Perjuangan Mujahedeen Chechen Terkini |
|
Berikut dibawah adalah artikel bertajuk "Valiant Chechens" mengenai perjuangan saudara-saudara Islam kita di Chechen untuk kita renungkan bersama dan mungkin akan tergerak dihati sebagai saudara Islam untuk berbuat sesuatu, sekurang-kurangnya menghulurkan derma kepada tabung perjuangan Mujahedeen Chechen yang diuruskan oleh PAS dan ABIM.
Dan bagi kita semua yang berjuang untuk mendaulatkan hukum-hukum Allah SWT dan menubuhkan kerajaan Islam di Malaysia, bersedialah kita semua kerana apa yang berlaku di Chechnya besar kemungkinannya boleh juga menimpa kita semua. UMNO kini di ambang perpecahan dan sudah pun ditolak dengan tegas dan muktammadnya oleh lebih 85 peratus orang Melayu, dan dengan demikian besar kemungkinan UMNO mungkin terdesak untuk bertindak secara keganasan dam kekerasan keatas penyokong-penyokong BA.
Dalam kita memohon doa' kepada Allah SWT agar Kerajaan Islam di Malaysia ini akan tercapai dengan secara aman damai, kita perlu disamping itu menyediakan diri untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan termasuk berperang jihad sekiranya UMNO dalam keadaan terdesak melakukan keganasan dan kekerasan terhadap kita. Antara persediaan itu adalah mengerjakan solat sunnat Tahajjud sebab Nabi SAW tidak akan bawa bersama ke medan perang jihad mereka-mereka yang tidak melakukannya.
Subject: [abimlink] VALIANT CHECHENS
Please read this article, forward and distribute it to as many Muslims and Non-Muslims you know without inconveniencing anyone or getting into legal trouble, it is an important piece.
The Edmonton Sun, January 23, 2000 ERIC MARGOLIS, TORONTO SUN From the burning ruins of Grozny came what may be a final, heartbreaking message from its Chechen defenders: "At a time when the world has left us entirely, we ask Muslims around the world not to forget the ordeal of their brothers in Chechnya fighting the jihad (holy war) against Russian oppression."
Look at Grozny and you see a second Warsaw Ghetto. Like the valiant Jewish defenders who held off the might of the Nazi SS, Chechens, another forgotten people facing extermination, are fighting to the death against impossible odds.
I've been a combat soldier and have covered 12 high-intensity wars from the front, but I have never seen anything that equals the heroism and boundless courage of the Chechen mujahedeen. For the past four months, 5,000 lightly armed Chechen warriors fighting on flat, open terrain that favours air, armour and artillery, have held off 160,000 Russian troops, backed by regiments of heavy guns and rockets, helicopter gunships, ground attack aircraft, and thousands of tanks and armoured vehicles. Russia's generals have repeatedly vowed to "exterminate" the Chechen. All Chechen males from 6-65 are being thrown into concentration camps.
Chechen mujahedeen, most without any formal military training, have no heavy weapons and are chronically short of radios, anti-tank rockets and even small-arms ammunition. There is almost no medicine or morphine for their wounded, and no shelter from massive Russian bombardment that includes banned fuel air explosives, toxic gas, and napalm. If taken alive by the Russians, they will be tortured, then executed.
Chechnya is totally cut off from the outside world. Only a handful of Arab, Dagestani and Estonian "ansar" or volunteers, have managed to slip into Chechnya to aid the struggle for independence. Many had been killed.
Grozny - which Russian generals vowed to storm by early December, and President Vladimir Putin promised to take by New Year's - still holds out at this writing.
Mujahedeen are defending every ruined building and mined street while some 40,000 civilians cower in cellars under non-stop Russian shelling. Still, overwhelming Russian numbers and firepower must eventually prevail. Losses are high on both sides - about one Chechen for every four Russians.
Renowned Chechen field commanders, Sheiks Shamil Basayev and Ibn al-Khattab, admit Grozny has no strategic value, but insist, "We want to prove to the world and the Russians that despite the size, power, or technology of any enemy, there is no way they could defeat the people of belief, principal and land." Brave words from the world's bravest people.
And so 1.5 million Chechen defy 146 million Russians - as these Caucasian mountaineers have done for the past 250 years. The Chechens who today defend Grozny are the children of a nation that three times nearly has been exterminated by Russian genocide - in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the last when Joseph Stalin had tens of thousands shot and the remainder of the Chechen people deported to Siberian concentration camps.
In the first Chechen war, 1994-96, Russia killed 100,000 Chechen civilians, razed much of the small country, and, in an act of monumental terrorism, scattered 17 million anti-personnel land mines across the tiny nation. Russia was driven from Chechnya in 1996, but its hardliners and communists vowed to "exterminate the Chechen bandits." Their man Putin's first act as President was to declare a crusade - blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church - against Chechnya. Moscow demanded revenge for 1996 and for defeat at the hands of Muslim mujahedeen in Afghanistan.
While Russian troops fought their way into Grozny, elite Russian forces were pushing into the southern mountains. Chechen units are battling ferociously, under intense shelling and bombing, to defend the strategic Shatoi and Vedeno gorges. Outnumbered 20-1, the Chechens' defence of mountain passes vividly recalls the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae.
At least the mountainous terrain gives the mujahedeen some cover; in the flat, barren north, they can only move at night.
The Clinton administration, which is largely financing Russia's genocide in Chechnya, supplied Russian attack helicopters with advanced U.S. night-vision devices - "to combat terrorism," says the White House. Bill Clinton recently called for the "liberation" of Grozny by Russia. Yet he cannot understand why so many Muslims see America as their enemy.
If the West's response to Russia's Mongol-like behaviour in Chechnya has been shameful and hypocritical, the Islamic world's reaction is even more disgraceful. Important Muslim nations - like Egypt, Malaysia and Iran - are negotiating arms and aircraft deals with Russia. No Muslim state has dared challenge Russian brutality or anti-Muslim racism.
The only nations to recognize Chechnya's declaration of independence from Russia are brave little Estonia and Afghanistan, both of which know full well the terror of Russian occupation. China, which oppresses its own Muslim peoples and Tibetans, loudly applauded Russia's final solution in the Caucasus.
Those who observe a monstrous crime and do nothing share guilt for it. We begin the 21st century watching silently as a brutish Russia, which knows neither shame nor mercy, crushes the life out of a tiny but heroic people who refuse to bend their knees to Moscow's tyranny.
