This morning, as I read the latest
news about last night’s terrorist attacks in Paris, I couldn’t stop the tears;
I’m furious, heart-broken, and confused all at once. I’m all for this
solidarity movement, and supporting/praying for the victims and survivors of
Paris; they need our prayers and support, at this time! What happened in Paris, last night, is a
senseless tragedy…plain and simple!
But, I’ve also heard a lot of people
blame the Syrian refugees for the attacks; and there is some validity to that.
Now, before I get lynch-mobbed for jumping on the victim-blaming band wagon,
please hear me out....
The radical Islamic terrorists, who
committed that atrocity last night, are thinking along that line, as well;
wherever the Syrians seek asylum, the terrorists will follow, because the
Syrians have been unfairly marked for destruction. Therefore, it’s disturbingly
logical to assume that the reason behind the attack is because Paris is
harboring refugees (please don’t stop being compassionate toward those who are
less fortunate). How many other countries are now on the terrorist’s hit list??
We’re supposed to be protecting the refugees from their attackers…but, in order
to protect them, we need to protect ourselves, as well!!
How much more destruction are we going
to allow these radical terrorists to inflict on the world, before we put an end to their
agenda?? Isn’t that why our troops are stationed in the Middle East?? What’s
going on??
Just to clarify….I am in no way,
shape, or form blaming the Syrian refugees for any terrorist attack, brought on
by their plight; I know it’s NOT their fault! But, if that’s the way you want
to think, you might as well teach yourself to believe that the Jews were
responsible for the Holocaust; or, for that matter, the way they were treated
in Egypt, during the time of Moses. And what about Jesus; is He to blame for
the way He was treated?? Seriously???
NEWS FLASH: NO victim is to be blamed for the abuse and terror they endure!!! It’s NEVER the victim’s fault!!
But, I digress….this “War on Terror”
has only served to make matters worse (thanks for nothing, W)! What is the
world going to do to STOP anyone else from being terrorized by ISIS/Al Qaeda/IS
(or whatever they want to call themselves)??
I’m a very passive person, and don’t
believe in killing anyone, for any reason…but why aren’t these terrorists being
brought to justice??? It’s not like we don’t know who they are….when are we
going to stand up to them, as a human race (the entire world coming together as
one people) and STOP them from hurting the rest of us??
Bringing on World War 3 is NOT the
answer...that will only serve to end the lives of more people!! But, when is
enough going to be enough?? I don’t know about you….but I’m sick of hearing
about all the damage and destruction these radical terrorists have inflicted!!
Can we PLEASE just be decent human
beings, for once???
