No War For Izrael

[laian]

SubhanAllah, it's amazing how many soldiers convert to Islam after they have been in the middle east. InshaAllah I hope my brother will be one of them.


Those pictures are indeed sad. Although I do not agree with what the u.s. military is doing collectively, I have great respect for the soldiers as individuals. I know several of them personally, among them my brother, his friends, a few cousins, and some I went to school with. I know all of them to be good, caring, compassionate people. I also know that war has many adverse affects not only on the body, but also the mind.


I can never know for sure what the u.s. military teaches its soldiers, but I do know what my brother described to me of his training regarding the people and culture of Iraq. I was quite pleased with what he told me. They seemed to put great emphasis on respect and peace. I wrote about this in more detail in this post: http://www.islamsms.com/bb/index.php?s...t=0entry15782


I pray for my brother's safe return home.


I pray that he will find a good impression of Islam and inshaAllah one day take shahada.


I pray for the safety of everyone in Iraq and the middle east, both muslim and non-muslim.


Ameen.


Please join me in these prayers, inshaAllah.


JazakAllah khair
