Let it be the end of times

One more suicide bombing. More senseless deaths. It now seems that everyday all you hear is body count. Mulim, Christian, Jew, Hindu etc all dying left right and center. Babies dead before they learn to walk, women dead before they could have babies, boys dead before their first shave. This whole blasted world is turning into a morgue.

I hate it. I hate it so much. I wish Allah would just strike his hand down on all those who are responsible. I, feel guilty for being happy and safe. Yes, safe in Karachi. Safer than the innocent men, women and children in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Africa. Safer than most places on earth. We are blessed that we know our children will live to see another sunrise.

I am in the office today. A while ago when we were having strikes because of the Nishtar Park killings, people on Karachi Metblogs had decided that it was high time we took back our city. Some said they would go to work no matter what. I was one of them. I don't know if my coming to work makes a difference today, but it has made a difference to me. I am braver now. I fear death less.

I just hope and pray that the leaders of the Islamic world would wake up soon. The leader of the Arab world Saudi Arabia, has said that Hezbollah should suffer for it’s irresponsible actions. I would like to ask these eunuchs sitting in Makkah how long will we the Muslim Ummah suffer because of their cowardice. Can someone please ask USA to return the dignity of these caretakers of Islam and Kaba' in exchange for oil.

No swarms of Ababeel will fly with stones this time. Our faith is lost. We are lost. We are silent and dead.

Violence in any form is hard to take but when it has seeped into the fabric of your society and become a part of a cuture that now accepts deaths of children as a necessary sacrifice for things to improve while the ways of the people in power stay the same, what more can one do except pray for the mercy of Allah.

May the Almighty protect us all, and the cities we live in with peace in our live and may He save us from the cruelty of those inhuman enough to have forgotten the sanctity of life as laid out in the religion that they claim to follow,

its sad, veru sad. But i believe the only way through is definace
though our definace may be taken as insensitivity, but only we know what it means to go out there in the burning streets.

We must move on

No sister, we are not silent and dead. We are awake, we are alive and we are rising.

Insha'Allah - sabr - all we need is unity behind Truth, and it is coming.

Never, ever, give up hope while you shout against the injustice.

Inspirex, Mansoor: So glad you were at work. It just felt good to defy the strike call. I know it was harded for some people to move about because they were in the middle of it all, but I know they tried too.

Shahid: Thanks for reminding me to hold on. Faith is all we have and it is all we need to succeed. I am praying for all those who are out there in the war zones. Allah bless them all.

Jaded: Ameen, Sum Ameen

We all hate it as much as you do...These suicide bombing attacks are vain efforts to escape to hell thats what I believe...I also wish for a miracle from God to teach them a lesson...Life is so precious...Live it beautifully.

Stay Beautiful...!

Thank you for visiting my blog
So you are safe in Karachi. That's a blessing and of course far better than the Lebanonese, Iraqis, Palestinian, etc. But there is a difference, in Karachi no foreign forces are attacking. I keep praying for the innocent Karachiis.
