""the Christian community in Iraq has again denounced Western indifference to their plight, despite the Dec. 31 massacre of Copts in Alexandria and the cathedral in Baghdad: “The West can not do anything for Christian, because the West denies its Christian roots and is indifferent to all religions. And another thing that the West does not understand is that in these Muslim countries ‘democracy’ means ‘chaos’. “"
Sounds like they recognise the "west" today.
Iraq and for that matter Afghanistan cannot do democracy as we in the "civilised(?)" west do it. Just as in western nations the muslims are not, nor will not be integrated into our societies and communities, because we refuse to accept their mind set, (eg sharia), so too in these muslim nations democracy as a seed will never bloom. Pakistan is a case in point.

Exactly it was God who actually wrote "The Communist Manifesto" and Hitler's "Mein Kampf", the reformed doctrines deny any other heretical arminian or otherwise interpretation of all that ever has or ever will happen. It was God who also forordained this mass killing as well as Calvin and many others have proven that no matter what we think we cannot question these truths. We are to thank God for all things including this and all genocidal and perverted events that have ever occured in history, as these events were and are God's will, the reformers who preached the doctrines of grace urged through great exposition to obey the truth of these words.

Here's Barry's first response to the news of the hardhats' refusal:
"These men put more value on America and PATRIOTISM than they do on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and even though they would never admit that outright, yet their fruits and doctrine nevertheless SCREAM the truth of this heresy and blasphemy. And this UNREGENERACY. For the FACT is, America's days of honoring God are OVER, and they are OVER FOR GOOD, and the Holy Spirit HIMSELF, along with his written Word, testifies to this INFALLIBLE TRUTH so INTENSELY and so CLEARLY that ONLY someone who is BEREFT of the Holy Spirit could not KNOW it."
What else might be concluded other than Barry thinks it unchristian to refuse to build the mosque?
You don't see a difference between a public school and a mosque? How many Christian teachers can you find in a mosque? I know several in our local school.

So you agree that the Christian thing to do is to build a center for Muslims to worship a false god? That is where Barry began this journey.

I don't know if I can agree with every stuff Barry says, but I do knoweth that his words are not offensive to me at all. It seems it's the idolaters who have the problem here.
