One thing we have to remember, those of us who are Christian, is that no matter where we live in this world wheather it be the U.S., Russia, Iraq Great Britain, it doesn't matter where, we are all living in a place that is against our beliefs. We are strangers, whose only goal should be to live our lives soley for the purpose of Glorifing God. Only then will God be able to use us to further His agenda, not ours.

The Crusades? Are you mad? It is disturbing indeed if you're having those thoughts.

Don't you realize that this is a cycle? Acts of brutality have been perpetrated against Muslims as well, leading them to want "jihad." Which loosely translated, means "Crusade."

"Jihad" has become SLANG for "holy war" but it's original purpose was not so. Until around roughly late 19th century early 20th century did this come about.

"Jihad" actually translates to "Struggle". It's usage in the Kuran was for struggling against your own nature.
