  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yeah. I’ve been saying for months this administration is itching for a conflict with the American people. Now they got one. Really sad it had to even get to this point.


I can think of two that weren’t saved.
Looks like it was an Afghan national according to early reports, but we'll see once more confirmation is given.

If that's true it isn't surprising. Afghans amongst others have invaded Europe and caused plenty of issues.

The POTUS is acting before the facts of the case are known.



How do you know the immigrant is illegal?
The article reported that he entered the country in 2021 but was careful to leave out the fact that he is here illegally.

Muslims and those from Muslim countries should just not be allowed into Western countries, at least not to settle. They are a cancer on Europe that is becoming terminal and if this is true that it's an Afghan then it'll be added to the long list of proof that they're simply incompatible with Western society.

Geeeee, what possible reasons could Afghans have to leave their country and see refuge elsewhere?

Red herring, but people on this forum blamed Trump.
I pay attention to national news and am grateful for law enfocement in America. I worked very near the White House. My first date was with a Marine. I married a soldier.

Pope Leo wants us to pray for people suffering under the heavy burden of despair.

Not all suicides are obvious ones.....

I am going to guess that this Afgan citizen lost all hope, because he was going to be greatly outnumbered and most likely killed

I had a friend who was a veteran and saw combat. I always knew I was safe when we went out together. He made me feel protected at all times.

So trying to kill two people solved his problems?

Looks like this administration finally got what they’ve been looking for. These two Virginia servicemen would still be alive were they not needlessly deployed for Trump’s DC crime fighting theatre.
They were/are NOT from Virginia! Do you comprehend English?

I think he wanted death for himself and took others with him, is my guess....

Not a real solution, but obviously he was not able to think clearly

His permission to be in the USA expired in September. Therefore, he was here now illegally.
CNN is reporting he was granted asylum in April 2025.

* a bit off topic, but I truly miss my friend who was a war hero. He treated me like an officer and a gentleman. I miss those days.....

Let us all pray for peace and be grateful for what we have....

God bless you.

I'd say the perpetrator has earned the chance to stay in the US indefinitely. In prison. And if one or both of the victims die, he'll be facing federal murder charges, and the death penalty will be justified.

Look they all had their chance to band together and create a different type of country. They didn't. Its rheir own fault. Its not ours or anyone's else's responsibility to allow a bunch of third worlders into western nations to create problems in those countries.

Yes killed for the glory of Islam and Allah. This wasn't despair. This was Islamic martyrdom to enter paradise by killing infidels. Apparently he didn't get his wish.

God has judged them justly and God alone is the true judge.

Praying for peace throughout our land! Amen!
