Commanded to Kill
Exiled from the Grace of God
Not ever knowing
The bliss of Illumination
Suicide Bombers
Think and act
As if they are separate
From the ones they kill
Most brutally and savagely
Alas, not willing to discover
That we are all one
Inside the ocean of oneness
Under the waters of
Unity in multiplicity
Lacerating our own souls
When hurting others
Offending God
By shattering the gift of life
Which Almighty has bestowed
Upon us all with divine love
Yet killers grand and lustful
Blaspheming most ignorantly
That Allah the Merciful
Is commanding
To kill, maim and disfigure
Humanity holy and precious
From the bounties of
All gracious, all loving, all compassionate

Bin Laden's Baggage of Lies
So heavy is this baggage that one needs eons to reveal its contents. But for the sake of brevity it is suffice to say that in the entire history of human race Afghani women have not been so brutally oppressed as by the dictates of Bin Laden and his pious horde. They have been raped, beaten, tortured, beheaded and publicly flogged in the name of Islamic laws and Islamic justice. Still the tongue of hypocrisy is not silent as Bin Laden dares assert that hijab and veiling is Islamic, talking about virtue and vengeance over the vainglorious mounds of his brutality, violence and misogyny.
Hijab and veiling is not Islamic, though many believe it to be so, including Muslim men and Muslim women who question not the veracity of such customs imposed by so-called men of learning since centuries. Such customs have become solid beliefs, repeated so often by so many with such passion and persistency that they have assumed the aura of truth. Yet it is possible to shatter this false aura of truth by chiseling away layers upon layers of lies where the purity of expression still breathes love and radiance within the pages of Quran and Hadith. There is not a single verse in the Quran with any injunction of veil or hijab. Below are two verses from the Quran prone to misinterpretation by the arbiters of Islam.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display their adornments only that which is apparent, and to draw their scarves over their bosoms... Quran 24:31
O ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission is granted you. But if you are invited, enter, and when your meal is ended, then disperse. Lingering not for conversation. Lo, that would cause annoyance to the Prophet and he would be shy of asking you to go, but Allah is not shy of the truth. And when ye ask of the wives of the Prophet anything, ask it from them from behind a curtain... Quran 33:53
Pagan women as well as women from Judeo-Christian background wore veil and hijab as a mark of wealth, status and distinction. To instill the virtue of equality amongst Muslims Prophet Muhammad forbade Muslim women to wear veils. The pearls of Hadith below attest to this fact.
Abu Dawud 11:29
The veil was worn in Arabia as a mark of rank: and it was therefore disallowed, as pilgrimage required obliteration of all differences of rank. Forbidding a veil in a pilgrimage is a further conclusive proof that Holy Quran did not enjoin the wearing of veil, as in that case the prohibition here stated would be a contradiction of the Holy Quran. Gloves are not allowed because like the veil they are a mark of rank. Ornaments are allowed because they are not a mark of rank, and are worn by even ordinary people and laboring classes.
As for fighting--only in self-defense...
Hadith 16
Non-combatants were not killed in the battle, there being a prohibition against the killing of women and children. Fighting was to cease if the enemy offered peace, even though his intention might be to deceive.
Praying for peace in the world.

