Changing Map of Humanity


The borders of war torn Middle East will force every shopkeeper around the globe to stock new updated maps.  Whether the nations will recoup the lost forts and cities from ISIS is uncertain as the night boat ride across the Aegean sea. But the recent exodus of refugees to the fenceless borders of Europe proves once again that at the end of the day what every hapless family value is freedom from tyranny, war and bloodshed, whether its in the name of power or religion. The world media is worried at the slowness of Europe’s response to the issue at hand. Media is also slowly waking up to the deadpan silence from the Muslim world, be it in Asia or Middle East.

Every country needs to have its act together before accepting a population who had a life lived in a far away country so different than theirs. The host country thereafter has to share all their resources and opportunities they have planned for their own population forever. Given the worlds experience with religion and its share of confrontation more than peaceful co existence, its natural that Europe feels threatened with a mass exodus they are witnessing now. Europe no longer marries and procreates as they used to. So the worry of a diminishing tribe of David is certain. Also Europe does not have a successful tale of assimilating migrants and asylum seekers over the last many decades. Parts of Europe are already reeling under that pressure and some streets of Europe no longer look like Europe. Natives, signboards, street food have all made way to an embolden migrant narrative.

Borders get redrawn time over and civilisations sometimes get routed forever. More than ever before, we need to allow humanity to lock faith and beliefs within the walls of a place of worship to save the freshly baked bread that welcomes the world every morning.
