Road-Protests for Syria?


ROAD-PROTESTS FOR SYRIA?
Today, a social-media manager sent me some pics of dead bodies in relation to massacre in Syria and also about how Pak media has been mourning over death of Indian actress yet ignoring the crisis in Syria.

I told him it was bad but one pic he sent me of a child running over dead bodies was at least 3-4 years old. He said that we are doing nothing to create awareness and he was planning to go for road-protests when he has time for that. After hearing this, below is what I wrote to him:

No need to share pics of dead bodies. Everybody knows about wars happening against Muslim countries.

The Urdu article on Syria I sent last night is detailed. Ponder on its meaning and especially what you need to do as Muslim.

No need for road protests. Protest for what? Enough dharnas and jalsas happening already. Don"t create more problems for traffic and commuters. Effective sharing on social media is reaching millions of people.

We can help more by becoming good Muslims and good human beings in our homes, offices and wherever we go. Go to mosques for regular prayers. Care for your parents. Respect the elders and teachers. Care for your environment. If you protest on road unnecessarily then you are not caring for environment.

Help the poor and needy in your area. If one is not caring for poor and needy in one's area then how can one help the Syrians? So don't be childish.

Control your ego and your anger.
