We are talking about people. Human beings. In Iraq, in Palestine - TopicsExpress



          

We are talking about people. Human beings. In Iraq, in Palestine and Israel. In Egypt and Syria. Human beings are dignified. Whether Muslim, Christian, Jew, Fire-worshipper, Yezidi, Mandean, Hindu, Man, Woman, Child, Atheist, Transgender, Straight, Gay...They are dignified, just for being human. It is related in imam Maliks muwatta that Jesus would stop on the road and greet a pig with Al-salamu alaykum. When he was asked about this, he said: I do it for I do not wish to accustom my tongue with foul language. And us? We call each other with the vilest tongues. Son of this, son of that. Excrement, Waste, Infidel, Rejector, Satan-worshipper, non-human... All these words lead us to the point of de-humanising the other. And when they are no longer human, we can get rid of them. It has happened before, it is happening now. Guard your tongue and teach your children manners.
