Certainly can’t hurt anything.

I can’t imagine what they’re dealing with right now.

It’s an old DU tradition. Its point is love.

I feel for them all -- by making others suffer for their beliefs, they know not what they do. Faith in their fellow humans must be very hard for them.

When believers refuse to live and let live, they create so much suffering on this planet, their own as much as others,' because they tear down the basis for their religion's appeal.

They have all checked in and are OK except for one who lives in Colombo and they are trying to find out about him.

I sure wish this world was mature enough to have a grownup discussion about terrorism.

They have already been through so much, from a protracted civil war to a tsunami. What an evil thing this group has done to so many innocent people today.
