RE: A true Spiritual warrior does not attack the bully, but instead helps strengthen the vulnerable and dependent!
I wanted to say the same words.... I am one of the most opposed people to the Saudi government (I am not a Saudi) because the Saudi government uses Islam to spread hatred and war in the world (Yemen-Syria-Iraq-Libya-Afghanistan...) And now its goal is Lebanon and Qatar... But the message of Muhammad is: peace for all... When we read the life of the Prophet Muhammad we will find that he refused to do much.. Often he waived his rights for peace... Even the word Islam means peace in Arabic language...
Islam is ordered to fight only in case of self-defence. On condition that your enemy doesn't want peace...
Quran surah Al Anfal 61 (QS 8: 61) in arabic and english translation
(8:61) But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Hard to translate Arabic language literally... But it is clear from this that the Quran required the Muslim to go to peace. Unconditionally
there are a lot of idiots in the Muslim world who don't understand religion well. And they hear stupid clerics like them...
It is not just limited to the Muslim world. Every religion on the planet has been manipulated for those who engage in greed, violence and other covert & overt agendas. It is up to each individual to work through it all and that is why I would rather get to know the individual than have preconceived notions based on citizenship, religion, color, language, etc. It is tough as the governments and religions for thousands of years have been used for control, judgements and war. The individual must work past these bias and tendencies.
Well the point you raised regarding Saudi Arabia and other neighbor countries I think that is part of International politics and they are using Religion just to become superpower. I am not against any sect or religion of the world but i am against the Extremist Side of the religion in fact of any religion in the world.
Sir Karl Marx said,
How we can minus it from the life of the people yes it's misuse always make the people shattered & disturbed. Misuse of Religion & politics are the 2 biggest factors which can ruin the Peace in no time @wwf @yagoub
In my view it is only a tool to justify what is in the hearts of those who use that tool. If it is not religion or politics it will be something else. So rather than focusing on the tools, how about we focus on the hearts of men? That would require that we get real with ourselves and be blunt regarding our behaviours and feelings that spawn those behaviours. What is disturbed is that most people are hurting and don't know how to heal or are not even aware that they are hurting. Consciousness of how we are feeling so that we can connect with spirit and HEAL is of primary importance. But most people use distractions to avoid the process because it hurts too much.
Ultimately it is all about human heart and i do agree with you @wwf on this factor.
Healing is of two types in my opinion Physically & Spiritually as well.
Both work immensely as human nature appreciates Love and Peace.
Agreed. Except I would expand the healing to be physical, emotional, mental and spiritual!
Yes Indeed, True
