Not my God

Today, March 23rd, 2016, I'm celebrating my 33rd Birthday. I've been waiting quite a long time for this day to come and honestly, I've been looking forward to it. That's because it's been years since I wasn't admitted to a psychiatric clinic or that I was feeling as good as now. However, my birthday is completely overshadowed by what happened yesterday at Brussels' airport Zaventem and underground station Maalbeek, also in Brussels. Those cowards from IS have killed 34 innocent people and more than 230 victims are still in hospitals all over the region. Some are still fighting for their lives. I have no words for these terrorist attacks...

Yesterday I woke up quite late in the morning. First thing to do in the morning: breakfast with a quick glance at Facebook. Unsuspectingly I opened my Facebook page and this is what I saw: 


My first thought: "No, this can't be true! No attacks in Belgium! Please God, no no no!" 
Unfortunately, a quick look at the news page showed me the undeniable truth: Brussels under attack! That was around 11 AM. Back then, it was unknown how many people had died and how many were injured, nor who had done it. Only later did we learn that 34 people had died and that more than 230 people had been transported to various hospitals in the region. Some are still fighting for their lives. Also, it had been announced that IS had taken responsibility for the bombing attacks. Those cowards, again! Killing innocent people, why? What's their purpose? 


I notice that all these terrorist attacks led by muslims are wearing heavy on my mind. I do know that not every muslim is a terrorist, but it looks like every terrorist is a muslim nowadays. I'm not a racist, nor a xenophobe, but I'm getting enough of it, to be honest. There is a slight possibility that today's suicide bombers were guys who had fought in the Syrian war. If only they had stayed in their own country! I'm getting irritated by those muslims that don't adapt themselves. And I don't know why, but when I'm outside, just strolling through the city, it seems that there are more and more of them, day after day. And what's even worse, it are these muslims that make us, christians, adapt ourselves to them, which seems so f*cking unfair to me. An example: to welcome a group of muslim fugitives in a christian building, people decided to put away all the crosses, in order to make the muslims feel more at home. How ridiculous is this?! Why do we put away our proper signs of our belief away? I mean, they won't certainly take off their kerchief?! 


Europe has been too tolerant with muslim terrorists and - if you ask me properly - with muslims in general. If they come here and they dress normally, they speak the country's language, send their children to school, participate in an activity in the society, well then I don't see any reason why they can't stay. And why not, they can maintain their religion, but they should it incorporate in our way of living. And if that means that they can't slaughter their sheep without anesthetics, well then they have to accept that, those are the rules WE have and they should just stick with these rules and not make a fuzz about it!


Still, I want to go back to their religion, their belief if you like that better. Is Allah really such a good god? Or should we put that in doubt? I haven't read the Koran, but I am reading the Bible. My God is not Allah. My God is a god of love. He loves his children, each and every one of them. He asks His children to divulge this message of love. He is not a god of war. However, if Allah really was a god of war, revenge, destruction etc., every muslim would be a terrorist. I think that those muslims we see on the news and all those who claim to be terrorists are no muslims at all, but just some perverts going loose and using Allah as an excuse to rectify their disturbed minds and actions. Actually, I think that many muslims will have to admit that, if these muslim terrorists claim that Allah guides them in their heads, Allah is not their god. In any case, he is not my God, because my God is a god of love, and that's exactly the message I want to divulge here: not my God! My God would never push me to kill other people in His name, He would never allow that! Therefore:
