  • 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.

Christian leaders are expressing solidarity with the Jewish people after a terror attack targeting Jews perpetrated by an illegal immigrant in Boulder, Colorado, left several people injured, marking the second attack directed at Jews on United States soil in less than two weeks.

On Sunday, 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman threw a makeshift flamethrowerat eight people participating in a "Run For Their Lives" event on Sunday, a weekly walk in honor of the hostages taken by the terrorist organization Hamas since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack in southern Israel. So far, the victims in Sunday's attack, who ranged in age from 52 to 88, have survived, but one of them was engulfed in flames.

The FBI has labeled the incident as a "targeted attack." Soliman, who is an Egyptian national who overstayed a tourist visa, reportedly chanted the phrases "free Palestine," "end Zionists" and "they are killers" before conducting the attack.
