"Without speaking, he discharged at least four rounds from the pistol and is believed to have fled," [Burlington Police Chief] Murad said.
There is "reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab," [the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s] statement said. "According to the information provided the three victims were wearing a Kuffiyeh and speaking Arabic. A man shouted and harassed the victims, then proceeded to shoot them."
The Japanese soldiers were men in uniforms, and they weren’t hiding behind women and children. That was different war, and this one can’t be fought the same way.
It was her pastor, not mine. Still came as a shock to me. She was a genuine Christian, as is her husband. I naturally expected their pastor to be the same. I had to relearn that lesson about do not ass-u-me.
Morgana, thank you so much for your persistence. I’m hurting so bad right now over the death of my best friend, and her “pastor” has only made matters worse. I don’t wish to lay out all the details here, but Satan has clearly infected that church. I already knew he had infected many churches, but I hadn’t realized how much progress he had made. I thought of the pastors as having a herculean task of steering their flocks toward God’s true Message. I was completely blindsided by this pastor’s service to Satan, as he declared his service to Christ.
Your persistance, and the wonderful FReepers who stand with you, are a much needed balm for my wounds right now. God bless you.
