In response to a reporter's question: "what are your feelings toward those who drove you out of your home and caused you hardships?" Myriam, a ten year old girl who escaped ISIS said, "I won't do anything to them, I will only ask God to forgive them." And to a follow up question: "And can you, too, forgive them?" She answered, "Yes." [1] She was speaking the words of Christ on the cross: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." [2]
It is interesting to note that a hashtag #PrayForMyriam has been established on Twitter instead of what it ought to be: #MyraimPrayForUs since it is appropriate for one who is holy to pray for those not-so-holy.
