Blood is NOT Cheap
The governmental media of Muslim countries (at large) is silent about the on-going atrocities in Gaza – Palestine. The war of Palestine is ongoing since decades … since the birth of Israel in heart of it. The Holocaust that west is severely scared of is what we are hearing about in Gaza. Pictures of blood-soaked brothers, sisters and children is blogged daily across the internet. Well is anyone on political front is actually doing something about it? I think its just few people raising voice and well That’s It!
Who wants to intervene in “problem of others” … that’s largely becoming Muslim psyche. On top of it when you get to read stuff like this, the frustration increases.
Apart from writing mere words and whining over international insensitivity we can do one more thing. Something that should be more effective and direct. Its the prayers. Pray as hard as you’ll pray for your own pains. Probably Allah will reward us doubly by lessening our own pains too …. but to me its the only help I can offer …!
Oh well you can boycott Israeli products too … but the world economy is grabbed in Jewish fist so probably boycotting everything won’t be easy.
In the meanwhile I share with you plight of a Palestinian child…
Roughly translated as:
Palestinian, my name is Palestinian
I engraved my name on all the books of poetry
With the river’s handwriting that
The letters of my name, the letters of my name, follows me, lives with me, and gives me life, it runs through my veins.
The mountains and river knows me and love me.
I used the most strength, and told my nation to be.
Salah Al-Din is within me, calling me. And all my Arabisim calls me for freedom.
And my flag that was pulled down, on the hills of Heteen.
And the voice of the prayer called of Al-Aqsa crying to be saved.
And thousands of prisoners calling the nation to Al-Quds come, come to a war that frees from injustice and kills the unjust Zionist..
And puts back the flag of Palestine in the universe..
And my word continues: Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian
Gaza - from Pakistan with Love & Prayers!

“Pray as hard as you’ll pray for your own pains.”
doing that exactly@@@
our sins are way beyond measure now i think
Muslim Countries need to unite against this terrorism! :@
The unity of Muslim countries seem like a dream :S
The silence on their part is disgusting.
Yeah the muslim countries should do something about it !! :@ … they are just talking things … they should have taken an action till now but nooo … they are just seeing … and living with their silence … i guess they are bloody afraid of defying the Gr8 America … shit they should definitly take some action !! 765 Palestinians murdered by Israel in Gaza (more than 230 children & 100 women) & 3100 injured … all this is not a joke :@ !!
The poem’s so heart breaking
I wish I could fly there right now – I could be of some help :`(. I hope we see better days soon. I pray we see better days.
Your words hit the mark, but it’s so unfortunate that those in power are remaining silent and refusing to take a step forward against this atrocity.
You’re right, prayers are all we have to offer and we should pray with a lot of sincerity.
high five hun!!
You are absolutely right, the least we could do to support our brothers and sisters is boycotting all Isreali-linked products…
Thanks for this… I’ll make sure to spread this around… we all should, not just on the basis of being Muslims, but for the sake of humanity and crimes against it…
Thanks
yeah prayers. *sigh*
I know my words will not give them relief and make them happy therefore i decided i will not write more on this topic. I have written about Palestine twice (Link1) and (Link2). I was very depressed at that time. I think I am also getting *bayhiss* like *Muslim rulers*
Dont have much to say … I’m feeling more and more hopeless by the end of the day.
=( This is sad. =(
