The best way to keep calm in these days is not to think about politics, listen to or even read about politics. "At that time, sitting is better than standing. The walking person is better than the runner. Break your arrows, cut your bows and strike your sword to the stones at that time. When someone comes to your home at that time, become like the good one of the two sons of Adam." <--- prophesied our prophet (sw.)

Comments:
• Inactivity is better than being active depending on time and place, and I guess we are passing one of those time.

  Next what does "being the good one of the two sons of Adam means."?

  The two sons where Qabil and Habil. When Qabil wanted to kill Habil, Habil said: "I shall neither fight you nor defend myself, so if you want to kill me go forward and carry both of our sins and go to hell."

  Note that Habil was stronger of the two brothers and he could have easily defended himself or killed his brother instead, if he wanted to. Rasulullah (sw.) told us to act like the better of these two brothers, in such time of Fitnah.
