What people come across frequently, they tend to eventually grow used to. This familiarity can so develop over time that things which elicit violent surprise or protest when first witnessed become routine matters just a short while later. The wars and conflicts taking place in our world are a case in point. When a country is first occupied and a slaughter or genocide first begins, this can lead to violent protests worldwide. Let us, for instance, consider the first days of the Bosnian conflict, or Chechnya, or Palestine. The image of a Palestinian child on his father's lap who will soon be a target for the bullets of Israeli soldiers, prisoners of Goutnomobay who were tortured mercilessly, Chechen babies murdered in their nappies, women, the elderly and children alike subjected to a terrible genocide in Bosnia. When people first see such images, they often talk about their feelings of outrage and say they want to do something. However, over time the never-ending stream of horrific reports ceases to attract their attention anymore. More people die every day, women are raped, and children are shot or lose a foot after stepping on mines. However, people's reactions in the early days are replaced by an odd insensitivity. When they buy a newspaper, they are often more interested in celebrity gossip than stories of war. That is because the deaths of a few people in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir or East Turkestan have become merely "routine news."
Moreover, propaganda at the same time portrays all this savagery as political developments. Thus it is that many people see the continuing slaughter in Chechnya as an internal Russian affair, what is going on in Palestine as a struggle for land between Israel and Palestine, and the Indian oppression of the people of Kashmir as a problem rooted in the region's strategic position. Among others, it is true that historical and economic factors do play a role in the emergence of conflict. Chechnya is of great economic and strategic importance to Russia. Fanatical Jews have maintained the intention of occupying Jerusalem and other Palestinian territories for centuries. However, internal or economic problems aren't the only cause of the oppression visited on the Chechen people by the Russian administration, nor the violence that Muslim peoples in Africa are subjected to, nor the violent cruelty and ethnic cleansing suffered before the eyes of the whole world by Muslims in the Balkans.
Another aspect of the matter is that some people know nothing about the people who live in these countries, and often have never even heard of the countries themselves. The situation of someone who has no idea of the difficulties, oppression and acts of violence, hunger and poverty suffered by Muslims living in Sudan, Algeria, Indonesia, Myanmar, Djibouti and Tunisia is certainly food for thought. It is impossible for such a person to extend a helping hand to believers whom he does not know even exist. Other people are aware of this cruelty and injustice. Yet it does not even occur to them that they might be able to help or try to put an end to the oppression. Furthermore, they so convince themselves that they are unable to do anything about it that neither the reports they read nor the images they see on the television screen trouble their consciences in the slightest.
Human rights violation is nowadays a fashion and exceeding its limits in all parts of the world, particularly in Muslim countries. When we talk about Kashmir, one can find the worst levels of human rights violation here. unwarranted capturing,castodial killings, rapes, undemocratic house arrests and hurling much more draconian laws makes it a hell in this world. The unending cases of human rights violation and unfortunate blind eyes and deaf ears of the so called liberators of the world.....worsen this situation. Over hundred thousand persons killed and thousands kept in prison one can find the severity of this problem. One can ask only a simple question...why is this so insensitivity towards this oppression and human rights violation?????
The plight of innocent Muslims all over the world is quite evident and this is not a time to remain silent, behave uncaringly, dedicate ourselves to the petty benefits of this world and kill time with pointless debates and squabbles. At a time when millions of Muslims are suffering such terrible cruelty, it could be an act of the greatest heedlessness to refuse to shoulder any burden for Islam. Now the time demands us to leave this insensitiveness and think as well as work untidily as an UMMAH and raise our voices against all evil forces and injustice.
