Those are two different subjects, honey.
US involvement in Iraq is Political, not Religious.
And, anyway, Islam is a cult, not a Religion.
Merry Christmas!!!!

U.S. involvement in Iraq has to do with oil. If it was about religion, then why didn't we help the people being slaughtered, raped, burned alive, or tortured every day in Sudan? If the US is against Islam, then why are we such good friends with Saudi Arabia? Faith has nothing to do with it, except that we Americans will swallow any bait having to do with faith, and go kill others willingly. The president knows that and employs it to his advantage. Nietzsche said there are two instruments of the state to keep the people ignorant, fearful and obedient. The first is the schools, and the second, the churches.

before i answer ur question (soonly) is not proper English. Soon is the adverb.
Islam is the religion of all prophets and messengers. it's the religion of Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad( peace b upon all the prophets) . that's because Islam means submission to Allah the only god.
Islam states that all books and prophets sent by Allah tried to convey the same message. It is like a long chain that supports its pieces.
what is happening in Iraq and other parts of the Muslim world such as in the holy land of Palestine, is a real shame and injustice. people are being killed in the name of democracy and justice. innocent women and children are being slaughtered in the name of modernity. If democracy could speak, it would denounce all atrocities committed in its name.
Islam is the religion of peace, love and compassion. but Islam is being attacked and slaughtered almost every where. Humanity is losing a pivotal component of its construction when Islam is attacked.
but we Muslims believe that Allah has decreed on himself to preserve this region. so believe me I'm not gravely worried about what is happening, since this religion is the religion of peace and justice, it will get Justice on the hand of Muslims or the hands of Allah if Muslims do not live up to the challenges facing them.
peace.

These countries as it was said in the Bible will be at war until the end. It is sad that there people have to suffer!
But it is written.........they will suffer for denighing Jesus!
Paul, the earliest of the New Testament authors (writing in the 50s C.E.), explained the Jews' failure to embrace Jesus by positing that just as Pharaoh's heart had been hardened, so now a "part" of Israel (that is, the larger part) had become hardened, temporarily preventing Jews from accepting God's work in Jesus (Romans 11:25). Following Paul's line of thought, the author of Luke-Acts, in a two-volume work specifically intended for gentile members of the sect, carefully identified Jesus, his family, and his followers as "faithful Israel" (Christians), which he contrasted with "failed Israel," defined as any Jew who did not follow Jesus. To validate the sect's Jewish legitimacy while explaining why most Jews demonstrated no interest in joining, Luke posited that "faithful" Jews did join; only those Jews who were essentially hostile to God "rejected God's purpose for themselves" (Luke 7:30).
In short, the New Testament authors divided the world into "us" and "them." But because the sect was originally Jewish, that us-them division was expressed as a division among Jews: in effect, between good Jews and bad Jews.

All of the 3 Major religions are coming from the Judaism.
Islam was formed by Mohamed who was a profit.It is supposedly teaching good but there are many acts of violence in Curran that are interpreted by the Muslims as follow " If you are not a Muslim you must become one.If you do not want to you must die"
So,this is their problem with the rest of the world.

In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate Ever Merciful
Aim of Islam is to guide the people to the way of Lord...so that they submit there will to the Will of Lord.
