When Christian armies kill innocent people are they called "collateral damage" ?

Answer 1

I believe the same term would apply even if it wasn't a Christian army. Guess I should break open some history books and see what term Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Pol-Pot used.

I wonder what term militant islamic terrorists use to describe the ones they kill so they can have their 70 virgins.

Do you really think all wars are initiated by Christians only?

Answer 2

atleast notice this question decently how approximately "in case you had to intentionally kill one harmless man or woman to maintain many lives, might you?" i in my opinion experience i'm no guy to decide that, in spite of the undeniable fact that, do you have self assurance the U. S. could have fought returned in WWII? We certainly might have stored many lives by surrendering, although the jews might go through very much for this selection. What concerning the bombs dropped on heiroshima and nagasaki? have been those magnificent? They brought about an incredible volume of collateral harm. you're blind to the reality that history is violent, all you spot is the little modern-day experience of the Iraq conflict and cry when you consider which you do unlike president Bush. you're strategies is to small to understand that undesirable issues take place, and religon isn't at the back of it.

Answer 3

I am an atheist... who are these christian armies killing in the modern world. That debacle in Iraq is purely political no matter what fundy Bush says.

Answer 4

No army is Christian.

Answer 5

The Salvation Army doesn't kill people, they collect money for the poor. LOL.

Answer 6

What Christian armies are you talking about? I don't know of any Christian church that has a standing army, or even a reserve militia for that matter.

Answer 7

whats a christian army? and you mean also the suicide bomber considers innocents collateral damage? you jihadist nut

Answer 8

There are no Christian Armies foolish one. Only Muslim and Jewish ones. You should think before you speak or do nor speak at all. Given that you had time to review your words before posting, you have revealed your diminished intellect or limited years

Biography of Zachariah Anani
Zachariah Anani was a teenage militia fighter. Born into a family of Muslim clergy in Beirut, Lebanon, he began Islamic school at age three. His grandfather and great grandfather had been imams (religious authorities), and his family expected him to carry the torch.

At 13 he joined one of the many military groups that existed in the early '70s. "All the religious fragments had their own secret militia," he says. "I was trained to fight and kill Jews, and to hate Christians and Americans."

His family was pleased with his decision because according to Islamic teaching, those who die in battle against "unbelievers" are assured of reaching heaven. Ironically, Anani faced the Israelis only once. Most of the time, though, the Muslim groups fought among themselves.

By the time he turned 16, "life meant nothing," he says.

Soon after enlisting, he made his first kill. By the time he turned 16, "life meant nothing," he says. "Every time I killed someone and two or three fighters witnessed it, they would give me a point on my chart. I carried 223 points."

Even his comrades feared him. "Although we had a sense of loyalty to each other," he says, "we were ready to take out enemies or friends." When a fanatical Muslim joined his regiment and began knocking on doors to wake the others for prayer at 3 A.M., Anani warned him: "I don't want to pray. Don't come and wake me." When he heard the knock early the next morning, Anani picked up his gun, shot him, and went back to sleep.

Anani was soon promoted to troop leader and then formed his own regiment. But "life seemed painful and empty," he says.

Anani met a Christian missionary and had a spiritual journey and converted to Christainity which became a turning point in Zak’s life.

Zak initially tried to keep secret his new faith, apart from one professor, no one at his univerisity suspected he was a Christian. But in the Muslim neighborhood where he grew up, everyone knew it. He moved to the city's Christian sector, but the persecution continued. Even his father hired assassins to kill him.

After Anani debated with a Muslim scholar in the United States, his family was attacked in Lebanon.

Finally church leaders convinced him to leave Lebanon because his presence endangered others. In 1996 Anani entered Canada as a refugee. It took another three difficult years before his wife and three children could join him. After Anani debated with a Muslim scholar in the United States, his family was attacked in Lebanon. Two of his children required surgery.

Zak has been attacked numerous times for his faith as a Christian, even in Canada.

When in Lebanon he was nearly beheaded and was only saved when an army patrol came by and the Islamist gang dispersed leaving Zak with huge wound on his neck. Zak nearly blead to death and was actually technically dead for 7 minutes before being revived.

In Canada where he now lives, his house and car have been burnt, his family attacked physically as well as Zak himself. Speaking out in a free country sometimes is not as safe as it should be.

Answer 10

Usually they just think that god will take care of the ones who actually were in their mind innocent.
