A few crumbs of thoughts to spoil the feast of killing in hope of fixing a banquet from the imperishable ingredients of Love pure and unconditional. May Wikipedia succeed in stirring the cosmic mind with tunes of justice, wisdom and understanding.
Who would be the victor, and who the vanquished
In this war of words and decisions
Neither US, nor Iraq
The former ploughed the field of anarchy
The latter unearthed the seeds of contention
Secretarian violence
Tyranny of the Super Power
No borders, no boundaries
Within the ocean of ignorance and vengeance
Where innocent victims bleed and expire
Their cries of horror silenced
Inside the ether of imponderables
Why, why, why
Ignorance dares not anwer
Pride and arrogance
Guard the doors of follies past and present
The gates of compassion are shut hermatically
Only hatred floats free
Knocking and conspiring
Take heed
O warring, blood-mongering world
Set free the prisoners of love and peace
Those wise wretches locked
Behind the gates of perception
The saviors of mankind
Longing to console
The suffered and the suffering
The hunted and the hunting
Into one eternal embrace of
Unity, sanity, harmony
A new book to cultivate the seeds of love, peace and unity.
Answers from Mount Hira Muhammad: The First Sufi of Islam www.dreamcatcherbook.com
This book is written with the intention of dissolving all rifts between Muslims and non-Muslims, between Arabs and non-Arabs. It is intended as an offering of peace to the People of the Book—more like a gift of understanding to be shared and exchanged amongst countless friends, who strive toward cultivating the seeds of love, peace and harmony. Islam, meaning literally, peace and reconciliation, has rekindled its lamp of truth in this book for the seekers of wisdom, who seek neither awards nor rewards for their efforts to learn and promote reason and tolerance, but longing only for the light of infinite compassion inside this globe of universal rifts, conflicts and contentions. Islam, for centuries, has been wading and drowning inside the ocean of lies and distortion, and Muslims themselves are contributing toward its demise and annihilation. Mounds upon mounds of lies have been told by so many, so often, so repeatedly and with such conviction throughout the centuries that these lies have assumed the grandeur of truths infallible and uncontestable. And in this millennium even if a few dared challenge the glitter of these lies, revealing the gold of truth, this radiant truth would still have to struggle against the shroud of black lies to reveal itself in its true essence. But the glitter of lies has been chiseled off in this book, preserving only the pearl of truth, which could glow and remain free of rust if polished by minds pure and perceptive. Always humble and truthful, Prophet Muhammad never entertained any thought of malice, hatred or vengeance. Persecuted by the Meccans, when peace negotiations failed and when war could not be avoided, he fought only in self defense. For personal injury or insult, he never exacted any punishment, but forgave most graciously. If defeated, he did not despair, and if victorious, forgave all, even the bitterest of his enemies. History remains witness, Prophet Muhammad is not a man of sword; glinting only the pennants of love, justice and equality. The heart of Quran and the spiritual heart of the Prophet are preserved in this book, alive and throbbing, drawing the reader toward a fresh challenge to separate lies from truth, or glean truth from under the mounds of lies, grand and mighty. Many books have been written about the Prophet of Islam, but none so candid as to explore his spiritual heart filled with the light of love, compassion and understanding. The example of his life, as lived in loving kindness and in perfect harmony with nature and mankind are the living emblem of his Message in this book, which sadly and paradoxically remains overshadowed by literal interpretations or misinterpretations by many scholars and historians. Answers from Mount Hira, strives toward filling this gap within the historic arena of Islam by touching the fabric of Prophet’s life as a family man, a loving father and husband, and a noble patron of equality and justice. The facts deserving contemplation in this book are women’s rights, compassion for animals, and abolishing of slavery, which are either neglected, or willfully buried under the debris of polemics in other scholarly works dealing with the life of the Prophet. It is a book of promoting love, just for the sake of love alone, pure and unconditional.
Comtemplating the Conscience
Preaching peace and practicing war
Actions speak louder than words
To stir the ashes of world conscience
One needs to study the volcano of violence
In one's own heart and mind
A strange, strange world
Where hypocrisy alone is the tyrant
Puncturing the globe of this earth
With the missiles of insanity
Lunatics ruling the world
Fighting the lunatics on the streets
Chaos and devastation much prized beyond reason
The straws of global conscience
Tossed into the bonfire of madness
Who would dare hold the candles of peace
Anyone??????????
One more book by Farzana Moon to redeem ourselves from the follies of the past. Holocaust of the East

Holocaust of the East is a remembrance of the tragedies past, recounting the partition of Hindustan into India and Pakistan. Through the mirror of history polished by time, this book hopes to lend the light of harmony through its own candid reflection. It is a book of reckoning, staying afloat over the ocean of vengeance and bloodshed. Love to the right; hate to the left, cruelty in the foreground, compassion in the background. All rooted solid in the marshland of a paradox. Evil and good run parallel amidst the mass exodus of Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims; never meeting in twain, and filling the craters of the great divide with million dead, mutilated and slaughtered. Paradoxically, all the horrors and atrocities in the aftermath of partition in this book strive toward awakening the cosmic compassion of the world. A world, which could transcend above the petty conflicts of power and possession? A world within worlds where all creeds and nations could take pride in sharing the rosary of love, peace and harmony for the benefit of humanity in its evolution toward unity, preserving only the pearls of intellect and understanding.
"Farzana Moon’s earlier writings are vivid evocations of life on the Indian subcontinent, bringing a rich depiction of a world too little known to American readers. Holocaust of the East promises to match her previous work. She brings the harsh and tragic history of Hindustan to bear on doubled love stories, as tragic as the peoples who are ripped apart by their country’s partition. The effect on ordinary people of political power plays is powerfully shown, in story that is deeply engrossing. Recommended highly for all those wanting to learn more of the events which have shaped the last half century in an area of the world which is becoming increasing more important to American interests, both business and political."
Alan Woods--Director of Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute/Ohio State University
"Storytelling is a powerful teacher. We live our lives through our stories which can become, through reflection, lessons learned. A story of life, one truly told, is always explored through binary opposites. To "truly" tell an event is to recount its history from all points of view.
Holocaust of the East engages the reader in the exploration of a tragedy that expands the definition of the word 'holocaust'. This book by Farzana Moon explores the concept of love in a world of madness. The unfolding of this remarkable story offers a view of history where love becomes a question in the past and an answer for the future. "
