19th & 20th Centuries: Wahhabis levelled shrines, tombs & houses of “pious” muslim figures in Mecca, Medina & Karbala, and attacked peaceful inhabitants of Mecca & Taif.
20th Centruy: Zionist gangs vandalized mosques in Palestine.
20th & 21st Centuries: Nazis vandalized synagogues & mosques in Europe.
21st Century: Taliban bombed ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan.
21st Century: “Zarqawi & Co” attacked pilgrims of Karbala.
and yesterday, unidentified “malevolents” bombed the Shrine of Imam Ali Al-Hadi & Al-Hasan Al-Askari in Samarra, Iraq.
All the mentioned above had something in common… HATRED.
Words that describe my fury & frustration regarding the bombing of the two Imams Shrine in Samarra, fails to exist.
But I can ‘fume’ about it.
When will humans learn toleration, peace & co-existence?
How many scared places wait to be vandalized?
Is there a ‘benefit’ from all this hatred?
and…
When will humanity collectively value secularism?

ReplyDeletethat said, if we got into why society should actually disregard secularism, mara7 enkhalis ana weyak heh
Religion-based hatred.
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on in Iraq is heartwrenching.. and what gets to me is how people in this region still need a fatwa to tell them that burning down mosques is haram.
And the answer to your last question would be: not anytime soon.
Temetwir,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it was so bad being predicted.
and you're right, ma ra7 enkhalis :)
Shurouq,
everyones repeats:
الحلال بين والحرام بين
but when it comes to mosques, they need a fatwa... so sad.
regarding the last question,
"better late than never" (wishful thinking)
