Mohtram Hannan Bhai, Assalamu Alaikum
Before the colonial powers left the Muslim world, they systematically
planted in power those people who were their "yes-men". Where they couldn't do,
their nurtured and trained civil and military personals usurped power through
coups and conspiracies. Now they are sitting at the helm of affairs of their
respective countries. They are harping on his masters voice and have no courage
to displease their old masters. They are surviving only on the support of their
colonial masters.
Later on the USA replaced these colonial powers and now America is
supporting these despotic regimes who cannot dare to go against the wishes
of their masters controlling Muslim's world affairs from London,
Washington, Paris or Moscow. So what you expect from them? The
governments in Muslim countries are the stooges and the OIC is the outward
platform where the representatives of these "usurpers" are dancing on the tunes
of "his masters voice. Just let us recite: "Inna lillahey wa Inna ilahey
rajeoon" and feel "contented" in disgrace and perhaps a "prolong" humiliation at
every turning point of our history as "beggars" have no choice.
Unless these regimes are overthrown from the tentacles of power through
proven democratic process and Islam becomes the guiding phenomenon of our
affairs, please don't expect any change in OIC and its output. If the
situation does not change, I apprehend, another 36 years will pass and
the Ummah will remain struck up where it is today. Let Muslims realize their
position on earth as "Ummatun Wasataun", act and behave like that, only then OIC
will command respect and the world will listen to what it would resolve.
