Violence in the middle east....


How sad, and how unreal the situation in the Middle East. Which bully started throwing rocks first? It reminds me of a bunch of third graders bickering on the playground. For what? for years the Israelis have flexed their American supplied military might at the palestinians who really have little but their pride and family. It is like shooting a patriot missile at the guy driving his family to market in a Donkey drawn cart. Or shooting million dollar missiles at camels? The ones getting hurt are the innocent bystanders, men women and children who simply want to live their lives in peace.

It is different here in the US. In the town where I live, most of the local Jewish folk and the members of the Muslim Ummah (community) work together on projects to inform the public and dispel myths. Jews and Christians are referred to as the People of the Book in the Qur'an, so we must be respectful and listen to their views. We are all accountable to God in the Last Day, and will stand before Him side by side and account to Him. Alhamdullilah that we may prove worthy!
