan were mowed down IN CHURCH. These were native people from Pakistan. These were men, women and babies worshiping in church---innocents targeted because of their religion.
This is religious intolerance of anything other than Islam.
They are trying their best to Make this a religious war--Islam against ALL others even Arab Christians. Why else target Arab Christians for a massacre?
