The recent terrorist attacks in Paris, France occurred on
Friday the 13th , the same day that my dog, Lady, passed away. I do not want to compare the two events, but
I will always remember the dates together.
I remember 9-11 as the day that I spent escorting a friend who was intellectually
challenged to the Knox County Fair.
I have noticed that this act has been denounced by leaders
of both Christian and Muslim nations, and leaders of nations that are usually
enemies of each other. The fact that the
same group responsible for this also downed a Russian civilian passenger jet
just a few days before adds to the over-all atmosphere, and we now hear the
term World War Three being used. The
Allies from WWII seem to be reviving, with the Axis joining in. And the hacker group Anonymous is joining in,
to the delight of just about everyone, even the previous victims of the group.
I have spent the last few days on Facebook commenting on the
many posts that others have made, filled with hate and prejudice. The monsters of ISIL want the refugees sent
back to Syria so that they can rape the women and children, kill the men who
they can’t use as soldiers, and generally use and abuse them. When people in America say we must refuse to
help the refugees, they hand a victory to the monsters of ISIL. When we condemn all Muslims, we hand them a
victory.
The people from ISIL consider their -selves to be fundamentalist, but like the so-called Christians who use the same term, they are anything but.
As a Christian, I say we should show the Muslims what a
Christian is. Greet them with love, tell
them Jesus loves them and that GOD IS NOT A LIAR! Americans who are not Christian should show
the Muslim refugees that Lady Liberty still stands!
And, remember who sent us Lady Liberty!
