Wonder why most of the Sunni and Shia view us as crusaders*? Poor, ignorant, overreacting, third-worlders, they know not of what they speak. Onward Christian soldiers into your presumptuous fight!

*We’ll just forget that Bush used the word “crusade” in his speech just after 9-11: “this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take awhile.”

This has been going on in Iraq for years. In fact, in 2005 a fellow worker informed me that his church was asking for donated bibles so that their active church members who were also National Guardsmen and about to be deployed to Iraq could distribute them to the non-believers and spread the Word of Christ. I firmly believe that this reported incident is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem with our society is that for the past 400 years or so, we do not want to understand nor do we respect the differences of other cultures.
