Islamic Terrorism, Leadership and The Church

While the deaths of innocent Palestinians who were used as human shields in Gaza are being lamented, much of the world is meeting the inhumane slaughter of Christians with near triviality. While demonstrations in Europe, America and the United Nations point their finger at Israel for defending itself against Hamas, the Middle East and Central Africa are losing entire communities of Christians.

In Africa, Islamic Terrorists have kidnapped and killed hundreds of Christians, and a half million Christians Arabs have been forced from Syria. Meanwhile, too few media outlets travel to Iraq to cover the Nazi-like wave of terror that is taking power, while the United Nations and its member’s leaders are concentrating on other matters of little consequence. Furthermore, where are the celebrities and rock stars? Does not the slaughter of Christians seem to activate their self-insolated social web?

The Islamic state, is not just a loose group of fanatic Islamic terrorists, but a military force that needs to be reckoned with. To deal with it properly all military options must be on the table. The President must take a hands- off policy when it comes to strategy and tactics. An airstrike at Obama’s discretion hamstrings field commanders and emboldens those Islamic terrorists we wish to destroy. Does not the president realize that Islamic jihadists truly excels in its butchery?  Some say that it “rivals the death orgies of the Middle-Ages.” The Church in particular must cease remaining silent in the wake of Christian persecution. By Church, I mean all Christians, regardless of denomination. If you believe the Bible and possess a moral and ethical core, remain silent no more.
