@Wennix, it makes complete sense. These are savage barbarians who follow the exact words of the Koran, unlike "moderate" muslims. If civilization is to survive, we must recognize that islam is a religion of violence - 005faa61, Nov 14, 2015
I agree Julian. - ian-hill, Nov 14, 2015
I go further - it is not a religion - it is an evil political doctrine that brainwashes its followers. - ian-hill, Nov 14, 2015

Beauty Will Rise

By Steven Curtis Chapman

  • It was the day the world went wrong

    I screamed till my voice was gone

    And watched through the tears as everything

    Came crashing down

  • Slowly panic turns to pain

    As we awake to what remains

    And sift through the ashes

    That are left behind

  • But buried deep beneath

    All our broken dreams we have this hope

  • Out of these ashes beauty will rise

    And we will dance among the ruins

    We will see it with our own eyes

    Out of these ashes beauty will rise

    For we know joy is coming in the morning

    In the morning, beauty will rise

  • So take another breath for now

    And let the tears come washing down

    And if you can't believe, I will believe for you

  • Cause I have seen the signs of spring

    Just watch and see

  • Out of these ashes beauty will rise

    And we will dance among the ruins

    We will see it with our own eyes

    Out of these ashes beauty will rise

    For we know joy is coming in the morning

    In the morning

  • I can hear it in the distance

    And it's not too far away

    It's the music and the laughter

    Of a wedding and a feast

    I can almost feel the hand of God

    Reaching for my face to wipe the tears away

    You say it's time to make everything new

    Make it all new

  • This is our hope

    This is a promise

    This is our hope

    This is a promise

  • It will take our breath away

    To see the beauty that's been made

    Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

  • It will take our breath away

    To see the beauty that He's made

    Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

  • Out of these ashes

    Beauty will rise

    And we will dance among the ruins

    We will see it with our own eyes

    Out of this darkness

    New light will shine

    And we'll know the joy that's coming in the morning

    In the morning

    Beauty will rise

  • Oh, beauty will rise

    Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise

    Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise

    Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise

This is what I believe will happen with everything that has gone on in Paris. God holds Paris in His hands. Please pray for Paris and the victims of everything that has happened.

Give blood, if you can! The hospitals in Paris are running short of blood of various types as many of the victims have lost such a lot of blood. I don't know how to send blood but no doubt there is some international organization that can arrange the sending.

Ven a donar sangre, en los hospitales de Paris parece que ahora hace falta de sangre porque muchas de las víctimas han perdido tanta sangre. Yo no sé como enviar la sangre pero sin duda hay alguna organización que puede encargarse de hacerlo.

Yes, absolutely. - rac1, Nov 14, 2015

Apparently the Parisians themselves have responded so well to the call for blood that the clinics can't cope with all the volunteers. Good for them! - annierats, Nov 14, 2015
Annie, possibly The International Red Cross or Médicins sans frontiers would have happily accepted/received blood donations from people - FELIZ77, Nov 15, 2015
I think so too, Feliz. Obviously somebody, somewhere is prepared for these sort of things..Be it earthquake or terrorist attacks. - annierats, Nov 15, 2015

Tous les hommes naissent égaux = All men are born equal

(No, I am not advocating communism, simply that each man has equal value in God's eyes!)

To all our French friends:

We feel for you, we feel your pain and we stand with you (support you) wholeheartedly, people of France! We continue to pray for you, we all stand united against every form of terrorism ... wherever it comes from!

Para todos nuestros amigos franceses:

¡Lo sentimos por ustedes. ¡Sentimos su dolor y los apoyamos,sin reservas cuidadanos de Francía! ¡Seguimos orar para Ustedes, todos nosotros presentamos un frente contra todos tipos del terrorismo ....cualquier su origen!

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor smile

Pour toutes nos amis:

Nous sommes très affecté par la perte de vous tous et nous apportons nos soutien a vous sans réserve, citoyens des France! Continuons prier pour vous et nous présentons un front uni contre toutes les formes de terrorisme..... sans tenir compte de son origine!

Sólo puedo llorar en silencio,

y la esperanza en desafío.
