Our Soft Voice - Views on Islam

This was written in the voice of the Muslim Children throughout the world.

by Kamillah Khan

In the Quietness of our thoughts,
Allah is so close.
The gates of heaven open –
Our cries are heard,
Peace, Tranquility surround our souls.
In death we have paradise waiting –Isha-Allah
You call us terrorist without knowing who we are,
Blaming us for injustice.
You give us no rights as human beings,
Nor do you care that we are dying,
Or that our stomachs ache from hunger,
You turn your backs.You claim that we deserve destruction – genocide,
Someone hurt your country and killed numerous people,
We did not do it,
We had no part,
I have empathy for your pain, your suffering, and your loss.
For I know how it feels,
I have pain, suffering, and loss everyday of my life,
You call us terrorist without knowing who we are,
Now your Bombs are exploding – fire from the sky,
Ripping through our lives.
Wrongs are wrongs no matter who you are.
We are the Innocent Muslim Children of
Afghanistan,
Palestine,
Bosnia,
Iraqi,
Lebanon.
Does anyone care in the West about OUR LIVES?
Listen to Our Soft Voice as We Cry.
In the Quietness of our thoughts,
Allah is so close, 
The gates of heaven open
