Whatever p***** for Christianity in the self-proclaimed Christian 
leaders of the US and other western nations appears to have have little 
effect on their pacifism. 'Gott mit Uns' has been a very popular 
rallying cry.

Islam claims to be a religion of peace, and I see little evidence of 
that either. Judaism, the antecedent of both faith, hardly seems to have 
tempered the Likudniks.
