When did Jesus say Christians are allowed to take a break from standing up for him so they can be free to pursue violence? Is there a certain time of day you can do this, like a smoke break?
We are going to protect ourselves, ok. And that is that. We are not the ones going into countries (eg: Africa, Europe, etc) and slaughtering peoples - muslims are. But, the big difference is that islam sanctions it and anyone who dies in islam killing infidels - is considered a martyr.
93% of references to do with jihad in the Koran, Hadiths and Sira, have to do with waging holy war, while only 3% - of the ones often promoted by moderates - deal with inner peace.
This article shows us what islam is all about and I like this article because it shows us that muslim females are as guilty as the males.

Basically, what we see is an attempt to put their violence back on us. According to them we should not do anything but lay down and let the muslim hordes torture, enslave, rape, steal, and kill us.
This is why islam is not going to change. They don’t look at their own selves, ‘religion’, as being anything bad - but will start squirming and take the well researched verses out of the Bible and throw them back at us.
I am sure that they have been all given either a book, a website, or reference papers (or a combination of all three) to use in their arguments.
