James Foley and the March of Thousands...
It is "an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world", said US President Barack Obama, and compared the Islamic State (IS) to a “cancer” and said they are ideologically “bankrupt”.
Beheading of American photojournalist James Foley by an Islamic State...British naturalized citizen...
American journalist is beheaded…
Of course it is barbaric…Of course it is “an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world.” Of course It is a “cancer” growing in the Middle East…and of course their ideology is “bankrupt”…
But, excuse me…
These people did not just pop on the scene yesterday…
They were in Syria before they appeared in Iraq…
They committed all kinds of atrocities in Syria…and no one “noticed”…no one cared…
They destroyed the churches in northern Syria…no one “noticed” and no one cared…
They killed Christians…and no one cared…
They kidnapped bishops…and no one cared…
They attacked Christian villages…and no one cared…
They looted properties of the minorities… and no one cared…
They attacked Christians in Damascus…and destroyed their churches …and no one cared…
They attached the Armenian Martyrs Chapel in northern Syria …and no one cared…
They beheaded Christians in mass … and no one cared…
They beheaded Christians in the dozens and published the videos on social media….and no one cared…
They destroyed Chaldean churches and no one cared…
They kidnapped mothers and daughters and raped them in the name of Allah…and no one cared…
They destroyed ancient Christian monuments from 310 A.D. and…no one cared…
They destroyed Noah’s monument in Iraq…and no one cared…
They displaced ALL the Christians in northern Iraq…in their thousands…and no one cared…
They destroyed Christian Churches …in Iraq…and no one cared…
They kidnaped Yezidi women and children and raped them…and no one cared…
They gathered together Yezidi boys and men and beheaded them…and no one cared…
They beheaded man and left them on sticks to decompose…so as to terrorize the villagers and …no one cared…
They crucified Christian man and all those who opposed them…and left the bodies to rot on the streets in Syria and Iraq…and no one cared…
And now…and now…they beheaded an American Journalist…
The person who beheaded the American journalist is a naturalized British Jihadist….
And now we are surprised that they are bold enough to behead Americans…and Westerners….
These people invaded Kessab…a Christian Armenian Village… They destroyed everything…they looted the entire village…They even took the metal wires from homes and walls and transported them to Turkey to sell…
They killed old men and women…and kicked the entire Christian population out…
This was done in April and May of this year…!
The West and the U.S. supported Turkey who was and still is supporting these barbarians…
The West and the U.S. supported these barbaric and ideologically bankrupt hordes … and helped them flourish…
And not they are after the West and now they are beheading U.S. journalists…
Indeed they are a “cancer” to be dealt with…But they were cancerous before too…
The U.S. and the West should not play politics with Jihadists and they should remove the “cancer” from the Middle east and from the Global Village…
Big Brother should not play politics with human life…

We have...We must learn from history...We should not repeat the errors of yesterday...
Read what pastor Martin Niemöller about Nazis in WW II...
MartinNiemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:
First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for homosexuals,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a homosexual.
Then they came for mentally and physically disabled,
and i didn't speak out because I was not disabled.
Then they came for Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.
Sometimes the above quot is attributed to fellow pastor Deitrich Bonhoeffer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer — a pastor and author …
Bonhoeffer’s decides to leave the safe haven of America and return to
Hitler’s Germany to work from within…He did not wait for evil to destroy him…
He ACTED…
We should not wait for them to behead and American journalist in order to act...
We should not wait for these barbaric hordes to strike Europe and Americas in order to act...
We must ACT whenever and wherever the Global Village is bleeding...
We should act in Ukraine...we should act in Syria...we should act in Iraq...and Afghanistan and Nigeria and Liberia and Sierra Leon...Somalia and Ferguson, Missouri...
After all, we have ONE Global Village...and with ONE god...
We must look after each other...We must share...and we have to wipe the tears of our neighbors...
