Our Divine Obligation: Defending Human Rights

With the historic development in Pakistan this week in the global fight against terrorism, many of us have had a reason to look inward, to look at our own sense of right and wrong.

Every person on our planet deserves to live in peace and security, to enjoy the human rights that are part of the universe's natural order.

The terrorists' cruelty wants to diminish the liberties we enjoy, robbing us of our natural rights. When we travel, we are now forced to endure intrusive searches. Fear and uncertainty consume our energy and time.

And so many have lost their lives.

The mechanisms for the US Navy SEALs' courageous mission were initiated long ago by its very subject. America did not choose the event in Abbottabad. 

Rather, it is part of the terrorist lifeline. A destructive threat that seeks to wipe out life is contrary to the laws of the universe. 

It is our divine obligation to defend our human rights and freedom. Human dignity does not take a back seat to atrocities against humanity. 

Really, there is no justice in the global war against terror. A life lost does not bring back the victims.

But this isn't about right or wrong. It's about mankind's divine will to survive.
