I relucantly went to Jumma last week and in the dua, typically the Imam was saying stuff like...
Oh Allah... protect the Muslims in the World
Oh Allah... protect the Muslims in Pakistan
Oh Allah... protect the Muslims in India
Oh Allah... give the Muslims victory wherever they are
Oh Allah... wherever the Muslims are suffering, remove all their hardship and suffering
Oh Allah... give Muslims health
It was all Muslims Muslims Muslims! I obviously didn't say "ameen" to any of that.
I don't have that stupid "us vs them" mentality. I wish EVERY human being well. I want to remove the suffering of ALL human beings.
On a side note, at my cousins wedding last year the Imam did a dua and he said...
Oh Allah... give this couple the same love that Muhammad had for Khadija
Oh Allah... give this couple the same love that Muhammad had for Aisha
Instead of saying "ameen", I wanted to scream out..... "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
