my college friend's roommate murdered in Ethiopia, 1974

my freshman year college roommate didnt know what to do with himself after graduation
we were good friends all thru college, more so in early years

Bruce decided to go on a Christian Mission like Peace Corps
they were involved with water projects in Ethiopia
about 15-20 in their gang, working hard, hot sun
they lived in tents, had little insect nets for sleeping
they had worked for almost a year when...

Bruce woke up in the early morning hours one day
his roommate had a knife in his chest
a long curved knife, ornate markings
a string with a tag on it, read "INFIDEL"

they broke camp and returned to the United States
Bruce was deeply affected
the victim was a good friend
why him? why not me?

Islam is a very insecure religion, in my view
from their vantage point though, it seems that not only is Western influence everywhere one turns, but a Christian in your face

oy, why cant we just get along ?
