A Soldier Who Killed An Ant

Michael,

Thanks for your opinion.I really don t give a f..i..g about it.I am a cosmopolitan, basically free of prejudices and stereotyping traits.Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.I write to please myself,not others or for money.I am not a fan of romanticism,I am into realism.Hubbers here are much into romanticism ,food recipes and how to deal or make..articles.This is an American website and Americans are much involved in their own affairs,unmindful of what is happening outside the country.Of course they are some exceptions like you,cat,faith,debbie,issac,epiman,dreamseker,..There are some works here that really dont deserve to be in the hall of fame:)

Micheal,

Don t get me wrong!I am not judgmental or an intelectual snob.I can coexist with different cultures,religions..I am Moroccan but not chauvinist.I listen to sane as well as insane but I accept only what is built on the reasonable thesis.I dont demean American Hubbers writing,but I was wondering how can people a clear majority of Americans in the prime of their “intellectual” lives, in the richest society with ample idle time just unplug from the world? that is kind of selfcentered.What baffles and disturbs me is that they’re much more interested in Tom Cruise’s baby or Paris Hilton than issues and ideas of substance

At the time of founding fathers education was largely restricted to a wealthy few, especially collegiate-level classes. And society was largely agrarian, with many people still working from dawn-to-dusk on farmland during spring, summer and fall.No TV, no radio and daily newspapers were somewhat restricted to cities. Books expensive even though the level of education and intellectual participation was pretty incredible.

Do you see my scribble called: My confession:How vulnerable I am!When I published it, the Hubpages featured it as it didnt meet their standard of quality,asking me to add some improvments but when it hunted :) 54 comments,they automatically featured it as good quality.Is this the a fair measure of quality

I am not here for accumulating accolades or money.I am here to earn friends and I think I got a best one.You Michael!Many blessings to you!

Why I continue ranting for Syria ?

We Muslims are emotionally attached to each other.If Muslims treated badly in Russia,Muslims from South Africa feel sad and wish to go to help.

The Prophet Peace Be Upon Him described the Muslims as one body,if one member becomes sick then the other members of this one body will take care of the sick one:

"The Believers, in their mutual love, mercy and compassion, are like one body: if one organ complained, the rest of the body develops a fever." (Bukhari & Muslim)

The media outlets and internet have no shortage of news revealing the turmoil that Muslims are living in around the world: from occupation of Muslim lands to the dire poverty of our brothers and sisters. This is where a sense of brotherhood becomes the vital connection between Muslims around the globe. It is our obligation to be politically and intellectually aware of all affairs impacting Muslims everywhere. Allah has described the believer as a brother to another believer, and therefore it should pain us - just as it would if it were our own blood brother - when we read about the plight of our fellow Muslims.

The Prophet Mohamed Peace Be Upon Him also said about brotherhood: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Bukhari & Muslim)

Let me give you an example,When The Prophet Mohamed Peace Be Upon Him and his Companions immigrated from Mecca to Madina ,He built a Mosque.The Prophet Mohamed Peace Be Upon Him proceeded to establish one of the main pillars of an Islamic community - brotherhood. He paired up the Muhajireen(Meccains) and Ansar( Muslims of Madinah), who were virtual strangers to each other prior to this. The two groups understood and accepted the responsibilities that came with this pairing, leading to unique acts, such as sharing wealth and other brotherly deeds, which helped ease the difficulties facing the Muhajireen who left everything behind in Mecca.

This action had brought about a profound transformation in perception of what brotherhood means between members of the Muslim community. It redefined the concept of brotherhood beyond the typical understanding of blood or tribal relationships. This was clearly demonstrated by Musab Ibn Umayr when he found his blood brother Abu Azeez ,who was among those captured during the battle of Badr. Upon reaching Madinah, Abu 'Azeez was lodged with Abu Yusr Alansari, and Musab ibn Umayr said to Abu Yusr: "Treat him harshly, for his mother is a wealthy woman." Abu Azeez said: "Brother is it for you to give this counsel?" "You are not my brother," replied Musab, "my brother is the one who is tying up your hands." (Ibn Hisham)

Sadly, one of the issues facing Muslims is West life style "life in the fast lane," and due to this lifestyle, we tend to rush our dealings with one another. We should, for example, try to take a few minutes after Jumah(a prayer of Midday) and other prayers and greet our brothers next to us with Salaam, and introduce ourselves to them. We should neither be shy nor be afraid of a cold response, keeping in mind that we are only seeking the pleasure of Allah and following the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohamed Peace Be Upon Him.

The West are afraid of Islam and Muslims,have you asked yourself why ?Leave Fox and the rest Media aside.If you examine the West s fear of Islam, and tries to relate it to the reasons usually given :Muslim fundamentalism, militancy, radicalism, terrorism, totalitarianism , it is difficult, if not impossible, to justify this fear on the basis of reasons given.Why?more acts of terrorism and violent crime in the U.S., according to government statistics, are committed by non-Muslims than Muslims. And if Muslims do pose a terrorist threat to the U.S., one hears little discussion of what it is that the terrorists really want, all they want is for the West to stop interfering in their countries and be fair in dealing with the Israelpalestinian conflict.

