We have been taught about environment and peace before you.

Global warming and nuclear weapon have dominated the world news, especially after United Nation ( UN ) assembly last month. It is clear that the world society have demanded their leaders to cope seriously these threats since its may lead to catastrophic to human and natural.

Global warming is described as the rising of earth’s temperature. Years by years, our earth has became hotter than before, especially after 1950, its temperature has increased significantly. Actually, global warming is not only about temperature, but what people scare is the impacts of this phenomena such as the rising of sea level. Moreover, the dramatic change of weather threaten the survival of species. The crops would not reap and consequently many animals will extinct too. As the result, human being will face the serious problem of food.

Meanwhile, the nuclear weapon also declared as the serious threat to the world. This arm is produced from nuclear reaction and enable to cause the horrific fatalities. A small nuclear bomb when it explodes will devastate huge areas or a city like what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both have experienced 200,000 deaths when the nuclear bombs were dropped. It was 50 years ago and now surely its ability has increased especially after the cold war.

Hiroshima : Who are responsible?

The similarity between global warming and nuclear weapon, both are caused by humans' intellect and their desire. The first is caused by uncontrolled industries and factories since many toxins and dangerous gasses have released to nature, while the later are created by human in order to show their strength.

Surprisingly, the developed and powerful countries have blamed the third world countries for these woes. Their argument based on the poor countries, mostly Muslim have ignored the environmental issues. At the same time, they also suspected few Muslims for creating the dangerous weapons for the terrorist purpose.

We could not deny that the political and awareness among Muslims and their leader still weak. However, western and developed countries should not bias for their allegation. In fact, the environmental problem emerged rapidly after industrial revolt that gearing by developed countries. Through the wealth mission long time ago, they have colonized other lands, grasped the value materials at that lands, and manipulated its in order to fulfill their desire.

Who start first?

Regard the dangerous weapon, there still no proof that Muslim countries own nuclear weapon (except Pakistan), but the fact is clear that veto's power are developing this kind of weapons. Maybe few basic question they should answer first; Who began the world war? Who dropped the atomic weapon?

Enviroment and peace based on Islamic teaching.
Our religion has taught these issues since 1,400 ago. Based on prophet Muhammad teaching, all Muslims are disallowed to cut any tree without a solid reason as the tree gives the blessing for humans and other creations. Moreover, the Prophet also forbid people from polluting the water sources and road.

Meanwhile, Islam also promotes harmony between people regardless their religion, nation, and area. Therefore, Muslims are disallowed to start the war or conflict unless when they are threatened. However, this permission also not absolute as many rules must be followed by Muslim leaders and their fighters during if the war could not be avoided. For example, they are strictly disallowed to kill woman, priests, old people, and children. At the same time, they must avoid from destroying animals and plants which not involve in the war. Another rule is the fighters must keep themselves from burning their enemy.

So, as a Muslims, we have been taught before…
