But I keep remembering that these fanatically misguided souls feel that they are justified in their actions, as the Egyptians did as they enslaved and oppressed the followers of Moses, as the Jewish elite did when Christ revealed His Station to them, as the fierce Arabians when the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) delivered his message to them , and as the predecessors of the modern fundamentalist Muslim did when they persecuted, tortured, executed and exiled the Ba'b, Baha'u'llah and their followers. There is a Divine Plan, and its only Source of transmission to mankind is through the Holy Messengers of God, not through the ego-centric, power-greedy hearts of men. 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (King James Bible, Luke) It’s so difficult for me to refrain from anger when I read these reports, or feel saddened.
