Answer 1

Sir

I am a Muslim and I would like to participate in this

God does not instruct people to attack others, people attack others claiming that this is God's will. This goes for Muslims as well as Christians.

God bless

Answer 2

The American Christians often get their news sources from "trustworthy" Christian Radio. Such as Family News in Focus, Pat Robertson and his network (CBN), as well as TBN, and other Christian media. The media is so biased, it's ridiculous!

An example: one time CNN-Headline news showed a news clip of a luncheon speech that President GW Bush gave. The first part was very favorable, but the last part of his speech told the rest of the story and was not very favorable. Later on that day, I was listening to Family News in Focus on a Christian radio station. The station abbreviated only part of the speech. Guess which part was broadcast? You guessed it. Only the good parts.

Unfortunately, too many Christians believe you need to listen to this biased media, which will only share favorable reports on President Bush. So, no wonder they are fooled into believing the story about President Bush and his wonderful Christianity. Yes I'm judging, but I have a problem with the conflicts of interest of an leader of a country who made his fortune in oil and then leads us into war in an area known for producing oil and claims it is terrorism.

So, yes there are some gullible Christians who I'm sure believe that God is in this war (Because it supports Israel's position).

We have no proof that God told Bush anything, aside from Bush's own words. This brings up the question, 'Would God Say this?'. It is commonly held that God does not interfere with political affairs, so the majority of Christians, as well as Muslims and Jews, would say no, Bush is not right. This point may be supported by history, which reveals that often political leaders will invoke their deity (or deities) to gain the support of the people before going to war.

Answer 4

Dear huffyb,

i think most people truly don't know. What i do know is that George Bush will have to answer to God one-on-one will day for all his actions (both as a president and not). Even though i have my problems with some of the actions Bush has taken while in office- i have just tried to pray for him, our nation, and our troops overseas.

Obviously Bush claims to be a Christian and he does have some conservative stances on some issues. His relationship between God is ultimately between him and God. As i've said he's done some good as president, but also a lot of bad. But ultimately, his life will be accounted for between Him and God. i can only hope to cover him (or any other president for that matter) in prayer and hope they can continue to keep America a great country with freedoms that i daily enjoy.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 5

I beeive that the oil companies instructed Dubya to attack Iraq. Ole Dubya just thouht he'd have an easier time convincing the American people that it wa God's idea.

Answer 6

I am not religious, and i dont believe..But for me, there is not any christian or muslim God..There is an upper strenght maybe, call it nature, call it God, yes...for every creature in this world..
Concerning the events of Iraq, of south America in the middle age, or the djihad of the muslims, be sure of one thing.The religion has nothing to do with it.People use it for their interests.There is the prejudice that muslims are terrorists.
But they reacted like this, because people exploited them so much.Yhis means that every turk or arab is holding a bomb in his hand?
Concerning the christians.If Bush acts like that, it means that we are all rewady to attack the arabic countries?
Certainly not.
So, lets be calm, and try to educate people to see the truth.

Answer 9

Thank for this question. What i know is that american people have many christian resources, than us Africans; many scholars are there, many books are there, so they can refer to know if The Lord sent any one to kill innoccents and this mentioned in all religions Jewish, Christianity, Islam, even Budha. i'm sure there is no religion ordered his followers to kill people.

I'm more than a little skeptical about this claim, considering the original source.
