"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."~Benjamin Franklin
After all, why do they hate us? If it's really because of our freedom, they don't they win when we abandon those freedoms?
And besides:
"God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ's. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love." ~ 1 John 4:17-18
and is it a war between a so called "Christian Nation" and Islamist extremism? Okay, than ask yourself WWJD?
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."~Romans 12:20-21
