Paris is agog. The world has gathered amidst deep security concerns. We do not deny that there are bad people everywhere, determined to inflict maximum suffering on as many people as possible. The world has barely moved a notch since Munich 1972 when PLO terrorists unleashed mayhem at the Munich Olympics, killing two Israeli athletes, and abducting nine. German police launched a rescue operation that failed, leading to the deaths of the nine hostages. Not much has changed since then. Everywhere you look in Paris, there are heavily armed men on duty to secure the public space. Those who have invested heavily in their athletes will reap medals whilst those who pray to win medals without the rigor and the investment will be mere spectators. It is as simple as that.
God is not unjust.
