Watching the Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims attack and kill one another, I quickly wonder if they really believe in anything? Supposely, the Islamic faith promotes peace. And I wonder about the kind of witness they provide as they continue to kill one another.
Then I remember that the genocide in Rwanda was largely among two ethnic groups who claim to be Christians. And I need to be honest... Many of our nation's leaders claim to be 'born again Christians' and yet hundreds, if not thousands, of fellow Christians in Iraq have been killed by us in the past two years...

I followed your blog through from Emergent No. I appreciated the comment you left there! And I really appreciate what you write in this post. Just this morning I was watching CNN, where they reported on the rising violence between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, which has apparently resulted in thousands of deaths in the past few years (and especially now, since the publishing of the offensive cartoons in Danish newspapers - BUT interestingly, it was Christians who were shown to be hauling Muslims out of their cars and murdering them on this CNN report), and I couldn't help wondering how there could be violence between two religions who profess to follow a path of peace! What a testimony to the non-religious world!
