"No peace among the nations without peace among the religions. No peace among the religions without dialogue between the religions. No dialogue between the religions without investigation of the foundation of the religions" -Hans Kung
My heart felt sadness and sorrow when I heard about what happened to Paris last Friday, November 13, 2015. The City of Love became a city filled with darkness, grief and anguish. I really don't understand why the ISIS had to do it to them but I know that it is rooted from the conflict in religion and this will not be the last time they would attack. What's more threatening is that France took revenge and has already declared war against them and it will surely cause more death for all the nations involved. ISIS even released a new propaganda video praising the Paris attacks and threatening to launch an attack on Washington and other countries involved in the international coalition bombing its militant strongholds in Syria and Iraq. This season should be the most wonderful time of the year. Not a season of war, violence and hostilities. Conflict causes death, poverty and diseases. Despite of all the issues our world is facing today, I still think that there are a lot of reasons we should be thankful and hopeful for. I know that God is with us and all these chaos will end soon. There is nothing more important than praying and being faithful to Him, especially this Christmas season.
