This is an honest question from a man (cartoonist) in the street; not so well informed. It is directed to Muhammad, or Andrew, or the media, or whoever is smart. I really do not know the answer.
I understand that Iraqis are 97% Muslim, 60%-65% Shi’a, and 32%-37% Sunni; and 3% are Christian or other.

Dancing With the Lord!
Brother,
As I told you in worship services this morning; you delivered one of the best sermon's this morning that I have ever heard. I have a few years up on you, and I say Amen, from my own experiences and studies. All that you preached was absolutely true. You have a good grasp on those scriptures. And I must say, that you deliver them with tremendous force and sincerity. I love to hear my brothers in Christ preaching from their hearts, and accurately in God's word. We also appreciate all the "little" things that you do for us behind the scenes. I don't know how you manage it all. Besides delivering an excellent sermon this morning; you freed up our professional preacher and evangelist, to help enlarge our territory even more.
When it comes to the Jabez prayer; my prayers are turning more and more to, "Thank you Lords." It is hard to ask God for these things, while we can see with our own eyes and ears that He is is already answering them. And it's not even 40 days yet! We might turn more of our requests now over to Thank you's and how much we look forward and request continuation of His taking our hand, not only in keeping us from harm, and freeing us from pain, --but for dancing with us!

What to do with Terrorist Prisoners
My Answer to 'wildweasel':
"You realize that Muslim countries imprison and kill Christians - or any other non muslims - for preaching and practicing other religions in their lands?..."
Maybe I am thinking about a different letter (senior moment)...but I thought we were talking about the torturing, or not torturing, of terrorist prisoners. But, it doesn't matter:
The scenario is that If we already have them in our clutches, thinking whether we could save lives by torturing them or not. I say it would be more effective, ...more importantly, being right with God, a show of American principles, and an example to the entire world of who the real one true God is, and in obedience to the Christian commission, --that is; to teach those terrorists the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (See the last chapter of the Bible's book of Matthew.)
Hearing the words of Jesus Christ, such as the Bible's New Testament Sermon on the Mt., ought to melt any terrorist's heart.
Who can be against what Christ taught, for the love of God for all of mankind?
God loves us all, --even our enemies, and we are commanded by Jesus Christ, son of God, son of man, to do likewise.
