Am I A
Terrorist?
They
call my people
blood
thirsty terrorists
blowing
up buildings and planes
with
dynamite tied to their chests
killing
civilians by the hundreds
-but
am I a terrorist?
True,
some of my people
of
names similar to mine
do
act violently in despair
when
their human rights are stolen
when
their suffering and plights are ignored
in
the refugee camps of Sabra and Chatala.
-
but am I a terrorist?
Islam,
the religion of Submission
teaches
Muslims to respect life
"If
anyone had killed one man
except
in lieu of murder and mischief
it
is as if he killed the whole mankind"
Same
verse in Torah and Quran too
by
the same God
-how
could I be a terrorist?
Prophet
Mohammad, Peace be upon him
was
a mercy to mankind
he
cared for the poor, elderly and sick
even
if not from his faith
he
stood in respect for a funeral procession of a Jew
he
let a cat take a nap on his robe
not
to disturb her, he cut his robe
He
told Muslim armies not to hurt women and kids
sick
and old, cut trees or kill animals just for fun
I
love him so much
-how
could I be a terrorist?
But
why do they call us terrorists?
why
not call the IRA, Red Army, Tamil Tigers
Militant
Hindus or Serbians terrorists.
Why
not call the militia
blowing
up government buildings
and
killing innocent civilians a terrorist
No,
the term is reserved for Muslims
-
and I am a Muslim.
We
are the victims of terrorism
in
Palestine, Kashmir, Checnya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Phillipines, Bosnia
and
Kosova
by
individuals and states
with
knives, guns, tanks and rape
-who
is a terrorist?
I
remember Serb soldiers came to my house
they
killed my father and my big brother too
I
miss them so much.
They
raped my mom and my sister too.
I
loved them so much.
Then
they burned my house, my books and toys too
-
and they call us terrorists.
I got
scared, and fled into the woods
joined
a caravan going to the border
migrating
from oppression to a land of peace and freedom
I
have walked two days and climbed a mountain
I
am hungry and thirsty, tired and sick
My
legs are weak and my feet are bleeding
unable
to walk anymore
-
do I look like a terrorist?
I
am not a terrorist
I
am a Muslim
seeking
love, peace and justice
My
name is Mehmet Poturvic
I
am a 6 year old from Kosova
Dear
God, please help me and my people.
"You
alone I worship, from you alone I seek help"
