"Report of a Bankrupt"

"Go and filch the final strip of my land,
Ditch my youth in prison holes,
Plunder my legacy,
Burn my books,
Feed your dogs on my fishes,
Go and spread your net of terror
Upon the roofs of my village,
Enemy of man,
I shall not compromise
And to the end I shall fight,
If you blow out all the candles in my eyes
If you fill my anguish.
Forge my coin,
Uproot the smile from my children's faces,
If you raise a thousand walls,
And nail my eyes to humiliation,
Enemy of man,
I shall not compromise
And to the end
I shall fight."

Samih Al-Qassem's poem "Report of a Bankrupt"

The poem is saying that no matter what you (enemy) continue to do (plunder, take my land, fill in the rest) I will contine to resist.

A beautiful poem.

Let's add the brothers and sisters in Kashmir, Chechnya and other Muslim sturggles in it aswell.

The hindus discovered the benefits of urine drinking, the most revered and sacred of Hindu Sadhus run around the streets naked and their diet includes cow urine, which they also bathe in. One of India's prime minister's breakfast include his own urine, he said he couldn't kick of the day withouth it.

So never doubt the courage of the Indians, afterall they discovered the benefits of urinedrinking.

Assalamualaykum, Yes may Allah SWT help ALL our brothers and sisters all over the world to have sabr and to grant them victory over their enemies ameen.
We can do a lot of positive things to help our brs and srs. First, we can make sincere dua for them. We can join support groups and have a voice. Organise sales of work at our local mosques and community centres and send donations for the widows and orphans, for medical supplies etc. B.I.G. - Boycott Israeli Goods. Put pressure on our respective Governments to speak out against the injustice and to put economic sanctions in place. I am sure there are lots more things we can do. Any more POSITIVE suggestions from anyone?

Religion is Naseehah...

Your sister in Islam,