Judaic Law?
Hands of the Muslims
Cutting off hands for theft has nothing to do with Islamic Law with the exception that any punishment mentioned in the Quran is followed by For know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Anything ancient resembling such laws/injunctions are mentioned in Jewish Scriptures, though Jews--rarely if ever, have not practiced those laws since centuries, now being adopted by Iran in this time and age of so-called civilized world.
And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it in the way of charity, it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by which Allah hath revealed, such are wrongdoers. Quran 5:45
Hatred, violence and hypocrisy are becoming the laws of the Muslims, who are not willing to understand the message of the holy Quran, save alone reading the other four holy books of Islam, Torah, Bible, Psalms, Suhuf--scrolls of Abraham. They are the ones blackening the name of Islam and soiling the character of the Prophet by going against what he taught by the example of his life of loving kindness, compassion and forgiveness.
Law of any religion is love and love is God. When one ceases to love God's creatures, that person rejects the love of God and of the Prophet, guided by one's own will of false piety and a sense of self-righteousness. A great tragedy when Islam is usurped by the will of man guided by man-made laws, and his will kindling the bonfire of cruelty, oppression and corruption. Tragic indeed when young Muslims are exposed to the evil of violence and espousing it as the virtue of Islamic Law and Islamic Justice. Thus banished forever from the Grace and Guidance of God, joining the ones who malign the very name of Islam by nurturing violence.
In the name of the loving, merciful, forgiving God, and for the sake of the loving, forgiving, compassionate Prophet, upon whom you pronounce peace be upon him, Please Pious Muslims, desist from violence and teach your children the virtues of love, peace and harmony, not the vices of violence and virulence. If you can only heed the first verse of the first sura in the Quran, PLEASE--A Plea and a Prayer:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
The Beneficent, the Merciful
Owner of the Day of Judgment
Thee alone we worship, Thee alone we ask for help
Show us the straight path
The path of those whom thou hast favored
Not the path of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. Quran 1:1-7
May everyone in the whole wide world feel the breeze of God's grace and guidance through the gates of Love.

Mockery of Islam
Muslims have made a mockery of their own religion by presenting Islam as the most hateful and intolerant of all religions without even a trace of love or compassion. Mohammadi Ashtiani imprisoned in Iran to be stoned to death for adultery is just one of the examples in blackening the name of Islam with lies and distortion. Quran doesn't sanction murder of the adulterer or the adulteress, or stoning to death for woman.
Let the man who has not sinned, throw the first stone at the Jewish adulteress. These words of Christ still appeal to the sea of corruption in the hearts of men with the intention of purifying it with the flood of love, compassion and understanding.
And yet no Muslim woman was stoned to death during the life of Prophet Muhammad.
And as for two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent, let them be. Allah is relenting, merciful. 4:16 Quran
And yet again no Muslim woman was stoned to death during the life of Prophet Muhammad even after the revelation below which doesn't excuse the adulterer, since both are to be punished equally.
The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each with hundred stripes. 24:2 Quran
Where is this nameless, faceless adulterer while Mohammadi Ashtiani is being scourged so brutally by pious, ignorant men, blinded by the shafts of their own cruelty, hypocrisy and malfeasance?
How can the All Merciful, Infinitely Compassionate Allah sanction murder when killing is forbidden in Islam?
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Infinitely Compassionate
Say: O my servants who have transgressed against your own selves, do not despair of Allah's Compassion. For Allah is often forgiving, infinitely merciful. Turn to your Sustainer and surrender to Him before the suffering comes upon you. After that you will not be helped. And before the penalty suddenly comes upon you, without your perceiving it. Follow the best which your Sustainer had revealed to you. 39:53-55
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, Infinitely Compassionate
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book. In it, there are verses that are decisive in meaning, they are the basis of Book. And there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations of it. And none know its right interpretations except Allah, and those who are fairly grounded in knowledge. They say, we believe in it; the whole is from our Lord, and none heed except those guided with understanding. 3:7 Quran
Please women of the world, join hands against the tyrannical, man-made laws, appealing to the valleys of bigotry in Iran or wherever it takes root and sprouts, to release Mohammadi Ashtiani from the dungeon of cruelty, injustice and madness.
May All Loving, All Beneficent, All Forgiving Allah guide Muslim men on the path to love, peace and harmony, honoring the rights of women as Prophet Muhammad did, teaching the message of love, peace and equality by the example of his own life/actions.

