Its not the first time and it won't be the last. As long as we stay united this time will pass.
People such as atheists and victims will continue fighting against us as they believe we are evil. The truth is the evil is their lack of faith, and we must pray for them. As Jesus himself said when he was being crucified "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" - and that is what is being demonstrated in today's society.
I also know of a case where a Priest (Lebanese Priest here in Australia) was wrongfully convicted of a crime similar to this even though there was photographic evidence, video evidence as well as dozens of alibi's who testified for him saying he was at an event they were at when the alleged incident occurred. He spent over a year in jail because he was instantly found guilty by the jury. He was subsequently released.
I honestly think in situations like this there should be immediate compensation paid out to those wrongfully imprisoned to thwart anyone with who is simply trying to be a pain in the backside to innocent people simply because of their beliefs.
