Elisha Vision – Commentary

It has been two and  a half years after the Fort Hood murders of 14 US soldiers and civilians (including a baby in its mother’s womb), and the wounding of 29 in Killeen, Texas. There has been no trial and they are still trying to decide if Major Hasan is sane. Meanwhile, a couple of weeks ago, a US solider snapped in the Afghanistan war zone killing 17 civilians and he is charged with the death penalty. This weekend our government has already paid $50,000.00 for each death which fulfills the requirement of Sharia Law.

What is wrong with this picture? The Muslim psychiatrist in Texas openly called for jihad against America and shouted A–ah Akbar as he systematically shot and killed unarmed people. Meanwhile, Sgt Bales who had a brain injury suffered in earlier combat has been tried, convicted and sentenced by the media in only weeks.

Make no mistake, I am not defending the actions of Sgt. Bales. But where is the justice in comparing the two situations? Isaiah 59 is quite to the point. The whole chapter is good, but here are a few selected quotes.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. (3-4).
