Assalamu Alaikum

I need here to add that the fact of the Amish having chosen to forgive the murderer of their children is already having a substantial and positive impact upon the reality of how all of us in 'the west' will be enabled to perceive the difference between the insane as a criminal matter, and the sanity of a true believer.

What is almost as shocking as the act itself was the proposed protest by that crazy church group in Kansas. These are the same people who tried to protest at the funerals of dead soldiers waving around signs that said "God Hates You". The reason they give for protesting the fallen soldiers funeral was that the U.S. military allows homosexuals in its ranks, therefor God hates them. Sickening group this is. In the case of the Amish, they were going to protest the Amish community and say this act occurred because the Amish are going to Hell. Complete insanity. I'm glad that conservative talk show host gave them hour to voice their insanity so that they wouldn't protest at the funerals of these poor girls.

Salaam,

What a sad way to end.

He got angry at God
Instead of looking at the good that Allah have given him he sees the darkness.

This world is a tribulation,a test of our mettle...
To fall into misery and false hope,to lose power in oneself

Astarfillah

Allah,grant the Ummah meryc and strenghten our patience and tolerance,
Make the path clear for us,To you we TURN TO..

Like in Islam, the family member of a victim can forgive the killer (with reference to Qisas)

I believe it is called the Westboro Baptist Church. It is a small church made up mainly of family members. They seem to have alot of money though, and travel to high profile events to show their hatred of Catholics, gays, and just about everybody but themselves.

That sounds scary, Keltoi!
Sadly that is the negative power, religion can have over people.

I don't understand how anybody can harbour ill feelings against peaceful people, such as the Amish ...

Peace

Peace

Even non Christians have no animosity towards the Amish... and these 'crazy' people call themselves Christians?

Very sad,.
