Koran says ‘Peace is one of the God’s names. Those who seek to please god are assured of the sixteenth surah that they will be guided by him to the ‘paths of peace’ and according to Koran, God does not love fasad or violence. This is action, which results in disruption of the social system, causing huge losses in terms of lives and property. Religion is defensive and in the name of God, faith exists but far too long, we have been hating and fighting. It’s time to tackle real issues and build temples to tolerance, understanding and love. War is violence. Violence rear violence to crush humanity. Humans have possessed a nature to destruction losing the control of the mind as egoism surfaces up.People crave for peace and have raised concerns to spread the message but it’s in the air deep rooted with differentiates with greed, corruption, beliefs and their protests go unheard by the so-called saviors of the nation. It is utter failure as who created the world doesn’t matter. All matters is who governs with a chaos leadership quality! The question stands clear that every concealment of acts of hatred leads to fresh crime. Acknowledgement of responsibility and expression of regret could help bring a healing. The world cloaks in darkness and the stealer of souls, Satan creep into the innocent souls to flicker the fires of flames within. God save mankind, Allah save the world! Let peace prevail!

PEACE LESSON FOR KIDS | Guardian of Angels - Peace is at your Doorstep
Issues are surfaced, motives unseen and beliefs underlying! Issues of conflict are like the tip of an iceberg. Underneath are the unseen motives that cause healthy disagreements to turn sour. And when at the time of Community crisis, situation standing at the cross roads, the beliefs stand underlying – What we believe about God, ourselves and our circumstances. These beliefs shape not only why we are disagreeing but how we are doing so! And there is this revolting, smashing and repulsive religion or the so-called communal war with a more awful word ‘conflict’ which leads to a carnage of human life, piercing and tearing to pieces. The very roots of Jihad stand with the conflict that took place years before between Islam and Christianity. ‘Peace be upon him’ is the avowed aim of not only Islam but Christianity as well when said ‘Peace be with u’ but since time long, the power of self protection pass through the minds of people who fall victims of prey to injustice and insecurity. As quoted by Mr. M.J. Akbar, “The shade of swords is not an invitation to kill; it is an invitation to die” and the Islamic faith demands in a holy war, the blood of faithful in the defense of their faith and this is Jihad. The war that started years ago and may continue with the glaring gleams of hatred with a raised sword held high to protect and defend oneself. The roots were deep and the fire that is visible on the muslim street across the world today is fuelled by a perception of injustice and exploitation by the west. Quran promises terror, darkness and the lowest depths of hell to the mischief makers, fools, mockers, arrogant, ignorant races, says MJ in his book. Like the very Gita character Krishna in Mahabharata took hold of the reigns to fight a battle against the evil. Koran says ‘Do not commit evil in the land’ and Gita says ‘Let him be my great devotee but if he injures a soul, his offerings I reject’ God is provoked with the cries of the shattering peace, of innocent souls, the columns of smoke from fires and hate choking the air letting the sun go down. It’s like a cat and mouse game. A fight to finish and see which god wins? Who cares? The very question that is burning is ‘Why the Conflicts? Why the hatred? Why the wounded pride? Why the barriers? Why the system of classification of faith and betrayed trust? Why can’t people just live in peace and unity? And the world talks of ‘World unity’ – This is Strange! The present flare up of Conflict is an integral part of life categorized as Intra-personal, Inter-personal and Group conflicts. The present Group Conflict War is a clash between the communities and the cycle of conflict surface issues and injury. This leads to a sense of loss leading to misbeliefs demanding for self protection when fear and anger grips in which finally leads to a dreaded word ‘Harm’. People often shout from frustration or fear as much as they do as a warning sign of violence. Disagreements surface and bitterness creeps in. Issues do not cause conflicts but unseen motives and underlying beliefs do flick the flames. When two people or more try to occupy the same space, conflicts do occur. When there is envy and selfishness, the red signal of anger, fear and insecurity, trouble shoots up. Anger signals unrecognized weakness and tempers get lost in trying to protect oneself and this is the conflict that gives way not to give evidence of strength but of profound weakness. Such fear we could see now in the present flare between communities and each one trying to prove the power of superior race, hitting, killing and burning hatred to engulf one another. When fear grips in, either human resort to god or anger. Anger makes a man insane but turning to God, it gives a courage to face the situation. However, one got to defend oneself because Krishna or allah do not in real come down to save lives – only the victims know their plight better. This is when one needs to deal with the unwanted emotional reactions, fear, insecurity, anger and so on. The wise spend time to resolve conflicts, confronting all the issues with courage but in case of a community clash, it spreads like wild fire and time is a factor limited and heart tearing incidents only add fuel to fire. Situation like this demands for a defuse in Conflict, to keep cool in the hottest situations which people fail to realize and the very good neighbors who lived in harmony have turned out to be the worst foes! Confrontational peace making requires a spirit of humility. There is never a basis for pride. All of us have committed sins against god some or other time and it’s the time to act for ‘forgiveness’ before it is too late. Blaming a past or a politician or nations is a different thing but forgiving what you did and what I did is a call for peace to join hands and live in harmony. God’s reputation is damaged when there is a fight for the faith. God’s reputation is damaged when people hate, kill and die. Where was god when the tragedy happened on 11th September? Now where is God when terror struck with the killings of people in godhra took a communal riot flare killing people of both communities? Where is Ram and where is Rahim in Gujarat now? Where are the politicians who rule and boast of their ruling? Matters go worst and lives at stake. Faith can move mountains, helps to sail stormy seas and fly over the distant lands but faith shatters when in the name of God, brutality and barbarism exist; when people fling stones and acid on one another; when you call act of a committed crime of mental and physical torture. Violence is everywhere and the more will strike, as fate would spell doom some day! Recent news speaks of mailbox exploding of pipe bombs attacks, bio terrorism wars and anthrax, drugs and terrorists shoot outs. This is the time to a call for ‘Defuse in Conflicts and Resolve to take action to Stop and act to save human life, mental, physical state of mind and stand tall to face a more danger situation – money crisis, poverty, food, water and environmental issues. Defuse the Flames (Conflict)

In a ‘fight or flight’
mode, people get tense and start to breathe more shallowly, depriving the brain of oxygen.
This in turn sets off a reaction, which makes the joints and muscles, work more
efficiently. As Mick Carol, a psychologist says ‘you are likely to exhibit more
aggressive body language even though you’re feeling frightened. Hence, the brain
needs a fresher air – think and make more conscious control of the situation.
