I heard an Israeli government official say tonight that nearly all Muslims are not terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslim.

I think he is correct, but I don't know why he is correct. Why are nearly all terrorists Muslim? Or, do you reject that premise?

Is this a religious war? And if so, how should we respond? What role does the Christian faith play in this, if indeed, this is a religious war? From the secularists--what role does secularism have in this war? And please, no sermons on how this simply illustrates the corruptive nature of religion. You're preaching to the choir, and it serves no purpose.

Is this a cultural war of east vs. west? How then is it that nations living side by side have such different cultures?

I truly haven't a clue. The events are far beyond my intellectual capacity.

Any thoughts?
