Anita extended forgiveness to the murderers just days later in interviews widely broadcast in Arabic in the country where the faith of most encourages retribution over forgiveness. “Something that was very apparent was what do we want the Libyan people to see or know out of this. Something that Jesus always offers is forgiveness, and even on a bigger degree is forgiving your enemies.”When her commitment to forgiveness falters, Anita copes by questioning God instead of the attackers. I’m praying sometimes, not even knowing what words to use, but it’s just through tears, like wanting him back. It wasn’t that none of that was there, but they don’t know they did this against Anita Smith.”She continues to reap a harvest from her public forgiveness, Anita said.
