Heartache And Pain Came Pouring Down

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father, run for your children, for your sisters and brothers..

Leave all your love and loving behind, you cant carry it with you if you want to survive.

Have we become immune?
Human beings pride themselves on being the most empathetic creatures on the planet, i ask where is this empathy when 20 million people are living in the mud and ruins of their lives, ravaged by 20 foot torrents?


Don't get me wrong, there are hundreds of people who have come to the aid of these poor people, The United Nations, private NGO's, international aid agencies...see a pattern? the same people who are forced to help, in times of a disaster!
I am not being ungrateful, not saying that people are not helping...LORD knows how much people have helped...the entire country has mobilized into a force, feuled by their 'jazbah' (fire in the heart)..

All i do is urge more and more people to feel..just feel for those who have lost EVERYTHING. i can sit here and quote statistics, post pictures of all the devastation gripping our country and update my facebook status pleading for people to come out and help..but what i really want is for people to feel..feel for all those mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.

That could/should be Us..
What would you do if it was you?
What would you like everyone else to do if you were sitting on the roof of your house crumbling and sinking under you?
What would you do if the clothes on your back were the only ones you had left?
Think about what your going to have for dinner tonight..now think about those people sitting in the dark, muddy snake infested water for as far as you can see, swatting away those mosquitos and sharing one peice of bread between their family of 6.. still thinking about your dinner tonight?!

I know iv lost my appetitie.

..And its true we are immune!
When fact is fiction and TV is reality
And Today the millions cry,
we eat and drink while tomorrow they die!

72 virgins!

This is a very very HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE topic(literally), and i would normally NEVER indulge in religious debate..but sometimes, when the situation asks, i feel keeping my mouth shut and opinions muted doesn't help anyone!
Hence...

People who are not very educated about other religions (not that i'm saying i'm educated enough about religions-let alone even mine) but those people who are completely illiterate about
different religions, make the common mistake of believing that the Holy Quran teaches its followers to strap on explosives and blow themselves along with infidels up, in order to get a ticket straight into heaven.

These followers in turn are promised/rewarded 72 black haired virgins.

Therein lies the common misconception- Both on the part of those illiterate many, and on the part of the foolish brainless muslims, who believe this absurd promise.

(for the brainless)
Firstly, in the Holy Book, the word used is 'Houri', which has alot of meanings, and can also be translated to mean Angels..(yes i did my research- im not giving out sweeping statements)
Therefore, 72 Angels will minister to the departed/Martyrs in heaven.. And NO nowhere does it say that the word minister has to have any sexual connotation!!! (one track minded world i tell you!) So basically the brainless fools who believe this..i would like to ask you..SERIOUSLY is that ALL you think about/want out of life..72 virgins? SERIOUSLY...you are willing to end your life for THAT...
ALSO id like to divert for a second to the feminist in me, and ask the questions that iv been dying to ask...what about women? Do they get 72 male-virgins? Do they get ANY virgins? Do they get Anything?

(for the illiterate many)
Secondly, terrorists/extremist organisations dedicated to trying to teach the rest of the world a lesson (but actually harboring serial killer/psychopath tendencies) indoctrinate their primarily illiterate trainees into believing that their suicide and killing of infidels will be the path to heaven.
There is no such statement in the Holy book.
Its quite the peaceful book, advocating understanding and tolerance!!!

I'm not a very religious person, and neither am i that well-read when it comes to my own religion(sadly). But i do know that NO religion intends to destroy the rest of the human race and urges murder.
i am extremely against hate/violence/murder(of any living thing-except lizards-but thats another post)
All we need is Love-seriously!
(this will probably be one of my very few posts on religion..because it HAD to be said)

..MushaBoo...do you think its kind of wrong to write BOOM after this post..hahahha
MUSHABOOM!!!
