Parliament today

I managed to get to Parliament today to lobby my MP John McDonnell to update on a number of domestic and international issues. In the list of things to talk about was my concern for Richard now in his 11th day of hunger strike outside the Iranian Embassy. John was unavailable so I will follow through with a letter to drop into his local office and hope we can see one another on Friday after my Dental appointment in Hayes.   

It really is getting beyond unacceptable that Iran will not release an innocent woman from prison. It feels now the UN and the International courts need to help out with this situation. You know I have studied world religions and have had a pull to Islam with enlightening time at the King George VI mosque in Regents park. Yes the Queen's father gave the land for this mosque and laid the foundation stone for it to be an educational centre for all to come and learn about Islam. There is a lovely atmosphere where all religions come and share time together. It reminds me of my time in India in Sai Baba's Ashram where all world religions came together to care and share together.  The common message to all is to be egoless, selfless merge with Gods love - Allah is Arabic for God. The message is to be compassionate have mercy and love and respect one another and all creation.  So I find it disappointing that Iranian brothers will not see the pain that they are putting this family through and respond with that mercy &  compassion. They could easily enter their hearts and see that this is not right what is happening this family. They should be together to enjoy life together.  Family is so important to us all no matter our colour and creed. it only takes a moment to think what would they feel like if their beloved wife was taken from them.  In Islam we learn the 99 names of Allah which when you examine them are the characteristics of the Universal Energy that created All and holds us all together. There is a key message that Allah is all seeing of our deeds and is compassionate. Allah is just and caring is the light of love. So I find it sad when Islamic principles are not put in action because of some delusional power ego that sadly we find in many leaders around the world... It is sad that there is no spiritual maturity to see that it is ego that creates darkness in the world not Allah, the Divine Creator. So I appeal to those brothers to open their hearts to free flow of Allahs love and have compassion to release this wife and mother, Nazanin to be with her family again.  Salem Shalom Peace Om Shanti time for man to be truly Homo Sapien Wise Men and mature in Gods Love and Peace. Time for us to be a Global Family and care for one another not hurt one another.
