Terror is a form of warfare we citizens of the USA do
not understand. As a nation of ‘mostly’ civilized folk, we cannot imagine strapping
explosives to our body to kill ourselves and take as many other lives as
possible while doing it. The thought is foreign to our thinking.
I was shockingly amused at the statement of the police
chief in Munich lately who said:
Although the shooter
was yelling ‘Alla Akbar’ he said: “This is probably not linked to ISIS.”
But isn’t that what the ISIS is calling for? Lone
Wolves to attack using any means available.
It seems to be working. In many countries we are seeing common citizens ‘terrorized’.
I can somehow
understand someone raised in the desert, who is scraping for food and owns nothing
other than what they are wearing not caring for their lives. That person can be
convinced to do things so he/she will have a great ‘after life’ as promised by ‘The
Prophet’. Just wear the suicide vest, pull the cord, kill infidels and be in
paradise.
BUT I cannot understand a person who has tasted freedom, a job to earn
money for food and housing. One who is enjoying the amenities of a ‘civilized
society’ killing themselves for a cause?
In the past few months, in an attack in France one suicide bomber was
caught. He said, “I could not pull the ‘trigger cord’ on my vest, I wanted to
live.” My hope is many more start to
feel the same.

My thoughts too about the lone wolves. I always notice how young most are and think what a shame. I will never understand the mind of a terrorist. They are brainwashed and have no conscience.

I pray for tge terrorists sometimes, especially those who are young, maybe considering joining up. I pray they will come to know the love of Jesus instead. It Iis so sad there is so much hatred in this world that people would be willing to kill themselves while inflicting pain and suffering on others.

For the life of me, I'll never understand the hatred which exists towards the United States. Reminds me of the kamikaze pilots that bombed Pearl Harbor. Delusional.
Sorry, but I have to agree with the late, great General Schwartzkopf who said: “I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting.”
I agree it is hard to understand this way of thinking by a terrorist. They have been so brainwashed. The devil has obviously promised them so much more. And what they will see everlasting (in hellfire) will certainly be too late for the ones that DID and Do pull the trigger.
I can't understand someone wanted to kill themselves for the sake anything.
Life is not easy we have to make the best of all situations. We work, play have good friends and enjoy life. Then there is retirement to enjoy..
It is a sad sad thing that someone could do something like take their own life, but there are many that don't have much to live for. Lots of prayer is definitely needed. Wish I could wrap the world in a big hug and show everyone, just how loved they are.
