Foggy monitor alert.
May God comfort those who mourn..I thank them for serving our country..This is a very powerful story.
May the children who survive these atrocities grow up in freedom.
No amount of Zarqawi's will ever take away the power of faith.
A Misty Eyed Bump...Thank You.
I've heard this ridiculous argument before, and I'm surprised that somebody is still using it.
McVeigh acted one time and he was one man, (though some journalists and others who've researched the case claim that ISLAM was behind the plot). None-the-less, McVeigh never attacked the Murrah building under the banner of Jesus Christ and His Church, and he did not consider himself a Christian martyr. Islamic terrorists murder in cold blood, in the name of 'allah' and 'martyrdom' every single day of the year, year after year after year).
No matter how many islamic terrorists are killed, and there have been tens of thousands of them sent to 'allah' since 9/11, they keep getting replaced by other muslims. This cannot be said of McVeigh. Islam is a religion of blood, and though there are surely those amongst them who like peace as much as anybody else, it is the religion itself that warps their minds, perverts their thinking and undermines their consciences.
They are willing to kill anyone, simly to terrorize. We are willing to befriend anyone, in the interest of a lasting peace. We do not hate the Iraqis. We wish them peace. The terrorist wishes for another government like Husseins, which can continue to torture in perpetuity.
This is a nice article. It does bother me when people say things like the following. "This innocent Muslim child, who had been observing Ramadan the way a child does, was now dying despite the fact that my blood was moving though his veins, despite the fact that I pleaded with G-d to do what I thought was right, to keep him alive. But G-d had other plans."
The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death. If God were to nulify the wages of sin, how would the universe comprehend the full extent of it's impact?
Satan's forces cast this kid's immeidate fate. God didn't. In the end God will rectify this.
I'm sure the good chaplain realizes this.
"isn’t this the kind of world we are fighting for — a world where an Imam teaches a Rabbi words from the Holy Koran to comfort a young Muslim boy, and that rabbi himself is comforted by a Christian, a Catholic priest."
"Why are we sacrificing so many American lives and placing so many in harm’s way? What is the purpose of it all? Well, I don’t really know the big picture. But from my small sector of the battlefield, the reason I am here is to give “the least of these,” my children over here, a shot at “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” — just like my other children living in America."
Big Bump!
Thanks for the post.
The blood of these innocents is on the hands of the Jihadists in Iraq and the rat $inators in America like:
Kennedy, Kerry, Boxer, Fineswine, Schumer, Reid, Hagle, Rockefeller, Leahy and other rats who condemn GW and love the terrorists.
My understanding is that mcveigh stated in an interview he was more of an agnostic. He never claimed to be a christianas far as I read
Your point is well taken, and I am surprised the Chaplain seems to have no awareness that Islam has NOT been the eternal religion of the Iraqi people. As recently as 1947, tehre were 175,000 Jewish people in Baghdad for one example, and there were millions of Christians before the invading Islamic hordes in the 600's. The story gives too much credit to Islam for the nice people of Islamic countries, forgetting that they would have remained nice people had they been allowed by the jihadists to stay Christian or Hindu or Jewish. Islam is merely a terrorist political movementr to take over the world with a pretense that allah told them to do it.
CONTRARY TO THE TEACHINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET MOHAMMED?????
The people who say this, and those who believe it, are in serious psychological trouble. Denial of this magnitude is a true illness.
As long as the Koran exists, with the INSTRUCTIONS to kill non Muslims in black and white, this is the biggest lie perpetrated on humanity in millenia.
The terrorists ARE following Islam as it is written.
It is a LIE to say otherwise and intentionally misleading( not to mention insulting) to try to convince others. Muslims who say this LIE, Americans who say this LIE and anyone who believes it is a fool.
The truth is in the Koran.
I'm generally one cold-stone hearted SOB.....
I still have a lump in my throat after this article...
Obviously the chaplain is a good and sincere man.
However, the child didn't die for Allah, he died for nothing at the hands of Satan's minions - the Muslims.
Islam was spread across the region through warfare and violence for the first 500 years of its history.
And all three religions are mutually exclusive - that is, all three say in their scriptures that they are the only way to God. Those who believe the nice little idea that all religions are different ways to the same god are in for a shock. Every man should examine religion and make a choice - it absolutely DOES matter what path you take.
For me and my family, Jesus is Lord. There is too much evidence in His favor to choose otherwise.
But not on the good Chaplain!
Bump for later
