I believe that the Muslim religion refers to Christians, Muslims, and Jews as all "People of the Book", due to our common beliefs in the Old Testament.

The photo of the Muslim men erecting a cross on the roof of the church was incredible to me. We still have along way to go, but what a first step. Unless our elected "cut and run" leadership snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Anyone who does not get the significance of this cannot comment intelligently on the GWOT.
