what do Americans think about the war and......??

Question

christians in the middle east?
Yah we have christians in the middle east, Christianity was born here and Moses, Abraham, jesus all lived here so we still exist in Afghanistan,Iraq,Iran, e.t.c but the #s are small and its dangerous. I was born in America but i've only been to an American church about 2 times, I've only been to our orthodox afghan churches here so I dont know what other Americans think or know about us christians in the middle east. I assume most christian conservatives are pro war and so are most Christian afghans that I know.

Answer 1

I have christian family in Lebanon and its the same religious baloney over there as it is here, belief of recycled myths.
What do I think about the war? Its cruel, unjust and serves an ulterior motive.
I seriously cannot grasp how some people claim to call themselves "christians" and support any kind of war, when Jesus said to love your enemies and love your neighbor.

I'm not religious, but am pretty sure Jesus wouldn't get it either.

Answer 2

Well
One good thing about the USA, is the fact that we do have the right to have a difference of opinion and are able to voice it as we choose. I am not for the war, I feel that Bush is just flexing his muscles and picking a fight, with Iraq, Not Afghanistan. I also am for the war, because we have liberated a terrorist country from a sadistic and ruthless leader, and hopefully have united a new ally and not armed a new enemy, both Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess in short I believe both were necessary, but the time has come to let them fly on their own and see what happens. By the by supposedly there was never a war declared on Iraq, just a policing action. I hope that you are be treated well as a christian in a Muslim world. and I wish you well

Answer 3

I am totally for the war, I am a christian conservative. I kind of fugured that there was a group of christians over in the middle east, but I have never heard much about you, except horror stories of people being martyred by muslims. Over here the major news broadcasters only tell us the bad things about the war, and I wonder if most of that isn't all made up; they don't tell us about the great things that are happening, you have to get that from the soilders themselves when they come home or christian newscastors, or Fox news. I would like to know what all is happening. and how the people over there veiw the war.

Answer 4

I am a Christian and also a Marine I was over there for Operation Iraqi Freedom and I can tell you weather Christian athiest or scientology 90% of the people over there Iraqi or not want us there the problem is the media and the people like athiest J over there love to spin out the small terrorist cells as being the promanent outlook over there when its not yes I believe that the war will bring mor Christianity to a society where its not allowed and I think that is a good thing but there are many other benefits to what is going on over there

What I can say about the Iraqis is that even with the threat of death those men and women loved us they would throw yellow roses at our feet even with Sadam threatining them with death if they did

Answer 5

I'm not a Christian, but an American. My husband has been in the military for almost 18 years. I was in the military when the first Gulf War broke out in 1990.

I do not support this war. I did the first one. But not this one. I think that the reasons we went into it were dishonest. We are being lied to and manipulated by the US government. I think our preemptive strike on another country was disgusting.

And I hate that religion plays such a large part in the whole thing.

Answer 6

Yeah, there replaced right into a conflict called WW2 that has plenty extra impact on usa and the international. Viet Nam is by using no potential the main historic American conflict. additionally, I think of the conflict in Iraq would be remembered plenty extra beneficial than Viet Nam. you realize what in simple terms say which you do not experience it replaced into the main historic conflict. I recommend COME ON!!! The CIVIL conflict is between the terrific AMERICAN wars of all time. it extremely is a in basic terms American conflict (different than some French involvement). OR FOR GOD SAKES the progressive conflict!!!!! I recommend puuuuuhlease. You instructor is a twit. Then in simple terms bypass directly to tell why you think of those wars have plenty extra historic fee. Like, progressive conflict.... is extra historic through fact the term "AMERICAN conflict" does not exist without that conflict. Civil conflict is extra historic AMERICAN conflict through fact it replaced into fought between individuals. usa does not be usa without those wars. Viet Nam... not plenty.

Answer 7

I think the war in Iraq is the biggest mess we've ever been in, and I lived during the time of the Vietnam War. I think Iraq is worse than that. I don't know what to think anymore, I can't say I'm for it, I can't say I'm against it. Fortunately I know God is on the throne.

May God bless you and safeguard you.

Answer 8

I'm not a Christian and I try not to have opinions about US policy, politicians, whatever.

But I'd like to see the US get the hell out of foreign wars and dismantle the Cold War military machine so we aren't tempted to do it anymore.

Answer 9

I am an American Christian against the war....but God bless you for standing for Christ in that region of the world that is so hostile to the Gospel!

Answer 10

Christians aren't in agreement over the war, the opinions vary wildly from one extreme to the other.
