"If fate really falls like this, maybe, just today, if I have become a victim of terrorism that is cutting all foreigners here.
I hope, my villagers, my church. , My family, can remember-
my life is dedicated to God and this country;
this cruel separation is not unfamiliar to the only immortal lord;
my death is persecuted with many others Like death, I was buried in a ruthless legacy;
I have lived enough, enough that I have understood, alas, I am also one of the accomplices of
this evil all over the world; this evil will be enough to strike me blind. I don't want to die in this way.
I am also very displeased that the people and things I love are arbitrarily accused of murdering me.
"I know people here are despised without reason.
I know that Islam is also distorted by a certain ""Islamism".
This country, and Islam, are different to me.
They are body and soul.
"Those who call me naive or idealistic will soon use my death as their argument.
But they must know that because of death, I will not be tortured by strong curiosity.
And if he allows it , I will be immersed in the
gaze with Heavenly Father, looking at and thinking of his Islamic children with the same eyes as Heavenly Father.
My thanks go to all those who appear in my life, of
course. Including you-past and present friends.
"And you, the last-minute friends-even though I don't know what you have done.
Yes, to you, I also thank you and extend this farewell that you will witness with your own eyes.
"If Heavenly Father accepts, maybe we will meet again in heaven.
Amen. But by providence. "
================================================ ===
Christian's last monologue:
Should it ever befall me, and it could happen today, to be a victim of the terrorism swallowing up all foreigners here. I would like my community, my church, my family to remember,
That the unique matter of all life was no stranger to this brutal departure, and
that my death is the same as so many other violent ones, consigned to the apathy of oblivion.
I have lived enough to know I am of complicity in the evil that, alas, prevails over the world.
And the evil that will smite me blindly.I could never desire such a death.
I could never feel gladdened that these I love be accused randomly of my murder.
I know the contempt felt for the people here, indiscriminately.
And I know the Islam is distorted by a certain Islamism.
This country, and Islam, for me, are something different.
They are a body and a soul.
My death, of course , will quickly vindicate those who called me naive or idealistic.
But they must know that I will be freed of a burning curiosity, and
God willing, will immerse my gaze in the Father's, and
contemplate with him his children of Islam as he sees them .
This thank-you which encompasses my entire life includes you, of course,
friends of yesterday and today, and
you too, friend of the last minute, who knew not what you were doing.
Yes, to you as well I address this thank-you and this fare well which you envisaged.
May we meet again, happy thieves in Paradise, if it pleases God, the Father of us both.
Amen. Inchallah.
