Russian children hostage
| Wed, 09-01-2004 - 1:55pm |
I have looked at many different boards, on many different sites on this and I am disturbed by the fact most people seem to be embracing hate. On one site people were advocating extermination of all musilims(sp?). Is any one else disturbed by this?
I think we can all agree that we want the children and other to come out of that school safely. Why don't we each spend a few minutes in prayer to our respective God or gods for the safety of these people and the sanity of our race. I find it so hard to understand anyone advocating the complete extermination of a religion, or group of people. We may not be able to change some of those attitudes, but we can sure as hell try. Compassion is indiginous to all isn't it?

Amen. God help us all.
An aside: After 9/11, we saw candlelight vigils held by hundreds of thousands around the world. Where are the American vigils for the Russian children?

My DD mentioned the same...so we have a special candle that we've been lighting every evening in remembrance.
Hey charla...it may not make the news...but see the link below...perhaps we could have our OWN candlelight vigil on this board?
