Religions shouldn’t be a barrier for PEACE

This is first time im going to post something on my blog. Today is September 11, its still fresh in mind how the two giant planes with full of fuel attacked and crashed the World Trade Centre 5 years ago and killed thousand of innocent souls. . I always asked my self why, why all these happened? The one and only reason it could be is religion.

I'm a Muslim by birth and my personal faith like that of most people has wandered through a long path of doubt, fear, uncertainty and such feelings. Ultimately, spurred by a number of things including meeting some people and my friends, and some books that I read, I had this question. What's the purpose of religion? I mean why so many people in the world follow a religion. Is atheism a religion? What is a religion after all? Why all this complication? What is the point in going to a church/temple/mosque/himalayas and praying? For atheists, it won't make sense. If Darwin says there is no god then why the hell all these? But for pious people, what's the reason? Why should the almighty god up there really want people to worship him? What's he going to get? Most people would say something like god loves his creatures and he wants to give them a chance to get into "heaven". Why some religion made people’s life to become so harder. They couldn’t live the way they wanted. The world breaks in to pieces because of religion. What the hell is cast all about? In India those cobblers are untouchables. Then what about famous shoe makers like Dr. Cardin & Nike, are they untouchables too?

Now the path that people find suited to their tastes might be different and I perfectly agree on that . One must be willing to throw away ideas that one has been blindly conditioned with and search for the truth with all his ability the facilities that we have now (books, internet and so on) I’m a Muslim right now and if I find tomorrow that this is simply not the right way to practice, I should be willing to throw this path away and follow the one I'm convinced about. That's what the search is all about. Following a religion even when one is convinced that it's pointless is a most stupid thing to do and is confusing one to the end .

Religion came in when societies were formed for better living and secured life. Super people with high positive energy came forward from the community to change one’s believe which is executed by the cruel old orthodox which only benefited the higher authority and the population had to suffer because of the cruel orthodox.

There are many religions in this world because of many societies. Each religion outlined the scripture to make their environment healthier and became a holy book at the end. But what happened actually? There is a battle among the religions to show their superiority. Some religion says that we are the only people who are entitled for heaven and others to hell no matter how good they are in the world and just because they died as a different religion practitioner they will be placed in and tortured forever. What rubbish is this? God has to be someone who is fair and equal to every human being if at all he is the one who created them. Ego clash of religions led to physical clashes between religions to religion. Religious influence on public leads them to have faith in them and prevents to think beyond.
Illiterate population adds up more children than literate population of urban due to misunderstanding of religion and saying it’s given by god as if they don’t do anything. Reformation in religion is necessary for our future children or else they will not even like any humans from a different religion from them. As we see young generation are poisoned by the older generation until they hate people and the country just because they are different in religion. The most important thing we have to teach and educate our future children how to accept a person for what he or she is. Teach them the values of lives, love and be a useful citizen to the country after all we are not going to be in the world for thousand years. Let’s tribute for the innocent people who killed in September 11 incidents. May their soul rest in peace.
