A Mighty Heart

Hope and faith...

I watched this film, knowing the outcome from newspapers and the internet. Daniel Pearl was killed. Yet right up until his colleagues in the film received the horrific video of his death, hope was incandescent in me, that maybe, it would turn out differently.
What faith, what God, condones this behaviour? To cut short a man's life when you don't know him and he has done nothing to you...in the name of some 'higher' power.
God is great, they kept saying in the film, and I kept thinking how is it possible to have such strength of faith.

It scares me, and it makes me sad, from somewhere right in the middle, that this is the kind of world we live in.
