Back                                                What Is Wrong?

On Oct. 2nd 2005 the world again went mad. For the second time, extremely insane, young men decided that the world would be a better place if they could destroy innocent lives. So they set about to do just that. They strapped hate (In the form of bombs) onto their bodies and walked into a nightclub in Bali's Kuta Beach and a outdoor restaurant on a beach in  Jimbaran.

I have been to both the Raja and on that beach on Jimbaran. It was 10 years ago before Islamic insanity reached the Island. During a time when Bali was fun, excitement and love. A time when people from all points on the globe would come to the Island with the expectations of a vacation full of that same fun, friendship, excitement and possibility of Love. I found all of those, plus tranquility. I fell in love with the paradise that is Bali. It's people who are love and the music which is everywhere.

Bali is called "The Isle of the Gods." It has become the island of devils. It is known as "The morning of the world." It has become a nightmare. What are some of  the most gracious, loving people in the world have been infiltrated by madmen.

Madmen who like the followers of Jim Jones, Charles Manson or even Adolf Hitler have been brainwashed by the leaders of a religion gone berserk. Who filled God with such hate? Or I should say. Who sees such hate in our God? (Hate that is not there.) We are all God's children and what parent would hate his children enough to do what these madmen are doing in his name? They will be the ones he will hate. Didn't he say "Thou shalt not kill?

God also said love thy Enemy, How can anyone love evil. He said turn the other cheek. That I will never do.

These creatures from the depths of hell call themselves Jamaah Islamiyah "Islamic Group" and are connected to Abu Sayyaf (AL Harakat Al Islamiyya) Bearer - (Abu} of the sword (Sayyaf)  and Al-Qaeda (the Foundation or the Base) In a worldwide network of terror.

They are lead by demons with the names like Riduan Islamuddin (a.k.a. Hambali): Abu Bakar Bashir, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden

We can't just cut the head off this Medusa or like the Greek Myths the blood that hits the Earth will turn into asps and we will have created more terrorists. We have to kill the whole body of the movement.

We have to reach out to our Muslim brethren, they also suffer from the brutal acts these evil men do. We have to give them hope. Hope for a better life: Hope for an education for their children; Hope for the end of hunger; Hope for right to live their lives without the constant fear that some religious fanatic will condemn them for something he sees as a blaspheme.

They are the only ones who can end this horror. They are the only ones who can root out the evil. We have to give them a reason to.

I've heard, somewhere, that only love can overcome hate. So Let us try Love. Not for the terrorists but for the rest of mankind. We are all brothers and sisters in this world of ours and we should make sure that all of God's children have hope.

My heart goes out to all the innocent children of God who suffered at the hands of evil.

I will go back to Bali.  I will not allow evil keep me away from Paradise and neither should you.
