Mother-in-laws says “we cannot imagine how this happened.”
Plain & Simple Muslims lack Christians values such as “love thy neighbor as you love yourself” and forgiveness as in when offended “turn the other cheek.” So it is not islam, it is the lack of Christian values which creates terrorists. Christian values based on Judeo-Christian teachings.
It is the ancient code of "an eye for an eye" that places the responsibility for exacting vengeance for wrongs done to persons on those persons themselves. It rules in most societies, and especially among members of various gangs.
It stands in stark contrast to the truth of God's word, namely that "Vengeance is Mine", saith the Lord!
Now, don't get me wrong. I hope the LEO's or whoever interviews the surviving bomber shows him photos or the dead brother he ran over, along with photos of the little boy he blew up with the bomb he set down right beside him! And that these photos, plus a whole bunch of other gruesome photos of his victims are ORDERED to cover the walls of his very small little cell, so he can--literally--see the blood that is on his hands!
But, ONLY to the end that he might seek, from the TRUE God--and His own beloved Son--the mercy and grace of forgiveness of the sin into which every human being was born, but also for which Christ went to the cross to cover with His own redeeming blood.
You are right. It is a "chip on the shoulder" permanently offended, self-righteous, "personal honor" attitude that is a disease of Islam. Christianity, when it is practiced, recognizes that we are all condemned sinners. Our only righteousness is in Christ and what he has done for us. That is why we can absorb an insult and not go kill a bunch of people.
You mean when her daughter started dressing like an Islamist woman with long shapeless clothing and head covering she did not have a hint?
