"Millions of Muslims from around the world will converge on the holy city between September 21-26."
That would be a great time to nuke the bastards. I think that would really take the wind out of their Jihad. Imagine what it would mean to Christians if Jerusalem was nuked. I believe it wold have the same effect on Islam. It would be proof that they worship a false God, since he can't protect his "holy city".

Imagine what it would mean to any of those 3 major religions.
But yeah, Christians are definitely the only ones who matter.

Quoting from The Holy Bible KJV, with the words of Christ highlighted in red.....Matthew 5:43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and h**e your enemy. 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Let's hear your loving prayer for your Muslim enemies!
