[QUOTE="Gxg (G²), post: 66128712, member: 238335"] What's interesting is that as crazy as the ISIS is and harmful to both Arabic Christians as well as other Muslim Minorities harmed, it seems the most powerful weapon that they cannot stand against is the one thing which seems to be a threat to many - and that's love. I do not say that lightly - as I am reminded of Others who are seeking to do much in order to change the situations for the better. For reference, one can go to [url=http://criout.com/crisis-in-iraq/]Crisis Response International Crisis In Iraq[/url] and [url=http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2014/08/05/learning-to-love-the-enemy-in-iraq/]Learning to love the 'enemy' in Iraq CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs[/url] As said there: Hate will only produce hate - and that is exactly what fuels those who do evil. It's interesting to consider the issue when examining violence and evils done from differing contexts - for evil is evil and murder is murder....and yet the ways it has been conquered have been consistent all over the world. others have worked with people who didn't have the best attitudes---and yet, investment was placed into them...and over time, what won those people over was how others not only put up with them, but loved them despite themselves to show how radical their love was. Many testimonies I've heard about such in doing street ministry with people when they look back and say "I don't know why that person was always so patient with me even when I cursed them out/was evil---but it challenged me greatly!!!!!" If you've ever heard of the book/movie entitled "[URL="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Cross+and+Swithcblade&aq=f"]Cross and Switchblade[/URL]", you'll know what I mean. The book is a account of the late David WIlkerson, who did ministry work in the inner city with gangs...and with one of the gang leaders who continually tried to harm him, David Wilkerson reached out to him.
