“With guns you can kill terrorists,
with education you can kill terrorism.”

“I AM THINKING OF THOSE WO MANUFACTURE WEAPONS for fomenting wars; just think about what kind of job this is... These people manufacture death, they are merchants of death and they make death into a piece of merchandise. May fear of the Lord make them understand that one day all things will come to an end and they will have to give account to God.”
This woman kept forgiving. They killed her father in front of her when she was only 4 years but she visited his murderer regularly when he became sick; they killed her 18 year old son, but she tended to one of the young man from the armed group who got hurt, crying out in pain.
A great story if you want to explore forgiveness and what "love one another" means.
The Lord said to Cain: "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground"
Gen 4:10
Reflection by Pope John Paul 2nd...
This prayer was of great comfort to Father Jacques Mourad – a great contributor to religious dialogue, who used to recite this prayer when he was captured by ISIS in Syria between May-Oct 2015.
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
Charles de Foucauld
