1. Thank you, hrmjustin.

2. My pleasure my friend.

3. The grieving will be long.

4. It will.

And it doesn't help that people need to mock the religious beliefs of those praying for victims.

May Kwan Yin the Most Merciful stand beside them in their pain to comfort them. May she guide those who were lost safely through the Bardo and into the Fair Land.

Shantih.

6. Amen!

7. Ignore them. They neither help nor hinder

They are irrelevant and it is their irrelevance that both pisses them off and motivates them. They have no substance and seek to feed off those who do. Responding to their mockery and theophobia only encourages them.
If you leave crumbs on the lunch room counter, the vermin will come to feed. Keep it clean and they will crawl back to the dark corners to fester and eventually consume each other.

Take comfort in the knowledge that most of us, including atheists, are praying in our own ways for those who are suffering. And we don't care if some choose to pray to a deity. It's the thought that counts.

8. I am glad that most are repsectful of religious belief and are live and let live.

Please be sure to include the comparison of your fellow DUers to 'vermin' in your prayer.

UN human rights chief denounces Sun over Katie Hopkins 'cockroach' column

The UN’s human rights chief has attacked the Sun newspaper for publishing an article by columnist Katie Hopkins, branding her use of the word “cockroaches” to describe migrants as reminiscent of anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda.

In a scathing and extraordinary intervention, the UN high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, points out that the word “cockroaches” was used by both the Nazis and those behind the genocide in Rwanda, and urges the UK government, media and regulators to respect national and international laws on curbing incitement to hatred.

“The Nazi media described people their masters wanted to eliminate as rats and cockroaches,” said Zeid.

“This type of language is clearly inflammatory and unacceptable, especially in a national newspaper. The Sun’s editors took an editorial decision to publish this article, and – if it is found in breach of the law – should be held responsible along with the author.”

You might have hoped a Prayer Circle group would have better standards than Murdoch's Sun. But it seems not.

"Keep it clean and they will crawl back to the dark corners to fester and eventually consume each other. "

'Keep it clean'? Would that include not comparing human beings to 'vermin'?
