Why is there such uproar over the sufferings of the Yazidis, Christians, and other nonmuslim minorities in Iraq? Haven’t Muslims been going through similar (if not worse) conditions in Syria, Iraq, Gaza, and other parts of the world? Was there a similar reaction to Muslim sufferings? Were there airstrikes and military action against the Syrian Regime and Israel for attacking, killing, kidnapping, bombing, and /or raping Muslims? Did the Muslims not face starvation and siege in Syria and other parts of the world with no way to get food and medication? Was food and other necessities airdropped for the help of the Muslims in Syria, Gaza and other parts of the world where Muslims were facing (and are facing) devastating humanitarian catastrophes? Did the world speak against the suffering of the Muslims in the manner that it doing so against the suffering of the nonmuslims today? If nothing was done to relieve the suffering of the Muslims, then why is it being done for Yazidis and Christians? Do nonmuslims have more rights to a safe and peaceful life than Muslims?
Today, it is clear that the world cares more about nonmuslims than Muslims.
I don't think that is a very fair statement to make...from my point of view, the media also portrays the plight of the Gazans in the same way as the Yazidis.
Are you even serious? I mean really? Where have the media portrayed the plight of the Gazans the way they are doing with the Yazidis? Collections of little Gazan kids are being blasted into nothingess almost on a daily basis and I have not seen a single newspaper or news programme in the UK where they have portrayed the plight of these innocent humans. I have checked the newspapers on a daily basis since the Israeli genocide started and at best, they may have a tiny little paragraph which says something along the lines of "Oh dear, 25 kids got bombed in Gaza but it serves them right because Hamas threw some poncey rocket at Israel"! Now don't get me wrong, the atrocities being committed against the Yazidi adults is disgusting and sickening but for UK newspapers to have full page spreads on a daily basis of the "poor Yazidi plight" because some of them have been hanged/cut up/tortured is totally and utterly beyond me. Why can innocent Gazan children not be given the same exposure? What have they done wrong? They are not Hamas!
I think it is disgusting what is going on in Gaza and Iraq, but for crying out loud, they are all innocent humans. You can't justify media coverage based on religion which is clearly what is happening. If it's a Muslim, forget it. If it's anything else, cover it, cover it, cover it!
When I was kid I was taught that if I wanted other people respect me, at first I must respect other people. If I wanted other people treat me well, at first I must treat other people well. And then I found, it's true.
So, before we ask the other to treat us equally as other mankind, it's better if we ask ourselves, have we treated all mankind on equal terms?
True
We must learn to gorget about the sins of others. We have no control over them. We only have control over ourself.
We can not allow ourself to harm others, because some people harm us.
We as Muslims are obligated to rise above evil and set the example for good.
