Why ISIS Threat is a Problem of Muslim Leadership: Alan Henning beheading

Alan Henning_Iraq conflictIt was a sad day when pure evil took a good kind man who’s only mistake was to think he should help those in need.

A video was released by Islamic State militants that shows the beheading of British hostage Alan Henning, Alan was delivering aid to Syria in December when he was kidnapped then held hostage by IS.
It takes a serious piece of evil to have the stomach to cut an innocent mans head off.
A large section on Muslims has denounce the beheading and the terrorism, violence  in the name of Islam. most common response is  ‘they don’t represent me’ and Islam does not support killing.

This might sounds valid on the surface but merely being unsupportive of jihadism does not prevent the jihadism from growing, statements such ‘they don’t represent me’ is as good as saying ‘this is none of my business because I don’t agree with them’ many Muslims are in fact refusing to take ownership of the problem.

Why don’t we see massive large vocal protests on streets by Muslim community, Muslim nations building an action agenda against Islamic state  and war on terror, rather than having Western countries do it. Why this quiet “watch from distance” attitude?

Where is the Muslim leadership? How much longer will you stand by following others instead of taking lead?  long-term solutions are necessary to protect not only the true message of Islam but also the world we live in.

It’s essential for the silent Middle East Muslims to support the struggle of Western leaders, We can only beat Islamic State with Muslim support.

The solution needs to come from within Muslim community.

Welcome 2013: got robbed on last day of the year

Well, this is the first chance I’ve had to post about this, because my Laptop were stolen and so I haven’t been able to write about it.

I was in Glasgow, Scotland for New year, and was staying at Ross’s house. on 31st Dec we  all went out for lunch in the afternoon and came back to find his neighbours and his apartment was broken into and almost everything was robbed. I lost my Macbook Pro (with all recent work done) my HTC sensation smart phone, my friend lost his brand new Canon 5D Mk3 DSLR camera that he just bought last week after saving for almost a year and many other electronic stuff including most his backup harddrive with all the work over the years.

Obviously, whoever did this had kept watch on the house because were out for only 2 hrs and they did this in the afternoon.

I’m trying to be upbeat about it, as we cant really do anything about it now but learn a good lesson about why insurance is very important.

I feel really bad for Ross, they also took Amands’s bag with her bank card and they also tried to ring the bank and impersonate bank as her so they could access the card.

I have decided now to not think too-much about and start the new year with a fresh and much secure approach as 2012 is past and 2013 is just ahead.

While 2012 was productive, I am looking forward to a much more productive 2013. Wishing all an incredibly positive 2013! . I hope the universe makes some of your dreams come true this year, and that you’re successful in overcoming some of your own challenges.

This new years evening  has been shocking, but I can find some positives to these negative situation.

I wish everyone  A Healthy, Happy, Safe, Peaceful, Productive, Creative, and Prosperous New Year 2013
