Human being's are always trying to WIN the war by fighting, they forget that they loose the battle, as soon as they strike, they loose the battle of being human. Yes our reptalian / limbic brain forces us to bring back our fighting instinct, but today we do not have to do that, as we can be beyond it, and thus we shall NOT strike. Here is a little something I was given, and I am sharing with you, I dedicate this to #Ukraine which is at the brink of war, and war brings nothing but missery to all sides. I Surrender I surrender , I will not fight I surrender , I will not strike I refuse to live in fear, I refuse to live in chains, I refuse to be called to a war , that causes nothing but pain I surrender, that I was bron free, and shall remain free I surrender, that there is no way you can take away my soul, You can use a bike, a tank or a plane You can use a knife, a bullet or a bomb You can Hurt my body, you can scare my body, you can torture me You can kill me, but you can not kill my soul, which is free, was free, and will remain free I surrender, for I am human, not an animal who need’s to fight, who needs to show his ego, and the dance of victory based on how many he killed I surrender , I will not fight I surrender, that i will not strike , thus I win :) Rehan Allahwala

“Why We Fast: The Beginning of a Dialogue” Imam Sohaib Sultan, Muslim Life Coordinator and Chaplain at Princeton University, and his co-host Rabbi Moshe Silver invite you to a Muslim / Jewish shared day of fasting on Tuesday, 15 July, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Murray-Dodge Hall on the Princeton campus. Tuesday is the seventeenth day of the Muslim month of Ramadan, when dawn to dusk fasting is observed for the entire month. It is also the seventeenth day of the Jewish month of Tammuz, a day-long fast in the Jewish religious calendar. The Imam and the Rabbi will each speak briefly on the significance of the fast day from the Islamic and Jewish perspectives. Participants will be invited to share their own observations and feelings. Imam Sultan and Rabbi Silver have chosen this shared fast day in response to the tragic situation unfolding in the part of the world where we all first received the Word of God. Following the call of Israeli poet Eliaz Cohen, we offer this brief encounter as a communal Hunger Strike Against Violence. It is our shared hope and fervent prayer that, God willing, the good will of people who strive to follow God’s will can vanquish the hatred of those who are convinced that God speaks only to them.

Firing 300 rockets on Tel aviv ? No it wasnt from Islamic point view niether from humanity point of view. Yeah i am also saying Israel should not strike like this. It is against humanity but they are doing it in selfdefense. If you people are standing for 200 people of Palestine then what about Iraq ? Syria ? Lebnon ? Pakistan ? What then ? Iraq have 170 + daily death avrage and that is because of muslim we are doing it ? Why people are silent i just wanted to ask you and think about it.

Aoa rehan bhai Please Share this on your wall. READ: Malala’s statement on the Gaza-Israel conflict, calling for restraint and peace. "I am deeply saddened and heartbroken by the bloodshed in the ongoing Gaza-Israel conflict which has led to the death of more than 260 Palestinians and 2 Israelis. Most of those killed and injured have been innocent civilians, with at least 59 Palestinian children killed. Four young boys simply playing hide and seek were killed in Gaza yesterday by an Israeli strike. We must join together to condemn all violence, especially violence against innocent civilians and children. I myself have suffered from the devastating violence of war and conflict in Swat valley, my beautiful hometown in Pakistan, where more than 400 schools were destroyed, education for girls was banned and many people were killed. Today children in Gaza are suffering through similar trauma from conflict. We all should stand up for peace. I call upon the international community to immediately broker a cease-fire between Gaza and Israel. The violence must stop now. I call upon Israel and Hamas to lay down their arms. Let us respect each other's religious beliefs and live together in peace, which is the message of all religions. I urge all parties involved to move forward with a peace process that ensures the dignity and prosperity of all people, without violence and terrorism." -Malala Yousafzai

