Anyone know the only Muslim nation which had pro-American demonstrations after 911? Yep, Iran. They want democracy, cooperated heavily with intelligence sharing after 911, but are now apparently in our military's crosshairs.
Years ago, before Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to power, Iran asked America for something like permission to build a nuclear reactor for domestic electricity needs. But America's administration has been finding every reason to treat Iran as a terrible enemy. True, Ahmadinejad has been finding every reason to threaten Israel with annihilation, but there is much more under the surface in Iran than meets the eye.
When we fear something, it remains dark and mysterious and we dislike it. It's impossible to love what we fear that way. But we're caught in a Jesus trap. He said to love our enemies. Love liberates us from looking at a person, people or a nation through the wrong lens.
