Once more pictures in the media show hooded terrorists reading lists of demands, promises, and threats; Boasting of what they have done and will do if others don't bow to their will. If they are so proud then why don't they show themselves? Cowards. And shame on some of them for saying that they are fighting in the name of Allah. It was wrong for the Crusaders, it was wrong for the Pope's armies, and it's wrong today. Men who embrew their hands in the blood of others in the name of God are no men of God.
Some time ago -- shortly after 9/11 -- the mock-news site The Onion published an "interview" with an angry God who was tired of people fighting in His name. Despite finding funny myself, many people were upset at this "sacrilege." I think they missed the point, however, that our Father is a loving deity. After all, he sent his only son for our salvation. Peace & Prayers.