The millatry industrial complex :( WORLD NEWS Pakistani Leader Sharif Nears Pact With Military Army Presses Sharif to Relinquish Control of Security Affairs, Foreign Policy ISLAMABAD—The Pakistani military is close to an agreement with the government in which the prime minister would relinquish control of security affairs and strategic foreign policy, government officials said, amid antigovernment protests that have paralyzed the capital. A nearly two-week confrontation between the administration and demonstrators, which the government believes are backed by the military, has put Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif under pressure. Government aides said the military has seized on Mr. Sharif's weakened status during the political crisis to strike a deal in which he would leave strategic policy areas—including relations with the U.S., Afghanistan and India—to be controlled by the armed forces. The military is now seeking guarantees from the prime minister that he will follow through on the agreement, the aides said. Spokesmen for Mr. Sharif and several government ministries didn't return calls seeking comment. A Pakistani military spokesman didn't respond to requests to comment. Since winning an outright majority in Parliament 16 months ago, Mr. Sharif has angered the military establishment with efforts to assert civilian control of the armed forces and decide on policies that were traditionally the domain of the military. The deal with the military would sharply curtail Mr. Sharif's powers, and cast doubt on his ability to make peace with Pakistan's rival, India, a top priority for the prime minister. "If Nawaz Sharif survives, for the rest of his term, he will be a ceremonial prime minister—the world will not take him seriously," said Ayesha Siddiqa, an analyst based in Islamabad. "A soft coup has already taken place. The question is whether it will harden." Thousands of protesters arrived on Aug. 15 in Islamabad, led by Imran Khan, a politician and former cricket star, and Muslim cleric Tahir ul Qadri, demanding the prime minister's resignation. The activists have slept on the streets of the capital since, protesters moving last week in front of the Parliament. The armed forces have run Pakistan for half its 67-year history, including a 1999 coup led by then-army chief Pervez Musharraf, which ended Mr. Sharif's last stint as prime minister. Even when not formally in power, the military has traditionally run foreign and internal security policies. Government aides said the military has extracted a promise of freedom for Mr. Musharraf, who is being prosecuted by Mr. Sharif's government for treason. That charge, related to Mr. Musharraf's military rule following the 1999 coup, is another major source of tension between the administration and the armed forces. Mr. Musharraf denies the treason charge. According to political and security officials, Mr. Sharif's government had secretly agreed to let Mr. Musharraf go abroad after a symbolic indictment over treason, which took place in March, but the government went back on the deal. That eroded trust between the military and Mr. Sharif. Government aides said the administration was also willing to let the prime minister's brother, Shahbaz Sharif, step down as chief minister of Punjab province, the country's most heavily populated region. Democracy was restored in Pakistan in 2008, when a government led by Asif Zardari of the Pakistan Peoples Party was elected and ruled until last year's elections. Mr. Zardari's government, a weak coalition, had also in its early days tried to push its own foreign and security policies, but it was soon beaten back. "Nawaz Sharif thought that he was no Asif Zardari," said Murtaza Solangi, an analyst who had served as head of Radio Pakistan, the state broadcaster, under the Zardari government. "But the military decided that they'll make him an Asif Zardari." Mr. Sharif's election victory had also raised hopes of a shift in policy toward Afghanistan and India. Mr. Sharif offered India a trade liberalization deal, and pledged to Kabul that he would end Pakistan's interference in Afghanistan. But Mr. Sharif's stated aim of making peace with India and the pace at which he started to pursue this goal—seen in Washington as a historic opportunity— riled the military establishment. Mr. Sharif's policy of holding extended peace talks with Pakistani Taliban militants held up the army's plans for an operation against them, sowing further misgivings about the government. A government aide said that the personal political ambitions of the protest leaders had been encouraged by a military that wanted to "cut Nawaz Sharif down to size." "The script was never to topple the government but weaken it to the point where it was just left hanging, unable to move," said the aide. Mr. Khan has called for a government of "technocrats" to be brought in now, but denied that he is acting on behalf of the military. "I'm doing this for Pakistan, not for myself," Mr. Khan told supporters in a speech Wednesday. "To save our democracy, I'm not going from here without Nawaz Sharif's resignation." Washington last week put out a statement of support for the administration, saying: "We support the constitutional and electoral process in Pakistan, which produced the Prime Minister of Nawaz Sharif."

