  1. No. There is a time for peace, and a time for war.


  2. you took those verses out of context...

    and God is not anti-war, he is anti-evil and some times war is the only thing that can get rid of evil (WWII for instance)

  3. Yes, just like how Al-Qaeda is anti-Muslim.  

  4. No he's all for it! Like the Dylan song says They've got God on their side.
