Wake up!

I had once vowed not to write in anger.

But today, I will.

This morning I woke up to the news that the Freedom Flotilla humanitarian aid to Gaza had been attacked (read here). I can feel the anger bubbling within me when I read the news. It is anger so pure I doubt it can be tamed with a day of cooling off. I am so angry I can't stop crying.

And now, my anger is coupled with a horrible ache i feel deep within my chest. It is as if my heart is breaking with each piece of news i read. But this pained anger i feel is probably only a tenth of the pain my brothers and sisters in Palestine must be suffering each day of their lives.

Argh. The Zionist regime is an evil of magnanimous proportions. They are killing innocent people (aid workers, activists, etc) with the single motive of starving and killing other innocent people (the residents of Gaza). I can't even think of them as human. To me they are nothing more but animals. No wait, they are worse than animals. They are beings with no heart or conscience. They are filth so dirty that even thinking of them makes me want to shower 12 times a day. Ergh!




O Allah, 
Please alleviate the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in Palestine,
Give the highest ranks in the gardens of paradise to our Muslim martyrs,
And give strength and patience and hope to their widows, orphans, mothers and fathers.


O Allah, 
We have no power or strength except with You,
So aid us with aid from You,
And grant us victory over the unbelieving people.
