Tragic Apathy
Parvez Sheikh via e-mail

It is sad and tragic that while Palestinians are being mercilessly killed and Al Aqsa is desecrated by Israel, we Muslims are a picture of indifference to this continuing tragedy. There are many show biz groups (Vital Signs, etc.) touring different states. Their performances are well attended every evening!

If Muslims have some conscience, they should boycott these shows and send the performers back to where they came from. We must reflect for a second as to where we are heading. The great poet Shauqi has said:

“Nations are only as long as their char-acter remains.

When their character vanishes, they also disappear.”
