Why do Christians fight in the others war?

The clash of civilization becomes more and more reality. The west creates new enemies to enrich their incomes either governmental or private. Why Christian indulges themselves in Muslims / Jews war? No body hates US because of freedom, democracy and institutional values as they the entire time saying. But in fact it is matter of Israel and alliances / support from the west to this called Israel!!!! After early Muslims conquers, crusades and imperialisms era new page should be open between the two civilizations. But apparently, Christians needs all the time a new enemy……

    If religion proves to be the source of hatred, enmity and contention, if it becomes the cause of warfare and strife and influences men to kill each other, its absence is preferable. For that which is productive of hatred amongst the people is rejected by God, and that which establishes fellowship is beloved and sanctioned by Him. Religion and divine teachings are like unto a remedy. A remedy must produce the condition of health. If it occasions sickness, it is wiser and better to have no remedy whatever. This is the significance of the statement that if religion becomes the cause of warfare and bloodshed, irreligion and the absence of religion are preferable among mankind.

    (Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 298)

    Every eye, in this Day, should seek what will best promote the Cause of God. He, Who is the Eternal Truth, beareth Me witness! Nothing whatsoever can, in this Day, inflict a greater harm upon this Cause than dissension and strife, contention, estrangement and apathy, among the loved ones of God. Flee them, through the power of God and His sovereign aid, and strive ye to knit together the hearts of men, in His Name, the Unifier, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

    (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 8)

    Religious hatred and rancor is a world-consuming fire....

    (Abdu'l-Baha, A Traveller's Narrative, p. 42)

    And now let us consider the various peoples of the world. All the nations -- American, British, French, German, Turkish, Persian, Arab -- are children of the same Adam, members of the same human household. Why should dissension exist among them? The surface of the earth is one native land, and that native land was provided for all. God has not set these boundaries and race limitations. Why should imaginary barriers which God has not originally destined be made a cause of contention? God has created and provided for all. He is the Preserver of all, and all are submerged in the ocean of His mercy. Not a single soul is deprived. Inasmuch as we have such a loving God and Creator, why should we be at war with each other? Now that His light is shining universally, why should we cast ourselves into darkness? As His table is spread for all His children, why should we deprive each other of its sustenance? As His effulgence is shining upon all, why should we seek to live among the shadows? There is no doubt that the only cause is ignorance and that the result is perdition. Discord deprives humanity of the eternal favors of God; therefore, we must forget all imaginary causes of difference and seek the very fundamentals of the divine religions in order that we may associate in perfect love and accord and consider humankind as one family, the surface of the earth as one nationality and all races as one humanity. Let us live under the protection of God, attaining eternal happiness in this world and everlasting life in the world to come.

    (Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 99)

    The Jews await the Messiah, the Christians the return of Christ, the Moslems the Mahdi, the Buddhists the fifth Buddha, the Zoroastrians Shah Bahram, the Hindus the reincarnation of Krishna, and the Atheists - a better social organization! Baha'u'llah represents all these, and thus destroys the rivalries and the enmities of the different religions; reconciles them in their primitive purity, and frees them from the corruption of dogmas and rites.

    Christians must indulge in such interference. Because winning of the muslims is a defeat for them anywhere. So when they are powerful they do so. This comes from the time of the Crusades. Muslims have no right to ask them not to do so because if they gain the uppher hand it would be worst for the Christians . Not only Christians but to all other non Muslims too. This is the history and the nature of aggression in these semitic religions. Not my fault in saying so.

    Christian leaders attempt to influence politicians to back Isreal ... The main reason is the Dome Of The Rock--- second most holy site in Islam- Next to Mecca.. They believe this temple is built over the site of Solomons temple and Jews temple destroyed in 70. This old temple the Jews had must be rebuilt before JESUS can return the second time.... Christains actually beleive this temple rebuild idea !!!! Now it would be necessary to tear down the dome of the rock to make this possible....,. WHY NOT JUST KILL ALL MUSLIMS -----Sounds pretty dumb -- RIGHT ? This dome is not top reason --is in top three...SOME DUMB PROMMISE TO ABRAM STARTED THIS 5000 YEARS AGO ----

    You equate the western world with Christianity. You are still fighting the crusades when 99% of westerners have no idea what the crusades were.

    Israel is a western style democracy and we support democracy. Why can't the Moslem countries try out democracy?

    The Cult of the Cross started with Emperor Constantine i of Rome who claimed he saw, either in a dream or whatever, a fiery cross in the sky with the words " By this sign thou shalt conquer" written under it.

    His soldiers had the cross painted on their shields and ever since the Crusades have been fought for Zeus the Sky and Weather God.

    The cross is actually a curse and it is for the curse that Christians go into other peoples' lands to fight and they return either in coffins or insane.

    Allahuakbarr!

    Israel is a democracy in which people enjoy about as many freedoms as in the US.

    Can't blame anyone for siding with someone similar...

    Also, you are incorrect, there is no current Muslims/Jews war, and USA didn't actively participate in any previous ones.

    Im not sure from your question, just where you are in Rev, but I am going to assume you mean the battle of Armagedon The scripture says that Christ, His saints and His angels will come back with Jesus, when He comes in His glory. Some pastors have taught that we the saints will battle with Him. This is not so, The saints will come with Him and just circle around the valley and watch as Christ deals with the followers of the Anti Christ," Beast".

    you must be a muslim sort of, in fact not all christians like fighting or whatsoever.but false christians they like that kind of atmosphere because they don't have any approval from the true god and they are not really christians where Jesus accepted them to carry his name, these are christians manmade by the false christians of catholic they call.if you read bibles jesus never get into any wars but he commanded those one that he chooses to carry his name and follow closely his steps, in fact he said with the love you have among you the world will know that you are my disciples which mean the real christians who never fought wars or kill.

    how about muslims, in the coran they it is an order for the muslims to kill and conquer the world by doing so they believe they are serving the true god, but whose god? the one in the bible being mentioned who loves killing was satan, which mean killing is not god's but the devil.

    The Israel/ Palestine conflict is not about religion, it all has to do with politics. It is only in the strategic interest of America to have a military base in the Middle East.

    Don't mistake people who are labelled as Christian with true Christians. Only God and the Christian herself know who really are, and sometimes God alone knows.
