DD,
What about the Islam people who have lived among us in peace for the last 200 years into this present time? Respectful and lawful persons, some serving in the military. Giving their lives for you!
You want people to hate everyone in one group (in this post Islam), regardless whether they have committed a crime or not.
Because some person, who claims to be a Christian, goes into a clinic and shoots people, that makes all Christians just like him. All Christians are clinic shooters?
These preachers who teach fear and hate, beyond reason, against other nations and peoples, instead of the gospel of love and peace are warmongers and fear based power grabbers.

You should be more worried and fearful of Czar Putin and his influence in the US.
Iran doesn't have enough missiles to strike the US., but Czar Putin does!

First, I don't hate Muslim's, I hate Islam. It seems to me that many on this forum hate Catholicism.
I know there are good Muslim's out there, many who want to get out but can't. However, Islam as a whole has never lived in peace since it began. The difference between Christianity and Islam is that Islam is a radical religion of 1.8 billion people bent on world domination through demographics and terrorism.
Approximately 1/2 of all Muslim's on earth are either radicals or jihadist/Islamist and Islamic terrorism is prophesied in the bible.
There are over 30 Islamic terrorist organizations today. At one time many of them had their headquarters in Damascus. The problem too is that terrorist are far more dangerous to the West than a country like Russia. Jihadist hide among the general population. They are living in your backyard.
President Kennedy said that terrorism would one day make war obsolete. He was right. A terrorist can infiltrate places where an army can't. They don't come by infantry or brigade, they don't have tanks or jet fighters, and they don't dress like soldiers. They are the foreign fighters mentioned in Habakkuk 1.
Groups like Al'Shabaab, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al'Quaeda, and ISIS, etc. are basically jihadist foreign fighters and Habakkuk perfectly describes them. All these groups use terrorism as a means to obtain their goals, the worst of which of which is world domination. They want to "conquer the infidel," and the world, and see the complete destruction of Israel.
Habakkuk 1 is a prophecy about Islamic terrorism, their form of worship, world domination, and the spread of foreign fighters, and how they are feared and dreaded.
Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldean's, that bitter and hasty nation,
which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Terrorism, their form of worship, and goal of world domination ALL IN ONE VERSE!
"They shall come all for violence":...Enough said!
The East Wind is associated with evil, destruction, falsity, AND THE ARABS! The east wind is what brings the locust and locust are figurative of Arabs in the bible.
"
their faces shall sup up as the east wind." Islam's form of worship.
The east wind is always associated with destruction.
Sup up means to do so as a horde or an assembly.
Islam is the only religion where it's followers "sup their face up to the east" even 5 times a day.
"The east wind is always associated with evil destructive wind." E. Swedenborg (1688-1772) said, "That wind, and especially the east wind, signifies nothing else than the dispersion of falsities and evils."
