7/7: The Devil’s Day

Assalam Alaikum wa rahmat Allah.
Peace be upon you dear visitor.

How can you label the 7^th of July 2005 other than the day where devil setup his black parties? Two bloody acts occurred in this day: 7/7 London bombings in the United Kingdom plus assassinating Mr. Ihab Al-Sherif our Egyptian Ambassador in Iraq. Hereby, I cannot find another expression; hence this blog entry tries to issue an analytic criticism for what happened yesterday!

Calls from Satan

It seems like a series of calls to his human agents were done by Satan the day before yesterday or even older in order to prepare for this. Indeed, I am aware that it is not about oversimplifying of evil versus good yet I cannot prevent myself from recalling this imaginary picture to my memory where the devil sends death orders to carry out these these doomed actions!

1. London Bombing

The 7/7 devil’s day started with news reporting a series of suicidal attacks on London’s transportation system where innocent victims have fallen down either injured or killed for no particular reason except that extremists decided to use their evil power.

7/7 London Bombings

Firstly, let me place my condolence and share my sympathy with the families of both injured and killed human beings. I understand how horrible they felt because we in Egypt had suffered from terrorism during the whole decade of the 1990s of the past 20^th century while the world was watching because radical terrorists were not in the focus of lights yet at this time.

Secondly, I am not that much surprised about the linking with radical terrorists like “al-Qaeda” or others who follow their ideology because they are nothing but group of terrorists packed together who have illusions about their “blessed raids” that are actually nothing but damned actions indeed.

Thirdly, needless to repeat myself that Islam is much greater than words to defend; however what is being committed under its umbrella by those radical extremists is what we, Muslims and non-Muslims, are called stand up against terrorism because there acts are nothing but another scene of the scary movie of Islamophobia plus ugly terrorism worldwide.

For that matter, what happened in the devil’s day means we it is time to start highlighting on the sharp edge that clearly separates terrorism committed by radical terrorists from what Islam is because they cannot meet under the same umbrella. Hence, these attacks are as evil as anyone can imagine, yet they reveal some basic tactics used by radical terrorists to serve their purpose:

1. the manipulation of Islam and Islamic knowledge;
2. the oversimplifying for events and history.

In other simple yet direct words, I consider terrorists as people with black and closed mentalities that had failed to understand the light of faith, or better say the light of The Almighty Allah (swt) – GOD – because they went far away from the basic fact that Islam encourages urbanizing Earth and go through their irrational acts which is their own problem not Islam and this should be clear while dealing with them.

Ihab Al-Sherif (Egyptian Ambassador)

2. Ihab Al-Sherif

On the other hand, the 7/7 devil’s day also carried the sad news about the horrible assassination of Ihab al-Sherif, our Egyptian Ambassador to Iraq, who was kidnapped five days ago on the 3^rd of July in Baghdad.

I can feel the pain of his family as they lost him for no reason except the evil power of those terrorists. I am aware that everybody shall leave this life under the will of Almighty Allah (swt) yet I am talking about the circumstances themselves.

I shall not wonder about how some radical terrorists forget that we are not Almighty Allah (swt) to judge others, because their mentalities have no room for such basic facts, and in the hereafter, Allah shall judge everybody not us.

Finally, let me emphasize again that terrorism has no religion or race; it is all about the ugly face of some sick and miserable human creatures as I explained up. For me, I wonder how we can call them ‘human creatures’ because they seems nothing but devil’s agents as elaborated.

Indeed! I felt sorry for all the people who killed or injured, and felt sorry for all those innocent victims who have fallen down every where; however I am definitely sure that since one of Allah names is “Al-Adl” which literally means (“The Just” or “The Equitable”), therefore Allah shall judge everyone in the hereafter according to what he (and she) had presented during our life on planet Earth!

Update: here is another post that lists links for statements about Muslims Reaction to 7/7 London Bombings that are issued by some UK-based Muslim Organizations.

Salam,
Hicham
