Al Qaeda: the Biblical Perspective

Time is coming closer to the fourth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 catastrophe and all the suffering it produced. At that time on the television, the scenes of all those Muslims who were celebrating that abomination in the streets was an affront to decency and humanity. It also showed the evil spiritual condition of those followers of Islam who rejoiced. As in Proverbs 17;5 "whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished." Also verse 15 elaborates " acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent-the Lord detests both." Relating to this Proverbs 28;4 reads ''Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them." Certainly the American military that fought and resisted the villains in Afghanistan that put the hijackers up to that monstrocity. What those al Qaeda operatives did on September 11 2001 is a good example of what is found in Psalms 94;21 which reads "They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death." The al Qaeda operatives types are not new . Their personalities are described in Psalms 64; 5-7 " They encourage each other in evil plans. They talk about hiding their snares; they say ' who will see them?' They plot injustice and say ' We have devised a perfect plan ! ' Surely the mind and heart of man is cunning. But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down." In conclusion, On the left hand there are these violent men who are operatives of al Qaeda. In contrast, on the right hand is the Psalm of David, parts of are applicable to these just mentioned operatives. Psalm 140;11 reads "may disaster hunt down men of violence."
