selective justice

"Due to the prevalence in the world today, of the false
belief that some forms of life are superior to others,
all such life - that has been deemed inferior, (and
merely perceived as existing to be exploited and
subjugated to human desires) - has been pushed to the
point of extinction in some cases, while in others the
lives of the oppressed have become as a virtual cog in
the machine that perpetuates such tyranny, generation
after generation. This underlying theme that supposed
inherent superiority of the powerful over those who
lack current means of resistance, is sowing societies
own downfall through ecological destruction,
patriarchy, slavery, animal exploitation, racism and
the list goes on. These problems can not be solved
through single issue causes which only address the
symptoms of the problem rather than its root
causation. Such principles of selective justice continuously fail to realize that oppression is oppression whether wrought upon a member of a different race, nationality, gender or species. 

So long as people continue to believe that they are above the Higher Law of Allah, that governs the entire Universe – so long as division is conceived of in the minds of men - then oppression and injustice will continue to exist on all levels.

We must stress that connection between the underlying root of injustice, and similarly propose a solution that is unified against oppression on all fronts.

While an individual for “animal rights” might oppose
injustice to other species, they most often will deny
those same basic rights of life and freedom to a
member of their own species within its mother’s womb.
Or vice versa, those who most often fight for the
liberties of the unborn will deny those same basic
rights to others they feel no affinity towards.
This sort of selective justice can not help but fail
to address the root of the problem with modern
society; that being mankind’s false notions of
alienation from the Unity of existence and their lack
of faith in Allah. It is this lack of faith that
causes them to wall themselves off from the rest of
the world, which they don’t understand in the least.
It is this lack of faith which leads them to create
such a vast spectrum of social injustices, each of
which are single issues symptoms of their alienated
sickness. Therefore it is imperative that we address
this, the root of the moral discord, which permeates
the modern world, or we will be destined to fail
miserably in any effort to bring about positive
change. Both internally and externally, this is the
War we must fight."
