There are times here I think, “God, thank you for this experience”. Then there are the other times where I say, “God, WHY DID YOU SEND ME HERE?????”. The last 2 times we have been here as a family, crazy things have unfolded. The latest is this Qu’ran burning issue. We all have our opinions about the issue but here are the facts. If the Qu’ran is burned and the burning is taped, there will be problems for ALOT of people. It will probably amount to war to the millions of Muslims who hold this book in sacred status. NO, it doesn’t matter that our Bible is burned. No,it doesn’t matter that these that say we shouldn’t burn someone’s religious book never open their mouths when a Bible is burned. That is not the issue here. The issue is that there are millions of national and expat Christians and servicemen/women who are in harms way directly. My advice to those who want to make a statement by burning the Qu’ran: Take a flight to Mecca today, stand at the holy mosque and try this. Take your family and church members who want to go, and stand before the “guilty” and burn it. That will will give your actions substance! This will REALLY show them. Just pray for us that all this will pass. That all actions will be minimal. God will protect and guide us.
