Stemming the tide of social fracturing


Normally after Friday prayers, I will allocate some time after lunch to go through my phones.

Last Friday, there was the usual collection of frivolous messages, chasing of various deadlines, requests for opinions on various matters, and a couple of videos sent to one of my WhatsApp groups. I pressed play. Upon seeing a rifle being carried in a first person perspective, I assumed it was a recording of a computer game in the ilk of Counter-Strike or Call of Duty.
