"A voice cries out: 'In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.'" - Isaiah 40:3
Marie Fatayi-Williams, a mother searching for her son who has been missing since the London bombings:
There have been streams of tears, innocent tears. There have been rivers of blood, innocent blood. Which cause has been served? Certainly not the cause of God or Allah, because God Almighty only gives life and is full of mercy.
How much blood must be spilled? How many tears shall we cry? How many mothers' hearts must be maimed? It's time to stop and think. We cannot live in fear because we are surrounded by hatred. Hatred begets only hatred. It is time to stop this vicious cycle of killing. We must all stand together, for our common humanity.
How long, Lord? How long?
