War Drums & March Towards Syria

I am in no way, shape or form supporting Assad but I find it hard to believe him using chemical weapons when he knows that such actions will be a suicide for his regime and will only expedite his downfall. History is full of events when a third party exploits the conflict between two for their own goals and aspirations and we should be mindful of that. Prophet Mohammed saw said that you should support your brother, whether he is an oppressor or the oppressed one! People asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” The Prophet said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.” Hence, there is no doubt that we need to stop the bloodshed, but we should also be careful and ensure that we are not being used by our enemies for their own agenda. We should be careful, mindful and not hasty, is all I am saying. There is a punjabi proverb, “apna maray ga tay sutay ga chaan ich iee! i.e. if one of your own will assault you, he will at least put you under the shade unlike your enemies…

Syrian Chemical Weapons & Saudi King’s Apathy

When Mongols attacked Khwarezmia Empire (now Iran), the Abassi caliph ignored the killings of millions and in fact supported the mongols. Al-Mustasim’s (Abassi Caliph) false sense of security, peace, bliss and apathy is not  much different from the Saudi King(and all of us in some way) who is totally ignoring Egypt, Syria, etc. and hence will face the same demise as Mustasim! Mustasim btw was wrapped in a rug and  was trampled to death with Mongol horses.
Nobody is willing to learn from history and everybody is making the same mistake over & over again and expecting different results. Either these dumbasses will get different results by making same mistakes perpetually or Einstein was wrong and a dumbass!!!

Massacre In Egypt

I always follow muslim bashing radio shows just to get the feel of hatred against Islam and Muslims. So today they were justifying the killings of 700+ peaceful protesters in Egypt by saying: ” It is not army’s fault! Army warned them but they didn’t listen hence they asked for it!” I was thinking: what would have been their reaction if Mursi did the same with the protesters when he was the president? They would have shredded him into pieces which btw they were! Then the following ayah from quran came to my mind and everything became crystal clear: وَلاَ يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىَ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُواْ
