[...] Afghanistan and a drone strike in Pakistan have killed very large numbers of civilians. The first, the May 4 bombing of Bala Baluk, was a “clear war crime” in that the civilians killed by a combined three-and-a-half [...]

Dear Derrick ( and Sporkmaster )

How’s Journey to Smile? Our latest post below may describe our situation ; Sporkmaster, you’re right ; hell isn’t that in-our-face, especially if we live it.

What the screaming ‘hell’ is missing in non-violent love, truth and peace?
The Scream in Afghanistan

The world’s deep conscience is ‘screaming’ like Edvard Munch’s picture.

What the screaming ‘HELL’ is missing in non-violent love, truth and peace?

Why do all humans believe in ‘do not kill’ but still watch fellow human beings, kill, kill and KILL?

Why does love LOSE to money and power every single time?

Why do all humans crave for plain truths but cannot escape plain LIES?

Why has peace become such an abused JOKE?

Why do we sit and walk around, feel angry, want to put things right, wish for a decent living in a loving family and community but are forever STUCK, forever?

Why do ‘religions’, ‘democracies’ and ‘ideologies’ preach non-violent love, truth and peace but practice ‘hellish HYPOCRISY and silence’?

What can the great masses of people who are ‘screaming’ actually do, besides ‘screaming’?

Why?

What?

Please let us, the silently ‘screaming’ Afghan youth, know.

Please.

Please stop.

Thanks and Peace!
Hakim in Afghanistan

Hey Sporkmaster, good to hear from you. I was in San Antonio to celebrate my 6th anniversary this weekend, and I thought of you. Hope all is well.

I’m glad you brought this up. I’m working on a new post at the moment (it’s turning into a monster-sized wall-o-text lol) that relates to this, and the attempt that AQ and people like Mr. Muhammad make to speak for whole of Islam. Hope you’ll share your thoughts when I’m done with it.

Re: the shooting at the recruiting station, I remain puzzled as to the President’s silence on the issue, but I do have a theory–that he’s trying to engage in strategic communications, and attempting to frustrate the “U.S. vs. Islam” frame pushed by AQ. This is also dealt with in the upcoming post.

I started off wanting those pictures released, but now I can’t think of a good reason to publicize them. It’s not necessarily good news. I think the stories quantifying them serves the same purpose–to communicate the extent of the problem. I’m starting to think that people who want them published are a) using this as a proxy issue to contest what they see are Obama’s reversals on issues important to the progressive community, and/or b) people interested in them for their violence porn qualities.

As an aside: every once in a while I type out a title like the one on this post and cringe a little–and then I check This Ain’t Hell, and I realize my in-your-face factor is often lower than I think it is. Hope all is well.
