I read Dr Qazi’s article.  His first sentence ‘ Muslims wake up’ in relation to the event he focused on clearly shows that he is biased and is anti Muslim. 

I live in London and this year in the UK a record number of young kids, all in their teens (almost all Christians) have been murdered.  They were either stabbed or shot dead and it was sad to see that so many young Christian lives were lost.  Not too long ago a white beautiful Christian girl was raped and murdered by a Christian youth after she left a club in the early hours of the morning.  The judge commented in the trial that even though she was wearing a mini skirt and revealing clothes that in no way should be used as an excuse – a sort of justification that the young man could not control himself and he ended up murdering her.  Will Dr Qazi now ask the Christian world to wake up and stop the mess the young children are in.  There is a debate going on in the UK – why young people some as young as 13 or 14 are drinking and in some cases it is their parents who provide them the drinks.  The country’s national health is being crippled by the amount it now has to spend on treating alcohol related violent cases especially in young people. Will Dr Qazi now conclude that there is something wrong with the Christian teachings that are resulting in so many young people dying violently and because of drinking.  

Christian world has to analyse why their recent history is full of killing fields.  Two world wars in the last century and after all the efforts for peace we had Palestine, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq and we may face a disaster in Iran – Christian world is directly responsible for all these killing fields.  Not one Christian leader has been brought to the dock to answer why millions were gassed and killed in Vietnam. Dr Qazi wake up. 

My job took me to South Africa and I lived there for six years.  Apart hate as far as the Church in South Africa was concerned was totally okay – the Bible as far as they were concerned clearly said that the black man was send to this world by God to serve the white man.  Thousands of black fellow Christians were brutally raped and murdered in the name of religion.  Many white Christian girls and boys were murdered by their parents for becoming close to non whites.  Will Dr Qazi now conclude that the Christian world he lives in has nothing to answer and it is only the Muslim Hijab that needs all the negative attention and analysis. 

Wake up Dr Qazi.  World has many horrible people and leaders and action of one person does not mean his religion and the entire community that belongs to that religion has to be brutalised.