For Taliban And Zabiullah Mujahid
Christ of Mercy is healing the Muslims
While Muhammad of Love is weeping for Christians
And for Muslims, murdered most brutally
By so-called pious Muslims
In the name of what
Come, join hands in love and pencance
O Terrorists of affliction
Respect the virtue of healing
Shun the vice of killing
Hatred is the enemy in your hearts
And cruelty the poison in your souls
Corrupting the sanctity of life
By hurting the hearts of others
And by defiling the name of Islam
Only pure of heart by their kind actions
Deserve to be called Muslims
The rest impure of heart
By the very curse of their evil actions
Fall into the self-made dungeon
Of their own making, vile heretics
Learn the art of loving
If not from the boundless ocean of love
Inside the heart of Prophet Muhammad
Then from the Prphets of the Creator
Abraham, Christ, Brahma, Bhudda, Nanak...
Have pity on the young ones
Whom you train to kill
Mothers, sisters, wives plead with you
For life and sanity
For peace in the world
For the holiness in loving and living
For honoring the gift of life
For obeying the commands of Almighty
Lo, those who believe in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad, and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans--whoever believeth in God and the Last Day and doeth right--surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall be no fear come upon them, neither shall they grieve. Quran 2:62
Lo, Allah enjoineth justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth abomination and wickedness. He exhorteth you in order that ye may take heed. Quran 16:90
Keep to forgiveness O Muhammad, and enjoin kindness, and turn away from the ignorant.
Quran 7:199

Hooligans of Islam
Desecrating the shrines in hearts
Is a crime much more heinous
Than committing the sacrilege of
Torturing to smithereens
The shrine of Data Durbar
And whipping the children of God
Into puddles of blood and gore
GHAZI
This name itself, heartless hooligans
Have degraded
Into the lowest pit of bestial connotation
By acts vile and deplorable
Amidst the fever of ignorance
Wounding countless hearts
That mourn and lament
The loss of love and their loved ones
Love by any name, by any color
Is a flower of veneration
Not a thorn of destruction
Please accept one moment of peace
From the gift of this life
All young and piously besotted
Inhale the fragrance of this flower
Which is a beautiful rose
Inside the rose garden of the Sufis
Learn from their love
Pure and boundless
Which speaks from heart to heart
Singing everlastingly
'Fill your heart with so much love
That there is no room left in it
For anything else.'

Privileged Children of God
Israel and Palestine
Gaza Strip and blockade
American and Taliban
From Pakistan to Afghanistan
Such murder and brutality
Savages and madmen
No one worthy of the name human
Daring to challenge Israel
Or stop the madness of war and greed
Such pity and shame
That drones which kill
Wicked and innocent alike
Are much like the human-bombs
Blowing themselves to smithereens
Madmen over the borders holy and parched
Slaughtering with the sanctimonious
Sword of sanctity
While sanctity of life
Bleeds on the streets
Ah, the civilized West
And the enlightened Europa
Talking of peace and warring indiscriminately
Americana and Britannia
Lawless Israelites
And hooligans of the east
Privileged children of God
Inheritors of the holy land
To murder, gloat and oppress
Where, O, where the prophets of peace
If any
Condemn the false jihadists
Or embrace the suffered and the suffering
Blood and bloody acts
Crimson and congealed
Hope still flutters somewhere
Pandora of the prophetess
Wailing and lamenting
Her tears hot and scalding
Flooding the gates of ignorance
Sparkling like myriad of stars
Searching the sands of wisdom
Alas, hearts turned cold
Polished as the mirrors of vengeance
Stare back aghast
Hopelessness all, death and desolation
Cross of peace is fallen
Crescent of love is no more
And yet, that pale, mournful light
Escapes the shroud of darkness
A cry of agony ripping through the sky
From the lips of the orphans and the widows
The bereft and the bereaving
Send down the rain of sanity, Lord
Thy grace of blessing
To purge clean the rivers
Of hatred, malice, cruelty
Hush, listen
A song of love
Remote and ineffable
Can anyone hear
