Why it is criminal to remain silent about Farook's gruesome murder
The brutal killing of 31-year-old Farook, an atheist, by a handful of misguided Muslim fundamentalists is yet another attack on the Muslim community.
Tamil Nadu's Muslim community should have no shame in accepting that there are a bunch of misguided souls who have become blood thirsty monsters in the name of religion.
The
religion that teaches peace and tolerance is being time and again
defamed by these ill- informed mascots of hate. The Tamil Nadu Muslim
community is at the receiving end yet again because of the cowardly acts
by a few individuals.
There
cannot be any justification for any kind of killing and violence. No
matter which religion the one who is being killed and the killer belongs
to.
The cycle of
violence seems to be never ending. From Auditor Ramesh to Sasikumar...it
just never stops. A daily wage labour and a father of two is the latest
victim. The motive behind the killing frivolous, Farook was killed
because he was propagating Periyar's ideology.
Whenever
such incidents happen, Muslim organizations routinely condem it with a
statement and the matter ends there. In my opinion, beyond the lip
service, these organizations are nothing but mute spectators. Its
high time that the entire community takes up responsibility. It's time
to question the thoughts of such bigots and stop their actions. It's
time to put an end to the atrocities committed in the name of saving or
protecting Islam.
The
onus is on Muslim organisations now. These were the organisations that
claim to be the champions of Muslims. These organisations 'valiantly
fight' when movies portray Islam in a 'bad light'. Where are they now
when their own religion is being maligned by some misguided individuals?
These
organisations were the ones who ensured that actor Kamal Hassan's
Vishwaroopam movie never sees the light of the day unless their demands
were met. They wanted all scenes that had any reference to their
religion chopped off.
These
organisations do not let go of any opportunity to protest and resist
when even small remarks or mild criticism is made on Islam or the Muslim
community.
Where is their outrage now?
Why are we not talking about it? What is happening in Coimbatore and Melayapalayam is a matter of huge concern. By not talking about it we are not doing any good to anyone, it has to be discussed, they have to identified, isolated & such acts should be stopped. One cannot allow a few motivated organizations to run amok.
Farook's
father asks 'Why was my son killed and who gave them the authority to
do so? He believed in an ideology and he was propagating it. What is
harmful in that?'.
Do we have any answers to give this grieving father?
What possible explanations can be given to Farook's wife, his 10-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter?
When concerns are raised about those who are jailed in connection with
Coimbatore blast case & demand their release on humanitarian
grounds citing the ordeal their families have gone through during these
years, here is a family that has been destroyed by our own. Their dreams
shattered forever and what are we going to do about it?
Isn't
it our responsibility to prevent such incidents from happening? Isn't
it the responsibility of the 26 Muslim umbrella organizations from Tamil
Nadu to create awareness & expose evil designs of such misguided
groups? When will we isolate these fundamentalist organizations?
This madness has to stop and it has to STOP NOW.
Holy Quran says 'Lakum deenukum waliya deeni' which means "To you be your religion, and to me my religion..."
In simple terms it means 'Agree to disagree'. Why is it so difficult to abide by this?
Why
are we allowing blood to flow on our streets? Why is the Muslim
community in denial and turning a blind eye to such atrocities? It's
time to bell the cat with the help of democratic forces. It's time to
act.
It's time to rise against this intolerance & it's time to break our silence and stop these killers...
It's time to #FightTheFanatics...
Let us join hands to fight against the fanatics
ReplyDeleteislam is a fascist ideology and somehow you portray it as a religion of peace. the quran states the punishment of apostasy is death. Farook was an apostate according to the rulebook, he didnt choose another religion he simply denied the entire idea of it. the extremists have merely followed the idiotic rulebook, in many ways he is a better "muslim" than you are. Is he a decent human being? No,His religion stands in the way.
ReplyDeleteMindless people. Idiots. What is their problem in somebody's opinion on religion the existence of god? Feeling pity for his family.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true peace-loving Muslim !! Continue your good work, but be safe I'm afraid of your safety !!
ReplyDeleteAll religions are good as long as it protects humanity and uphold the values with inclusiveness. Forceful methods to force someone to follow some religion must end. Anything which do not improve with time will become obsolete. One can't stop the change, that is the law of the nature.
ReplyDeleteIf the source , Islam itself's is cancerous and violent in nature from the very begning, what will be the consequensy of this terror ill-religion. Let us not to cure symptomes, but try to annihilate the main source. This is simply logical opinion.
