This person is Not a Christian if he wants to destroy this good nation with lawlessness.
He has a christian duty to help these people clean up their countries.

I don't consider it a "Christian duty" because to me it isn't about being a "Christian" it's about doing the right thing and using common sense. Christians don't have a monopoly on doing what is correct, but so many people attribute doing what's correct to religion.
I'm an atheist who has never been arrested and often I go out of my way to aid a friend. I do what I do because I promised myself when I was young, that I would always try to 'never do anything I was ashamed of doing'. It has nothing to do with religion for me. I didn't promise myself that because I was afraid of going to hell, or that some spirit would condemn me, I did it because I promised myself to do the right thing.
Those that are religious have often been good examples for others, but also many preaching have been hypocrites. Religion has overall been good for this country and should not be kicked to the curb as it seems this political and social climate today wants to do. I'd fight tooth and nail to keep the "one nation under god" ideals that this country was founded on. Why? Because I promised my self to do the right thing.
