It couldn’t have been a muslim that committed the murder. Everyone knows that Islam is the religion of peace.

Thanks for that link.

This information broke my heart:
“Fr Daniel was 35-years-old and his wife and three children survive him. In recent years, he devoted much time to missionary work, in particular, he founded a school of street preachers in Moscow and began to organise similar courses in Saratov, Ulyanovsk, and Murmansk.”

This hits a little close to home. I have a good friend who is a missionary in Muslim lands, with his wife and baby. I worry about them, though I think they are doing good work.

If Islam ever take over the world, they will try and destroy Christianity and Judaism. Yet so many Christians and Jews continually make excuses for Islam.

True, only weak kneed and useful idiots are among the ignorant, sneaks, cheats and lair who promote this vile military and quasi-governmental movement that masquerades as a religion! Islam is an affront to humanity; as a side note, has anyone noticed that the Foreign Nations Association, aka U.N., is the biggest supporter of this dogma.

The fruit of the Muslim tree is envy, hatred, death and destruction. Almost every war on this planet involves Muslims.
