The Night of the Angels

Most of the pilgrims who come for the Urus of Khwajah Gharib Nawaz are the very poor needy and most of them sleep at any available place on the streets .

Luckily it was not raining in Ajmer.


But granted they are poor , needy they dont complaint for they no all the hardships they incur for the Holy Saint they will be just fully rewarded.

They have come here so that Kjhwajah Gharib Nawaz will hear their passionate plea and remove all obstacles that stand in their way of a good and decent life.

Everywhere you go every by lane has sleeping humanity , making ends meet , most beg for food and for clothing.

The rich come here to ask for more riches and give generously to the poor feed them and give them money too.

The rich come here to escape from the threats of the Mafia dons, and with precarious ill health diabetes blood pressure hernia you name it they have it.

The Hindus are in a majority at the Holy Saints shrine , they love him and he loves them too.

And than you wake up to find that even Sufi safe havens are not safe from the terrorist and suicide bombers.

Datta Ganja Buksh Holy Shrine in Lahore killed a lot of people and caused havoc among the peaceful pilgrims.


This is the flip side of fundamentalism morbid mentality ..killing the innocent for no fault of theirs.

I passed a comment on Facebook on my picture that I copy here.


What hurts more is when Shia Shrines and Mosques or the Ahmadiya mosques are bombed it hardly matters as both sects are considered heretics by the majority of hardcore fundamental Muslims.

But when a Sufi Shrine is bombed entire humanity of Islam wakes up and even Sufism is considered heresy by the Talibans and petro powered preachers of sectarian hate.

Preachers like ... vitriolic Mehraj Rabbani of Ahle Hadeez have added fuel to fire by desecrating Sufi Saints who preached Humanity of Islam without decapitating a single head with a sword.

Today's fundamental Islam as proselytized by these hardcore tele evangelists is not what the Holy Messenger preached or the Shia Imams followed.. and practiced.

Imagine all the Imams were martyred poisoned for standing up for truth and Humanity.

And so this vindicates my position as a photo blogger who has maintained that it is Muslims who lustfully love to kill Muslims per se.
