The   old   lady   begging   at   the   robot.  

i   do   not   frown   at   you.

i   do   not   despise   you.

The   road   you   walked  to  this   robot  (traffic   lights),   i   walked   a   road   to   it   too. 

i   am   you  

you   are   more   than   me.

In  the  (about  maulana  munir  hassan  and  this  blog)  Page  i  said  that  I  would  blog (write)  about  an  unsuccessful  attempt  to  murder  me  and  the  death  threats  that  i  received  and  still  do. 

 

1.  i  was  once  criticizing  the   misogynistic   muslim  practice  on  talk  radio  here  in  South  Africa. 

One  night  three (3)  men  broke  into  my  home  after  midnight.

i  was  asleep.  The  assaulted  me.  One  of  the  men  shoved  a  gun  into  my  mouth.  He  tried  firing  it.  The  gun  jammed.  He  gave  the  gun  to  an  accomplice,  took  out  a  knife  and  brandished  it  in  my  face.  They  told  me  to  get  into  the  back  room.  They  held  onto  me.  i  managed  to  break  free,  ran  to  the  window  and  began  screaming.  The  murderers – cum – assassins  ran  away. 

 

In  the  morning  a  family  member  received  a  telephone  call,  “Did  he  get  the  message!”

The son of Aaminah worked as a hand on merchant caravans that traveled far and wide to sell, buy, barter, scout… might there have been someone who showed him some kindness? a date? some cheese? some butter? a sip of water? maybe a toy or some useful thing, a knife? If only i could have been that stranger. i would have loved to say ” thank you ” to that stranger  but i am unable to – hunger eats me as a write, it makes me dizzy, it makes me wonder – strange, what awesome and terrible power hunger has, the power to make man wonder.

Hunger is satan’s triumph over man and God.

The stomach cramps are the echo of his laughter.

Hunger makes man an enemy of himself.

Hunger puts man at war with himself.

Hunger makes man hate himself.

 

 

Yaa Aaminah Ummann Nabiyy, Yaa Aaminah Ummahaatil Iimaan wal Islaam i munir hassan, an abused orphan, place at your doorstep this.
You sit in an abode higher then firdaus, the ulul azm of the Nabis want audience with you. 

Yaa Aaminah! The design of many after the death of my father, one Faqiir Ahmed Hassan, was to deny me literacy, numeracy, education… this agenda they collectively and violently pursued.  Their Scars are visible on my body.
They succeeded triumphantly and completely – Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Had they not succeeded i would have given you a much better gift, a gift with which i could be desirous of the ridh’waan of Your son, the darling of the heavens and the earths.
