Such a shame. Very sad to see.

The man killed 49 people. They were at prayer in mosques.

How can that be defended as if it were not wicked?

All that can be said is repent. Repent of the sentiment that created the words in the post quoted above.

Do you think we should, therefore, as good and staunch and upright and merciful Christians...

That we should drag up every instance of Islamic ideological crimes against humanity...

And point at the dirty-dog perpetrators of those horrific crimes??

They are legion, you know...

And try to gin up some hatred for their perpetrators?

Or should we merely hate the white supremacist criminals?

Or should we simply pray for all and love our enemies?

What would a Christian do?

What Did Jesus command?

... show mercy to all just as God showed mercy to us? Yes, I do.
