Oh Lord, have mercy on Your people.
I have never seen a time when Christians rise in anger against brothers and sisters of another faith. Why are our Muslim brothers silent in a moment like this? Does this silence mean they support the evil acts committed by the wicked among them?
Why should religion be used as a reason to kill those who choose not to believe the same way? If you must destroy everyone who refuses to accept your belief, then who will be left for you to convince?
One of my own family members, a Muslim, once said during a family gathering: “When evil is committed against another and you remain silent, refusing to speak up, you are indirectly supporting that evil. Your silence makes you a part of it.”
Indeed, this is true. For all I know, God is love, and His Word declares:
“Whoever hates is of the devil, but whoever loves is from God.”
Let love, not hatred, guide our faith.
1 John 3
15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 4:20
20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, [a]how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Let love lead.
