a mail,,please read it..its form jean:

dear khalid -
grieving and mourning mean the same thing: to feel the sadness of loss. moaning is a cry of pain, stronger than sobbing or crying. i'm sure people at the uni were both grieving and moaning. the whole world has gone insane.
and you are right, there will always be people of strength & wisdom to teach the rest of us the right way. all "they" have proved is that it doesnt matter how weak the body is, only how strong the mind is & how clear the voice that speaks it. words are so dangerous in these times - because of the media & the internet. words can travel instantly around the world, not just creep slowly from town to town, person to person.
it makes me moan. "they" know if "they" kill someone, more will arise & will seek revenge. "they" welcome this - "they" can kill more at one blow(usually)than their enemies. "they" can kill on a daily basis and "they" do - so more revenge. how could this all have started because boys threw stones at tanks? it's so wrong. if you have to, throw a stone back, but dont shoot them! dont kill people for throwing stones! especially if you are in a tank & they are barefoot on the streets of ruins.
in this instance, "they" stands for israel. but when i see the pictures on the net of things happening in iraq, i think US is "they," too. you cant win the "hearts & minds" of a people by breaking into their homes & forcing them to kneel, blindfolded, in front of soldiers & their own families.
someday, inshallah, there will be peace.
