Thanks for the translation. I think (imho) the misunderstandings came because the post seemed to be "preaching to the choir." He said some things that were good and true, but the context was a little confusing. Everybody who posts on this board considers their primary citizenship to be in heaven. Nobody who posts on this board thinks that "God is American," and we certainly aren't defacing Muslim mosques or beating up our Arab neighbors. A lot of us, however, are honored that God chose to allow us to live in America; A land where Christian, Jew, and Muslim alike (to name a few) can live and worship in freedom.
Keep praying for healing, justice, and peace!
Shalom!
