We talk about Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Kuwait, etc everyday here. We all feel pain for those suffering in Palestine and all those regions but its also sad to see a shooting of kids in our own country. That could have well been a child of mine, or Sis Shanazz. Some of those kids could have been Muslim. You dont know, I dont know, we just dont know.
Anyway, I hate when Arabs get high and mighty saying Americans dont care about Palestine when the Arab countries could have liquidated Palestine and given them all new lives free of terror, but nope, no one did. All the Arab countries could very well band together and declare war against Israel. This would be WW3 probably and I dont really want that BUT it would be the lavish, Arab countries finally growing a backbone. But no, they'd rather build the worlds most expensive christmas tree (Looking at U.A.E) or build more useless monuments (KSA)
This is a subject for another thread, but lets be serious. No one really stands up for Palestine where it really counts. They want to diss Americans and make US feel bad when everyone is failing Palestine. May allah swt guide us all and save the sufferage of Palestine. Ameen.
"Discussing middle east everyday?" Strangely I seldom see that kind of thread, while I check this forum regularly. Also, even if there are muslims amongs those children, there are millions of other muslims including children who need "mourning" more. If the dead children are muslim, they need no mourn, they will happily go to paradise now.
At least the Arabs don't veto againts Palestine in UN. They also don't defend occupation in muslim's land nor help financing enemy of Islam. They stand with Palestine always in UN and help Palestine as much as they can in millions dollar. The reason why they can't help openly in war is because they must think of their people's walfare.But secretly they help Palestine in war, like Iran with her new rocket to help Hamas. Also muslim hackers who did help to destroy israel database.
If you are muslims, your priority is your religion first. What is the point of keep blaming another muslims? After the "rejoicing muslims" and now the Arabs? What's gotten into the ummah now? I am really "saddened" by this situation. This is much more critical for Islam rather than those "rejoicing muslims"!
Yeah well, why not? Are they not children? Are they not innocent?
Why is it that some Muslims feel the need to devalue the lives of these innocent children, five or six year olds, just because the Western media ignores the plight of the Muslims in other countries.. I don't understand. Yes, horrible things are going on in Syria, Palestine, Pakistan, Burma and so many other places, but that shouldn't take away from how horrible this massacre was either. The fact that the parents of these children who died are non-Muslims means nothing.
They're children. Our blood isn't made of gold and theirs out of water.
What's the difference between those who rejoice at the deaths of our innocent children and the Muslims who rejoice at the deaths of these innocent children?
Like Sister Shahnazz said, we have to rise above their level.
Yes, you don't understand, because your children have never been killed in front of you while you can do NOTHING except of praying. We are not angel and Allah is not jesus christ who will wash away all the sins without punishment. NO. We are human, sometimes we are suffered by others and can't accept nor forgive easily. Allah has allowed us to pray, even badly, for any injustice acts. Allah will repay all those who injustice so they will feel how are their victims' feelings. After punishment, Allah will forgive them. That is FAIR!
They are perhaps nothing to you but those oppressed muslims see that as symbol of "justice to be served". That is nothing compared to countless dead muslims children in Palestine. It is your rights to be sad for those children, but it is also their rights to rejoice. Blaming those muslims for rejoicing proves that you have no sympathy towards your fellow muslims' pain!
Oh, I am sure there are many differences. Firstly, because muslims are not the ones who kill the children. They are killed by their own people. So, those muslims have no fault. While those westerners KILLED muslims and they paid no mind. That is fully their faults. Secondly, muslims have full rights to rejoice because they have been oppressed while the westerners don't have this rights because they did the killings. Thirdly, muslim's blood is much more valuable before Allah. Fourthly, we are not going to heaven based on nationality but based on religion, so religion matters must come first.
Be sad at your content, but blaming your own brothers and sisters because of this matter is insensitive and shameful!