What is a cost of a drone strike.. ? Need proof of references for cost for an article

Floris Koot says I heard an interesting story about this. How the meaning of words change over time. Where once a word (I think in the Arab Koran) meant to 'take a distance' like making a stop sign with your hand, apparently the same word began to mean push away, which now means to beat, or hit. Thus the suggestion to take a distance from a wife (when you're irritated) is now allowance to strike. I see in my own life time this word changing happening a lot. A new Disney is already a Classic. Gay is not so much happy anymore. Sick is among American kids what once was cool and cool once was cold rather than hip. Perhaps to truly understand the holy books, we might also need to research the original meaning of words, rather than modern blindly accept modern interpretations.

Hey there Rehan, salams to you. Just wanted to update you on my friend from Yemen. His family is still in Sana'a, and he has joined the army, as he felt was his duty. He is earning a small amount as a soldier, so his family is still struggling. But at least they are still in their home and haven't been hit by the airstrikes, which is more than a lot of families there can say. Last month I put the family in touch someone in Sana'a who was able to donate a good supply of food to them (he is supporting 13 relatives) so they are a bit more food secure. This was through the efforts of Aisha Jumaan in Seattle, who is working hard to educate Americans about the war in her country, and who is working to get aid to struggling Yemenis. She recommends donating to Noor.org in case anyone asks you about good aid agencies there. She says 100% of donations collected go to Yemenis for food, water and medical aid.

Couldn't stop myself from forwarding this Excellent message .. A bus full of passengers was traveling while. suddenly the weather changed and there was a huge downpour and lightening all around. They could see that the lightening would appear to come towards the bus and then go elsewhere. After 2 or 3 horrible instances of being saved from lightening, the driver stopped the bus about fifty feet away from a tree and said - "We have somebody in the bus whose death is a certainty today." Because of that person everybody else will also get killed today. Now listen carefully what I am saying .. I want each person to come out of bus one by one and touch the tree trunk and come back. Whom so ever death is certain will get caught up by the lightening and will die & everybody else will be saved". They had to force the 1st person to go and touch the tree and come back. He reluctantly got down from the bus and went and touched the tree. His heart leaped with joy when nothing happened and he was still alive. This continued for rest of the passengers who were all relieved when they touched the tree and nothing happened. When the last passenger's turn came, everybody looked at him with accusing eyes. That passenger was very afraid and reluctant since he was the only one left. Everybody forced him to get down and go and touch the tree. With a 100% fear of death in mind, the last passenger walked to the tree and touched it. There was a huge sound of thunder and the lightening came down and hit the bus - yes the lightening hit the bus, and killed each and every passenger inside the bus. It was because of the presence of this last passenger that, earlier,the entire bus was safe and the lightening could not strike the bus. LIFE LEARNING from this.. At times, we try to take credit for our present achievements, but this could also be because of a person right next to us. Look around you - Probably someone is there around you, in the form of Your Parents, Your Spouse, Your Children, Your Siblings, Your friends, etc, who are saving you from harm..! Think About it.. You will surely find that Person..!! Beautiful Lines ''Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'talk'. 'Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can 'Celebrate'. 'Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'. That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other 😊Stay Connected!!

Ahimsa (Sanskrit: अहिंसा; IAST: ahimsā, Pāli: avihiṃsā) is a term meaning 'not to injure' and 'compassion'. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hiṃs – to strike; hiṃsā is injury or harm, a-hiṃsā is the opposite of this, i.e. cause no injury, do no harm. Thank you Amit Kanodia for sharing this word with me !
