"All of the members of this cell shared the same religious convictions,
an Islamic lifestyle, a feeling of being out of place in unfamiliar cultural
surroundings that they were not used to."
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar,
that when we see the image of indescribable and
unutterable desolation - of loneliness, of poverty and misery,
the end of all things, or their extreme - then rises in our mind the thought of God.
Prayer is communication with the Divine.
It can be whispered or chanted or written or
expressed in the work you do.
However it is expressed, it is never in vain.
I could not say I believe. I know!
I have had the experience of being gripped
by something that is stronger than myself,
something that people call God.
God has editing rights over our prayers.
He will... edit them, correct them,
bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.
Wat good wil it n 4 man f he gains d whol wrld. yet forfiets his soul?
Jesus loves u, my friend. He died 4 u on d cross at Calvary...
make Him ur Savior Day.
God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
"You have a combination of legitimate and
deeply foul religious objection with political opportunism and
part of this growing problem between the western world and Islamic world."
