Doesn't "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" teach us that everyone is our neighbor - including groups and individuals who do not necessarily share our culture and beliefs?
How many Christian, as compared to Moslem nations, participated in WW1 and WW2?
Unfortunately, when it comes to killing one's "neighbors," Christians don't take a back seat to anybody!
The Civil War, America's bloodiest conflict, pitted Christians against each other and was a precursor for WW1.Many Christians participated in WW2 for good reasons. Those refusing to fight must have had their reasons, but many of those who fought had very good reasons. When I see morons lining up innocent victims along the beach and cutting off their heads because their religion teaches murder, I say its time to take up arms and go fight those bloody savages.
I will kill my neighbor if my neighbor cannot be stopped from murdering innocent children any other way.

Nobody is arguing that the death of a son is more tragic than the death of a husband - what gave the Khan's story "legs," however, was the fact that Donald Trump insisted on making it an issue over a 6 day period.

Many of its leaders, particularly in the South, considered themselves to be devout Christians (ie. "Stonewall" Jackson) but that didn't stop them from violating the 6th Commandment -"Thou shalt not kill!"
I think the 6th Commandment is abundantly clear - I don't recall God stating that it is negotiable, open to interpretation or subject to exceptions in the "fine print!"You must have missed the addenda, 'Thou shalt not kill innocent Jews or thou shalt be killed by American Christians.'

from violating the 4th Commandment.
