Should we force "Jesus" on the Iraqi people?

Question

The Christians in America say we should force the Iraqi people to love Jesus because Islam is a false religion. If Iraq becomes a lover of Christ then it will spread to Iran and other middle East Countries and all will have peace.

Answer 1

I guess this being a military question, then you are suggesting the military be the "force" that forces the Iraqis to convert. I am sure that they would see their role as "military missionaries" as unsuitable, since they are not trained to do this (other than the chaplains). Under the present circumstances, this would lead to another conflict similar to the previous Muslim Jihads, in which the Muslims of all countries would unite to drive out the "military missionaries".
The very suggestion that anyone do this is indicative of someone who has not learned their History lessons. The separation of State and Church should stay that way - separated.

Answer 2

How can you force something on people when you dont even understand them in the first place . Did you know that the muslim people( their book Koran) has more respect for Jesus ( aka ISA in their langage) then the christians in USA, since jesus to them is a phophet, so in other words They already LOVE jesus they just dont Worship him as the flocks of birdbrains.

before asking such a question like this why dont you learn something about their religion and BTW if Christians think that forcing their belief on others is a good thing, they are no different then the terrorists, forcing is another way of terrorism .

Answer 3

You cannot force Jesus on anyone. Islam is a religion of hate. Study the Koran if you will. Will tell you a lot. There are Christians in Iraq, however they are persecuted badly. I believe you are misinformed about Christians in America.

Answer 4

Obviously you are one of the many clueless ones. There have been Christians in muslim countries for years. There are even Christian churches in Iraq TODAY. You can't FORCE anyone to believe. Your biblical knowledge is seriously lacking because there will be NO peace in the Middle East until the return of Christ.

Answer 5

Anyone who thinks that forced religious conversion is a way to bring peace has obviously failed to study the last 2000 years of history.

There is perhaps no single more foolish thing to do than to try and force religion on a group that already has strong religious conflicts between sects. And no single bigger way to rally the entire Middle East against us.

Answer 6

You cannot force anyone to accept any religion. You can only force them to act as though they accept to stay alive!
Would Jesus really want anyone to try & force belief in him on anyone? That is not what Christians are supposed to do.
I was told not to speak of my religion to others, to live my life in such a way that they would ask & then I could freely tell them of my faith. I have found that to be about the best way to live my life with a lot less stress & am able to keep friends because I have not tried to force my faith on them.

Answer 7

most americans claim to be Christians then why do they have so much hatred for muslims? That's not the Christian way...muslims do believe in Jesus, and have great respect for him as a prophet and muslims also believe Jesus will return to earth...( the Holy Quran has never changed as has the Holy Bible either)I think you have your religions mixed up

Answer 8

There will only be Peace when ALL religions are gone and the people of the world learn the best way to live is to be KIND, GENEROUS and HELPFUL to ALL humanbeings

Answer 9

Islam already does believe in Jesus.

Answer 10

we should no more "force" Jesus on these people than we should ram democracy down their throat. We should teach them about him so they may choose the path of light over the path of darkness but it must be THEIR choice.
