Je suit Paris

This is not food-related, nor is it about my battle with breast cancer...but, it is about survival.






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???
