Egypt in flames

---

Until the government and citizens of Egypt truly show tolerance to one another, it is very likely the violence will keep increasing and death toll will rise proportionally.

Leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mirza Masroor Ahmad says, “it is the duty of all powers to fulfil the requirements of justice and to unite together.” If the Egyptian government adhered to justice, their country would not be experiencing the violence we witness today. Thousands of lives have been taken in recent years because the governments are not willing to apply the principle of justice.

In the name of democracy, we are seeing protests resulting in mass bloodshed. As an Ahmadi Muslim in Canada, it almost seems as protests grow, the army or the government fight back and more individuals are being killed. I believe if a government is elected in Egypt democratically, they should be given an appropriate chance to try to govern and make amends within the country instead of the country erupting in violence whenever any decision is made by the government.

As Mirza Masroor Ahmad says, “if they wish to emulate democracy, they have to inculcate tolerance.” Until the government and citizens of Egypt truly show tolerance to one another, it is very likely the violence will keep increasing and death toll will rise proportionally.

The forces should adhere to justice when punishing protesters instead of mercilessly killing them. Unfortunately, fear of a massive war from Middle East is becoming a reality by the day which in-turn will disturb the peace of society at large.
