The roots of this hatred and devouring of its own children lies in the deadly schism of Islam. The rupture that takes the toll every day in the broad expanse of Islamic countries from Bahrain to Saudi. I will refer to the history; the roots of all these killings lie in the ‘pardons of Fateh-e- Mecca’ and death of Prophet. It all started the day Prophet of Islam died. Alas, little did Imam knew that he is cursed and haunted by the historical schism of ‘devouring its own.’ A curse set as the destiny of children of Islam! Devouring suicide bombing killing of its own kin is a continuation of a bitter war of blood and venom between Banu Hashim and Banu Umayyads; that curse has continually taken its toll on children of Islam for 1470 years.

I’m following but haven’t sent a Facebook friend request to the writer, for my exuberant friend-making behavior has been flagged — only once, not blocked — and it has made me more conservative as well as more appreciative of having the ability to read another writer’s work without right away invoking greater Facebook buddiehood.
