Religious Freedom Reply

Having read Prof. Camp's response to The Tennessean's article, I reread both his response and the original article to see if I had missed something. I did not.
As previously stated, I do not want to debate theology with Prof. Camp, this is his field of expertise and I am a mere layman. I do not doubt his Christianity nor his sincerety. It is apparant that he is a Godly man who practices what he preaches, not unlike the Quakers, and of equal value in time of war. This is not an insult. If we were all as faithful to Biblical teachings as the Quakers, the world would be a much better place.
The problem is that Muslims are being faithful to the teachings of their prophet, "Let there be no religion, but Islam." Make no mistake, this is war. Another phase in a centuries old jihad to convert the entire world, or at least bring it under Islamic rule. The Battle of Toulouse in 721 A.D., was where the Christian west was able to stop the Muslim invasion of Europe and was the beginning of retaking Spain(Reconquista) from the invaders. This would not be completed until 1492 A.D. Had these Christians followed Prof. Camp, Christianity would have gone the route of Jews in Nazi Germany.
Today's war is no less brutal, but it is far more technical and more far reaching. Weakness only encourages the enemy. There has to be a strong, forceful, efficient response if we, or our children, are to survive in a country we call America.
