It is interesting that most people want him to feel something... I can't tell you how true it is that he needs to feel something... It is too late for him to understand the consequences of his actions but this brings me back to something I heard once..."True evil is the complete lack of empathy!" I will wonder for quite some time what makes a person kill an innocent person they do not know from a distance (that may be a combination of cowardice and hostility)...

Well, we will have plenty of opportunities to discuss it... I do have the feeling that as time goes by, Mr. Muhammad is going to come to Jesus... It is just sad that so many people had to die for his enlightenment....

I read Evil of the Lie 20 years ago and still holds the best description of evil today IMO

He is going to come to Jesus alright when he gets dispatched to him. In the meantime, he can pray and repent all he wants, but it's too late for that too. God's saving grace while in the flesh body is a gift for anyone who chooses to receive it, but that does not extend to murderers. That's how grave and serious the offense is. Does that mean that all murderers will go to hell? Well, God is the judge, and that is why he wants muderers dispatched to him. So the perp can face God, and his victims for the real trial.

It can't hurt for a murderer to pray, and ask forgiveness, but they are never "saved" and forgiven while here.
