Christian Reflection and Prayer

 

Thirdly, and finally, we must utterly denounce the
message of political leaders who speak and act to
politicize terrorist violence in service of their own
political agendas and ambitions. In particular we
must denounce the message of those who have
called for the "patrolling" of Muslim neighborhoods
in the United States and for putting Muslim
American citizens under surveillance we must also
denounced the words of those who secure fear of
more attacks and purpose to protect
"us" from "them" by monitoring Muslim Americans,
banning Muslim immigrants from the United States,
torturing suspects and killing the families of terrorists,
and even suggesting they might be open using
nuclear weapons against Isis.
