Did You Ever Wonder...

When a christian or a Jew murders someone,religion (Christianity/Judaism) is not mentioned,
but when a Muslim is charged with a crime,its islam that goes to trial.

When a Jew practices his religion he is called 'Orthodox.'
When a Christian practices his religion he is called 'devout' but when a Muslim practices
his religion he's called a fundamentalist.

When a Jew or a Sikh grows a beard he's just practising his faith,and
when a Muslim does that,he's an extremist.

W
hen a Nun is covered from head to toe,she's respected for devoting
herself to God,but when a Muslim woman does that,she's Oppressed.

When a western woman stays at home to look after the house and children,she's
sacrificing herself and doing good for the household,but when a Muslim
woman does so,she needs to be liberated.

Where's the justice in this???

The Poison Of Betrayal

Once along his travels,Prophet Isa came across a snake,which complained about a certain
snake charmer that was hunting it.Addressing Prophet Isa,the snake said:
'Oh RoohAllah!Convey to the snake charmer that my bite is terrible.He will not escape
the consequence of my poison,which is fatal.Do warn him.'

After some time,when Prophet Isa passed by the same place,he saw the same snake
curled snugly in the snake charmers basket.In surprise,Prophet Isa exclaimed:
'You had that day issued such and such a threat.What are you doing in the snake charmers basket?'

The snake replied,'Oh RoohAllah!he has pledged to release me after a certain number of days.
If he betrays me by violating his pledge,the poison of his betrayal and deception is worse for him than my poison.'

The spiritual ruin caused by the poison of deception and betrayal is worse than that physical harm caused by a snakes poison.
