Women 4 Peace
Zen of Islam
An organization run by four women is soliciting crumbs of reason, wisdom and compassion with the hope of stopping this madness of 'suicide bombing' and gunmen... profoundly grieved by yesterday's tragedy at Ft. Hood, Texas.
Peacemakers from all over the world, from any origin humble or exalted, regardless of sex, race or religion are requested to contribute to this blog for the sake of exchanging the seeds of ignorance with the kernels of wisdom.
To begin with: for the godless suicide bombers who are doing this good work of carving rivers of blood in the name of Islam, should know, that Islam sanctions not brutality but love, peace and forgiveness. Prophet Muhammad as he lived his life is the pure reflection of Islam, which is nothing to do with the hellfire of hatred inside the hearts of the ignorant murderers. Killing is forbidden in Islam, if only the pious fools could take a moment to breathe the purity of love, which in essence is the highest of virtues in Islam (as in any other religion) worth cultivating. The same virtue which the Prophet taught by the example of his life, not by preaching.
This earth soaked in oceans of grief is pleading for the balm of sanity. The hearts of the mothers are turned into graveyards of sorrow, whose reward for harvesting life has become the volcano of agony and surcease.
Speak out, mothers, wives and daughters against the tyranny of these lunatics lusting after paradise while defiling the gift of life from God, and tainting each level of existence with the blood of innocent victims.
Have pity on your wayward children, O Venerabel Judges of Islamic Law! Teach these blood-mongering heathens the true precepts of Islam. Denounce their violent actions which are untterly barbaric and unIslamic. Speak out loud and clear for the sake of Islam, for the peace of the world.
Speak out you women who are oppressed, speak out against violence and injustice. Your fathers, brothers, husbands might have the power to disfigure your faces, but they can't destroy your souls. Your souls, longing for the freedom to right the wrongs done to you by creatures not worthy of the name human.
Speak, learn, teach! Save your children, save the world. Believe in the vast, loving soul of all women, striving toward nurturning the fruits of love, peace and harmony. Ponder upon this paradox, what takes nine months for one woman to nurture the sapling of life is destroyed by one man in the blink of an eye, and many countless such sapling in the wake of this destruction. To save each precious sapling of life we women as collective force have to go through the labor pains of soul-searching solutions, again and again, day after day, month after month, year after year till the canker of ignorance is rooted out of the minds and the hearts of the hypocrites and murderers. Hopefully, before the centuries could be swallowed by centuries.
Taking the liberty of plucking out a few morsels of wisdom from the heart of the Quran and Hadith (Since suicide bombers claim to be Muslims?) as food for thought for the self-righteous parasites, who are feeding their hatred with the blood of the innocent men, women and children.
