I had a doubt. I did a search online to get confirmation and found this info.
"The life of human beings began with the creation of two people, a male and a female named Adam and Hawwa (Eve)."
and,
"From these two individuals, generations of human beings have inhabited the earth. "Oh humankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured among you in the sight of Allah is the who is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)" (49:13)."
Ok, here is my view. If we all began from the same source, why do we then need to have the term "prince of the land", and accord special privileges to them? In the first place they all happen to come from other places a few hundred years or even tens of years earlier than the rest. If the entire population is considered to be from the creation of the One, why this mad pre-occupation to use race as the supreme divisive factor to justify dominance over others? Isnt this, as usual, another act of supreme hypocricy purely to justify holding on to political power and selfish accumulation of personal wealth at the expense of the masses?
I have come across some radical ones online who professed the idea that theres no room for race or nationalism. Everything has to be looked at from the religion grouping. I find it difficult to accept such a thought, for i would think nationalism would be the best starting point. You belong to a country. And you look at everything from the "country" point of view. Religion would be between you and your Maker. A personal relationship. Naturally if you commit a criminal offence, you cant hide behind that argument and you must be judged by your fellow humans.
These are just thoughts that came to mind this morning. How contradictory some issues in life are. Am no philosopher, neither a politician wannabe. With such thoughts in mind, I am just putting them into written form. Perhaps one fine day to be thought about and discussed deeper with the right wise persons.
On the above, if the divisive factor was religion, i wouldnt have an issue with it.
We're not even going to talk about the world being one village, WTO, free trade blah blah blah.
I must get away from all this and get high.
