But I want to share that I believe in Jesus Christ, who has given his own life for us. I know what is the meaning of [the] cross and I’m following … the cross.

I’m ready to die for a cause. I’m living for my community and suffering people and I will die to defend their rights. So these threats and these warnings cannot change my opinion and principles. I will prefer to die for my principles and for the justice of my community rather to compromise.

Creepy since I’ve ridden that military bus (“the gray goose”) from Frankfurt to a former air base in the past. When I was there we had to contend with home-grown terrorists.
