The first Marathon was run by Pheidippides to announce a Greek defeat of the Persians (Iranians). A this point one guess is as good as another. And this is just a guess. But they do seem to have lots of friends in that neighborhood.... from Wkipedia..... The traditional story relates that Pheidippides (530 BC490 BC), an Athenian herald or hemerodrome[2] (translated as "day-runner" (Kyle 2007),[5] courier (Larcher 1806),[6][7] "professional-running courier" (Sears 2003)[2] or "day-long runner" (Miller 2006)[8]), was sent to Sparta to request help when the Persians landed at Marathon, Greece. He ran about 240 km (150 mi) in two days. He then ran the 40 km (25 mi) from the battlefield near Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon (490 BC) with the word νικωμεν (nikomen[9]"We have won"), as stated by Lucian "chairete, nikomen" ("hail, we are the winners")[10] to then collapse and die. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheidippides
I am seeing this "if anyone can be offended" or "if someone says he or she might be un-comfortable" crap more and more. It takes away a persons right to explain him or herself and lets others ruin him or her. All because someone else can , at a whim, say "oh... i am offended or frightened" instead of having a dialogue between responsible individuals. These policies are all anti-individual.
Same here.

Saudis own a large share in Fox.
The prince who offered money to Guiliani after 911, who refused, later bought a large stake in Fox....it deliberately colors their reporting of Arab Muslim terrorism from the top down.
Jerry Doyle interviewed a woman who wrote about it.
They made “Muslim riots” in France become just “youth riots”.
May the Lord hold your daughter through this time
May the loving grace of His healing hand be upon her
May Mother Mary walk with her in her struggle
May peace come for all involved
May the prognosis become one of hope
May strength and guidance come for Chickensoup
