Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
In a rare break among Islamic terrorist groups and countries that support them, the Pakistani Taliban has been roundly denounced for their attack on a school that left 132 children dead.
The Pakistani Taliban has been attempting to justify their attack by saying that the assault was revenge against the army for an offensive against the terrorist organization. The terrorists said their families had suffered losses, so it was right to kill the children of army members.
The spokesman for the Afghanistan branch of the Taliban condemned the attack as being against the basics of Islam.
“The intentional killing of innocent people, children and women is against the basics of Islam and this criteria has to be considered by every Islamic party and government,” Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement, according to Reuters.
The Iranian government also released a statement strongly condemning the terrorist action.
“This is a totally un-Islamic and inhumane act. Terrorism, extremism and endangering the lives of innocent people, in any form and with any objective, is condemned,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham told reporters.
Pakistan’s prime minister Nawaz Sharif says the government had tried to negotiate with the terror group but the talks broke down, leading to a military offensive against the group.
Mercy. Sending Light to the child ancestors to find their way heavenward. Sending Light to their surviving families to find peace and comfort in the arms of the Most High. Sending Light to Pakistan and all Islamic countries to dispel darkness as they find the grace and honor of Islam, which commits them to the will of Allah, not the ravages of war, murder, evil and false allegiance to terror. May the 132 children remain as all children a symbolic reason to Love and reject terrorism in all its forms. And may the children killed in the streets of Chicago whether unlawfully by police, gangs or thieves and their families also find the Light of reason and Peace that reverses such madness, such unneeded violence and street warfare. And may the Most High God send angels to watch over us and the means to produce lasting love and Peace to reverse such evil. Asè
