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 Gods 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. Its like when your neighbor is sinning and do you love him, do you love him enough to tell him hes sinning? Do you love him enough, one of your children, to tell them that what theyre 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 hes okay with God because he really loves this girl hes living with?
Weve 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 weve got to offer them the Gospel of Jesus Christ in one way or another, he added.

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