This is Islam
the colors of peace
humanity show
each man
face to face with god
in every row
a message
head bowed grows
as the winds of humility
kiss the laden bough
sometimes i wonder
why muslims kill muslims
although children of the
same god the followers
of the same holy book
a messenger
a path he made us follow
the poor muslim women
standing waiting for
charity upclose
the haves and the have nots
from my poetic heart arose
we were supposed to be equal
we are not sud afsos sud afsos
sectarian hate sectarian envy
sectarian disharmony
on the Islamic soul ploughs
for the future of the unborn child
will he be a suicide bomber
a fear that eats the mother
a path for her child
she never chose
misguided martyrdom
misguided jihad
eunuch silence
no raised eyebrows
the collective soul of our community in coma in deep repose

This is my new set at Flickr dot com, I was just in time to shoot this , God assisted me in a way I was late , and had to cut through various slum lanes to reach here , but than taking a short cut got me pictures of the Eid Namaz at Noorani Masjid which are part of my Bakra Idd set also at Flickr..
I had a call from Pratik Koli and a message from Satish Malavade I missed both of them shooting from the Bandra skywalk, later walked down and being barefeet I shot from within where the men prayed something no photo journalist can do ..
There was luckily no Idd Hugging pictures this time , and the journos were missing where the Bandra poster boys and a single girl sat.
I shot the Muslim beggars they are the only one that never ever get to celebrate both the Idds.
And this series after it gets over I will add the goat slaughter pictures I shot adding it to my Bakra Idd set .
So this was a tough shoot as the diabetic ulcers on my right hand hurt me badly , and I rested did not go out even to shoot the bull slaughter .

the sacrificial goat
is humility but
the butcher is king
razor sharp blade
demanding
death where
is thy sting
a thought
on wings
says something
the butcher
the master
of the ring
showmanship
some bling

life a burden
give and take
even what was
created crafted
as original mutated
to became fake
a fake man made
that even god as
an original could
not make
no not the hijras
for god sake
ebb and flow
rise and fall
heart break
no big shake
if there was no
politics or politicians
the world would
need no wars
only peace for
peace sake
the soul of
humanity
eyes shut
half awake
dead fishes
floating
in the lake
wrords in
silence
forgotten
once zarthusthra
spake
adam and eve
garden of evil
the goodness
wisdom of the snake

I was very late rushing through the slums to shoot the Idd Namaz at Bandra Station Road , but I ended up shooting the Noorani Masjid Idd Namaz than moved ahead through slum lanes and finally reached the skywalk just in time to shoot the Idd Namaz at the station, I was barefeet but in bad shape due to diabetic ulcers on my camera shooting hand.
I returned back through the slums showered and took my grand daughter Marziya who will be 3 years old this month , she shot the goats being slaughtered and a few hijras too as I have hidden her pictures from public view you wont be able to see them at all.
Marziya s not queasy about blood having shot Moharam scourging etc..
She watches my Chelum Kama Matam on You Tube everyday..
The Hijab Indomitable Spirit of Muslim Womans Faith
The Hijab Indomitable Spirit of Muslim Womans Faith, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
clinging to her wizened
soul like a second skin
the only symbol
of a muslim womans
inner strength
her heritage
her ancestry
that sarkozy
pride and pumpkin
could not throw into
a recycling bin
a battle he will never win
political machinations
the Frenchman's
original sin
the hijab indomitable
spirit of muslim
womans faith
through thick and thin
the silhouette
of spirituality
from within
a headscarf
held by a hairpin
a garment of modesty
no trade in
the hijab
the nuns habit
both religious symbols
bilateral twin

For three days from tomorrow the Muslims will slaughter goats cattle for three days consecutively ...for Idd Ul Udha.
Kids will once again dress up in new clothes and hang around for the butchers to come and cut the goats.
Blood will flow freely in most of the Muslim housing colonies and the slums.
I will shoot the Idd Namaz and than shoot the slaughter of gats in the slum close to my house and I walk barefeet my feet kissing the blood that flows appeasing the soul of man through god and animal sacrifice.
My wrist has not healed and my diabetic ulcer on my right hand has made my life miserable but I shot a few street shots of goats and the Bandra compound , and as I exited from the slums I caught the Hijras of Bandra station road signal and these are real wild ones one of them hates photographers like the plague..
