Care to explain just HOW/WHEN Christians exhibited those "turn the cheek, love your enemies" behab=viors during periods like the Crusades and Inquisitions?

Thank goodness Christians would never do anything like force native peoples to abandon their own languages and Gods, eh?

Didn't Arafat and his wife wind up with a huge Swiss or other overseas bank account?

That doesn't mean you can't act in self defense or in the defense of others.

To the limited extent they may have did that in the past, they weren't acting as good Christians. I never say people who are Christians are perfect. I don't think what language is encouraged in a jurisdiction has to do with anything.

That's not the reason as Israel serves no strategic importance to the US. And will Israel be so eager to join Russia when Russia and Iran are strategic allies? I wonder.

Israel has nukes but your small size makes you incredibly vulnerable even against a country with no nukes, like Iran.

Oh? Where does the Bible state that proviso?

And just who was it attacking the church during the Inquisitions?
