Q & A: 1

Q: Why are you a muslim?
A: I dunno. i think i just got lucky hehe



Q: So, be a muslim is something good?
A: Yeah. err, any reason it shouldn't be good?



Q: Well, as you can see, there are many muslims who have been convicted to crimes around the globe. That should be a reason being a muslim is not something good.
A: Well, as you can see, there are MANY PEOPLE being convicted to crimes around the globe. But, most of the non-muslims manage to escape because people chose not to care about them. Somehow, in every religion, there are bad people. You can't judge a religion solely based on it's follower. You need to see the content of the religion. In doing justice, you must not be biased. But in many cases that involved muslims, the world chose to be unjust.



Q: Ok, Ok. Being unjust? For example?
A: Hmm, how about this. Your mother gave you an apple. And then, at school, you met me, who didn't have anything to eat. A man asked you to give me a bite of it. You didn't want to, because it's yours. But the man forced you to give me a bite of the apple. You finally gave it to me. But then, I grew greedier and wanted more of the apple. And the man forced you to give more of the apple to me....



Q: Hey! That's unfair! It's mine, why must I give it to you? and the man was not being fair to me. Why did he follow your desire when he knew the apple was mine?
A: See. You know what being just is. You know how to be fair. Yes, it's true. Forcing someone to give his belongings to someone else is simply being unfair. But, in the case of Palestine and Israel, people chose to be blind and deaf. The Palestinians were forced to give their land to the Jews. Israel was officially on the map on the year 1948, greedily taking the land of the Palestine bits by bits. Now, I couldn't find Palestine officially on the map; but Israel on the ruins of Palestine.



Q: Well, that's a different story.
A: What do you mean by different? Aren't the Palestinians human like us? Like you? Like me? Arent' the Palestinians blood red like us? Like you? Like me? Tell me how different are they from those who died in September 11th. Just because we're muslims, you chose to treat us indifferently.



Q: Err, why are you so upset? Palestine is not your country. You don't know anyone living in Palestine.
A: Owh, wouldn't you be upset if your family being treated like that?



Q: Yeah, IF they're my family.
A: Well, in Islam, the muslims are brothers and sisters. Shouldn't I be sad and angry if my fellow brothers and sisters being harm in such inhuman way? Allah tells us that 'we are not true muslims until we love our brothers and sisters the way we love our own selves'. Allah promises that 'He'll help us as long as we are willing to help our brothers and sisters'.



Q: Owh. Ok, enough with that. Don't you know that muslims always being labelled as terrorist? Aren't you afraid being called a terrorist?
A: Terrorist? That's what the ignorant people called us. Terrorist? What does terrorist mean? It means, the one who creates terror. And, why are you people feel terrified with us?



Q: Because, the muslims will send us bombs and explodes themselves, and cause much harm to the public.
A: Owh. But, you didn't call those who drop the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki terrorist? You didn't call those who openly raped and killed our sisters terrorists? You didn't call those who invade the muslims countries as terrorists? Those whom you didn't call terrorist have created more terror than the muslims. You still don't get it?



Q: What?
A: That you are seeing the world in a biased perspective. How can you be fair then? You already decides that muslims are always bad and those who go against the muslims are good. See the reasons for the muslims fights. They are just trying to protect their home, their family, their pride and dignity, and their belief; they fight with their lives.



Q: But...
A: But?



Q: But, they'll die. They don't have equipments that can match their enemy. And, they would not gain anything from this war.
A: Their firm belief to God is their weapon. That's why no enemy can defeat the muslims who fight. The mujahideen are not looking for the worldly materials; they are looking for Allah's jannah. And that is more than enough to be the cause of their fights.

InsyaAllah.
