>>>I did not post this in the politics section. I did not post it for political reasons. Set aside the politics and look at the great human courage, perseverence, and strength that these boys have. Then consider the others.

>>>Please don't politicize this thread. Despite your political posts, I know you to be a charitable person, so I would hope you would look at it through those eyes. The film is a documentary. The film intentionally left politics out of it, the synopsis is only provided for background in order to provide the information as to why the boys were on the run on their own trying to survive in a war-torn environment where all boys were being murdered.

>>Tracy, you are quite right, but there is also a looming danger for the world in this story. If it happened there, it can happen anywhere. Their pattern seems to be: As a population of muslims grows in an area, the more they want to convert those around them. If there is no conversion they often proceed to persecute what they see as opposition to their demands. It is a very strange behavior that allows no peace with it's friends and neighbors.

No Mike, I'm just basing the comments on what I have observed. No one knows the future. No one ever has. Many Christians and Muslims are being grossly misled by a style of writing that was popular in early times. Indeed there are so many "believers" on both sides of the issue that they may very well become a force that will make what they believe will happen come to pass. And I find that to be very scary.
