George Galloway’s Speech

Viva Palestina reaches its goal to Gaza in a convoy bringing aids like wheelchairs that would not be available to the needy there after the onslaught of Israel on Gaza. It is particularly of importance to note what he said about Tony Blair, a non-representative of Britain but the people are, this group after their perilous journeyare. He ends with the slogan, ‘We are all Palesatinians…’

Another very significant fact remains that BBC said not a word about this great achievement as many believe it is ZBC!

Divestment, Universities, Education

How Palestinians and University Students in Gaza are barred from pursuing education a birthright of any human being. But students from western world are voicing their opinion and participating in Divestment Campaign against Israel. The second link given is a cry out of a student not allowed out by an Arab state of Egypt which shamefully is building an iron wall for Israel to prevent people from Gaza to leave or get humanitarian needs as they did for the convoy of vivapalestina recently to mark one year of onslaught on Gaza condemned by United Nations in the Report by acclaimed Richard Goldstone.

The Esoteric dimension in the Faith of Islam

I have copied my comments I made in the following article:

http://simerg.com/literary-readings/literary-reading-in-ismaili-ginanic-literature-prophet-muhammad-is-symbol-of-moon-light-a-mercy-to-all-nations-and-intercessor/#comment-2787

This article gives us an insight as to how in the sub-continent of India, in this context Gujarat, Pirs came using the skill of Social Anthropologists of today, of living and becoming participant observers of the society that they selected for their study! They came to spread the new religious fervour or philosophy of Islam as their mission. Firstly, even though they came from Farsi-speaking Sehentardip the Persian peninsula, into Jampudip India, they learnt the language and used the existing tool of poetry sung in the form of Garbi and large volumes like Salokos as cited in this article. The society was submerged in the shadow of ignorance and in the complexity of ancient Hinduism. They emphasised the light of Islam spreading ‘taweel’ or the essence, not ‘tanzil’ or dogmatic and traditional practice of this great world religion of Peace and Submission to Allah. Sunna is of less importance in the esoteric form of Islam that Ismailis follow.

We see the scattered imams with a small ‘i’ in the world of today, who distort and pick out ‘jihad’ as the main theme of revenge rather than that of ‘jihade kabir’ the inner cleansing of one’s soul, the most important asset of Islam! The ascetic Pirs introduced Prophet’s and Hazrat Imam Ali’s teaching without crowing themselves as pious to be obeyed, revered or worshipped. They made the populace look up to the creator, the Noor, the Light of Allah taught to mankind via the Prophet of Islam. Please forgive my shortcomings in this comment!

Yet, it does not admit its war crimes in spite of UN Report!

This world is doomed with nukes that silly states install and think they are invincible to destruction. The most guilty states are those who either pretend they don’t have them like Israel and other big and small states. Do you want names? You are naive then.

These are for those who have ears but do not hear, eyes but do not see! For Governments who rule citizens of this world with their brutality, for Foreign Offices who have some demons for decision-makers. Need I say more???
