They are animals, they are all the same. Terrorists have no religion. Media is villain. There is no free world. Nobody is free to express the truth or they don’t want to. Freedom of speech is a hoax. It’s a limited edition luxury of Charlie Hebdoes and those million marchers who come out in their support. Western democracy is a sham.They all abuse it. Islamophobia is byproduct of extremist interpretation of Salafi Mullahs and now Christian Mullahs are following suit. They are peas of the same pod Al Qaeda, ISIS, Taliban, KKK, White supremists; they are all the same. Syed Qutab is the culprit. Seeds of hate sown by him are being reaped by Al Baghdadi and Trump; the caliphs of hate. Humanity is at loss. This is so regressive. What progress we brag about as specie. Hollywood must be blamed for inciting violence. Past 6-7 decades they promoted violence. If 12 Angry Men could be a hit & classic then why do we need terminators and supermen versus batmen. Explicit scenes of limbs flying all over the place and blood squirting out of human body are commonplace. Even younger kids play games like extreme toys. Till adolescence, kids play violent gun games. Then they turn to porn. Then they take up real guns. They just need to vent out the violence they have been building inside their bodies and souls. And mullahs on both sides feed on violence. Capitalist system is also to be blamed. Jews have a much stronger stranglehold over the world with their usury money. People have much greater desires and greed than they can actually afford. Thus, frustration galore. Haves not are seriously angry on Haves. Why do these people immigrate anyway? Would less income, smaller house, rowdy countrymen, poor health and social facilities be not better than the better life they seek against insult and violence. The cost is too much. So much for better life. They got it wrong. We all got it wrong. We misinterpret religion. We misinterpret life.
All above and much more occupied my little brain for the past week since Christchurch mosques attack. Nothing seemed to make real sense. I so much wanted to express my anger & grief and I so much was lost for words and ideas. Confused like rest of the common people like me. Then I came across a small video clip of Mrs Naeem Rashid (whose husband and 21 years old first born got martyred on 14 March) and found answers to all my queries, frustrations, anger and confusion. Specially, when she said that she felt sad for that terrorist who fell prey to hate trap. Secondly, her answer to rather bewildered reporter’s question,’ Apart from your faith, what keeps you strong at the moment?’ She replied,
“I think that’s the only thing”.

On this remarkable response of hers, after APS incident after a long time, I broke down. I felt small. All those negative thoughts that swarmed my mind over the past week are result of incessant information that we are being bombarded with. Too much information has marred our ability to cut through the crap. She has found nirvana. That is all we are looking for. And it is embedded deep in our faith. Mullah is too weak to see this. No wonder Mullah hated Iqbal. No wonder Mullah continues to hate other mullah and continues to grow his belly instead of his wisdom, forbearance, forgiveness, love, compassion and contentment- the very methods of our beloved Prophet (PBUH).
A word for women of our country who made a meal of women’s respect on women’s day, a fortnight ago. I have traveled and observed societies around the world and I can guarantee you in all fairness that nowhere in the world, women are more protected & respected than Pakistan. If you want to follow someone, follow Mrs Naeem, she is the role model. She is the finest finished product of the finest religion in the world. Her strength is her faith. Those placards and candles have not earned anyone respect or freedom, nor they will. Lastly, on women’s topic Jacinda Ardens also deserves a mention. She was a nerve wreck when she broke the news last Friday but she grew in stature over the past week. She is another role model for placards girls. This is the finished product of a society that believes in values. Kiwis have shown that they are a great little nation. They are the true specimen of free world democracy. It also proved that western democracy is the best form of government if it is able to uphold the basic human values.
May Allah grant Jannah to Shaheed. Bestow patience to bereaved. Reward all those who are revisiting hate in our world and make this world a better place for our future generations.
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
Very well explained sir. Deep insight. Stay blessed for putting us right
ReplyDeleteAsad Jamal very well written. However one line, I am unable to digest. "It also proved that western democracy is the best form of government if it is able to uphold the basic human values".
ReplyDeleteThe hate that West possesses against Islam and further fueled by the western media has created a big gap between West and Islam. Islam has such a beauty and strength that it makes space for itself wherever it goes. Most of the western values are derived from Islamic values. But as long as the hate remains the West will make its system look nice on the surface of it,whereas on the roots it will have ills of alcohol, womanizing, homosexuality etc. The evils spread in Muslim world are sponsored by Western governments in many forms from corrupt leaders to destroying islamic values. As the West makes their graveyards beautiful on the surface so are their systems.
Islam is compatible with every culture and system but we muslims are not happy with Islam. The way forward is to have a firm belief on Allah's word (Quran) and spread it's light with our actions and behaviour.
Quran 24:39-40
As for those who disbelieve, their works are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty assumes it is to be water. Until, when he has reached it, he finds it to be nothing, but there he finds God, Who settles his account in full. God is swift in reckoning.
40. Or like utter darkness in a vast ocean, covered by waves, above which are waves, above which is fog. Darkness upon darkness. If he brings out his hand, he will hardly see it. He to whom God has not granted a light has no light.
