SHEIKH ROGO WAS A DEAD MAN WALKING


Not to sound like a cynic but the guy was on the US terror list; sooner or later he was going to be gunned down. See what happened to Osama? Someone should have reminded Rogo that if you live by the sword, you`ll die by the sword. I sympathize with the family, but what surprises me is the kind of outrage his death sparked. One would expect that he be sent off in silence considering the kind of person he was, but instead the goons chose to torch churches and cause chaos. What kind of society have we turned into?
Am not saying one human`s life is more valuable than the other, but the man is dead and no amount of destruction will bring him back. Instead of destroying others, we should be thanking God for one less type of Rogo in our midst.

Am sure as a teacher he had his followers, but is “blind faith” the new fad in town? A religious leader in the days of old was one to be looked up to and emulated because he or she espoused the virtues of a society; but not anymore. Many have taken to the pulpits and madarasa`s to preach hate instead of holding up the society. When a man chooses a path that leads to destruction; when what brings them joy and purpose in life is the death of another; when all they speak, think and believe is the violent end of a society, sect or religious grouping; when that person loses their moral fiber and has no conscience, no value for life, theirs or another’s…..that person is not worth living. This kind of a person has sold their soul to the devil and they should be joined in eternal bliss……

Still………. he was a child of God, so I pray for his family; may God strengthen them and cause them to hold onto the hope that only lives in Christ…
