Religion, Violence And Oppression: And The Misunderstanding Of The Trio -By Abdulrahman Yunusa

“Religion is the opium of the masses” Karl Marx.

Its and undisputed fact to almost all the reasonable beings except to the vary few number of self anointed men ” Atheist ” thriving in this entity called world that religion is an established ordained principles meant to regulate the affairs of men and women who have been created to mingle with each other and ensure perpetual existence justice and fair play within the socioeconomic and political affairs of their lives. However, in spite of that, there are some certain gluttonous people who have an excessive love for trouble and wealth and lack the human sympathy which such monstrous and cankerous features gave them chance to subjugate and plunder the weaker ones all the name of wealth accumulation. So in that regards they pay no attention to whatever religion bring rather they even chose to pay those fake clerics and confer them a wrongful religious ways which will have them way to keep launching their drastic and draconian gesture toward their friends.

Historically onset the inception of the cosmos ( World ) the topic of War became an order of the day to which almost all the mighty empireres he have heard about or we came to witness to this very moment it was as the virtual outcome of the dirty war affairs of the ancient time. Right from the Paleolithic age down to Neolithic there world has been personified as the home of evil consisted of very rare number of saint folks to which their actions of pacifism took us to where the world its today.

Its Factual that the first battle to take a place in this sinful world was that of dual rivalry that took place between the Sons of prophet Adam who has been scripturally coined as the father of all living and death human. There conflict it was on the basis of ” Hassada ” which resulted to the brutal killing of one among the two, there names is yet to be disclosed due to some debates about the authenticity of it but some great men among the past scholars of History hold an opinion that I was Qabil and Habil. So whatsoever, their names are, its not as that paramount that we should vest our precious time and energy while arguing toward figuring the names, all that matters is the event so to marks the beginning journey of the world.

Religion has never and will never be an excuse to wage a war against others who do not shared same belief with or to create a un enabling environment among the societies of the world or to create a bugaboo atmosphere within the most respectful creature of the just dirty, rather some hidden factors to which we can include excessive love and hatred for and against one tribe and envy of others might by partially or strongly included defending of how the sound and well crafted the research is.

Since the beginning of 21st century, if not all but most of the tumultuous violence which are been wrapped with the regalia of religious fanaticism is outrightly not rather the violence instigators have a covert agendas behind everything evil thriving in the frame of religion.

Ethnicity and excessive love of profit ” wealth creation ” couple with hegemonic craving infatuation are what has been considered by the wise folks as incessant driven force of each and every ever continuing mayhems and conflictual interest we do have in today’s world. But to our great surprise people mostly 75% often mistake it as a battle for God sake which is not in reality. Rather only few men that crave absolute dominance against majority in every realm of life .

Few are only accessible to the fact that the famous concept of ” Social Strata ” is nothing but a charade that have deliberately created to hoodwink those with low IQ and keep believing on what the agent of dooms and merchants of dead and misery are preaching through the micro phone of democracy and capitalism embedded with liberal ideology that happened to be the strong bridge upon which all the satanic plans are being mastermind.

In a nutshell there is nothing like tripartite class division in modern world where beast are freely wandering and happily wallowing in the cage where the entire human being ( Plebians ) are being seen as an instruments of oppression by the elites meaning those men that constituted the class of ” Have “. Sadly, the sense of humanity has been lost over years to the detriment of evil wealth and power creation and generation.

Although some might erroneously think that there is a little flame being ignited by the stick and the flame of religion fanaticism which is not in a true sense rather all are being used as a cover up materials used by monstrous folks called politicians be it nationally or internationally. Perhaps, to start with the inner case will be very vital. So to cite the prolong war between Southern part of Nigeria and that of Northern part is nothing that has to do with Religious belief or has any strong or weak link to any belief talkless but it was designated withing the frame of the battle of leadership mantle and economically triggered casual business among the co-Elites of our dear country .

Furthermore when we tend to step our dirty legs outside our jury and to have sight upon the ugliest picture of modern international war, we can initialize our study by citing Israel Palestine everlasting war which have succeeded in dividing the world in to two giants groups which are ” Semitist and Antisemitis ” and if we critically ponder to the causes of their rivalry we shall eventually reach at a juncture where it will provide us with a fact beyond reasonable doubt that religion has no say in the game entirely. Likewise when we dive in to the matter of Iran and Saudi we can also fathom that there is nothing playing a significant role in the bloody game of rivalry between the duo than the matters of international politics and diplomacy.

So I think we shall in sooner time come to realize that the world has no other conflictual as well as conteous religion, dialect, race or tribe than that of ” Masses and Elites, Bourgeoisie and proletariat, Baron and plebian, Slave and Masters and rich and poor/ Rif-raff ” . Those with the actual power at hand and the purchasing power tool ( Money ) always create a strong union and share all such social situations between themselves where as the marry within their circle, study in their jury, dine in a same table and crack jokes amidst of their well apprehended circle of aristocrats.

And for the fact that the concept of ” Jihad ” in modern Islamic dictionary would never be translate as the way of lauching a war or waging a war against any non Islamic believing doctrine rather a systematic and philosophical way of purifying one self through the accumulation of knowledge treasure and it proper application in our daily basis. Concomitantly likewise to the christian doctrine, in short there is no religion on earth that has a nexus with Abrahamic teaching that advocated war or unhealthy rivalry between two or more parties because what they entails and thought deeply was a peace ” Salama ” in all of it truest form.

More so with respect to that hot matter, the parties involved in making the religion context to be atmospherically peaceful and in the eyes of everyone are those highly revered sheikhs, let alone the intellectually rich ones among each and every sect come and have a meaningful session on how to bring and everlasting harmony to the chaotic world of ours, meanwhile, they can only achieve that through extirpating the alien text and religious injections from our semi-educated communities and they can also triumph against religious violence by rechecking as well as modifying some jurisprudence stance that’s has a conflictual view with the nature of modern world but only if it would not negatively affect our utmostly respected faith. Same should be done to our counterparts Christians ans other religions bearing Abrahimic doctrine and practices, then with that we can be able to eliminate the plight of exacerbating nuisances which are always dragging our societies back.

So, until we Question our hate mongering preaching clerics to what extent does the omnipotent , omnipresent and the most merciful creator ” Holy God ” attached religious thoughts to teach and admonished us to brandish a weapon or to big the drum of inter religious, ethnic, economic and political war against our friends which we share divergent belief ? then if they honestly respond to our questions therein we will find out that there is nothing like conflict being adhered by the holy scriptures rather the selfishness of our charlatan men of God that throw us in the hole of misery and adversaries and we would never come out with a clean hands.

Note : Religion has no link, weak or strong with anything unethical practices not to talk of having correlation with violence and oppression, all that religion teaches is peace and justice. So, anyone that appears to be in contrary to that he must be representing something not religion in it true form.

Please, let us thrive in a jake and witness the massive social transformation.
