"Enough, enough, enough." There is nothing romantic about these words, when this plea drops from the mouth of a three year old, who had just witnessed the death of his parents. In fact, Adaam was searching his parents, mercilessly mowed down by terrorists. Following the aggressors with this plea etched to his heart, he was barely heard for two hours. Another bullet rewarded his courage. The senseless orgy continues and these words do not resemble anything of a country where common sense prevails at the moment.
How does the world lose its common sense? Perhaps it is the lack of common sense, which makes sense in the new world order. Iraq has been under the radar for more than a decade. First, there was the dictatorship, which was seen as the oppressor. Then the rescuers arrived in waves, full of wisdom to win over the nation from the dictator. Subsequently, the aggressor seemed to recognise the futility of the occupation. A strategic withdrawal was proposed when the rescuer finally found that nobody was a clear winner. What happened to the cultural, physical and religious fabric of the nation is beyond comparison. The country was in shambles. The Christians who were safe under the dictator now find themselves at the crossroads as they are now massacred without remorse. Ethnic cleansing has found its meandering ways into the land of the Saviour. The intensity with which the pogrom is been executed has shocked the Christians all over the world. Caring to the community, two priests have been gunned down among numerous other Chrisitans. The invasion has left the Christians without any veil of protection, while the Muslim groups are still in conflict.
What is the option left with the Christians who find themselves at the mercy of terrorists? The words of a survivor sums up it all. When was asked by a reporter, what do you say to the terrorists? through his tears he said, ‘We forgive you.’
