Peaceful Revolution

Let's make it happen. Your personal freedoms aren't written in stone; the government has made it abundantly clear that they will abuse them every chance they get. It's not the government's job to protect your freedom, and it certainly isn't the military's. It's yours. Idealists and apathetic fucks alike, I encourage you to take up metaphorical arms and make your god damn voices heard. We as a people need to learn to say no. For the first time in my life, I'm motivated to do something for the good of my country. It's pretty realistic to assume that this might be America's last chance to redeem itself, so I'm gonna do what I can. Who the fuck is with me?

Sleep well, Boston.

It's important to remember that the actions of a handful of young men do not reflect their religion, their ethnicity, their culture. I'm disheartened by many of the comments I've seen on the internet about the Tsarnaev brothers. There is no excusing what they did, but neither is there an excuse to use it to fuel racist and Islamophobic sentiments.

It's worth using it to analyze what factors in the world today can drive a 26 year old and a 19 year old to do such things. It's worth considering the background of these young men, even in the context of Chechnya--for Chechnya has suffered greatly in the last few decades and, in many cases, the behavior of individual Chechens cannot be completely separated from this context. The factors that play into this are complicated, and they're worth considering.

But the issue here isn't Islam and it isn't Chechnya. Muslims and Chechens are as human as anyone else, and are individuals with personal agency. A person's behavior is not determined by his or her religion or ethnicity. Please, do not use one tragedy to fuel the fires of hatred that can lead to others. I am neither Chechen nor Muslim, but I ask that neither Chechens nor Muslims be judged by the actions of an extreme few. Such judgments can all too quickly lead to new tragedies.

On Boston and other tragedies

In times like these it is easy to lose faith in humanity and it is easy to say that the goodness in the world is lost. I confess, that is what I did. I shivered and cowered in fear for people I’ve never seen and because of people of whom we do not yet know. It is not irrational to try and be rational, to try and pin the blame on people, to try and find reason.

But, perhaps in our rationality we are lose sight of what these incidents teach us. For every bomber, there are ten people who rushed to the site within minutes, risking their own lives for others. For every every injury, there is a doctor or a nurse working overtime to save a stranger’s life. For unit of blood lost there is a unit drawn from a person’s body to renew life in someone else’s.

Someone once told me, “The only thing these attacks teach me is how truly loved I am.” I cannot help but extend this to the entire human race. Yes, there are people who commit terrible crimes, who make us question the very existence of goodness. But for every one of those people, there are a hundred who stand up humanity and go above and beyond to prove the opposite to us.

In our shock and greif let us not forget those people. Let this incident, or any incident for that matter be not a reminder of the perpetrators but of the helpers. An act of terror intends to do just that, inspire terror. Let that purpose not be served. Let the prevailing emotion be not terror but strength, resolve and faith in all of human kind.

Boston

I was really shocked when I heared about boston this morning. I don't know why it happend en where the attack so suddenly came from, but I hope it is not going to happen again.

But there is another point and I don't know how to say this without sounding like an ass. In Iran those attackts happen every day, and no-one seems to care about them. The fact that the media choose that only the atack in Boston was interesting enough to put in the news is really frustrating. It is not that the people in Iran are not important. They are not 'used to it'. It is horrible how the media can put those idea's in ones mind.
