We Are United // نحن متحدون

We are // sick of living in a place with so much injustice, anger, intolerance and violence. There is hope for a future in which we, and in which our children, might have peace, freedom, security and prosperity. For us to get to that better future we have to stand against broken thinking.

We must now take our stand against hatred.

We know that repression and violence as a means of religious dominance or political control is futile and shameful. There is no honour in this way. It is bad religion. It is crooked politics.

We are // looking to a brighter future in which we’ve grasped hold of old truths and principles which show the way to live harmoniously with those who hold differing beliefs.

We don’t need to agree with each other. We can disagree profoundly. We can argue and persuade. But we can respect each other and behave as civilised people.

We know that we are // them and they are us. We all have a right to live peacefully in accordance with our beliefs. This is dignity. This brings stability. This brings peace.

This is the future we are // demanding. We Are // United.
