"They're raging again!"


They're raging again.  The news headline says the below Muslims in India are raging against the Pope for some comments he made about Islam.

 

It seems like Muslims are always raging.  They must get up in the morning raging, go to bed at night raging, and rage all day in between.  They rage at infidels, and they rage at each other.  You would think they would get tired of raging.  They are obviously very unhappy and insecure souls.

The contrast jumps out at me.  When Jesus was being tortured and killed (the ultimate offense), the Bible says that He did not open His mouth against the attackers, but instead prayed that His Father would forgive them.  Setting the example, He previously told His disciples, "Love your enemies."  What confidence!  He knew who He was, He was power under restraint, and He personified love.  I prefer to follow Him.
