I can't find it within myself to call it good news when people kill each other-even if they are terrorists.

It would be a sad thing to have innocents killed but if these people insist upon killing each other then it is better that than others. It is at least a step in the right direction. I do pray for their conversion but until they do and as long as they are going to be killing people let it be each other and not innocent children and pedestrians.

Dan:
I agree with you that if they "must" kill, it is preferable for them to kill each other rather than killing others who are innocent. Nevertheless, I'm trouble by any suggestion that it amounts to "good news" when they kill each other. To me, that is incompatible with the teachings of Christ, not the least of which is that we are to love our enemies. I cannot reconcile love of enemies with calling it good news when those same enemies kill each other. Also, they commit sin when they kill each other, and I think it is sinful for us to call something that is sin "good news."

Ok, then we will call it "Relatively better news".

Lets start the prayer crusade!
# 1 For the conversion of Islam to the Savior Jesus Christ.
#2 For the binding of all those who would committ act of terror and violence against others.
#3 That those who plot to maim and kill would be giving a spirit of confusion and disunity.
Stephanos I
Our Lady of Fatima the golrious and all holy immaculate Mother of God,
St Francis of Assisi and all holy men and women of God,
pray for us.
