What made Gayle Williams special is the way she actually was a disciple of Christ, putting the lives of others before her own life. To use her sacrifice to drum up anger towards "those evil Muslims" is to corrupt the message of Christ's love that she lived and died for. She would want us to continue her work trying to win the hearts and minds of Afghans, not bomb them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-6210279024615495382008-10-22T17:53:00.000-07:002008-10-22T17:53:00.000-07:00Matthew:3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, fo...Matthew:<BR/><BR/>3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, <BR/> for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. <BR/> 4Blessed are those who mourn, <BR/> for they will be comforted. <BR/> 5Blessed are the meek, <BR/> for they will inherit the earth. <BR/> 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, <BR/> for they will be filled. <BR/> 7Blessed are the merciful, <BR/> for they will be shown mercy. <BR/> 8Blessed are the pure in heart, <BR/> for they will see God. <BR/> 9Blessed are the peacemakers, <BR/> for they will be called sons of God. <BR/> 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, <BR/> for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. <BR/> 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-67902492641202262722008-10-21T17:31:00.000-07:002008-10-21T17:31:00.000-07:00By giving of herself she promoted Christianity.

Before that day I could have cared less about islam. After that fateful day I have researched islam and until I came across the website, Little Green Footballs a few years ago, I quite frankly thought I was the only one in the world who felt this way about the violent political ideology of islam.<BR/><BR/>I have blogged about this darkening menace to Man for nearly a year and I would say I am familiar with 90% of the counter-jihad websites on the net. In all of this time, in all of the countless articles and news reports and editorials, I have NEVER, EVER come across a more powerful and insightful paragraph than what you wrote to Gayle. You wrote:<BR/><BR/><I>But then there is you, Gayle Williams. And you are immense now. You are a scathing indictment that cannot be answered. You are the truth. Inarguable, unassailable truth. The men who took your life were not fanatics, they were the personification of the purest and most uncorrupted form of Islam. They were most closely following the Prophet's commandments. They are Islam with all the veils removed. Your killers were not perverting the message, they were delivering it.</I><BR/><BR/>Nothing more true has ever been written about islam. Nothing ever has pulled off it's ugly mask and revealed it for what it really is.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Roger for reminding me that I'm not alone in this. <BR/><BR/>And for Gayle, rest in peace, young lady. The Father has a special place for martyrs like you in Heaven. We will miss you.Holger Awakenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728123335596054395noreply@blogger.com
