Empower ourselves at par with the west..

Double standards, hegemony, hypocrisy, suppression.

These are the traits of humans.

Always a stronger entity (except God) will use these against weaker entities.

This is the way humans behave.

What we (weaker entities) have to do is to be become as stronger as we can.
e.g. US treated India with double standards for decades. Recently there is a shift in thei r policy.

I will want to tell my brothers that this is the norm of the world.

What we have to do ? We dont have to kill anyone. We dont have blow up a place. We dont have to curse west.

We have to empower ourselves at par with the west. Economically, scientifically.

I am scared.. for this world

I condemn the tasteless and dis-respectful cartoons published by Europian news papers. However the way global protests are being carried out to these cartoons terrifies me.

Shocking thing is, most of these images are from Europe itself. I can not imagine about the protests in muslim countries.

Somebody who has tarnished the prophet has to be killed, slayed, beheaded, extreminated, masaccared. Europe has to pay with their 9/11. Europe has to pay with another 7/7.

I wonder where werre these millions of protestors when -

1. Terrorists killed thousands of people on 9/11.
2. US bombed a marriage hall in afganisthan and killed many civilians.
3. Terrorists killed hundreds on 7/7.
(Other such events).
4. When (supposedly) a state government was involved in mass riots.

Does killing of innocents is a lesser crime than tarinishing a prophet ?

Do they really mean what is written on those placards ?

Should tarnishing the prophet be paid back with violence all over ?

If such things can arise out of a cartoon, what would be the situation if say more serious things happen against the faith of Muslim people ?

Would that start world war 3 ?

No one

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
