Greetings and peace be with you nbegam;
A few years ago, Syria seemed to be a good place to live in, according to the Syrians I have heard speaking about their country. Tragically civil wars always seem so brutal, neighbours against neighbours, the same neighbours who had lived peacefully with each other in the past.
Only a God solution can bring about mercy, forgiveness and peace. We are all created by the same God, and you will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God. Mercy, forgiveness and peace cannot be achieved with guns and bombs, these are not God solutions.
I have always been against military action by America, Britain, Russia and others, but sadly the voice of anti war is rarely heard above all the shouting for blood. You might look up The South Africa Truth and Reconciliation Commission, it is a good model to search for peace.

When I first came across this, I looked for stories of real people, the first one I came across was about a girl who had been stoned to death. The video is 18 minutes, the first couple of minutes talk about forgiveness with Bible quotes, but you have the same kind of verses in Islam, so I hope you would not be offended. the story talks about the parents meeting two of their daughters murderers, and their journey together. If you watch the following video, it talks about the parents setting up employment for the men who had murdered their daughter, both videos are incredibly powerful.

In the spirit of striving to forgive.
