Praying for the Terrorists.
Prayers that their hearts may be softened and they may come to repentance.
There are those among us who pray for demons; how much more so should we pray for our fellow humanity who, bearing the likeness of God in the Incarnation, have forgotten their divine calling and have become subject to passions.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.


As for those who have died in recent violence against their fellow man, let us pray for their souls.
The burden they carry with them before the Throne of God Almighty is immense.
They were drunk on delusion but are now sober in despair.

Pray for the young men and women who are seduced into believing they must commit atrocities to gain favour with God.

Wounds such as these are not healed by retribution but with forgiveness.
"For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions." - Gospel According to St. Matthew, sixth chapter.

Amen.

In times like this it is good to remember our calling not to repay evil for evil, but to bless, and to have faith that the Lord will repay as He will. In that, both the perpetrators and the victims -- like all of us -- must depend on the same mercy of God, who is the just judge. Lord have mercy.

Avoiding politics in geo-political thread....nope, unavoidable. Radical Islam is the terror of our time. We can fight it or lay down and let it consume us all. How can we avoid the politics of this?

Gurney im sympathetic to your views. The problem is alot of things need to change for things to change.

First off because of the enlightenment regime which hijacked western history, the west needs to reclaim its history from the 5th column.
Would Charles the Hammer Martel consider some of these terrorists "frenchmen" as the french themselves recognize them? Martel defeated the islamic element only for his disobedient progeny to allow them back in.

2. The memory of the crusades need to be rehabilitated. Following the current western regime which needs to villify the previous regime to make itself seem "enlightened", it has lied in history books making the crusades all-evil. The crusades were formed to take back lands STOLEN by muslims and whose native peoples were neither arab nor turk. The crusaders were self funded, their incentives and financial backing came from the booty. Thats where everything went wrong. But this was the same thing the muslims were doing. Islam allows 3 days of looting for soldiers that conquer infidel lands. After that the leaders take the rest. Infact the Koran explicitly teaches that slaves from conquered lands are divine reward. That a married muslim can have sex with a female slave because God directly rewards him with it.
3. All this multicultural, diversity crap is nonsense. No greek, no chinese, no hindu buys into it. Its for the western elite who need to fill a vacuum because they have been stripped of customs and traditions and holidays.Mass Immigration both legal and ilegal is the scourge of the 20 and so far of the 21st century. The western elites refuse to explain the differences between migrant and ex-pat. Between massive hordes and sporadic immigration. Between those natives that marry foreigners and those that are asylum seekers. Explaining the difference between natives and barbarians, etc.
Western immigration policies are immoral. Fix them and you fix most of your problems.

4. Fix the failed foreign policy. No more hegemony, no more global army , no more proxy forces. Each nation must resolve its own problems without meddling from third party imperialists.
