A well-done National Geographic feature article that appears in this month's issue, that everyone should read. It is very appropriate to post on this board, I think.

Commanders of the heavenly hosts, we who are unworthy beseech you, by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: “Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commanders of the powers on high!”
Holy Archangel Michael, pray to God for me.

Bumped to the top. Everyone should read this and pray for our Arab brothers and sisters in Christ.
Lord, have mercy!

I'm definitely praying, and this has been on my heart for a long time as well. I'm glad you said something.
It is tragic what our family in Christ suffers through, I pray that the Islamist extremists and Zionist occupiers in Palestine come to the Lord and that the suffering of our family in Christ opens their eyes to the Truth.
May those of us who live comfortable lives away from war and extreme poverty never forget our duty to preach and live out the Gospel and never forget our family in the Middle East.
I was just thinking today and wallowing in a bit of self-pity about some trivial things going on. Then I remembered this thread and I suddenly find myself with nothing to complain about, comparatively speaking.

The first thing we can do is to discard the whole Muslim propaganda of Israeli "occupiers" and Muslim "extremists". No, those who live out the commands of the Koran are no more extreme than you or I living out the commands of Christ. They are simply Muslims and we are simply Christians. And if there's one thing that's completely pointless, it's preferring the terror-anarchy of terrorist rule (PA, Hamas, Fatah) over the "occupation" of Israel. It is worth noting that the "occupation" of Israel produced jobs, irrigated the desert, and brought a stability that the people there had scarcely known. Now, all that is gone, thanks to the Muslim claims of "occupation", and made-up lies about Israeli atrocities.
Finally, it scarcely needs to be said that for the Christian minorities in the West Bank, Gaza, and elsewhere, that they do infinitely better under the Israeli "occupation" than they do under the terror regimes run by Hamas, Fatah, and the PA.
Our brothers and sisters would have infinitely more safety, economic opportunity, freedom to worship, and political freedom under Israeli "occupation" than they would under any other prevalent Islamic governmental structure (which range from despotism to autocracy with a smile). Therefore, it would be most logical for us to pray for expansion of Israel, no?
