It only happens once every year or so, but when it does, the dam breaks and it's hard to see how anyone can be cheerful. I try to joke about things, especially the damn-it-all agitations. But mass shootings, and a few other things, sometimes pile up and have to be dealt with. And what can you do but cry? You can stand up for what you believe.
As for sympathizing with the Muslim terrorists, Jesus said love your neighbor, he didn't say love those who kill your brothers and sisters. He said to love your enemies, not the enemies of God. He told the disciples that if people didn't accept their gospel, to shake the dust off their heels and get out of town. I can't sympathize with the Muslims. By their own "Kuran," they have pledged themselves to destroy human lives. By doing so, they have ruined at least as many lives as they have destroyed.
Muslims don't worship the same God we worship. They worship an invention of a man named Muhammad, and have twisted the Hebrew scripture to suit their own vicious ideas.
I love the whole human race in the abstract, and I cry for the whole world. But I will not try to justify violence and a whole people's commitment to a code of violence. Just because evil has been done in the past, even by "us," doesn't justify what they're doing now.
