Let's say/do "Not in my name"

We are a group of youth who are not alone. We call our brothers and sisters to know and change what happens globally, all around the world. The hatred and segregation between people on basis of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, skin color and other social definitions that ignite hate and cruelty toward other human beings.


It happens in your hometowns, cities, villages, neighborhood, offices, clubs, streets, fields and every where else. But it has to stop now! We can't shake out of disgust and loathe every time we hear words of racism, sexism and other otherist so called philosophies. We know your governments or your leaders, or your managers keep the status quo and won't rage or do anything against this basic violation of this natural human right to just be.


We are all citizens of this globe and I hope you as me gonna stand up and say: "Not in my name!"


Lately, the raging xenophobic crowds against immigrants and refugees and the racists statements and actions against arabs where I live made me realize this situation is not gonna change and due the fact. I'm just one individual among millions of haters in this world I still have to make a stand. I don't accept these notions and actions! I disagree with this hatred! And since nothing is not really happening against stopping it I hereby shout out through the net that I disagree to it and I am not a part of it! This is not happening in my name!
Since I know it happens every where in all shapes and forms of ignorance and hate I bet you can relate to it and if you feel like I do as:


I won't be a part of these raging hateful propagandas against "social groups"! I won't take part in this hateful organised violence against other human beings! I won't be a part in this hatred! Whatever our governments/leaders choose to do or ignore while radical hateful groups are doing under their umbrella to other people, it is not in my name!


*These words above shared with Keren from Tel Aviv. Thanks to her.http://generalizethat.blogspot.com/


I quoted this words from Sami Yusuf Song which it is in the same name "Not in my name"


Is not enough what you've done?
With all the bloodshed you've caused
Yet you greed drives you on
In your brutal race for acquisition
No land is left untouched
Driven by a vile ambition
To have the whole world in your clutch
Every new single addition
To your slave colony
Dose nothing to dull your ambition
To leave no nation free
It is indeed a sad condition that you suffer from
This itching desire for a prime position
To have all under your thumb


I warn it's time to take heed
One day you'll find yourself pursued
By every person you've made bleed
You thought they'd been subdued
You were wrong
They been freed
Against your evil methods of violence and intimidation
against your hijacking and misinterpretation
I shout with billions in this demonstration
God bless you  Sami Yusuf. http://www.samiyusufofficial.com/

If you feel the same, and willing to leave "Not in my name!" statement as well. leave a comment beneath this post. I know it's pretty optimistic to say.. but if you could spread it out all over the web, throughout your relatives and friends and they could do the same, we actually might make a change.


We are the team of Not in my name, let's say "Not in my name!"
