Sallies the father of Umar Farouk is to be
commended, for he is as rare as Abraham the
father of faith. Instead of protecting his
son at all cost, he looked at the bigger picture
to see what was just, and that killing
unsuspecting people on a airplane is anything
but just! I mean what do these terrorist
hope to resolve? Their outcome can only
be, a death sentence or life in prison.
Now formal wars have formal outcomes, but there
is no outcome for a terrorist or a terrorist
war, other than jail or death. Arvin yes, here we had a father who was gripped in pain, over his son, and still he took the steps to warn authorities that his son was behaving in an unreasonable and a violent way. The story between parent and child usually is that the parent wants the child to be something that the child does not what to be: to wear a style of clothes that does not fit and the child feels, like an alien in their own skin. However in this case, the father reported his son to authorities, which I can only imagine, caused him brutal heartache, but still, he was compelled and impelled to report his son, who was considering to commit such a misguided reach for justice. |
