Today, some one posted a video in which a ten year old Muslim girl is surrounded by some police men on the road and she is being kicked like a football, beaten by gun buts, hands cuffed and eyes folded and then shot dead. The man writes most probably, they are the policemen of Burma and some civilians who are anti- Muslims and are brutally killing an innocent small girl. In the gust of rage, he writes: “ The Muslims are being killed and we are celebrating Eid and saying Eid greetings to each other “. Actually, he is sharing his deeply felt anguish and wrath on the Muslims who are more ritualistic and have no sense of Islamic Jehad against the oppressors. This video has torn my heart into pieces. Most probably it is in Burma, where a Muslim girl is the victim of brutality in the Middle of the road. People are moving, looking at this brutality, but are so scared that no one stops there to stop the killers. I wanted to share this video on my WhatsApp and Facebook but dropped the idea, lest any man with soft heart get heart attack. I remained in the state of trauma for hours and hours with tearful eyes and my blood pressure went high. It is so inhumane act that I find no words to express my grief and resentment. The thing that disappoints me is the indifferent attitude and silence of the champions of peace and humanity world wide. It is not the question of being Muslim or non- Muslim, it is the question of humanity. Will any sane and sober man kill a small girl with such bestiality? Does a girl of ten years know what is racial discrimination and what is religious extremism? A few years ago, in Serbia and in Burma( Myanmar), the Muslim ladies and kids were burned alive. Today, the Zionist regime of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel has crossed all the limits and uncouthly, he is involved in the genocide of the innocent civilians of Gaza Strip/ Palestine. The Holy Book of the Jews “The Torah” in the Exodus gives Ten Commandments.The first commandment is: “ You shall not murder.” What the Jews/ Zionists are doing in Gaza? Are they acting upon the commandment of God? Are they the followers of Prophet Moses? If they are, then they should immediately end war and stop the genocide of the Palestinians and resolve the issue amicably according to UN resolution and Two State
Formula.” The way the Muslims were killed in Myanmar by the Buddhists, it is unprecedented in recent history. Buddha preached peace, but his followers in Myanmar acted worse than the beasts. Who is to be blamed? Moses and Buddha, or their followers who act against their teachings? The Muslims have become a dead nation because of kingships, secularism and dictatorships. We don’t have democracy governments. We should be ashamed on greeting each other on the festivity of Eid while forty thousand innocent civilians of Gaza had been brutally killed and are being killed on daily basis. The Zionists quote verses from the Old Testament and the New Testament and regard their right on Jerusalem as a divine right. They have made this war as a sacred war against the Muslims. No war is a sacred war and no genocide of the civilians has sacred or religious sanctity and sanction. We must save humanity. Islam preaches peace but It also ordains to fight against the aggressors. It is the time of Jehad against aggressors. Hell with Muslim rulers. They are criminals. Islam is a religion of peace, justice and humanity. Islam has laid down the principles of war. It says do not kill the elder lot, the children, the women, the patients, the people who drop the arms and seek peace. Fight only those who fight you. Islamic principles of war even bind us not to kill the animals of enemy and not to destroy their crops and their trees of fruit. Can any one or any religion show us better humanistic principles of war than Islam?
The living nations do not let their people die at the hands of others as the Muslims are mercilessly dying. If an American, a Russian or a Chinese is killed anywhere in the world, their governments take action and do not leave the matter without enquiry. Muslims have no power to stop the aggressors. Their governments are the touts of world powers. Under the situation, I strongly appeal to OIC to take immediate notice of the brutal killing of the innocent ten year old Muslim girl by the police of Myanmar. Being a Pakistani, I appeal to the press of Pakistan to take notice of this tragedy and I also appeal to the government of Pakistan to protest against this brutality and register protest to the government of Mayanmar. No killings of Muslims will be tolerated.
