A Day of Mourning
I was supposed to go for a lunch together with my staff to celebrate one of their birthday. Just a minute ago I told them I'm not going as I'm mourning for our nation. I don't want to spoil a happy occasion.
How many more churches are going to be fire-bombed and burnt down? How many more threats are going to be issued to the non Muslims? How many more restrictions are going to be placed on us in the way we worship our God?
How can I eat? How can I celebrate? How can I even smile? When my country is burning. When it is engulfed with so much hatred and bigotry. I can only mourn and weep. Not for myself. But for our next generation.
May Allah have mercy on us.
