When I was reading
the following BBC report*, I felt like crying. What a pity of our
hateful human world! The powerful Israeli bomb made a direct hit on the
basement where families, mostly women and children, had taken shelter
from the fighting in Lebanon.
One witness lamented, �May God have mercy on the
children. They came here to escape the fighting.� Where is God? Is there
such a thing as God, Allah, Bhagwan or whatnot who is almighty,
all knowing, all controlling, and able to hear prayers?
Of course, the root cause of hatred in the Middle East is the dogmas of
the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions. The Jews
and the Muslims of Palestine and Israel have their origin in the same
land. They have been brainwashed over a period of almost fifteen hundred
years to identify themselves as two different peoples because of their
religions. They have gotten used to hating each other because of their
religions. If they could look at themselves as just one nation of that
land, there would be no room for this intense from of hatred there.
I feel terribly angry and sad reading the report on the death of
innocent Muslim children in Qana, Lebanon. This is in spite of the fact
that the Muslim elite hate-mongers and their field-criminals of my
birthplace discriminate against, hate, disrespect and commit crimes
against non-Muslims like myself.
I remember a news report after the destruction of the World Trade Center
in New York on September 11, 2001, where a young man from Bangladesh was
lamenting the death of his lively younger sister. Even under the
sorrowfulness of the untimely and horrible death of a lovely young
sister in the hands of the terrorist suicide-bombers, the man was
expressing his outrage against Muslims killing Muslims. Even at that
kind of a sad moment, to him, a Muslim killing a Muslim was more
objectionable than a Muslim killing a non-Muslim.
Religion is such an addiction of hatred and senselessness! When are the
humans going to apply some sense against their structured religions, and
stop the hatred?
