يا مسيحيين، يا مسلمين، عودوا إلى أصنامكم؛ الشارع علماني

“I killed him, he said, he was reciting the Fatiha.”
“I killed him, he said, he had a cross.”
“I killed her, she said, she had a hijab.”
“I killed her, she said, she was reciting Ave Maria.”

You killed because of their difference.
You killed because both of you prayed the same God In a different way.

You killed, not because he harmed you, because you were afraid.
You killed, not in the name of your God, in the name of Fear.
Both of you killed in the name of a common Illusion.
This illusion is your religious extremism. I am sure you misread your Bible and Quran.

Marx was right… Religion is indeed the “Opium of the People”.

Leave your Gods in your homes, temples!
Pray as much as you want, do whatever you want “in the name” of your Gods but in your homes! Please.
Leave them where they remain for the street doesn’t belong to any of your deities.

Christians, Muslims, return to your idols; the Street is Secular.”
