“It is Eid today. Muslims around the world are celebrating, as they should. Happy Eid Everyone!
But I am in tears today, which I am trying to hide from my family – and from my extended family of man, as they say.
Because I cry for the victims of earthquakes – in Haiti and elsewhere.
And for the victims of tsunamis and Katrina, who, after all this time, are yet to be made whole.
And I cry for the victims of floods in Pakistan. All 21 million of them according to the United Nations.
And I cry for the nameless, countless victims of the endless “wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan. All the wounded, the dead and the dying. All the widows and the orphans.
Their screams, groans, moans and sobs fill my ears and burn my brain. Are they not people, I ask myself. Are those little ones not children, I ask.
In response, my tears gush in bigger torrents.
And I cry with shame for a humanity that would not cry for them. Or would scale its tears to their names and identities; their race and religion; their ethnicity and nationality; and to the fine technicalities of their own geopolitics and so-called national interests..
But it is Eid. Everybody is happy. As they should be.

Would someone then ask my brothers and sisters who seem to be waging a hate campaign against Islam – and Muslims – in Europe and elsewhere, would somebody please ask them if they even know what Islam is?
“They say Truth is the first casualty of war. Makes sense, does it not? For, once you kill Truth, then it becomes easier to kill people. That is why Falsehood is such a staunch and inseparable ally of Tyranny. They are two peas in ...

“Those who are so loud and aggressive about condemning Female Illiteracy in a place like Afghanistan, how loud and aggressive do you think they have ever been in condemning or fighting Male Illiteracy in that society?
Or in any other Muslim society anywhere ...
“Islam may be a lot of things. But a champion, advocate, instigator or friend of senseless Violence it is not.
Nor does Islam use lies, fraud and tricks of any kind as part of its repertoire in dealing with others — or ...
“The tragedy of our times is not that Falsehood wins and Truth loses. The real tragedy is how few people seem to care about Truth or dare to speak it.” (Dr. Pasha)
