That's nice. Such a peaceful religion.

There is a substansial portion of the Muslim population that feel this way.

A lot of the rules on how you treat people in Islam have been seen to be dependant on who is a member of the faith or not. People who aren't muslims who live under sharia law are required to pay an extra tax, and in some Islamic countries is it perfectly fine for a man to rape a woman if she isn't a muslim (or isn't wearing modest enough clothes). It doesn't seem much of a leap for an imam to claim that non-muslims deserve death.

How do you combat something like this? We know that the Gospel of Christ will be in all nations, but it's so amazing to me that this will happen in these Mid East countries (I'm sure the generation before me thought the same of the Soviet Union).

I remember when Pres Bush talked soon after 9-11 about how we will hunt down the terrorists and stop the killing of our countrymen. At the time, I was thinking that in order to do that, you would have to kill all the adults and put the kids in a program to un-brainwash them or something. They are taught this from their infancy.

Not that I'm especially fond of Muslims as a group, but I think that you'll find people in any religious group that use their religion to justify evil acts.
