Thank you for putting a face on these people.

Its going to be needed.

Father, grant Your divine protection to those not involved in terrorism, and who do not support such horrific attacks...

[Askel5]

Oh, Oddither ... thank you so much for posting this.

You, your brothers and sisters, all innocent and suffering members of the family of Man, are in my prayers.

Of course- an Afghani fellow around here describes Taliban rule as like living in a prison.

Beautiful post.

I am nauseated over the hatred shown on this board. I will admit 24 hours of blind rage of mine own.

If we are praying right, IMO, we are looking deep inside ourselves, "see if there be any wicked way in me."

That is hard to do, but absolutely necessary if we dare to ask for God's blessings.

Your brothers will be included in my prayers for all the innocents.

Out of curiousity...what kind of work were your parents involved in that sent them to Afghanistan?

[Lurker]

Thanks for posting this.

A few folks around here could use reminding that most Muslims in this country are as fine and patriotic Americans as any of us. The way some people around here are talking lately, I shouldn't even let my son play with the Muslim kids on my block.

Thanks again.

there is no Patriot like someone who chose to be an American...

I can not believe so few have responded to this beautiful post ...

I have some experience in witnessing the breathtaking Patriotism new citizens to this Country exude .... and their hearts are aching this day.

Many are all too familiar with the face of evil ... and the utter destruction which can be visited upon the innocent ... they just never expected to see it here ...

Our great and just Country will be fighting many battles ... on many fronts in the coming days.... weeks ~~~ months ... and years ... but we must be ever mindful of who the true enemy is ...

We made some mistakes in WWII ... let us not repeat them now ... here ... in this time ...

FOCUS ... focus, patience ... resolve ... vigilance ... reason ... then ... JUSTICE ... clean and true.

Big BUMP for the innocents that had NOTHING to do with this attack, and a prayer that they will not become part of the human shield that these terrorists are even now building around themselves...

May God bless you and your brothers, Oddither. This was a very moving post.

My daughters (both born in China) are now American citizens like your brothers. I worry that if we're ever at war with China, they'll be discriminated against despite their American citizenship. I'm worrying about something that might happen though, whereas your concerns are very real.

I'll keep your family in my prayers.

[LeeMcCoy]

Would you please put this request on the prayer thread?

[amom]

Prayers for your brothers. I know they are not to be counted among the crowd of those who cheer at our loss. I pray folks will be able to see the difference.

[muggs]

Here's another bump for your brothers and all peace loving people in America and all around the world.

[Ff--150]

Your brothers ARE Americans! Period! End of statement! Hold your heads up high, Americans :)

[Pegita]

Joining the circle of prayers that surround your brothers and all the innocents of this world ... as we pray for wisdom for our President, may He give us wisdom, as well.
