A Childs Fairy Tale

We did not have kindergartens and preschools that time in my town. I attended a Quran room in one mosque with other children to read holly Quran. I completed two primary books of verses and learned how to read and write. I could possibly weep while reading Quran and I obsessed by the complete mercy in the verses.

However, the Sheikh; and that was the teacher of Quran on that room called Khalwa was not. He treated us badly. He used to slap us on the bottom of our feet until we cry of pain.

I imagined that time while I or other children crying, I imagined that the God came with his long beard from the sky and took him from his ear all the way to the sky saying to him, this is not the way to teach children Quran. You have no mercy, so you should go to fire.

A Child's Fairy Tale is NOT about Quran! It is about those who misuse Quran and exploit it to enforce political and economical dominations over the poor innocent traditional Muslims! It is also a personal diary to write about the insanity in that world.

You will read about the following:

The dialogue between the Pen and the Gun!

This is logical, as we absolutely need the PEN instead of the GUN to make the world better.

I indulged in the inspiration of this article when John Kennedy was shot dead in 1964. I hated the gun that day. The scene opened my mind to write better. In my memory, the incident seems as a fairy tale.

On that same date, my language teacher encouraged me and nurtured me while he was reading some stories from the international literature by Oscar Wild, Charles Dickens and others. When there should be oral tales, I should be the first pupil to speak in front of the class.

At the age of nine, I was a fluent speaker in the school. I made imaginary tales about different things that aimed towards supporting poor people.

Why Secularism is a solution?

This is the second topic in the Child's Fairy Tales. It is about that some Muslims think secularism is illegal in what they believe and it is forbidden. However, I do not think so, simply because being a secular is better than being a fundamentalist. Secularity keeps people rational when they come to religions. There should be respect to all beliefs of course even when people come to discuss the differences between these beliefs.

Well, I have not arrived at the Child's Fairy Tales yet.
