Mukemmel Musalman Quotes

― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“More muslims die from Islamist extremism than any other people. So don't you dare tell me, Islam is the same as Islamism! Islam is a people, Islamism is a sickness, just like Christianity is a people, Christian nationalism is a sickness - Hinduism is a people, Hindutva is a sickness - Atheism is a people, militant atheism is a sickness. And unless the peaceloving humans from each of these communities reach out to one another with a hand of integration, the nutcases from each of these communities will drag us all down the road of death and despair.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Human mind has not evolved to find peace,
It has evolved to be anxious, insecure and panic.

To the predator you shall end up as dinner meat.”

“The Human Animal (A Sonnet)

The civilized know how uncivilized they are,
The uncivilized insist on being deemed civilized.
The victor knows the fallacy of being the victor,
The wise knows there is no such thing as being wise.
The real human is aware of their inhuman predispositions,
While the inhuman fails to acknowledge all primitive bent.
And there is no question of the rise of civilization,
If there is no question of questioning the self.
The animal is animal for it lacks the brain capacity,
For self-correction beyond the need of self-preservation.
But more animal than animal is the so-called human being,
That despite having the brains, fails to act in ascension.
It is no human that does not know how animal they are.
The animal becomes human, the moment it becomes aware.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“You are your own guardian angel, you are your own tempting demon. You gotta decide, will you give in to predispositions, or chart the course of ascension!”

“Not Evolved For Peace (The Sonnet)

Human mind has not evolved to find peace,
It has evolved to be anxious, insecure and panic.
In the jungle once you let your guard down,
To the predator you shall end up as dinner meat.
Which means to be at peace and to make peace,
We gotta go against our most natural tendency.
We gotta nourish the feeble spark of civility within,
To transform the norm from cruelty to humanity.
Biologically, cruelty is our first nature,
And that's where all the trouble begins.
We gotta know we are more animal than human,
To discover ways to tame the animal inklings.
Human mind may not have evolved to be at peace.
But if we are willing to be the civilized anomaly,
slowly but surely we shall foster all necessary peace.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Keep your belief if you must, but keep it as belief, not as truth - that is, keep it only, and only, as a personal truth, and not a supreme truth. Contrary to tradition, this doesn't make your truth inferior to that of others, instead this seemingly simple behavior of the human mind paves the way for an actual world of peace - a world where more personal truths can coexist in harmony without belittling each other.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Civil Discourse (The Sonnet)

Be a friend to the just,
But a parent to the unjust.
There is no place for hate,
Restrain the hater, but do not hurt.
The paradigm of revolution needs reform,
We must make it grow out of cruelty,
For cruelty is not the cure for cruelty,
We must treat it with the light of sanity.
It is a sad state of affairs when,
Violence becomes a part of civil discourse.
How can we possibly call ourselves civilized,
If mere disagreement breaks out into violent uproars!
So I repeat, cruelty is not the answer to cruelty.
Work to destroy hate without destroying the human spirit.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Neighbors before ancestors.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“Be the proof of integration,
Against all caution ancestral.
Those who peddle division belong,
In a sanitarium, not on a pedestal.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“It doesn't matter whether you are muslim, christian, jew or atheist. It doesn't matter whether you are black, white, brown or martian. If you have love in your heart and kindness in your hands, then you are human. But if your existence is anemic of love and kindness, then no matter how human you look, and how many Sundays and Fridays you spend at the church or the mosque, you ain't no human.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

“If vandalism were activism,
Insurrection was patriotism.
If Jan 6 is deemed patriotism,
9/11 was divine intervention.
If 9/11 is deemed a divine act,
Hate is but an act of holiness.
If hate is ever deemed holiness,
That is the end of all common sense.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

― Abhijit Naskar, Mukemmel Musalman: Kafir Biraz, Peygamber Biraz

No need to answer. Just think.”
