I AM A MUSLIM

this is my fellow MUSLIM, dead.

i, once again, found the urge to blog, the urge to speak my dignity out, this time. long have i stayed passive in the cyber world watching people who MAKE me want to laugh at hypocrisy so much.

saints, venerables and more good samaritans, are they still existent? yes, they do. they do, in the hearts of those who perge their soul instead of latching things in. passive people are not always the nice guys, they, who stay undecided are still instruments of prolonged violence. for if only they'd stick to peace advocates firmly, will there be a more powerful antidote against the poisonous world there lies.

I am a Muslim and it affects me. I am a Muslim and it hurts me. i've never put other religion in vain just because a few of their race are barbaric or whatsoever. i've never generalized and jumped into conclusion because i know how it'll turn out to be the dumbness in me. I am a Muslim and i went to a Catholic school. Christian Living Education was part of my 8 years stay in that school, and i am not regretful of that experience. I have studied the beliefs and trends of a Roman Catholic, what similiarities and differences it has with my religion, ISLAM. I also had a background of the rest of the religions, because just like my kind, the Catholics do study other religion in order to be able to respect and build rapport with them, to refrain from offending them and the like.

My dear brothers and sisters, inspite of the different religions we have, i believe that we are taught to respect, accept and not generalize mankind. i believe we, in our respective religions, were never asked by our leaders to be racists.

I know i couldn't fix, any less, the damage that has been done to the nation of Maguindanao. I could not cast a spell in order for people to forget the trauma, and much more, i could not bring back the life that was taken, but then again, that's not a reason for people to count me in as part of that barbaric deed. yes, me. I am a MUSLIM and they hurt me everytime they generalize or call my religion a fag!

and think about this. about 78% of the Maguindanao population comprises of Muslim people, and most of them died. now tell me how these innocent Muslim lives are barbaric everytime you generalize?

why can't these people understand that what had happened to the state of Maguindanao is not a race issue? it's a POLITICAL ISSUE, damn, you lot!

i can no longer be silent when you say "FUCK YOU MUSLIMS, FUCK YOU ALLAH!" I can no longer sleep at night without my inside raging and my outside laughing at the statements "you MUSLIMS, YOU'RE DUMB! OH AND YOU ALREADY LEARNED HOW TO USE FACEBOOK, WOW! YOU KNOW NOTHING BUT TO MAKE YOURSELVES RICH AND GO OUT!"

I am not dumb, is that enough? i am here, using a high form of conversation, writing, to defend my kind. does that prove how much not ALL MUSLIMS are what you think they are? is it not enough that i am a MUSLIM but i adapt to the modernity of today? or is it not all the more enough that i didn't go to your house and kill you? IS IT NOT ENOUGH THAT I STILL HAD PITY ON YOUR DIRTY DIGNITY AND DID NOT NAME YOU HERE?

this goes to you, who think lowly of MUSLIMS.

I AM A MUSLIM, AND MUSLIM MEANS PEACE. I AM A MUSLIM AND I STILL WANT PEACE.
