"Евангельские христиане" на тропе войны

[Christopher]

Yoginder Sikand

Among the most vociferous supporters of the American invasion of Iraq and its so-called global ‘war on terror’ are large sections of America’s powerful Christian evangelical right wing.

Most right-wing Christian groups in America see America’s war on Iraq, and on Muslim peoples more generally, as nothing less than a cosmic battle between Christianity and Islam, between God and the Devil, between good and evil.

Despite their protestations of ‘love’ for suffering and dying Muslims, they seem to actually relish the prospects of war, for it enables them to gain entry into areas where they would ordinarily would never had dared to tread, being protected by the force of American arms.

As Love (Frontier’s international director, Rick Love) sees it, the events of 11 September, 2001, and the wars that have followed in its wake are possibly cosmic signs of what Christian fundamentalists believe would be Christ’s return to earth before the Day of Judgement. This adds even greater urgency to what Love regards as the missionary task of winning Muslims to Christianity before Christ comes back to the world. The impending arrival of Christ must be preceded by ‘world evangelization’ says Love, suggesting a global plan of Christian imperialist domination. http://www.islaminterfaith.org/august20 ... -08-04.htm
