In the days of Saddam, we had maybe 16 shootings a month. Now we have more than that every day.

When you have this number of killings every day, when you have 676 people die from shooting in a month, you're talking about mass killing. It's not civil war, but it's instability, and it's out of control.

Nobody knows who's killing whom. Even the police don't know. Everybody is vulnerable, and no part of the community is immune.

Every day, nay every moment, try to do some good deed.

He who prays five times a day is in the protection of God, and he who is protected by God cannot be harmed by anyone.

If you expect the blessings of God, be kind to His people.
