It's been a dozen years since Islamic militants attacked our country by air, killing and wounding thousands of civilians. As I watched news coverage of the event there was no mention of Islam, jihad, or the sincere committed religious motivation of the Moslems who attacked our country. In the dozens of attacks since (even when the attacker repeatedly shouts “Allah Ackbar!” while bombing or shooting helpless victims) we are contstantly told to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the jihadist motivations of those trying to destroy our nation.
     What we are not told about is the widespread destruction of the Christian Church through jihad. Christians in Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sierra Leone have been robbed of their property, their civil rights, been wounded or killed, and had their churches burned. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who are under more imminent attack and more direct targetting than we are currently. Pray for the Lord to turn the hearts of our attackers so that they may repent before entering an eternity in hell. And share the Good News of the Prince of Peace–Jesus Christ the Righteous!
