Retired Lt. General Jerry Boykin: 'Defeat Islam' By Telling Muslims That They're Sinning Against God

Boykin — who as a high-ranking Pentagon official was rebuked by President George W. Bush for giving speeches framing anti-terrorism efforts as a holy war between Christianity and Islam — said that American Christians are God’s “warriors” in an effort to “defeat Islam” by “bringing the light of the Gospel to the Islamic world.”

He said that Christians have to tell Muslims that they are “sinning” just as one would tell a son living with his girlfriend that he is not “okay with God”:

“We have to stand against evil. It’s like when your neighbor is sinning and do you love him, do you love him enough to tell him he’s sinning? Do you love him enough, one of your children, to tell them that what they’re doing is wrong, living with his girlfriend is a sin? Do you love him that much or are you going to take the easy way out and not tell him and let him go on thinking that he’s okay with God because he really loves this girl he’s living with?”

“We’ve got to love the Muslims enough to stand up against the evil that we see them perpetrating in the name of Allah, but at the same time we’ve got to offer them the Gospel of Jesus Christ in one way or another,” he added.

Of course he's not. This endeavor has been framed as a crusade since day one, and that is exactly what it is.

Yeah, he's the one who, in uniform, told a sizable audience that his god is a bigger, badder weeny-waving god than their sorry-assed god and he'll kick their god's ass.

Wonder what he looks like when the humanoid cover slides off.
