The great Bob Marley once sang: "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Ooh! Some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fulfill the book."
If a family member is killed, it hits you harder than a neighbor....just because Europe are standing up for our French neighbors, does not mean we should be subjected to accusations that we do not care for other countries. This is bad and tragic and frustrating and devastating and excruciating and painful and depressing...sad. Yet, there are so many bad things happening at the same time. What about flight MH17 last year? Innocent people were shot by a missile. 298 were killed. Nobody turned their profile into the Dutch flag. Paris, it's awful and tragic, but it's true, the media has the power and it's scary that less people think for themselves, no matter what the on-line topic is. The mainstream media is controlled by the people who need you to support their decisions to do things in parliament. The next thing on the horizon is border closures and bombing of Syria. Paris is perfect news coverage for the criminal warmongers in charge to 'justify' their next moves. Other warzones are ignored until it benefits the justification of the next decisions they make.
Meanwhile people burn, and the war criminals in charge fill their pockets from the profits that these wars make.
Seeing Facebook covered with the colors of the French flag is truly touching and my heart bleeds for all the innocent victims. But the media has done its part - depicting the situation in the favor of the manipulations. Let's get a bit of perspective here: The media has reported that more than 150 people died last Friday in the attack in Paris. Yet, there are 200 000 people in the past year alone who died of ISIS attacks. Muslims and Christians. Why has there been no outrage for this? Why didn't we change our profile pictures in the colors of the Iraq's, Syria's or Palestine's flags? Syria's death toll so far: 250 000 people, amongst who 30 000 children. 2014 Israel: 2200 Palestinians including 513 children. Use your brain and think. Ask yourself why lose our minds about 150+ French people and not even mention Iraqis, Palestinians and Syrians. ISIS death toll amounts to numbers greater than 1.5 million people. Now imagine 1.5 million people. All dead. Why?
I see all those messages 'Pray for Paris', 'Pray for Beirut', 'Pray for Baghdad'. NO! Enough praying. I won't pray. It hasn't got us anywhere. We need to stop praying and start acting. Start teaching and learning. Instead of preaching religion, preach peace. Religion is geographically determined. Peace is worldwide. Preach peace. And don't get me wrong, I respect religion. What I don't respect is terrorist attacks in the name of religion. I don't respect religious radicalism. I don't respect brainwashing media propaganda. Start educating and emancipating people. Teaching them that no matter what the religion is, what the skin color or country of origin is, we are all people.
When you call yourself a Muslim, a Christian, a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Can you see why? Because you're separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. A man who is seeking to understand and stop violence, does not belong to any country, any belief system, any tradition. They belong to one race, the human race. We have only one country, it's the earth. Everything else is a political goal and an artificial determinative for dividing people.
The great Bob Marley once sang: "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds." He's right, you know.
Preach PEACE!!!
