At a subdued national memorial ceremony on Friday for victims of New
Zealand's Masjid callous assault, speakers emphasised confidence in
the nation and its trenchant handling of the tragedy's aftermath. On
March the fifteenth, a white supremacist of allegedly Australian
origin has ruthlessly opened fire on worshippers during Friday prayer
and insensately murdered fifty people. The terrorist broadcasted his
assault Live on Facebook. This leaves the latter utterly reprobated
and concurrently held accountable of hosting such brutally awful
scene. It has plainly breached terms of nonviolence consignment. It
seems to be tolerant of promoting terrorism. I therefore had to
permanently terminate my Facebook account one day post to this
terrible incident as it was broadcasted Live on their servers for
approximately thirty-seven minutes. Consequently, the incident was
instantly condemned by world leaders, pronounced of terrorist motive.
Muslims have been longly accused of solely committing terrorism. The
Christchurch unfortunate incident has significantly proved this
presumption to be enormously delusive and detrimental. Terrorism is a
severally reprehensible act, educed from iniquity. It has no essential
basis in any belief, notion or ideology. So, we couldn't assume it
derived from Islam, Christendom, Hebraism, Buddhism, Hinduism nor even
Atheism. It is an act of pure evil, aiming to merely repress innocent
civilians through exercising intimidation. Faith might be perverted to
justify such wicked acts but it shouldn't be incorrectly scolded for
them. Faith or the lack of, both are wholly impeccant. Terrorism is
countered with exerting social integrity and solidarity. It is a
heavily revolting disposal, has no settlement among civil humans,
despite their faith or the lack of. Abhorrent behaviour may possibly
lead to the rate of extreme religious devotion and thence, commission
of terrorism. This vicious ideology must be utterly pulverised.
Governments alone won't be able to tackle this. Religious communities
have a major role to rectify the situation. Spiritual leaders of all
faiths are ubiquitously enjoined to wholly unite in the face of
bigotry and racism, particularly in America, whereas a direly
scoundrel chief is awfully operating. Spiritual leaders are expected
to immensely encourage their fellow congregants to fervently engage
with their counterparts in projects that are of possibly common
interest such as philanthropy. State affiliated education as in
America and beyond must substantially accentuate onto the absolute
cruciality of implementing proper theological vocation on a rather
broader spectrum. In America, many people are miserably uneducated and
particularly in the southern region, whereas Protestantism is gravely
dominant. They instead rely on mass media and it often feeds their
minds with leastwise, stereotypically noxious presumptions. Here in
the Muslim world, prestigious theological edification must be widely
extended to promote moderate discernment of sacred text and avoid the
rise of extremist views. The trait of the average Muslim must be
constituted on the principles of gracility and excellence. Even though
in the face of impudent disposal, a true believer shouldn't lose his
temper. Furthermore, we are not suppose to be unjustly judgmental of
people and their beliefs. We are inclined to treat others
deferentially, despite their ideational orientation. Last Friday, I
had a scrumptious breakfast with my friend Michael at a traditionally
continental restaurant called Mince. We gladly ate and chewed the
fat. Michael and I are great friends. We have been in pleasant
communication for more than thirteen-years. He and I have
intemperately dissentient perspectives on various subjects unless we
never treated each other discourteously. I am perfectly unsympathetic
with derision of someone's faith. Antipathy should never be assuaged
in genuinely civil sphere. It should be rather applicably declined.
Whether it is Islam, Christianity or Judaism, faith shouldn't be
pirated for primarily political objectives. It is meant to be the
divine statute to guide humans to prosperity in this life and the one
that is yet to unveil. To those who deliberately attempt to
marginalise faith in general out of malice, you're just to be
disposed. As to those who do not embrace a particular religion yet
they are respectful, you are welcome to enter with me in a civilly
worthful scrutiny if you are interested. Lastly, I wish each and
everyone who receive this in mainly Europe and North America a happy
weekend with your family and loved ones. Here in Egypt, the weekend is
halfway through. It is nearly Saturday morning as I finish composing
this piece. I intend to go visit my mother-in-law with my spouse to
have lunch with her. Thank you for reading, cordially.
