Dear Sajih,

I am greatly saddened to see you posting this kind of material...

And this line...

In case you did not realise it, you are clearly excusing some evil people from taking responsibility for their evil acts, by saying that it was God's will. Just because the victims of the Orlando shooting were gay, does not mean that God punished those gay people by organising one man to walk in and shoot them indiscriminately. I think God is a bit more sophisticated than that. For example, God could have created an Earthquake near the gay bar to make sure all the people inside would perish. Seriously, God does not need to enlist the services of a deranged killer with a machine gun.

Sorry if I sound bitter, but I just saw on the news about the truck in France that deliberately ran over people walking on the sidewalk. The last death count was 73. This is more deaths than the Orlando shooting. I suppose we are to believe that God made this maniac plough down those pedestrians because they were sinners. That could easily have been you or I walking on that street while visitng France.

Please Sajih, stop showing veiled support for these murderers and deranged individuals that are heartless and have no regard for human life. Do not put God in their excuses for these evil deeds. It's bad enough that terrorist organisations are openly celebrating these acts and encouraging further acts on the world...please don't add your voice of support along with them.

If God wanted to punish a group of people, he will do so without enlisting the services of cold blooded killers or mentaly unstable individuals.

Also, this would be my last post here. I will join Gareth full time now, as I see he was right all along. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but your veiled acceptance of these killings as being God's will cannot be ignored.

I'm truly sorry my Brother. Please know I love you, and I will always know you as being the one who opened my eyes. But it's time for me to move on now.

May God bless you and continue to guide you further.
