It’s with
great sadness that I write this today.
My heart really goes out to Kenya; to the families first, to the
survivors, and to the newly departed. I was
watching the news all day yesterday to keep abreast of the situation; it’s very
hard for me to believe that religious indifference or religious intolerance is fought
not with knowledge but with a death sentence.
I sat there watching the television hoping that it was a bad dream that
I could just wake-up from; thinking to myself that this can’t be happening.
“Two or three Americans and one Briton were
among those who attacked a Nairobi shopping mall, Kenya's foreign minister said
Monday.”
It’s my belief
that you have a right to your religion; to believe what you want or in whom you
want to believe in. What I don’t believe
“is that you have the right to infringe upon the religious rights’ of others.” You have a God given right to choose what you
believe in; I just say, “choose wisely.” The day will come when each man/woman will be
judged in accordance to his own works.
“The FBI and
U.S. intelligence officials are "aggressively" investigating whether
or not Americans were among the militants who attacked the mall, a federal law
enforcement source told Fox News.” #Fox News
Personally, with
people (who like to kill innocent people) like this, I like to think what’s
behind the desire to spill innocent blood.
I don’t feel that it’s completely religious; in fact, I think it’s a cowardly
act. Maybe you feel different from me
but it’s my opinion. Because if the
incidence at Kenya Mall is a show of power then that purpose has already been
defeated; it’s the work of cowards that go after the weak and the unarmed not
the strong. The only real reason I can
think of for the militants’ to storm the Nairobi Mall was to “kill.” It doesn’t make you strong to kill the weak
and unarmed, it makes you murders. You’ve
accomplished nothing more than to create an atmosphere of fear. The question now is “where will this
atmosphere of fear take you?”
I’m praying
for a resolution in which no more lives are lost. It’s my hope that in the future we can learn
to accept our differences, to be tolerant of our religious beliefs, and to live
our lives together in peace and harmony in spite of our differences or our
beliefs. I just think that if you
have something important to say about your religion or your beliefs you can
find better ways to say it other than resorting to such inhuman practices.
As always it’s
your girl, Lady PJ, and information is power, so be informed. This blog is my opinion and based on my
beliefs. If you have any comments I
would love to hear from you. Much love
to you all.
