Iraqi Christians

Did you know there are Iraqi CHristians? Not muslim chirstians, not Iraqi muslims...but actual christians? In fact they are a very large sect of Iraqi's who can tract there heritage back to King Nebecenezer of the Old Testemant. They believe like we believe....God, Jesus, Salvation.....etc. They are a very proud group. But of course we don't hear about them. We just hear about the "extremists" groups and all of the bad stuff. Here is one for you, not to defend Islam, but did you know that 90% of the muslims look at christianity as a "sister" or "brother" religion to islam? They do not consider us infidels....infidels are those who have "no" religion or no belief in God. The extremist take it to the level of all are infidels who do not believe their "way". This is the gang or organized crime area that is running amuck in Iraq and the muslim world. Yes islam is still misguided and missing the whole Jesus and salvation message. They still have issues rgarding equality and human rights. The danger of course still lies in the missing link of Jesus as the only way to God. THey believe Jesus was a prophet like mohammed.
I just found this intersting while talking to a friend of mine who is an advisor to the top military brass in Iraq. He investigates the different groups or sects in iraq much like gangs or organized crime here in the US. He takes what he finds and advises the brass on terrorism and counter terrorism measures for surviving in Iraq.
He is a christian man serving his country in an awesome way, I find it intriguing and kinda wish I could do that, I would be good at that.
He has learned alot about Islam, the good and the bad, it is of course something we do not want in the political system of our country.
He just wishes that we the uninformed american public were told everything about Iraq and what we have done for that country....not the bad that the liberal media wants us to hear.....
So watch what you hear.....and see and read......and keep Scott in your prayers.
