Here goes a saying, “Those who do not feel the music think the dancer mad.” The outlook of the globe after 9/11 incident looks quite bleak and disappointing not only for those who have been the victims but also for the aggressors. Sometimes it seems as if most of the rulers [of the Muslim States] already ensured Uncle Sam of their full support about which the ignorant public is simply unaware.
The poor public are keeping to pray to Almighty Allah for thwarting the impending war against Iran, the grounds against which has already been levelled. When I see the leaders of Muslim States holding meetings specially with regard to resolving the burning issue of US-Iran, it reminds me of a story as to who will bell the cat. They are spending alot on their officials and private tours and trips from one country to another and holding meetings, but ironically, results are so far coming negative. The time is running out and nobody knows what will happen next moment.
The other day holding a copy of the Arab Times, I met a friend who asked me about the US intentions and preparations of war on Iran. Well, by reading the papers and watching news is what one can keep themselves abreat of the gravity of situations. Anyhow, I answered him, “Just wait a little bit more.” He asked me, “What for?” I had not yet answered him, he questioned me, “Don't you see the unity of our Muslim leaders? If they would remain so, US can never ever attack Iran.” I knew he uttered so just in an extreme anguish.
I am afraid that if situations go on at such a pace, the day is not far off to see a Third World War [we have been listening and talking about so far] but I believe it would wind up the world too like a carpet is rolled up. So that's what's the result of advanced and higher education and literacy. Let me ask you if an ignorance is not bliss? I guess it is.
Needless to say that from Islamic standpoint, a man is the most superior of all creatures spread on the surface of earth that's why he is called 'Ashraful Ma7looqaat' but the socialogists have defined him to be a social animal. Well, under the existing circumstances, if viewed carefully, he seems to have fallen far below the line of being an animal. Why? Because he lost trust and faith. He lost true spirit of love. He lost kindness. He lost mind. He lost sense. Yes, sense too. Because he does not think that the step he is due to take will multiply problems and hardships not only for himself but for the rest of his fellows too.
Therefore, let me correct [or add] something more to the definition made by the honourable socialiogists that it is true that man is a social animal but a violent one. Since we always watch in documentary movies on wildlife where the forest guards always try to catch and cure the abnormal animals that go mad otherwise it's shot dead. Therefore, now the world ) we are living in if compared to a forest ) I am sure one will find anormous peace and satisfaction in forest. No fighting, no arguments, no backbiting, no mudslinging, no faultfinding, and no war against you. Is it not a peaceful and ideal life?
