He should fight himself first when claiming to fight evil.

He's 'faith based'... They don't really care what the Good Books say... They speak to Jesus directly... ;)

Qur'an 114:1-6
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,
The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,
The God (or judge) of Mankind,
From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),
(The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,
Among Jinns and among men.

(At least they 'believe' that it's Jesus. And who am I to question them.)

Solomon and the ant, a lesson in humility:

On one occasion he strayed into the valley of the ants in the course of his wanderings. He heard one ant order all the others to withdraw, to avoid being crushed by the armies of Solomon. The king halted and summoned the ant that had spoken. She told him that she was the queen of the ants, and she gave her reasons for the order of withdrawal. Solomon wanted to put a question to the ant queen, but she refused to answer unless the king took her up and placed her on his hand. He acquiesced, and then he put his question: "Is there any one greater than I am in all the world?" "Yes," said the ant.

Solomon: "Who?"

Ant: "I am."

Solomon: "How is that possible?"

Ant: "Were I not greater than thou, God would not have led thee hither to put me on thy hand."

Exasperated, Solomon threw her to the ground, and said: "Thou knowest who I am? I am Solomon, the son of David."

Not at all intimidated, the ant reminded the king of his earthly origin, and admonished him to humility, and the king went off abashed.

~ Legends of the Jews [Chapter V: SOLOMON, Volume IV]

Methinks you're not yet humble enough to deeply understand that lesson.

Muslims never saw Mohammed cartoons

A new documentary shows that several of the instigators behind the violent
Mohammed cartoon demonstrations never even saw the drawings

In a new documentary film, the violent protests in the Middle East over the
infamous Mohammed cartoons in 2005 are proven to have been instigated by Islamic
leaders who never actually saw the drawings themselves.

Danish director Karsten Kjær travelled throughout the Middle East to investigate
who and what was responsible for the wave of violence released from the cartoons
for his documentary ‘Those Damned Drawings’ (‘De Forbandede Tegninger’). He said
the primary theme of the film is freedom of expression and its boundaries.

‘I’ve sought to be objective about the crisis’ factual events,’ Kjær told public
broadcaster DR. ‘But it is also a very personal film that portrays my travels
around the Middle East and my own impression of both the causes and consequences
of the conflict brought about by the 12 drawings.

The film suggests the crisis began full-force when the man many consider to be
Islam’s most powerful figure, Sheik Yussuf Al-Qaradawi, declared 3 February 2006
as ‘Anger Day’ on his TV programme. A wave of violent protests across the globe
unleashing followed in the wake of that transmission.

In the documentary, Kjær shows the Mohammed drawings to Al-Qaradawi, who views
them for the first time.

Kjær also shows the cartoons to Ali Bakhsi, the Iranian who spearheaded
demonstrations in Tehran that led to the burning of the Danish embassy there.
Bakhsi laughingly says the drawings look nothing like Mohammed but rather like
an Indian Sikh.

The key figure in the Mohammed cartoon affair, Jyllands-Posten newspaper’s
culture editor, Flemming Rose, is also interviewed in the documentary. He
explains his thinking at the time when he made the groundbreaking decision to
run the drawings in the paper.
