Christianity Helps Ease Relations with Iraqi Muslim

Here's an AP story that won't get a lot of distribution. But I have it for you here:

US Soldier Says His Christianity Eased Relations With Iraqi Muslims

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A US Army officer says his Christian faith helped rather than hindered his relations with Muslims in Iraq.
In a speech at the Family Research Council, Lieutenant Pete Hegseth said the Muslims he dealt with respected sincere Christians as "men of the book and of faith." Hegseth said he and Iraqi Muslims were both able to talk in terms of serving God, and that united rather than dividing them.
Although political and religious freedom remains rare in the Islamic world, Hegseth said devout Muslims are fighting alongside Americans against radicals and insurgents.
