O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it – for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
I agree.

Imagine if it was the opposite where guns used by terroists or insurgents had koran quotes, there would be so much spotlight on that.
Actually, if the terrorist rifles and weapons had Koran passages on them, the same people complaining about the US rifles sights would be defending them. There would be no spotlight at all on their weapons if there was passages from the Koran. The only reason this is even news is because of the 'blame America first' and 'blame Christians' groups in liberal America. The same groups who ask for tolerance and understand of our enemies, but then are the most intolerant and bigoted towards conservatives and Christians in our own nation.

Does it really matter what the scopes say?

Once again, you've got it completely ass-backwards. Of course, the USA is and always has been a Christian nation, right down to In God We Trust on our currency, morning prayers in the House and Senate, and the Presidential inauguration oath sworn on the Bible. Wake up.
The anti-war nags spew their "oil" and "money" rhetoric, but we haven't gained any oil or money from our presence in Iraq since we went over there. So oil and money aren't the motivation, either.
Protecting Israel is something that all Judeo-Christian people would understand and support wholeheartedly.

The only people who don’t think that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the War on Terror in general are Religious Crusades are the religious xenophobes who support fighting it while crying it’s the Muslims, it’s the Muslims they make us kill them it’s not a religious crusade.
What a bunch of freaking crackpots and hypocrites and dysfunctional nutcases we breed here in the U.S. these days!
It's a religious crusade that the bigots are fighting and De Nile is a river in Egypt for crying out loud.

Actually I saw George Bush himself claim that on TV. You spend a lot of time worrying about what the Palestinians say?
Do you imagine people who aren't American or pro-American are lesser human beings.
The fact that I was born in America means I have to turn a blind eye when it does something stupid or wrong and cheer it on?
Is my nationality supposed to come before my humanity?
You do understand the concept of divide and conquer warfare don't you and that we are all being manipulated into camps where something other than our humanity is supposed to take precedence and be our guiding force.
I have my own code for what's right and wrong, I don't need Uncle Sam, Big Brother, or Captain America to explain it for me Will Rogers.
I think you need to spend a little time with Buckeye, he was a nice kid.

to the Muslim fanatics blowing themselves up every day out in the Middle East, it's very much a jihad.
