Where is Humanity???

In the past few days I have been hearing, watching, reading several disturbing news and events portraying the dirty picture of the society we live in. Every time i get to know about some rape case, kidnapping, slaughtering, murdering, I just wonder if it is even being done by a human? I don't understand where do we stand? My head just gets jumbled up with zillions of questions. Finally I just ask one question that are we really humans??? Being civilized, educated, social, and most importantly being a Muslim is a far cry when such incidents and events happen in our society. What are we doing? What is the point of us being a civilized, educated, independent and modernized society? We keep blaming the Government institutions for not doing their work properly and accuse them for the deteriorating law and order situation in the country. But what are we doing as individuals? Are we sincere to ourselves? Are we doing our duties with responsibility at personal level?
Societies are made by individuals and the acts of individuals ultimately paint the picture of the society. We as individuals have left humanity far behind. We do not care much as we have become materialistic in every way. We have left our religion and kept it for the sake of dua only. This is the only reason that we as Muslims are breaking and all the evils are rising and taking over us. We try every other option to deal with the situations but we seldom think about our own deeds and seek the guidance from Quran and Sunnah.
We have stopped thinking as Muslims as we are so much lost in worldly matters that religion has just become a minor element of our life. Islam is the only religion in the world with complete code of life. But like other believers we have restricted it's role as one's private matter. We have limited its horizons to ibadaat only. We have not only lost our imaan but also our humanity with it. Finally I want to quote this ayat from Quran which we have forgot and thus are having terrible times in our lives. "And hold firmly to the rope of ALLAH all together and do not become DIVIDED." (aali'Imran, #103).
