My friends, this message comes from your servant from canada. I have spent only 3 months in India, so by no means to I pretend to truly understand the pain and confusion that must be felt, especially for those who have lost loved ones or witnessed such terrible things take place before their own eyes. Yet stilll I have walked the bomb site, and was spared by a window of two weeks from witnessing the tragety. I played with children from the mosque only days before this bomb went off, I pray to God that they have been spared from any harm, and do not grow up with hate in their hearts. Because, even though I am a stranger to you, I have felt myself having feelings of revenge and anger, that men would harm my friends, and desire to spread evil and hatred. My friends that is their desire, as those before me have already wisely stated, their desire is our revenge, and our anger. Because acts of revenge never harm the ones we desire too, but they harm the innocent, and we harm ourselves. We harm ourselves by holding onto anger, and desiring revenge, to satistfy our own selfish nature. I found myself hating these men who bombed my friends. But I am no better than them. I have hated, and done evil, and lied and broken the law that God has set out for me to follow, so I truly desire the same hatred I wished to pour out onto their heads. My brothers I ask of you, beg of you, as your servant, as earnestly as you welcomed me into your home Give up our hate, invite His Love
