Please, if you are for peace, go to the link and just listen. We want peace. Our children want peace. The world needs peace. I know I'm just a small voice, and that I don't make a huge difference, but still, just a small one the size of an atom is worth it. Who else feels this?

Thank you, Fafa, for bringing this to my attention. It's a heartwarming video.

Answer 1

As salaamu 'alaikym warahmatullahi wabaraktu.

Each one matters.

Each one is part of all others, of everything that exist, living in interdependence upon all else that is.

Each one is the soil, the water, the air, the clouds and the snow and rain, the sunshine and the moonlight.
Each is the gentle breeze and the hurricane.
Each is the birds song and the silence of the stars.
Each is a child's laughter and an old man's tears.

Separation is an illusion.

All are one.

Each matters.

When one changes, all change.

Let us each breathe, live and be peace.
Let us each change.
The universe will change with us.

May it be well with you as you are everyone.

Answer 2

How wonderful peace would be, but peace doesn't keep the churches, synagogues and Mosques full of frightened people imploring God/Allah to save them from all the hate. This is a jaded outlook, but it is basic economics applied the the big business of religion.

I for one am a Pagan and I have felt the distrust from the Christian religion and I do not know where Muslims stand on Pagans and Witches. I know all religions have their connections to the mystical, but as I say I don't know much about your religions take on us.

I'll look at the movie and see what is happening. Thank you.

Answer 3

True peace can only be achieve if v have the solution of long standing disputes of over HALF A CENTURY like Palestine, Kashmir & now Chechnya,Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq.
For this every one of us should work hard, we should use media to make the leaders of the world realize that PLEASE resolve these issues, for how long u want every one to die.
No compulsion in religion:
"Let there be no compulsion in religion:
Truth stands out clear from error"
[Al-Qur’an 2:256]
Sword of the Intellect.
It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125:
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord
with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
and argue with them in ways that are
best and most gracious."
[Al-Qur’an 16:125]
May Allah help & guide us all, Amen’.

Answer 4

It's high time a new peace and love movement got underway. Peace and love will be resurrected even if this generation fails to do it, I believe it's most people's fondest desire and that's in line with God's will.

Answer 5

absolutely ,we definitely need peace.war and prejudice and greed and hate are evils the world does not need.the more people that want peace the better and the quicker it becomes a reality..some how killing for peace seems strange to me.,like in iraq

Answer 6

they did not work in the late 60's and early 70's, the only thing that will work to restoring peace is the removal of an ignorant red neck from office, it would only be a beginning, but I think it would be a good start.

Answer 7

Altruism, compassion, patience, all together work towards peace. It can be from any religion, etc. it just takes one to want to be altruistic, compassionate, patient and so on.

Answer 8

F**k peace. I don’t want peace. I wanted this war six years ago, and I want it now. I really don’t know who to be more afraid of: the terrorists who seek to destroy us, or the politically insane and pseudo-intellectuals that seek to validate their opinions and agendas. For decades America has had a foreign policy of appeasement towards terrorists and the nations who harbor those persons. The result has been to welcome their continued aggression. For decades America has sought to negotiate with these criminals at gunpoint. For decades we have known which countries have given shelter and support to terrorists. It is now time for Americato pronounce a judgment of guilt, and a sentence of death on such regimes. Terrorists and supporting nations cannot be allowed to murder Americans and get away with it any longer. We have every right to defend ourselves, and we should be doing it unrestrained and unhindered. (Yes, I know innocent people in targeted nations will die. I accept that. If they did not fight against their government and choose to remain under such conditions, then I do not distinguish them from the terrorists.) As many people in America did, I reacted with the mixed emotions of shock and anger at the attacks of 9/11, but most of all a feeling of having been violated. I resolved that day that I would not bend over and take it; not in my backyard. As soon as I graduated high school at the age of seventeen, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as Tank Crewman. I served a fifteen month tour of duty in Iraq, doing my best to keep the promise that I made to myself, a promise I still keep today. Thus I do not agree at all with the peacenik neo-hippies who think we should respond with restraint and compromise. The time for restraint has long since passed. You cannot compromise with madmen. As a friend of mine so eloquently said, "When a thief is in your house wanting to steal everything, you do not offer him half. You defend your property." This goes for America. How much more of America needs to be destroyed before the politically insane realize that this war is the only way? Wake up to reality. America was viciously attacked and its citizens slaughtered. I was angry then, and I'm angry now. I don’t ever want to forget this anger or relent in any way. America needs to be angry. America needs to embrace absolute hatred of those who seek our destruction. Praying and protesting for peace is not a solution or sign of solidarity. Complacency got us into this, and won't get us out. America has to send a clear message that we will not tolerate terrorism on our shores. Right now, America’s military is not making headway in Iraq. It is hamstrung by the PC machine that wants victory only if we can do it without a single civilian death, without a single dead soldier, and if we look like saints in the process. F**k that. You either want to see terrorism and harboring nations beaten with the wrath of freedom-loving peoples, or you want the whip of the Islamo-Fascist regime on your back. America needs to immediately recognize its value as a civilization of individual rights and have the courage to fight and defend those freedoms, whether the rest of the goddamn world wants it or not.
