Hotep,</span>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:
"Courier New"">On a day when so many of us have
attended vigils for the slain in Christchurch, NZ, there are
three things we need to remember.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:
"Courier New"">One, we are standing on Chumash
Land, just as this heinous massacre took place on Maori
Land. To say that the 51 murdered is something new or
extraordinary in New Zealand is to forget in the 1700s
hundreds were killed in a day. And in the 1800s thousands
were erased from life in a day. A Maori priest taught us
that the correct name for the island nation is Ateroa or
Land of the Long White Cloud. But she said now Ateroa has
become New Zealand, Land of the Wrong White Crowd. Because
New Zealand was created by colonial/imperialist endeavors it
can never be free of atrocities. It is illogical for us to
expect justice on stolen land.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size:
11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:
"Courier New"">The second thing we must remember
is that the US government and her proxy kill West Asians and
Muslims every day all day. In Africa daily destruction of
land and life takes place in Somalia, Sudan, Libya. In West
Asia Muslim lives are destroyed in Palestine, Syria, and
let’s please remember the outsized genocide taking place in
Yemen with the use of US intelligence, US personnel, US
ordinance, US weaponry, etc.</span></p>

11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:
"Courier New"">Lastly, we should remember that the
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his name) clearly told us
that when we see evil, we must fix that evil with our hands.
If we cannot fix it with our hands then we must speak out
against it. If we cannot speak out against the evil then we
must pray regarding that evil. But, the Prophet reminds us,
praying is the least effective.</span></p>
