Edit: Until I figure out this youtube embedding thing, you may find the videoclip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5-4Kes8kws

Unfortunately, some would still be blind to the absolute absurdity of “statements” spewed by their governments.

This might get as many fwds as the Galloway clip. That was seriously SPAMMED!

“The turtle-dove sings its lament at dawn, and weeps.
My tears disturb her sleep and her tears disturb mine.
When she and I complain, we understand not each other.
But I know her grief and she knows mine.”

Abul-Hasan an-Nuri.

And then there was mine…

My grief has overcome
My heart has become
All of me
Is empty

My grief has overcome
Me, I have succumbed
Circumstances
Circumambulate for answers.

My grief has overcome
My life, its sum
Adds up
All usurped

My grief has overcome
My grief, twice numb
Time to wait
Feelings evade

My grief has overcome
My voice is dumb
Founded by grief
Left to bereave

My grief has overcome
When will the saviour come
Or will the devil hitherto disguised
To savour my heart’s demise

- Om Wareke

I’m sorry if the image disturbs you. But where does my sorrow stop and theirs begin?I wish I could write an eloquent and poignant post regarding the issue at hand. But I truly believe that two words should suffice: Please help.

While you may weep at the pictures of dead children, please remember that there’re many others suffering, displaced and wounded that you’re still able to help.

For those of you without access to a local Islamic centre/masjid that is doing a collection for the Lebanese victims, you may donate online or by telephone via Islamic Relief Worldwide.

Even the smallest contribution matters as collectively, it becomes of significant help, insha Allah. May Allah reward you greatly.

If I were to look at all at the benefits of rhetoric at this point, it would be one of outreach - a great opportunity for da’wah. So that’s another way you can help.

To top it off, make much du’a… and believe sincerely that Allah will respond to it. It may be different to the desired outcome but the Help will be there. Keep up the faith.

PS. If any of you find any *good* site wholly dedicated to the war, please post it. Thank you.
