Form The Future

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     The truth is that I was thinking about my previous thoughts. As I ended this post, I began to ask questions. The answers to these questions are not simple, because the questions are complex. They don't involve one person, but are thinking about communities, various regions, and even civilizations. If you think about it - I wondered that even when we are living in the 21st century, we still have to think about world populations as various civilizations, such as East and West. When actually there is much more integrations of populations, more than ever due to migrations, and travelling from one country to another. 

     I don't think that the world is as separate as it seems. It seems so because we hear of the many attacks and hate crimes that are being committed. We automatically assume separateness. But it is pockets of individuals that cause hurt and harm, whilst others belonging to same groups are living peacefully. We can think about Muslim populations who are living peacefully, and practicing a peaceful way of life through religious teachings and beliefs. Yet, this peace is threatened, with the rise of terror groups. This can be called the rise of political Islam, where there are radical minorities that are using violence. These thoughts can be connected to the recent attacks in Iraq. Where ISIS destroyed Al - Nuri mosque.

     This is a historic site that contains treasured history. Why would groups such as ISIS who "claim" that they are Muslims seek to destroy their own religious history? It does not make sense to me. These thoughts can also be related to the on-going violence and attacks in Afghanistan. 

     With the rise of violence from the Islamic terrorists or from the Eastern Civilizations, tensions are mounting between the East and the West. Tensions that would be better off to be resolved through diplomacy, rather than war. Diplomacy does not mean that one person holds all the answers, but rather working together with leaders of countries to find enhancing, enriching, positive solutions. No one can agree on everything, but everyone can agree on something. 

     If we want to see the growth of global trade, economic growth, continued value for human dignity, and life; then we have to think about how the "Monster Machine" of terrorism is going to try to be resolved. Terrorism is and should not be linked to nay religion, because the very religion that it says that it is associated with is also being shamed by this monster machine. How can you shame in the name of God?

     Leaders, especially those of the Islamic nations must seek to work together, engage in effective dialogue, even if their Islamic sects are not the same. They have to begin talking to one another. Discussing and sharing ideas, with each other, because if they don't, the "monster machine" of terrorism will only seek to grow. And as China will begin to re-emerge, this nation is actually key to try to establish peace within the regions where there are escalated tensions. The United States of America is the world leader, and can also be viewed as the protector for other nations. However, global peace requires that leaders and nations must work together, to re-think how the vision of peace can be achieved with the help of each other. Countries should be strategically aligning now, to cultivate, and invest in relationships for long - term goals. This will require leadership from the US, but it is also up to leaders of nations to work together as well.
