Massacre – A Solution of Last Resort
These are the facts as I have them:
• The Muslim gunman in Orlando was a homosexual
• He knew homosexuality was strongly forbidden in the Koran
• He frequented the homosexual club before his attack
This is where I believe this left him:
• He could no longer reconcile himself with the tenets of Islam
• There was no way out
• The only ray of hope was mass murder for Islam
• This would guarantee his acceptance into “paradise”
• What better target than the source of his failing
This is the problem:
• There is no path for forgiveness/reconciliation in Islam
• Islam leaves the “sinner” to deal with his “sin” on his own
• For “big” sins, jihad is the only way back
Those of us raised with the forgiveness of sin through Jesus way never have felt the true weight of our life of sin. I have heard the witnesses of converts from Islam to Christianity describing this weight being lifted off their shoulders. This is very real – and a real problem for Islam. The religion they hate the most offers the only way out.
I fear we are in for many more of these “Solutions of Last Resort”.
That was vividly shown by the Egypt Air pilot who was being sent back to Egypt to be fired. He wasn’t in the flight crew, he gained access to the cockpit by a ruse.
“ALLAHU AKBAR! Gimmee those 72 virgins!”
Good analysis.
