In whose name do we burn down our country?

In whose name are we Pakistanis burning up our own country? Who has been insulted and disgraced so much so that we have all come out of our homes and started rioting. We have responded in a chaotic manner, which does not suit the image of Muslims, but then again the image that we have upheld for most of this decade isn’t as peaceful as the name Muslim. This was the plot, this was what the brains behind that cheap movie wanted; they wanted us to react, and not in a positive manner by boycotting their goods and products, they wanted us to raise havoc, and twist our own nation into a savage tribe of animals. Yes, that is exactly what they wanted and that is what they got. We Pakistanis are quite a handful; while the other countries held peaceful protests, we took it upon our selves to once again shame the name of Islam and Muslims all over the world and fight, and rage down roads not giving a damn about peace which is what Islam stands for; Islam means peace. Well who would have thought that the people who sworn to be the Prophets followers don’t know the meaning of their own religion.
That just brings a twist into our small story here people.
A man who was known for his patience and love and humility, that man would have been ashamed to see us fighting and burning our own parts. This is our country; it’s like our own body. Thus, rioting and screaming and burning it, is like burning our own parts. This isn’t Jihad, or a way to show our love and obedience and loyalty to the Prophet and God. This is a joke that our mediocre country men are playing.
We are no doubts puppets, dangling from strings that are being controlled by another power, a power which uses its head instead of emotions, and a power which is smart and cool and collected and knows the right buttons to push to enrage 2 billion Muslims.

You want U.S.A to pay, to react then you need to sit down and have a meeting. Not on talk shows, not in rallies. You need a meeting to decide what to say; since all Muslims are one Ummah, then they should have one statement, don’t you think? Every country besides Pakistan is protesting peacefully, their governments are cooperating with them, polices forces are with them and their people from all walks of life stand by them with humility to protest. The meaning of their protest is to show how insulted they feel, that their religion is being degraded, that their Prophet is not being given due respect.
And you know what’s happening in this part of the world, in a country called Pakistan?
Our hormonal teenage boys and our over rated Molanas are declaring war on the man, who made the movie. It would have been nicer if our own people weren’t hypocrites, if they only realized that they weren’t pleasing Muhammad or his God by doing this, I wish they could realize that the after shocks of our decisions today would reflect badly on every person who lives in this country. I wished that some people had realized that one day, when they’ll be dead; they’ll have to give answers about each and everything they did; from snatching the roof of innocent and poor, gobbling up funds for the improvement of our country, rights and laws which they did not abide by, and the money. How can we forget the large sums of money, the billions of dollars that flowed into the banks of many politicians without any hesitation? They will have to answer. We will have to answer for quoting half Verses from the Quran, and declaring true knowledge of a book about which we have no sense what so ever, no respect and no value.
Let me quote the hundreds of times when angels came to the Prophet, saying that he only had to say yes and they would send God’s torment on the tribe and destroy them. Not once did the Prophet said to destroy those people then why us? Why do we think that we have been carrying the name of Islam and have a right to rewrite Muhammad’s history and examples? We don’t! If we are his followers then we need to follow his examples; while dealing with the world, while dealing with hypocrites and all sorts of people. We need to follow the example of the man who used his brain, not his emotions to conquer the entire world. That is why he is an example, because he was never unjust, never unfair and always, always steadfast and patient.

8 Things People Learnt, in life, the hard way :-

 Life gives you the whirl of emotions. Even I, sit at times, randomly, saying if i did anything wrong to the people i met today or something like that. In the end, its all because we have learnt stuff the hard way in the past. Lets get through a few of them :-

1) Stop giving importance to someone on high alert until they show they deserve it : Life is full of surprises. We meet many people. By many people, the circle is big. Importance itself means giving someone some good priority in your life. So when we get to know someone, lets just get to know them more first, and then think on taking them on a serious note in our lives.

2) Be humane to others in general : Importance and humanity are two different things. We come across many people as said above but being humane to them is the thing every human being deserves. If you make someone smile a day, it would surely bring a laugh on their face that they weren't expecting the whole time at that point. Be nice to people. Giving them full importance is something else.

3) Past made your present. Stop moaning about it : In general i see people moaning about their past. Though we don't know what they went through and that time is the toughest but we still can make one change in ourselves and that is MOVE ON. This is the present which is right now. Past would make it more effective and worse if we would even think of remembering it.

4) Talk LESS, to everyone, if you are more social : People generally forget what they have to share when they start to meet and know many people in their lives. Everyone won't get what your emotions are like. Friends do know and keep that emotion talk to your friends. The lesser you moan  in front  of everyone, the faster you heal.

5) Priority in life : We often don't have any idea whats our priority in life. Thats why we get confused and we just screw everything up. We  definitely  should try this , it would take about five seconds, whats our priority again? Friends ? Family ? Facebook ? Religion ? Honesty ? There you go. Think on it.

6) Respect people for what they did : I mean, lets face it, as the slogan of The Social Network says, " You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies". So, despite the fact, you have grudges, show respect, even if you can't show anything else. 

7) Don't get in a relation forcefully if you don't feel like : Who doesn't want love? Who wants to stay single? But people rush in it. People rush and think that things would get better. But love happens. You can't force it to be with you. You have people with you already. Its tough. Its hard. But let love come the natural way to you, the way you deserve. Or else, its just hurt and then people moan " We got heartbroken" .

8) Last, Stop over-thinking : Yes, including me, many people over think about everything. Let just leave things the way they are for a while. Lets just not give our useful opinions to everyone, in a conversation even, because if anyone would want for our opinion, they would ask. Stop blabbering about diet. You would get into a gym and get slim one day if we really wanted to. And would ignore junk food. Stop over THINKING! Thats right. Thank Allah for who we are right now. The best part is, you're blessed that you can read this.
