As a Christian, I can say that the Moslem showed much compassion by doing what he did. Compassion comes from the God who put compassion in each of us - because he is a compassionate God and we are made in his image.

However, like someone mentioned earlier, doing acts of compassion will not qualify one for a relationship with God for eternity. That can only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ. I hope this guy is introduced to such a relationship.

How many more events like 9/11, and the wars that follow, will it take before the Kevins of this world realize that they are a direct cause of all that death and destruction?

If read closely, Spurly's brief post contains all the ingredients necessary to continue the 9/11-war cycle, which it seems the overwhelming majority of us in the West are totally incapable of understanding.

The answer of course is that Spurly doesn't care that his agenda in part causes all this death... so long as Spurly and Ann Coulter believe that the ONLY answer is conversion, these tit-for-tat slaughters will continue, because of the repeated, bloody confirmations by "terrorists", that Islam is a false and evil religion.

The Muslim world hears, and has every reason to fear Spurly's threats of elimination, certainly in light of the latest invasion by this new Christian superpower... and if the past 2 week's war has taught the world anything, it's that the ONLY way to fight back is with "unfair" "dirty tricks" that the West calls "terrorism".

Continue to watch Fox, Spurly, and enjoy what you and your tribe fosters.

Yeah, spurly,

Mohammed could even discover a cure for cancer and he will still burn in Hell for eternity.

Just what he deserves.

Yeah this miserable evil scum sucking bastard will rot in the eternal firey pits of hell like he deserves, because he could never bring himself to accept Jesus as God's son.

I don't know about you guys but I think this man and his wife along w/the doctor that helped him are the true heroes.
The christian god and all his followers can kiss my sagging, tatooed, lilly white ass!

Is he? I never heard that he was a Muslim, but since he was named Mohamad and lived in a predominantly Muslim nation, I just assumed he was.

cap:
I agree that the Iraqi guy is the main hero apparent so far. That story is already getting told pretty enthusiastically by the media for the obvious reasons. It's a feelgood story, and an Iraqi that was helpful and positive is one thing that most Americans want to hear about right now, too. Good for marketing the intervention in general, also. I think we'll see a lot more of his story, I don't think we have to worry about that. The "wow what a religion" touch is a nice idea to create some sort of cognitive dissonance and basically f*ck with xians heads. It would be better if he's an atheist though!

He could well be. My Iraqi friend is an atheist.
