As I read the comments of Bishop Abdulah in the bobolee letter my first inclination was to agree with everything, but on further consideration I changed course. We Christians believe that Our Lord suffered scorn and humiliation at the time of His trial and His only comment was "Father forgive them, they know not what they do."
Consequently, in my opinion, we should forgive those who through their own misconception of right and wrong were led to act in the way that they did.
Our inter-denominational committees should look into ways and means of including forgiveness in all of our educational institutions and thereby inculcate a culture of peace and love in our society.
