Feeling of empathy

Feeling of empathy

The letter of my Moslem brother Syahyurli AB of June 12, is
more than touching. It's rather a very consoling and healing one
for those going through unbearable sufferings due to the tragedy
of May 13 and May 14. You have indeed a very beautiful feeling of
empathy toward those victimized.

It is really time now for each of us to make introspection.
What happened was due to our own faults.

My brother, in the spirit of Ukhuwah wathoniyah (universal
brotherhood), we must believe that in front of God, we are all
just the servants of God. We are in one big family of universal
humanity, regardless our natural differences.

In the Christian faith we must also pray to our merciful God
to forgive those who made the tragedy possible.
