and yes it is silly, we all share the air we breathe, have the same necessities, feel the same emotions. Whether you acknowledge it or not, we are the same people.
You're distantly related to a lot of people who may not be muslims in the world. Religion brings similar people together, it does not make the different people less human.

I fail to see see how its less human for Afzal to be concerned about muslims more than non-muslims in the cyclone hit areas as his family, relatives and friends live there.
Dont you just love being self-righteous and measure peoples level of humanity by mere words rather than actions as if you were some sort of a god?...such judgmental attitude leads one to become a bigot..

I agree with what you're saying...in principle we shouldn't argue over it.
but bluestar was accusing Afzaal of being inhuman for being less concerned about non muslims...are you justifying her judgment?
