What Does It Take To Live Peacefully In This World?

We have all been there and asked this question. I finally come to realize that the answer is clear and everyone has access to it.

1- You shouldn't be Muslim:

Muslims' homes are being bulldozed in India, Kashmir, the West Bank, and China. Islamophobia in India is having no limits. Indian Muslims are being attacked especially in this wholly month Ramadan. Knowing that Islam in India is the second biggest religion in India with 14.2% of the country's population- about 220 million Muslims. Unfortunately, what is happening is mainly because, twenty years after the anti-Muslim pogroms in Gujarat, "an entire generation of Hindu nationalists are now more convinced than ever that eliminating Muslims will improve their lives." In fact, there are already many news about this all over social media; one of the accounts on Instagram that covers such news is @khaledbedydoun. Khaled Beydoun is an author, law professor, and lawyer. He raised a lot of questions that show how humans are choosing to be blind and silent at the same time. One of the questions was: "Why aren't American racial and social justice leaders talking about Hindutva terror in India?" Even Muslim Women are suffering from the attacks on them practicing their religion. However, why aren't the western feminist voices speaking about the Hijab Bans in Karnataka?! their businesses are being burned and damaged by Hindus. Even if the actions weren't actively violent, there's a clear provocation for Indian Muslims. "100's of Hindutva goons carrying swords and saffron flags and dancing, during Ramadan, in front of a mosque in India." is one of the examples that Baydoun posted.

In Kashmir the story is similar. "The Kashmir conflict is a territorial conflict over the Kashmir region, primarily between India and Pakistan, with China playing a third-party role."

What about Muslims in China and especially Uyghur? During Ramadan, Chinese authorities have enforced the practice of force-feeding Uyghur Muslims pork and alcohol- outside and inside the prison camp. In the late summer of 2018, at least one million Muslim Uyghurs have been detained in “counter-extremism centres” in China’s Xinjiang province, "thrusting the treatment of a once-obscure mostly Muslim ethnic group into the spotlight." Moreover, about two millions of them "had been 'forced into so-called re-education camps for political and cultural indoctrination' beginning in the middle of 2017. Other reports put the figure at one million."

In the West Bank, Muslims are not given there least rights to practice their religion as others all around the world. Every Ramadan, Gaza is being attacked, and the Aqsa Mosque is being raided from the Israeli occupation forces, by attacking the worshipers, and threatening men, women, elders, and children. A lot of pictures and videos are already posted on @eye.on.palestine page on Instagram. Though this happens every Ramadan, people are still choosing to be blind; the media blackout says is all. Posts are being deleted, and pages are being blocked, shadowed, and censored just because they share Palestinian content and show the Israeli- criminal and violent actions on the Palestinian people. Muslims in Palestine are suffering from two main problems: being Muslims and Palestinians; which introduces the next point.

2- You shouldn't be Palestinian:

Not only Palestinian Muslims are being attacked and prevented from practicing their religion, but also Christians in Beit Lahm.
