Well, if they were my own words, then I would have to concede your rebuke, and say that no, alhamdulillah, I have never lived through slaughter.
However, they are in fact words from the Holy Qur'an, the author of which is my Creator and yours.
I'm not saying that Iraqis must suffer slaughter to prove my principles right, as we on Islamica all sit comfortably in our homes typing away on our computers. But any bid for freedom, whether it be from despotic tyrants from amongst your own people, or from imperialist occupiers, requires a certain amount of striving and struggling. In the contemporary Iraqi context, this struggling and striving might result in lives lost along the way, but isn't freedom worth striving for?
Also in my view, Iraqis are being killed in the thousands anyway, as they try and go about their lives, with the imperialist boot on their necks and the sword of Iraqi gangs at their throats. If the occupiers are removed from the picture, this will relieve some of the tension, and I have full confidence that Iraqis can handle their own, however long that may take.
