  • 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.

The Afghan asylum seeker who drove a car into a union demonstration in Munich, Germany, reportedly said the words “Allahu akbar" and prayed, according to a prosecutor who believes the attack may have been driven by an "Islamist" motive.

Farhad Noori, 24, admitted that he deliberately plowed into a crowd of people gathered in the city center on Thursday and injured 36 people, according to Reuters.

The attack occurred hours before U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in the city, but police do not see a connection between the incident and the visit from the two political leaders.
