Gouya Roshan From Darkness to Light

  Lies, a Shelter for the Human Soul Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) Of course, not every lie is wicked; Lies are sometimes even a refuge for a weary soul. In a world where truth smells of blood; Where children are sold, freedom is murdered, And justice is merely a forgotten word in resolutions. People turn to lies; Not out of ignorance, but out of exhaustion. Because lies are colorful and shiny, They promise joy. They temporarily silence the pain. While truth, naked and cold, Stands bitterly in a corner. Few dare to look it in the eye. That’s why people sometimes pretend to sleep in order to survive And sometimes, that sleep is nothing but a “lie.” A lie so that the soul and mind can endure a little longer. Perhaps dawn is near. Because lies are imaginary balms for the wounds of the soul. But let us not forget: no matter how comforting, lies are temporary and deceptive. They destroy trust and leave behind broken relationships and shattered hearts. And they are a curtain drawn o...

  How Did the Islamic World Abandon Its Nations? Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın)  I never complain about foreigners, because my pain comes from seeing daggers drawn from the sleeves of the familiar. In a world that carries the name of Islam, there are people who, under the banner of Islam, are homeless, hungry, displaced, and massacred. Before I complain about the West, before I point the finger at Zionism and imperialism, I speak of the silence, betrayal, and inaction of the Islamic world. Whatever was done to me, it was done by the familiar... and this bitter confession is the beginning of my story. In the midst of this, there are painful and revealing examples that clearly show the true face of the Islamic world. Palestine, Rohingya, Yemen, and Afghanistan are four prominent examples of peoples who have fallen victim to empty slogans, conscienceless politics, and blatant betrayal. They are mirrors that reflect not the foreign enemies, but the indifference of their Muslim ...

True Awareness: A Look Behind the Scenes of the Middle East Crisis Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) A truly aware individual looks at themselves before criticizing others. They first recognize and accept their own mistakes, and only then speak about others. This simple yet profound principle is the key to understanding many of the complexities of today’s Middle East. At a time when the world is rightly looking at the West and criticizing its policies and crimes, we must not forget that Middle Eastern countries are also complicit and involved in many human tragedies. The genocide of Palestinians, the massacre of the Rohingya, the destruction of Afghanistan, Yemen, and other countries are all the result of inefficiency, self-interest, and internal and regional conflicts. This bitter reality confronts us with fundamental challenges: ignoring the truth is not the path to reform. If we are not willing to see and accept our own mistakes, any criticism from outside will be ineffective, and ...

The Problem Is Not Religion  It Is Ignorance. Religion is a mirror of truth, but ignorance distorts its reflection. Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) The problem is not in religion, but in ignorance In a world where wars are waged in the name of religion, blood is shed in the name of God, and people are displaced in the name of prophets, we must ask ourselves: Is the problem with religion itself? Or with the ignorant and misguided interpretations of it? Many, when faced with oppression from a religious group or state, turn their anger toward religion and blame it. But as those with true, enlightened faith understand:  The problem is not religion; it is ignorance. True faith is not confined to a single religion. Personally, I never equate a "Muslim" with a "believer." A true believer transcends religious labels and exists in the heart of anyone who believes in truth, justice, honesty, and compassion. A believer may be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, a Zoroastrian, or ...

  Why Mark Carney Is a Powerful Response to Trudeau’s Grey Years Throughout political history, there have been leaders who rose to power with calm faces and soft voices. They spread hope and spoke of unity and equality. Yet in practice, they often left behind a grey and sometimes destructive legacy. Justin Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, is one such leader. He came to power at a time when Canadians were eager for change, justice, and good governance. He entered office with a smile, but what he left behind was a collapsing economy, a housing crisis, soaring debt, and a weary and insecure society. At first, Trudeau was seen as a promising figure: young, modern, and a man with bold slogans about human rights, the environment, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. But politics does not run on smiles. The economy doesn’t grow with charm. Young people don’t buy homes through speeches. During his time in office, housing prices in major cities doubled. Canada became one of ...

The Genocide of the Palestinian People Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın )  Why does the world, which constantly speaks of human rights, remain silent in the face of widespread killing and oppression of the Palestinian people? Why is the voice of the Palestinian people—who have endured years of pressure and violence and now live in unbearable conditions—muted amid all the grand speeches and slogans about human rights? The massacre of Palestinians is not only a human catastrophe, but a massive failure for all of humanity. This silence may be due to national interests and political concerns, but at its core, it reflects a lack of will and courage to stand with the oppressed. Even organizations that claim to defend human rights are either complicit with the oppressors or utterly incapable—more like puppets playing roles with no impact on this grim reality. Some media outlets, such as Al Jazeera and Iran International, have repeatedly reported on these issues and supported Palestinians....

Silence Is Complicity in Crime Author: Gouya Roshan (Güya Aydın ) In this multi-part article, I want to draw your attention to the hidden dimensions that reveal how political parties, governments, and global actors, through inaction and sometimes deliberate neglect, are pushing the people of Palestine toward death. We are not facing a merely political issue. What is happening in Palestine has clearly turned into a moral crisis and the collapse of the global conscience. It is now time to ask ourselves: Why is Palestine no longer a political issue? Because politics long ago withdrew from this arena, replaced by indifference, bargaining, and hypocrisy. Yes, Palestine is no longer a political matter; It is merely a mass grave, a grave that the world continues to bury with diplomatic smiles, meaningless meetings, and the shameful silence of human rights organizations. But this grave smells of blood—of children's burnt flesh, of dry bread in the trembling hands of mothers, and of decepti...
