Will ISIS Conquer Christianity ???

During their latest beheading event, ISIS threatened to "conquer Rome", which I interpret to mean conquer Christianity:

I would like to point out to them that there are far fewer Christians in the world than ISIS may believe.

Here's why I say this:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:43-45 KJV

The vast majority of people in the US and Europe and their governments do not do what Jesus said to do, and they constantly do things Jesus said NOT to do. To me this means they are not Christians.

I challenge anyone to read Matthew Chapter 5 or the other gospel versions of the Sermon on the Mount and then try to justify the actions of the US and the EU as "Christian". They are not.

Some in ISIS and the US may think that what is happening is a religious war, but it's not. At least not in the sense that we understand such a thing.

What both sides are doing, however, is very much like what is described in the Book of Revelation. G-d is compelling both sides of this conflict to fight each other. He is drawing them to the site of the final battle, and then He alone shall determine their fate.

And if we had truly had acted like Christians, none of this ever would have happened.
