I URGE the likes of Ms Choudhry to not waste her time in controversial discussions through the media in attempting to prove that Islam is superior to Christianity because each has its historic flaws.
The present is before us, to right the wrongs, and restore to society the norms of the “rule of law”.
Sadly a mother laments the death of her son, my neighbour.
He will not be home for Eid, Ramadan, and all the feasts, and gatherings, of the family, all because he was influenced to participate in a fruitless Jihad.
Jihad is a fiery movement and has drawn over 15,000 youth internationally, who will never go home alive, and result in many more mothers crying bitterly at the loss of their babies whom they nurtured into manhood.
Many of these youth came to most of these countries as either economic or political refugees and have chosen to join fanatic brigades, thus biting the hand that feeds and had sympathy for the plight of a refugee.
I urge the Islamic community’s leadership all over the world to restore a sense of direction, truly embedded in the tenets, which Mohamed enunciated as dictated by the Angel Gabriel.
From time to time any religious group needs to look into their being in step with attitudes and changes in society.
Perhaps an international forum on Islam – “where, to, in the next century”.
