Everything depends' on bringing Christianity to Iraq.

Bringing Christianity to Iraq is the only way to end violence there.

Well will this work ?

They can't even agree on Islam. As if they need something else to confuse them.

What could it hurt? Doesn't seem like much of anything else has worked, why not.

There's a great Iraq policy!

Let's require that every male child under the age of 12 be sent to a US-run camp in the desert for "re-education" to ensure that when they are released back into society at age 18 they won't be terrorists. What could it hurt?

Let's import a vast army of mimes at a cost of $3.7 billion dollars to bring laughter and hope to those poor beleagured Iraqis. Doesn't seem like much else has worked, why not.

Yes. What that country really needs is one more religious faction.

I will note that the article says it can't confirm that he actually said that.

If Christianity was brought to the US (meaning that American's followed the Bible and thus US policies would reflect Christian principles) it would go a long way toward resolving the war in Iraq.

Oh! Christianity will solve all problems. History has made a lie to that statement time and time again.

well , let's say : christian principles as practiced by the mennonites .

i don't think they are known as murderous people , but rather as peace-loving and peace promoting , from what i understand .
recently saw a short news clip about mennonite relief services in africa .
when the relief workers were asked if they were also preaching christianity , the workers said , they were in africa to provide relief and not to preach !
imo that's true christianity !

That's true humanity! I am a Buddhist. I dare say, I resent a society that restricts religious freedom saying "it's my way or the highway".

"it's my way or the highway".

According to this article he said it.

Quote:
"Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men. Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the Savior."


This article seems to back it up by his spokesperson

Hayes: Iraq missionary or misunderstood?




Robin Hayes is an heir to a textile fortune and a former GOP candidate for N.C. governor. Since 1999, he has represented part of the Charlotte area in Congress. Next up: missionary to the Middle East?

A weekly newspaper in Concord, Hayes' hometown, quoted the congressman this week as saying that stability in Iraq ultimately depends on "spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men." Hayes was speaking to the Concord Rotary Club.

"Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the savior," Hayes added, according to the Concord Standard and Mount Pleasant Times.

The comments drew some sharp-tongued responses. Some Democrats accused Hayes of wanting to convert Muslims. They compared him to the Crusaders of a millennium ago.

"Invade Their Countries, Kill Their Leaders, and Convert them to Christianity: Ann Coulter? No, Rep. Robin Hayes," wrote Duncan Black, a popular Philadelphia-based blogger nicknamed Atrios.

After his speech, Hayes revised his comments. He said they were in "the context of spreading Christian principles rather than Christianity."

His spokeswoman, Carolyn Hern, told The Source she did not attend the speech but that she has no reason to doubt the accuracy of Hayes' initial quotes. She blamed Democrats for taking them out of context.

"It's interesting how these bloggers can distort the news," Hern said.

Among Hayes' other comments about the news: "The war in Iraq has got to be won; it's being won."
