CAMPAIGN AGAINST FORCED MARRIAGES & HONOR KILLINGS IN THE UK - RUN BY ARABIAN OUD {R} -PLEASE JOIN



Over the past few years, especially recently, there have been a lot of honor killings in the UK, most of them are linked to forced marriages, and not surprisingly, these honor killings have been committed by Muslim people. Recently, a Pakistani girl was brutally murdered by her father, brother and cousin brother, meanwhile her mother and small neices were watching the murder. the neices as small as 2 and 4 yrs old were compelled to stand and watch, so if they tried to do something in future, this would be their end. There have been numerous cases, call it illiteracy or plain 'Jahiliya' ignorance, which results in killing their flesh and blood. Me and my friends have decided to set up a campaign against honor killing and forced marriages, and convince the British government that there is a need to impose a strict law which condemns such barbaric activities. and there shall be severe punishment. In previous editions it was mentioned, the government wouldnt impose a law, becoz it would backfire against Muslims. We as Muslims have to prove that it wont backfire us, there is no place for innocent lives killed in the name of honor killings, especially if the girl or the boy have not indulged in anything physically wrong. The Pakistani girl who was murdered wanted to marry a guy of her choice but her parents forced her to marry someone else. In the past there have been cases such as this, where a Kurdish girl was murdered, and what not. Stand up against honor killings and forced marriages, there is no place for such things in Islam. Our campaign is going to involve British media, these include>> Islam Channel, Muslim Association of Britain, the Metropolitan Police, The Respect Party which supports Muslims highly and others. Please join our campaign, we shall be sending petitions and please get them signed, this applies to everyone who believes in us, we are focusing in the UK but also, in Muslim countries. We need voices especially from UK but even comments from others for the number of publishing work we are doing in UAE and elsewhere against honor killings. My article on honor killing shall appear in Gulf News enshAllah and Im looking for comments.
Kindly send me a personal message, with the subject 'Honor killings' so I can easily distinguish who are interested in my campaign.

thankyou for your kind words Hitman, yes its a true tht a lot of the Muslim societies are especially targets of such devilish practices, honor killings and forced marriages have no place in Islam. Often a lot of people misinterpret the word 'forced marriages' they think its simply a physical form of force, but thts wrong, even mental and the blackmail is counted as forced pressure.

حامل الهوى تعب. أبو نواس. ( The One Burdened With Passion Is Weary. Abu Nuwas [d. 814 AD]) on Arabian Oud {R}

حامل الهوى تعب ـــ يستخفه الطرب If he cries, it is right for him [to do so] - what he has is no game. إن بكى يحق له ـــ ليس ما به لعب Whenever one cause [of pain] comes to an end - from you, [another] cause returns to me. كلما انقضى سبب ـــ منك عاد لي سبب You laugh obliviously - as the lover weeps. تضحكين لاهية ـــ والمحب ينتحب You marvel at my sickness - my health is the marvel. تعجبين من سقمي ـــ صحتي هي العجب

Whenever you are with me... by Arabian Oud {R}

Whenever you are with me, No matter how hard life gets, I always have you to make me feel loved, You whisper in my ears, Words of encouragement, Everytime I fall, Your love holds me back, Look at this home, We built with so much love and hard work, Where did you disappear one day? And leave me all alone in a place we called 'home' You left me in an endless darkness, With no hope, with tears, with regrets, Was our love so weak? That it couldn't stand the storm? That it couldn't stand these hard tests? Was our love so fake? That instead of holding each other, We run away from each other, And act as if we no longer care, And act as if we are deaf to each other's voice, Act as if we can live without each other, Whenever you are with me, In my thoughts, my loneliness disappears, You are my other half, that completes me, Come back and complete our story, Make this house a home again, Fill it with life and happiness, The love our souls dream for, The love we prayed for..

Unbeliever in love - June 2006 poem

I was once a believer in love, but now I am an unbeliever in love, I was so deeply smitten by his smile, but now I wonder what drove me to him? I thought love meant eternal BLISS, but then I realised it was plain HELL, Prancing around the trees like a child, I seemed to lose my innocence in love, Love, you followed my shadow everywhere, And then you entered my blood and then my soul, You crept into my alley in the dark night, Then stole my sleep and hypnotised me, I thought it was so special, 'true love' But it was nothing but a gud 'Time pass' for you, Driving me to insanity and sleepless nights, Then stealing away my dreams and peace, You vanish in the midst of the night, I thought you understood me, you was special, But it was all a charade you put up, You behave all sweet and innocent infront of me, But inside thee are full of betrayal and evil, Now I am an unbeliever in love, Thankyou for waking me up, Coz I can see I was lucky to walk away lonely, I am deaf to the...
