Exactly, you have opened the door to a secret that not many people realize, the war is opening doors to evangelize the middle east, even Pakistan has Christians now and Iraqis are getting saved. As you know in most muslim countries it is against the law to be a Christian or evangelize but by the grace of God it is happening anyway. This happened in Russia after President Reagan broke communism and now muslim countries are beginning to open, as Christianity in this country fades in other parts of the world it is growing including India and China, Praise the Lord. I think its in Matthew it says, when the Gospel is preached thru out the whole world then the end will come. We draw closer each day. Glory to God!!

The Iraqis might be getting the idea that Islam is not the 'religion of peace' that some say it is. They also might be getting the idea that Islam is not the head, but the tail, cursed and not blessed, and that Islam is the bottom, not the top.
Deuteronomy 28:13
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Genesis 12:3
"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
Genesis 27:29
"May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed."
Deuteronomy 15:6
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
Jeremiah 4:2
And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
And many, many more.

Great, instead of Muslim fundies we will get more christian fundies, who will cause more war with the Muslim fundies. Do people really understand the problem with religion in this part of the world?, and they just want to add fuel to the fire.

Those missionaries need to get out of that nation and mind their own business. They are endangering the lives of others.

this isnt a testimony to God, this is horrible actually. It is the forcing of our religion on another people group. They are turning because they are afraid of us killing them. This is sooo insane.
What is wrong with their religion? We are the ones over their killing them and now forcing our religion on them. It was only a small extremist group who want us injured. To them it appears that our whole country (a quote-unquote christian nation) wants to kill them, including their innocent civilians.
It almost sounds like a mini-crusades.... Oh the horrible things that go on in the name of God.
