Much of the Christian world refuses to believe in inherent evil and simply thinks that if there were not so many Christian Zionists that Israel would go away and the Muslim population would live out their religion of peace.I, for one, think that the so-called ISIS and its leaders are even more evil than Hitler and his Nazi campaign. As one of my Jewish friends reminded me, the German soldiers had enough conscience that they eventually refused to kill the Jews point-blank, and instead invented gas chambers where at least they wouldn’t have to look the Jews in the eye. The barbaric monsters who kill in the Middle East, however, sadistically torture their victims, even cutting heads off with small, dull blades.Too many politicians (and voters) hold to some hope of a diplomatic solution. Their thinking is not only grossly ill-informed, but also treacherously dangerous. As thousands of religious minorities are killed, arm-chair pundits can sip lattes while saying, “Give peace a chance."I think its time to begin a shock and awe warfare campaign that does actually give peace a chance. Only when the monsters are killed will there be any peace in the Middle East. The civilized world should have, by now, put so much moral, economic, and political pressure on the so-called Muslim caliphate that he would have crawled under his blanket, sucking his thumb and crying for his momma. It’s too late for that kind of pressure now, and the pressure of bombs–real bombs and big bombs–is all that will save the people of the Middle East.The Arab world has rarely been a place of safety for Christians or Jews, but even more so today. The Christian population is on the verge of genocide. Some of us have scoffed because "they are not really Christians,” commenting on some of the unorthodox beliefs of the Eastern Church. Personally, I don’t think this is the time to determine whether or not we can have a pot-luck supper together. Even if they are “not really Christians,” they are bearing the name of Christ, and being slaughtered because of it.Simply put, there is no place–no place–for any belief system that says, “Believe our way, or die.” Such blood-thirsty thinking is not a human idea, it is satanic. Those of us who stand for faith must stand for the freedom of faith, both inside our insecure borders and out.Are we so naive as to think that the Barbarians will be content with Iran? Or Iraq? Or Syria? Or Jordan? Or Israel? Or the Middle East? Or North Africa? Or Europe? Their religion of Satan will not be satisfied until all creatures, great and small, cry out, “Allah is god, and Mohammed is his prophet."As for me, I’ll die first.I know that these very harsh words will put me in the crosshairs of criticism, even by many Christians. They will tell me to turn the other cheek, to be a peacemaker, to get over my prejudices, to get the log out of my own eye. To these critics, I challenge you to sleep well at night, knowing that those who take on the name of Christ are being systematically arrested, stripped, humiliated, tortured, and killed in the name of Allah, the man-made god of a wretched man named Mohammed.  I cannot be silent.Please join me in praying that ISIS is eradicated from the face of the earth, and that the basic rights of human life are guaranteed in all the countries of the world.Here is an Urgent Appeal from the Evangelical community of Syria and Lebanon concerning the bona-fide genocide of Christians in the Middle East.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
