We can pray against lots of things: poverty, violence, injustice, lies, etc, but never can we pray against people. We must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us so we can be children of our Father (Matt5:44-45) It is upsetting to see how easily people can equate people living in darkness to the Prince of Darkness and go off on a 'holy crusade' against people. We were all once living in darkness and blinded by lies. We were rescued by God's love. Let's rather try to rescue Muslims by God's love.