Islamic law is based upon the Quran, examples and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, analogical deduction, consensus among the learned, and individual reasoning. When the Prophet's contemporaries heard the words islam and muslim, they understood them as denoting man's "self-surrender to God" and "one who surrenders himself to God," without limiting himself to any specific community or denomination.Marshall G. S. Hodgson, in Rethinking World History, states: "(Islam's) conscious hopes for a godly world order represent one of the most remarkable undertakings in world history and because its less self-conscious general cultural heritage is laden with human values." Muslims see the West beset with broken families, violent crime, drugs. They see a society divided by race, religion, and huge disparities in income. They long for a peaceful life in which they may provide for the basic needs of their families, and enjoy the respect due to all mankind regardless of their race, religion, position, or wealth.The Muslims that West called them Radicals or Terrorists are those who see their goals for a more just and compassionate society thwarted by a corrupt Muslim elite who pursue wealth and power regardless of the cost to their fellow human beings. They see these elites, who govern not by consensus as Islam prescribes, permitting outside powers to exploit their country while they derive few benefits, and find themselves subordinated by Western influences .

I will comment on your comment concerning Obama.

I dont know why do you Americans blame Obama for the bad times you are facing there nowadays? It s not all his fault.he has been kept busy cleaning up the economic and geopolitical mess left behind by George W. Bush. He had to go to Africa to protect America s reliable allies in Sub saharan countries because there is a flood of Chinese investment.F..o .r fur..ther inform..ation,check my hub: French Intervention in Mali:The Hidden Truths Revealed.

Muslim wars were not barbarous and Muslims didn't force people to convert in Islam.They fought only defending themselves (Crusade wars,When they abuse a Muslim in a foreign land ).If Islam was spread by sword,can you tell me

.How come More than 80% of the population of India are non-Muslims,bearing in mind that the Muslims ruled it for about a thousand years?

.Which Muslim army conquered Indonesia ?

.How come the conversion to Islam happened in the absence of any Islamic state in Malaysia?

.What makes Tony Blair `s sister-in-law ,Lauren Booth ,to convert to Islam?

My comment on( to justify why muslims do evil to one another is just repeating the obvious) is in this hub:

Cleaner 3,

What do you mean by ( I know you love him because he is sympathetic to everyonr but Americans ) Are you referring to his Islamic origin?If that what you meant by that means that all Muslims are Anti-Americans.That s not true,all Muslims love you,but they hate your foreign policy to the Middle east.How you deal with the Israel-Palestinian conflict .

I am not a fan of Liberal nor Democratic party.I love peace and I call for world coexistence.My opinion about Obama is here ,you can check this link below:

https://james-wolve.hubpages.com/question/206637/n...

Why till now ,after 2 years ,Obama thinks to move to save Syrians?why after 100 000 people killed ?and in Iran it wasnt that horrible like in Syria and something funny just got in my mind:It seems USA moves to save people till the death poll reaches 100 000.If Iran death poll reached that level in that time.I think USA would act to save the Iranians

Micky Dee and Michael,

(Dee)What do you mean by :And a butterfly flapped its wing

Religion was never against man,but man was against man.All religions are about peace Religion is not the problem in itself, the people who misinterpret religion is the problem. To be completely morally correct one must follow the laws of God. He has commanded us a way of living that we cannot bypass. One can live a moral life to the best of their abilities, but without giving God his due rights and living in the way that HE has prescribed, one has not lived in the way he was created to. What is morally correct to one may not be morally correct to another. We live in a time where everything is permissible. Most do not live by Gods laws, many live by their own laws! You have some people who deny the existence of God altogether but they would consider themselves good, upright, and moral people. Why? Because they give to the poor, do not hurt peopl and they feed the animals? You have Christians who do not follow the laws that Jesus(peace be upon him)himself came with. Just as you have Muslims and Jews who do the opposite of what was commanded. God/Allah did not create us to dwell on this earth without giving us exact instructions on how to live on earth. Throughout time God has told Man again and again worship me alone, and do not set up partners with me. One may not believe this to be the truth and go on to be the best person that they are able to be on this earth, but that does not negate any of what God has commanded us to do or to stay away from. Nor does it mean that we can worship whoever and how we please. There is no real moral life without proper knowledge of the creator and following his commandments.

Micky Dee,

“Indeed, We have sent a messenger to every nation (saying), ‘Worship God and avoid false gods...’” (Quran 16:36),,,,

But as time passed the message got corrupted and humans started worshiping False Gods.,.,.So again the message was sent through new Messenger,,, so Allah says :

“Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea because of what the hands of people have earned.” (Quran 30:41)

“Then woe to those who write the book with their own hands and then say: ‘This is from God’, to traffic with it for a miserable price. Woe to them for what their hands do write and for the gain they make thereby.” (Quran 2:79)

“And when there came to them a messenger from God, Confirming what was with them, a party of the people of the book threw away the book of God behind their backs as if (it had been something) they did not know.” (Quran 2:101)

“Have you not seen the one who takes his desires as his god?...” (Quran 45:23)
