When are we as a people going to stop hurting & killing one another, for things that we've not done wrong?!!! When are we going to stop hurting one another, over things which we have no control over?!!! Why must a person be oppressed, just because of the color of their skin, the family they born into, what ethnic group they belong to, or the part of the world that they come from? Have we really become that savage & barbaric, that we have to treat one another like we're predator & prey, in the animal-kingdom? Have we really devalued the preciousness of the Humanity of others, to this great extent, that they don't even have the right to live, because of genetic features that Allah has chosen to create them with, without their consent?!!!
These are all questions that I've been thinking about, during the past two weeks, concerning the recent deaths, more accurately, the murders, of Trayvon Martin, of Orlando, Fl & Shaima Alawadi, of El Cajon, Ca. These people were the obvious victims of blatant xenophobic bias & discrimination. Yet, little to nothing is being substantially done about either case. Imean, take Trayvon Martin's murderer, George Zimmerman, for example: His killer hasn't even been arrested, or even brought in for questioning yet-He's allowed to walk around, as free as a bird, while he's directly responsible for the death of a Human being, without any valid cause.
And, in the case of Shaima Alawadi, there was a note left near her body, which stated "Go back home", indicating that not only was she brutally murdered by someone that she new personally, or was familiar with, but, this person had targeted her, exclusively because she was not an American citizen at birth.
We have truly sunk so low as a society: Human-life, like all life, is priceless; however, we've wrongly placed a price-tag on it, and whoever we deem as not as Humanly valuable as others are labelled as expendable. But, who in the hell gave us the right, or justification, to decide whose life is more or most valuable? We must, as a Human family, as a global society, as a people, really reevaluate what our core-values are. And, honestly, values without morals, are like flames without heat. And, morals without divine-direction are like a volcanoes which are dormant.

Sometimes, I wonder what type of world am I going to leave behind for any children that I may have. More accurately, I don't even want to raise children, in a world, where they can be hunted down like they're in-season, like they're a duck or whale, just because they are Muslim, or Black, or from a major-city, from an urbanized neighborhood. It's truly depressing that we have our following generations, whom will succeed us in this Mundane-Life, have to inherit this. This world, that we're leaving behind to them, is full of our innumerable fuck-ups & errors. We've destroyed whole civilizations of people, national-infrastructures, indigenous ways of life, the air-quality, the environment generally, the natural habitats of wild-life, etc.
What we have evolved into, spiritually, mentally, and socially, are monsters, and this is not what Allah, our Creator, has placed us into existence for. He didn’t make us to inhabit the Earth to destroy it, and consequently destroy ourselves in the process. He didn’t make us to wage war upon one another, just because of skin color, ethnicity, social, or political status. He didn’t make us to be of those whom are strong to prey upon the weak, just as the wolf preys upon the lamb. It's like all of us have turned into the real-life versions of Anakin Skywalker, in Episode 3, when he officially turned to the Darkside, and began to manifest his insatiable thirst for bloodshed & destruction. But, instead of the title being "Revenge of the Sith", it's "Revenge of Savagery". When is our real-life Episode 6 going to come out? Instead of "Return of the Jedi", we need our episode to be named "Return of Humanity".
