the muslims are intruding into our countries too. you dun see them. but they are everywhere. in the jungles of southeast asian countries, in China, in US, in europe.
they are preparing to kill as many to make people submit to Islam, to bow down to their god.
yes, christians are invading muslim countries. but the muslims are even more scheming. they infiltrate into your neighbourhoods and sow discord amongst people.

before each and every thing i might want to wish to assert that i'm a Christian, and that i disagree with all sorts of prejudice perspectives, no matter if or not they be racist, sexist or some thing else (this incorporates faith). i'm in ordinary words 16, and yet I easily have Muslim, Buddhist, Christian and atheist pals. I have pals of many alternative races. Secondly i might want to wish to speak about that Jesus easily advised his disciples to pass and pontificate to the Gentiles besides because the Israelites. Thirdly Jesus stated to love thy neighbor as thy self. So with that in options i do not sympathize with the american Christians 'protecting' u.s.'s custom from Muslim 'invasion'. that's both un-Christian and un-American when you think about that u.s. has continually been an fairly multicultural society (Hispanic, Dominican, American Indian, Asian and African born human beings make up numerous the inhabitants) and values equality. that's contemplated contained in the structure and different products of law.

The Effect of Christ’s Teaching
While on earth, Jesus demonstrated how to replace hatred with unselfish love, commanding: “Love one another, just as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) He also said: “Happy are the peaceable.” (Matthew 5:9) Here the Greek word for “peaceable” means more than enjoying a state of tranquillity. It really entails cultivating peace, actively working to promote goodwill.
When Jesus was being arrested, the apostle Peter tried to defend him with a lethal weapon. But the Son of God reprimanded him, saying: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52) How did first-century Christians apply those words? Note the following quotations.
“A careful review of all the information available [shows] that, until the time of Marcus Aurelius [121-180 C.E.], no Christian became a soldier; and no soldier, after becoming a Christian, remained in military service.”—The Rise of Christianity.
“The behavior of the [early] Christians was very different from that of the Romans. . . . Since Christ had preached peace, they refused to become soldiers.”—Our World Through the Ages.
Because Christ’s disciples refused to serve in the emperor’s legions, the Romans put many of them to death. Why did Christians maintain such an unpopular stand? Because Jesus taught them to be peacemakers.
Modern Warfare
Imagine the dreadful situation if Christ’s followers were to fight in opposing armies, trying to kill one another. Such a scenario would be contrary to Christian principles. Really, those who obey the God of the Bible would not harm anyone—not even their enemies.—Matthew 5:43-45.
Clearly, God does not put his blessing on modern carnal warfare between humans. Being peaceable, true Christians advocate the peace that will be established worldwide under God’s Kingdom.

I don't need a Bible verse to protect my family from theocracy. Problem with your reasoning is, per reality, the Christian culture is the one invading Muslim lands.

I wouldn't use any. I would remind them that they aren't fighting Muslims. They are fighting for freedom for their Muslim brothers and sisters who live in Iraq.

I know a hymn......'ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS'
NEW VERSE
Lets go and start a war
We will make that journey
Nowhere is too far....
We will bomb and slay them
And take over their land....
We will plunder their resources
For in Jesus name we stand.
