Her Right Leg was Lost !

Her Right Leg was Lost !

In an advertising edition of the Mainichi Shimbun Newspaper, a picture of a five years old girl sitting on a chair was displayed.

Her right leg was lost due to the great earthquake that recently hit northern Pakistan.

When a cameraman tried to take her picture, she moved the hand to her clothing over the legs to make herself ready. Then she discovered again that her leg had gone and cried.

Later, I remembered a scene of a picture filmed or produced by an Afghan lady, which featured Kandahar. In the scene, many artificial legs were falling from the sky. There were and are still many mines and victims in Afghanistan. And some international body was, reportely, distributing artificial legs there.

There have been some coincidences, concerning the region, too significant to neglect. Al Qaeda has been somewhere around it. Coalition forces have been operating near there. Pakistan has been a focus of international analyses in terms of nuclear issues, border issues as well as terrorist issues.

As the God of those victims, including the said girl, is Allah, I hope that Allah let mercy fall on the ground of those devastated areas.

If your God is Jesus Christ, I hope that Jesus Christ let mercy fall on the ground of those devastated areas.

“Jesus, the Light of the World.”
