Is the US FBI Islamic? Then how come it is degrading a female* to such level and terrorizing millions of Muslims throughout the world? Only Muslims are supposed to be such villains. We Muslims are convicted with the charges of such brutality. Then happened to the FBI? I wonder; did they just accept Islam?
Should we start treating every American (or British for that matter) with suspicion and blame every one of them for raping Aafia Siddiqui? If every Muslim can be a terrorist then every American is a rapist. But since I am not a terrorist, every American is not a rapist. I cannot blame every American for the crimes of just one organization.
Where is Jean Sasson now? Is she going to write about the plight of this lady? Will she write the story of an oppressed Islamic woman or she only writes about women oppressed through Islam?
And this is just one person we know of. Are there more? Maybe and Maybe not.
I am but just one female muslim who cannot help but wonder. I am scared of being raped. For us, our respect comes from this
This is what I want to say to the FBI: When you do not let Muslims live peacefully, then maybe terrorist are left with no option. As a muslim, I can say that my religion advocates peace. Even during Jihad, it is forbidden to harm women, children and anyone who is not a party to the war. This rule always prevented me from accepting the views of the fundamentalists. But after the episode of Afia Siddiqui, I am forced to wonder if we have been pushed beyond our limits.
I plead with the Americans not to label every Muslim as a terrorist. Give us a chance to show that we are also peace loving creatures. Even if we are criminals then please let us be judged by a judge. Give us one chance to defend ourselves and save us from the fate of Aafia Siddiqui. Even if she was a criminal, worse crimes have been committed and the criminals still stand in the court. Then was her crime worse than a serial killer’s?
I know Muslims will have no effect of this because they have been rendered numb. We cannot feel for anyone because we are forced to think about our fate. But maybe others can make their government understand. Even if you don’t anything, I will understand that even you have loved ones to worry about.
*This refers to the case of Aafia Siddiqui, if you know her.

I understand the basic problems with the reputation that Islam has in the wider world. Unfortunately, many people are happy to remain and talk in their ignorance.
ReplyDeleteIt is up to the rest of us to try harder to spread the truth. But anger may easily result in the making of mistakes.
Ensure that truth is your sword and logic is from both hands!?
Yes, it only takes a lick of diamond to kill yourself and with so many fanatics out there... it does happen to loose its magic.
ReplyDeleteAnd if my writings bring the magic back, thats magical then
