Mamoon, Dawood (2024): A Journey to Find God in 21st Century: One Man’s Quest for Global Peace.

Abstract

On October 7, 2023, a disdardly attack was carried out on civilian populations of Israel by Hammas injuring and killing many Israeli civilians. But what came afterwards are sheer horrors of war reminding the world of Holocaust as Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nearly paling every atrocity of groups like Hammas on Israeli civilians while Gaza was daily bombed with impunity with no regards to the lives of civilians including women and children. Nearly the whole world has taken to the streets in protest over Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Israel is the only Jewish country in the world and Philistinians who are Muslims and who have been subjugated to Jewish settlements displacing them from their home for decades also have rights to the same land esspecially that comprise many settlements. It seems religion has something to do with this conflict emanating from religious identities of the populations that reside in the lands of Israel and Philistine. Because more so this conflict has many a time engulfed the whole world as it is true that Hitler and Nazi’s specifically chose Jews out of their populations and committed war crimes against a peaceful population whose only fault was to be Jewish. And more importantly God has something to do with it as well as it no other than God, who displaced Jewish people from their homeland centuries ago. Thereby this book is dedicated to some thoughts that can help the reader to understand the futility of such conflicts in 21st century while strongly advocating that religious thoughts and spirituality has been foundational to human progress and would still be relevant in 21st century and beyond in its various manifestations. The message of every religion is peace among human civilizations and it is really meant to achieve human prosperity for every human being. Thereby human rights are supreme and every scientific and social tool should be relevant if it preserves the sanctity of life.
