Appreciate the responses. Yes there are many different reasons for Chrisitans to say silent but I dont think that the majority of Christians belong to a denomination that is against any fighting for good reasons. Yes, Jesus showed us how to be forgiving and look for the best in people, but that did not rule out condemning sin and fighting against evil. In fact we have a duty to be soldiers in helping to spread this message and fight against those who use force to keep people from making their own free will choices. Christians do not use force to convert people (not recently anyway) but should use force to protect their rights to learn freely.
I beleive too many Christians have only heard watered down teachings and have lost the passion and understanding of the Bible actually tells us. Why do we have emotions like anger if there is no good purpose for it. We all appreciate emotions like Love.Could our emotions help guide us and help us to understand our Creator (in his image) ? His Love and patience has certainly given me hope many times in my life. His anger against sin and evil certainly should help us to understand how we should feel and help us stand up in his name. The same as we would for our own family if attacked. Islam is attacking our beliefs and telling us not to follow the Bible but follow the Quaran..

In the last days those Christians who never take sides will be forced to take sides. Perhaps that time to choose is now or very soon.

Peace does not allows come without first a fight. !!! Our nation was founded on that principle along with belief in G-d.

Hello SeekingTruth,

That is an absolute fact. In the meantime, all Christians varying from wimpy to bold will be criticized. We are already seeing the escalation of discrimination and persecution of Christians by the hour. I, for one, will at least try to stub the devil's toe along the way. AND, the LAST way is either quickly approaching or already here.

Love In Christ,
Tom
