Middle East Aflame: Does America Really Understand This Part of the World?

Current Events:

-Riots and killings at American embassies: Is this really just about a film, or rather, a people who interpret apologies as signs of weakness to be exploited?

-DNC Convention melodrama: Obama insisted that the party platform put back what was removed and state once again that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. But evidence shows that Obama was actually the one who removed it in the first place.

Theology:

If God is all loving and all powerful, why does He allow suffering and evil?
