Too Political? Get Real!
I have spoken to some of my friends and they have told me that my blog is sometimes “too political”. I for one totally disagree. If speaking against injustices and oppression is “political” then so be it; I do not care. If you don’t resist the oppressor, you are the oppressor. I will continue to speak against all types of injustice, whether it be political, religious, social, or any other type for that matter. We need to stop sitting back, and get to work. We (Muslims) are adherents to the religion given to mankind, so this is our divine duty. We must put ourselves in a constant struggle to manifest the revolution of the Prophet (as) and the Ahlul Bayt (as) in our hearts and souls. Only then can we internally and externally bring benefit and real success to the Ummah and to the society around us.
O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. [Quran 4:135].

I am sure your friends who have stated that agree that you should continue to speak against such injustices. Perhaps they want to hear more about YOU and YOUR life. Maybe that’s what they meant? I am just guessing!! Maybe you can give your blog some variety. Talk about happy things too! Talk about things that make you wonder!

We must speak out against oppression.
Too many people are unwilling to speak truth to power.
The difficult part is, however, “desisting, when the other party desists.” I know some people who go way past the point of their limits…then it becomes revenge.
Even Imam Ali forbade anyone to seek revenge by torturing the man who tortured and killed him with a poisoned sword.
But I haven’t seen any posts on your blog that could be considered excessive.
Keep up what you’re doing, as far as I’m concerned.
