There is no secret why there is so much fighting in th middle east- the people there worship satan. Only through accepting Jesus can they know peace. Don't you think we should be sending emmisaries there to make the Iraqis see the light and worship Jesus- rather than satan?

You can't force monotheist to worship zeus on gun point. There is actually not fight among Iraqis. This is war against US invasion. your soldiers have no balls to defend themselves. Most of them are wicked and rapist. How can you convince them to worship three gods instead of ONE.

Ok i am saying this as a devout Christian. NNNNOOOOOO!!!! they do not worship satan, just because they do not worship the exact same god as you does not mean that it must be satan they worship. you should actually read the Koran. it is not a whole heck of a lot different that the bible, in fact they believe that jesus was a profit. and Jesus would never ever EVER support forcing people to believe in him. that would be a lie of faith and would pretty much condemn them to hell. forcing anyone to believe in any religion does nothing other than breed hatred of that religion. it is never ok it is never what god wants it is never the right thing to do. i pray that you will change your thinking in you faith, because it is an incorrect thinking. Christ is love not judgment, Christ is compassion, not hatred.
lastly the original Sanskrit word for god years later was translated into Hebrew Yahweh and the Muslim Allah, they are the same word, they mean the same thing. I Am.

Are you forgetting that it is not Satan but rather God they are worshipping? It is the same God that Christians worship, but the forms of worship and the lines of demarkation about "God's chosen people" differ - just like you can read in the Bible, in the Old Testament which describes a series of bloody mayhem and murder of "God's chosen people" who killed and raped and plundered their neighboring countries 'in the name of God'.
Of course, your proposed solution has been "tried and trued" for centuries: Yes, "WE" have sent emisssaries to the pagan countries and MADE them accept Jesus - at gunpoint or swordpoint, or by fire.
Neither Christians nor Islamians/Muslims are seeing the light - they both have their heads stuck into the holes of their religion.
No - the blind leading the blind won't work here - This 'quoted' as the words of the Jesus you worship - against his will, btw. He never wanted to be worshipped - nor accepted.
What we should do is boycott any religion and/or prejudice. Allow for ONE God which exists not 'out there' somewhere but in and with each one of us.

dude give it a rest just because your a jesus freak doesn't mean we all have to be jesus freaks i am sorry but your totally wrong on this one maybe if we weren't trying to impose our government upon another country we wouldn't be in this mess if you so badly want to spread the word about jesus in the middle east be our guest I'm sure the people of the middle east would be very receptive , just because someone believes a different religion does not make them wrong it makes them different from you which is fine in my book I'm glad that everyone isn't a religious fanatic they'd be much more war if there was more extremists like you

hahahahahaahhahahahaha...you are so funny....why don't we worry about this life before we worry about a possible afterlife...this one is here, the other one is a maybe....just treat people as human beings and worship in your own house....like Christians are the peaceful ones....don't mix war with religion...it's like a match and a room filled with gasoline, but you have an agenda as well, to make us all in YOUR image...I like your use of the word "make"....isn't that like "force" them to worship Christ...I'm sure Jesus would smile at you for doing that. Will you also set up an inquisition to extract confessions and punish the heathen by painful, burning death.
Thoughts like yours make me believe that the religious Right in America really is something to be feared and guarded against...thank God you aren't smart enough to hide your agenda

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

What!? So if they don't want to convert, you'll kill them? They happen to worship Allah not satan. Anyway if they became Christians some of them would just become Christian fanatics and they would keep killing each other just like the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland did for years.

You know, Iraq is a theocracy. Their country is exactly what ours would be like if we turned America into one, like you want to do.
Muslims don't worship Satan. And trying to convert them would only make them more angry and wouldn't work anyway. It doesn't matter what religion you are, evil people will find excuses to be evil. History has proven that.

Why would it, since it hasn't brought an end to religious extremism in this country. Or don't you think the murder of abortion doctors, the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building, or the murder of four little Black girls in a church bombing in Alabama a few years back or the beating death of a gay high school student constitute religious extremism? The perps all said they did it out of religious conviction!

missionaries-good idea
forcing people to believe Jesus-bad idea
We can only through it out there, Christianity is a religion of choice, take it or leave it. Christianity emphasizes free will and the responsibility of mankind. So, yes, we should show the world Jesus, but not make them believe, we cant and shouldnt try to do that.
