We are saddened and shocked at the killings in Paris by ISIS http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/16/us-france-shooting-idUSKCN0T22IU20151116#aUdSsHG2hFY7YAcr.97. The violence in the world is needless and insane. That the world can be held at bay, as fear hostages, by ISIS is a little insane. There have been so many terrorist attacks and to what end? The radicalized Muslims give the real religion of Islam a black eye. Like "Christian radicals" who belong(ed) to the Klu Klux Klan, these radicals do not represent religion. They represent bigotry, hate mongering, greed, lust for power, lust for domination over people who are unable to protect themselves.
That the world has not been able to eradicate ISIS demonstrates the weakness of the political position of failure to commit. I do not believe in violence and war, but I am not sure how else ISIS can be fought. My wish would be that Western and Middle Eastern Countries alike would unite for their own safety and security, demonstrate a united front and destroy ISIS.
Meanwhile, we must reach out to France. We must let the French people know that we stand with them, support them in their adversity, and support their efforts to take back their lives. We do this with prayers, vigils, and support of their efforts to help the Syrian refugees and fight ISIS.
We must let the French people know that we will not forget their suffering on 11/13/15, that we will not forget the fatalities, the other victims, the survivors of the acts of terror on this date. Because the French people truly are survivors.
November 20, 2015 on the news, we learned that Parisians were in the streets en masse and at the exact time of the first shots of the disaster, a large noise was made, and lights came on, and the French people told ISIS that they will be STRONG!
Hurrah for the people of Paris! Hurrah for the people of France!
