Sorry this is not about cats. I just don’t feel like it after hearing the news. How can we think of cat welfare in Pakistan when the Taliban shoot 132 children at a school? How can we expect the welfare of feral cats in Islamabad or indeed domestic gas in households in Pakistan to be improved, to be even thought about or considered when we have such a dark, dark day in the history of humanity as has happened today?
Do we know why the Taliban did this? Personally, I have lost track of what their mission and the meaning of their existence is. Are they Islamic extremists willing to turn the clock back to mediaeval times? And how did they decide that shooting 132 children at school would help to achieve their goal? No goal, absolutely no objective of any sort can justify this depraved crime.
The welfare of domestic and feral cats in Pakistan can never be addressed properly until these sorts of crimes cease, until people respect people. How can we expect people to respect the domestic cat if they can’t even respect other people and their views and opinions?
For my part, it almost seems pointless to discuss and write about the domestic, feral and stray cat on this website when such dark and depraved human behaviour is thrust into our faces on television.
In addition to the mass slaughter of innocent children for no apparent or justifiable reason in Pakistan, we have a background in this country, the UK, of paedophilia the like of which we never truly comprehended. It appears to be everywhere and it appears to indicate that humankind is essentially a very damaged creature capable of depraved behaviour which is not far from the surface at all times. I am referring to the long series of child abuse crimes by the establishment which are now belatedly coming to light.
And we are coming up to Christmas, a time of celebration and goodwill to all men. And all that people are thinking about is how many TVs they can buy on Black Friday! Christmas has been debased to the point where it is simply a consumer nightmare.
It’s a black, black day in the history of humanity when 132 children are slaughtered for some stupid, misguided, crackpot idea that leads to nowhere and achieves nothing other than misery for us all and particularly the families of the children so mercilessly shot down.
That’s what I meant to say. By “damaged” I mean the human psyche
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts about the event, Michael.
I first came to know about this incident at (19:30) when one of my bachelor degree ENGLISH student came at my home to ask me if I need any help regarding my kidney pain. During the discussion, he told me about 123 children has been shot by these BASTARDS. So, I directly opened the web of wikipedia and was stun. GREAT! So this is the message of ISLAM which they are trying to give to the International community of mankind. π
Michael! as some of us or many in the west will believe that ISLAM is what TALIBAN are upto is totally incorrect. Talibaan are KHWARAJ (Outsiders of ISLAM), this group was very active in the era of the last 2 CALIPHs of Islam in the history. and unfortunately, it is again in the rise. Unfortunately again, Pakistan and Afghanistan has become their territory.
And not only these two countries are effected by these insects alike human beings but also other countries. They are part of ILUMINATIES (The satan worshipers).
Sorry to state it very openly on PoC but the truth is that they are not locals, but hired people on high rates of salaries. They have nothing to do with Islam or Islamic faith, but they are injected as a VIRUS INJECTION.
What I indicated before in many of my articles on PoC, (Click the link for my articles and discussions upon Islam where ever on PoC https://pictures-of-cats.org/author/ahsan), Islam is totally considered with the welfare of human beings and animals on this planet earth but what is happening is not Islam. Can they be a MOSLEM then? Okay kill them all, go ahead!!! My pleasure!. Blame them, kill them , they are terrorists, because in your heads they are mUslims (not with o but with u). No, My friend! this kind of blind discussion on any ones faith without having sufficient knowledge is not a master piece. It will be considered as a blaming game on any religion whether that is Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism etc.
The basic is LITERACY level and trying to understand the main reasons of the events.
Cool down and look on the ground realities.
As we know that there is ongoing war against terror in Pakistan. That means only a few brains are terrorist but not the whole Pakistan or its population, otherwise, why should we population support our army, YES WE WANT PEACE FROM THEM, KILL THEM, SLAUGHTER THEM and F*ck them π
Pakistani army alongwith America slaughtered their children, entering into their homes, killed their families. RESULT===========REVENGE π Now its your turn Pakistanis π
Please try to understand the basics and ground realities Michael, I am not a foolish sentimental bastard speaking with my open mouth without collecting the facts. I love truth only and only truth.
Now let me also indicate towards a big big issue here in Pakistan that the politicians are backing Talibaan, many of them and inside army there are many backing up them. Who will bring them into justice???? any answer????
Taliban writers are writing books, selling in the open market here in Pakistan. Example: MOLVI ASIM UMER’s Dajjal book series. He is one of them but very popular writer. Any one that can keep an eye or BAN his books within Pakistan???? No because they get their share???? do they or something hidden agenda????
I hate meat, its like eating my own flesh. Do I have the 100 % right to become a vegetarian in Pakistan???? Its my personal matter. π But no I am a PAGAN in the eyes of a simple priest of mosque here. KAFIR! they say π
Many and I mean 99% believe that I am PAGAN because I love cats and hold them in my arms. IGNORANCE! or wrongly delivered religion.
We all know that there is a big big alteration in the Jewish, Christianity and Islam. The roots are same but the upcoming priests and pops have altered the whole phenomenon and all conceptions.
What today, if I start interpreting Islam according to my personal believes, should the orthodox religion be remaining in me???? But simple brain people will definitely call me a mUslim. But actually I will be a heretic.
I am deeply sorry for long comments but I thought it was necessary, and at last I may say that I miss MOSES too much.
Oh Moses my beloved one prophet of Allah! I stand as you stood alone in the way of Farao to release free the children of Israel, I stand alone in the welfare of my children(cats and kittens) and I will lead every cruel to his / her faith until the last breath of mine. (means with love and literacy I will guide them)
So, It was written
So, it shall be done <3
The World isn’t damaged, WE are. Sure we may have depleted some “natural resources”, done some atrocious deforestation,etc; but the World will be just fine in the “long run”. If we persist to be “pests”, the planet will shake us all off like a bad case of fleas.
It is indeed a tragedy that not only 132 children died, but also the countless others that have paid the ultimate price for what? Religious beliefs? Perhaps… Religion has been used by those in “power” since they figured out it is a great way to control people. Control them enough to justify killing 132 CHILDREN, and think its alright… I dont have any answers, I do not intend to offend any individuals’ religious beliefs…BUT, some religions are automatically offended if you dont believe the same thing they do…to the point of extremism. Again, I am not trying to single out any particular faith, they ALL have skeletons in their closets…quite literally.
Aside from that quagmire…I think that cats are MOST important in times like these. Those children are gone. They are not the first, and sadly will not be the last. But maybe a brother, sister, parent, whatever, survived: and all they has left is their cat(s). I am not saying that cat ownership is the solution to all of Humanity’s problems, but it would give everybody something in common. Something to bring us together rather than tear us apart…something…
It has been such a pleasure reading Ahsan’s stories, and watching his lovely videos. My heart goes out to him and I appreciate all he does. I’m sorry this happened in his country. He is such s beautiful person, I still believe there is more good than evil in the world. When these things happen, it is hard to remember the good. Go back and see his videos, and feel that goodness.
Thanks Diane. I feel sick. It hurts the entire world. The world is damaged.
very sad indeed, Michael. . . love this post. . . I so agree!!! Prayers for the children and the families who will be missing them. . . tears and prayers. . .
