why killing the ambassador

by Anonyme - 12/09/2012 - 19:52

It is sad to hear that fighters of Islam attacked and killed the America ambassador to Libya for a crime he never committed. Who are they fighting for Allah or prophet Mohammed? . I think they are getting it all wrong simply because it make no sense to fight for god who has all the powers to punish and bless any persons. Let God punish those who offend him and bless those who follow his ways. what is the sense in going after the person you can see and feel for the person you never saw or has never seen before but just on belief him/her.
