Asalamualaykum Warahmatullah,
Today, like every day, marks a tragic event whereby terrorist attacks were performed on the city of Paris.
Such crimes are unforgivable anywhere and everywhere and it is so disheartening to hear.
I just want to address the injustice in the world when it comes to such events.
Its so very sad that people in this world can walk around so freely knowing that they will never ever have to be associated or blamed for actions of others unless they are related by blood.
However, people remain inconsiderate of the fact that Muslim people are now forced into a situation in which they feel the need to show their condolences towards such actions, as though to make sure that people don't start assuming that it is the whole of the muslim population who are linked with such affairs.
Every day without fail, something happens to the people of Syria and Palestine and many more countries which are not even acknowledged let alone considered human enough to morn.
People in the public eye such as Benedict Cumberbatch who have the DECENCY to even mention such events to the media, are then questioned for the potential BACKLASH that they MAY receive as a result of SUPPORTING people who are said, Syrians, who are escaping their countries to make sure their families survive. As though they are not humans?!
Where is the common sense.
Where is the humanity.
Suddenly, there has become this idea that when countries that are not in the west are attacked, it doesn't matter, like they don't exist.
No-one deserves to be attacked, period.
Muslims should NOT have to walk around fearing for their lives after the behaviour of some RANDOM people, who may or may not be mentally stable, who may be using the name of Islam to justify their actions.
Yet people are still ignorant enough to act on ignorance, rather than even attempting to understand Islam and ACKNOWLEDGE the fact that Islam does NOT recommend such actions ANYWHERE.
This world is not fair.
There is always a double standard.
People ought to get their facts straight.
We all ought to focus our attention on the victims, and catching the culprits, rather than looking to blame.
Wallah these are the signs of the times.
I am the first to say that I need to fix up.
I see that all the minor signs are happening, let alone the major signs.
I need to feel. I need to prepare.
We need to do the best.
