Oh just people of the world, please voice your condemnation!

Jul 17, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
Today is the eighteen day in the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan was given by God-Almighty to Muslims to seek perfection of the heart, purity of the human body and purification of one’s wealth (Zakaat).
Today as we, Muslims in the west and Europe enjoy the rights and rituals of Ramadan under the protection of our respective Constitutional Laws in a liberal and free world within the comfort of our homes, mosques and multicultural society, Muslims in many parts of the world are being oppressed and killed in their indigenous lands as such indiscriminate acts continue unchecked by some world leaders.
In other parts of the world like China and Burma they are being prevented from fasting with brutal force.
Today the people of Gaza are pleading for help.  The super power “Israel” has declared a full scale air strike bombardment on a defenceless people; people with bricks and hand-made rockets, as our world is lamentably slow in making an intervention or condemnation.
The killing of the three Jewish kids cannot be condoned and I join with others to condemn that heinous act and the atrocities of all unjustified killings, but that does not give Israel justification to engage in a widespread killing spree.
Oh superpowers of the world; oh supporters of Israel, please stop this war! The suffering is beyond our imagination. Oh Hamas, please stop the firing of rockets! Oh just people of the world, please voice your condemnation! I know that my voice will be a voice in the wilderness but it is recorded with God-Almighty, for I have done the least of Islamic-faith, which is to speak out against the injustice and to hate it with my heart.
In conclusion, I wish to say that revenge seems to lead to contentment for those who are involved in the darkness of passion but when the violence of passion is abandoned, and the mildness of forgiveness is restored, then it seems that revenge leads to unbearable suffering.
May Almighty God cause the inhabitants of this world to be just people and cause the suffering of the oppressed to cease.
Nazar Mohamed
