There is an old book
We must love our enemy
Pray for their lost souls


Matthew 5:44

Old book or not, it is impossible for me to love that bunch of murdering thugs.

yes, me too. It is easier to hate them, but then we become more like them. Better to love their humanity enough to pray they see they worship a false idol and do not embrace the true Islam faith. ~L

Lori, you said, "but then we become more like them." No, I don't believe we become like them at all. I hate only them, but they hate anyone who will not profess their love for the Islam faith, and they find them and savagely kill them.

Could equally apply to The Bible. 'Christian' kings spent the money of the poor to force crusades on people thousands of miles away. ISIS are evil, as were the crusaders. Time?  you tell me. Apparently, both The Bible and The Koran teach peace. Trust me that is bullshit!

Good point Red. I think that where the Holy books end and the bullshit begins is with the religions that follow. Hate is the opposite of peace. Our own home grown self radicalized terrorists have hate in their hearts. Hate has become the true enemy. ~L

since half of the people doing the killing are all brainwashed or kidnapped you can't really hate the soul that departs from the cause of it, the true isis hate belongs to those that do the brainwashing and the ones that give the orders.
