When the value of one life equals thousands.

Suddenly the light turned off, it was totally dark and silent, i could even hear the heartbeat of the person sitting next to me, everyone was apprehensive of the opening of the play.

The curtains opened, the whole stage was in darkness except for a single spotlight focused on a soldier with tears running down his face, holding his comrade gasping for his last breath, while calling out in a loud voice “I will take revenge for you".

You could feel the heartbreak from the audience.

Almost immediately the whole stage was alight and the scene changed to bodies scattered everywhere, some whole and others without limbs, the whole stage was like a river of blood and a loud voice calling ‘We have taken revenge’.

Some people may think this scene of the play is graphic and cannot happen in real life, in actual fact it did and still continues to happen.

The latest example being was the death of the Jordanian pilot, Muadh al-Kasasbeh who was burned in the most barbaric way and his killing in such a manner has received world wide condemnation, no religion can condone this atrocity, including Islam.

This represents the opening of the play, the second part of the play which had been deliberately hidden from the public eye,

which manifest in the same pilots who the media had shown as a martyr and a hero, had been a part of the Jordanian air force and the International army coalition that had been bombarding Syria and Iraq for the last six months.

Almost all air raids resulted in burning people alive and burying them alive,this number mounting to tens of thousands, mostly innocent civilians were the victims who had nothing to do with the coalition or Isis.
============================
Even Human Rights Watch addressed in its latest reports that

The international coalition war on "ISIS" kill more civilians in Syria and Iraq

Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2015,

"The war against (ISIS) have not succeeded so far, and Human Rights organisation is calling upon the participants in that war, the international coalition to reconsider that war, as it result in killing of innocent civilians."

The report also criticized, what it called

"the silence of the international community to the Syrian regime's crimes against the Syrian people."
===========================
Some people may blame Isis for the death of the Jordanian pilot due to their extreme radical view of Islam.

Islam does not condone such horrible, terrible, and inhuman crime that goes against the noble teachings and universals of Islam.

Perpetrators of this major crime should be held accountable for it.

Islam never justifies such violent, barbaric acts under any pretext.
There are so many Quranic verses and hadith prohibit the burning or torture of any human beings and giving rights to the prisoners of war

==============================
The glorious Quran Surah Al-Insan 76:8
==============================
وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا
==============================
76:8 And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive
==============================
It is Islamically forbidden to burn a human, whether dead or alive.

Allah Most High says, {Truly We have honored human beings} (Al-Isra’ 17: 70); burning a human being is a blatant disregard of the honor owed him or her as per the Divine will.

In one of his hadiths, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said,

“No one is entitled to punish with fire except the Creator (God) of the fire”.
(Abu Dawud, Sunan, No. 2673)

Islam has preceded all world laws in protecting and honoring people.

Islamic law even considers the unjust killing of a single person as horrible and punishable as killing all people.

Allah says,
==============================
The glorious Quran Surah Al-Ma’idah 5: 32
==============================
Whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if be had killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had: saved the life of all mankind.
==============================

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “A believer remains within the scope of his religion as long as he doesn’t kill another person illegally.”

Islamic Shari`ah (Law) never justifies or teaches violence or injustice.

In this context, Ibn al-Qayyim says,
======================================
Shari`ah is based on wisdom and consideration of people’s interests both in this world and the world to come. It is all about justice, mercy, and welfare.

Therefore, any case that brings about injustice, cruelty, evil, and disorder is not of Shari`ah, even if some people may interpret it to be so; Shari`ah signifies Allah’s mercy and justice among His servants.

Shari`ah reflects Allah’s wisdom, which does prove, beyond any shadow of doubt, His existence and the truthfulness of His Messengers.

(Ibn al-Qayyim,I`lam al-Muwaq`in, vol. 4: p. 337)
======================================
Sheikh Ahmed Deedat (may Allah have mercy on him) once quoted

“The biggest enemy of Islam is the ignorant Muslim, whose ignorance leads him to intolerance, whose actions destroy the true image of Islam, and when the people look at him they think that Islam is what he is”
======================================

Therefore, it is not acceptable to blame Islam itself for the illegal acts of the so-called “ISIS” that Muslims all over the world don’t accept.

The blame of the Jordanian pilot rather lies with some of the Arab countries and the Jordanian regime who joined the coalition for a battle that has no gain whatsoever.

The latest call for revenge for the life of the pilot manifested in a massive air strike in Syria, led by the Jordanian King and resulted in the killing of more civilians, the burning of one civilian, cost tens of thousands and this is called justice
======================================
Mahatma Gandhi once said— 'An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.'
======================================

And indeed the world turned blind and biased to the level you find the American sniper Chris Kyle who killed more than 200 Iraqi Muslims, mentioned in his memoirs , he enjoyed killing them, and as if that wasn’t enough, Hollywood has made him a hero, and celebrates his evil actions.
======================================
The western media invest in Islamophobia.
=======================================
If you're not careful, the newspapers (media) will have you hating the people who are being oppressed (Muslims), and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” (The tyrant western and Arab Governments)
=======================================
― Malcolm X
=======================================

Therefore although we do condone this barbaric end to this pilots life, we also cannot call him a hero or a martyr as for the last six months with his F16 , he wasn’t throwing chocolates or flowers to the innocent Syrian people.

While America and the coalition condemn this pilots death, they never raised an eyebrow to

• The killing of ten thousand Muslims in one day, in two square Rabaa
and Nahda in Egypt at the hand and orders of Sisi at western
appointed tyrant, head of the military coup.

• or the killing of thousands of Muslims in Burma or the thousands
burned and killed in Middle Africa by the Christian militia

• or the tens of thousands of Syrians who were burned alive by petrol
containers thrown from aircrafts into residential areas.

• The list goes on and on…

======================================
• When one life being burned causes outrage and condemnation.
======================================
• why is their no outrage and condemnation when ‘Muslims are burning
