Going back to what I heard the night before last about, “Clouds of Moslem Iniquity…24 hours” (see earlier posts) I just read that UN workers in Afghanistan were attacked today (so far, at least 12 were killed, and 24 injured) in retaliation for the burning of a Quran by a pastor down here in Florida (I was thinking in terms of clouds of smoke from the burning itself leading to what happened).
Leaving aside the other stuff I thought I heard about rain, etc., I wonder if that’s what I was being told about (it was more than 24 hours after I heard the sentence, but maybe that had another meaning–and the earthly concept of “time” isn’t one of his strong points!). I also wonder if similar responses are coming…a chain reaction.
There is no justification whatsoever for the attacks and the taking of lives (especially the lives of people who had nothing to do with the burning), but there is definitely “iniquity” on both sides. I wonder about Christians who so easily talk about Old Testament ”vengeance” and “righteousness,” etc., but seem to have censored out Jesus’ very simple teachings about love from the Gospels, and from their hearts and minds.
