Radical Christian Missionaries in Iraq

I can understand why someone set against organized religion will not agree with one sharing their faith in Jesus but I have some difficulty believing YOU don't have the intellectual brain power to understand the reason behind the sharing of ones faith. You know Christians believe there is only one way to find salvation. If that salvation is not accepted the person will not spend eternity in heaven, their soul will be lost forever. Knowing this on an intellectual level, weather you agree philosophically or not, it's obvious these people are trying to save souls out of love for their fellow man and faith in God.

I KNOW you understand this even if you don't agree with their belief. Just as I can see love in a Muslim sharing and trying to convert people to their faith. Even though I don't agree with them and think their faith will lead to death, I still KNOW it's done out of love and faith.
