07/13/05 "ICH" - - It is
time to talk a little bit more than about just what is happening in Palestine,
Kashmir, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq. Muslims situation is very bad. There
is an obvious attempt to wipe Muslims out of the map if they do not agree to
live by what has been repeatedly mentioned by Bush, Blair. Martin, and others as
our way of life and our values. No other way of life and no other value
matters.
Terrible crimes are being committed to impose a way of
life on Muslims. These are the crimes which no one would even feel like
describing; not accidentally but with a purpose aimed at creating societies
which submit to the will and way of life prescribed by the modern day fascists.
The aim is to keep Muslims away from Islam in accordance with the ideologists of
the Washington regime and that aim is to be fulfilled by any means and at all
costs.
Briefly there are 150,000 dead people in Afghanistan and
Iraq until now. The rest of the populations are subjected to a life which is
hardly better than death. Economies and infrastructures are totally shattered
and the only job available are working as collaborators for consolidation of
occupations.
Besides the concentration camps, there are areas, both
in Afghanistan and Iraq, where no body knows what is going on, because there are
no journalists and no monitors allowed. We fear that the death toll is much
higher. There are reports of concentration camps even on ships in the
international waters. The extent of the crimes against humanity has crossed all
limits of comprehension.
The question is: How come this is going on
before the eyes of the civilized world and there is no one who can hold the
culprits accountable? Some people argue this is a war against terrorism and the
extremists. In fact all those who died are ordinary Muslims, not even knowing
the complex classification which the war lords have invented to divide Muslims.
Yet the civilized world world is mum over Afghanistan occupation and there is
no way it can deal with the occupation of Iraq and Palestine. Similarly, there
is no "collateral damage." Every damage is intentional from day one to break the
back of resistance in Muslim populations as a whole.
This is total
indifference and complacency and this is confusion between values and interests;
principles and interests. This is what is serious because no civilization, or no
man, can live without principles, values and dreams. That's what happened to the
Roman Empire. That is what happened to the Muslim empires, to the Turkish empire
and the British empire and that is what is happening to the West right now. But
then that is not a black and white situation.
We have a situation
where we have almost undivided sympathies of the public, most of the press, and
yet in the democratic societies this is not reflected in the policies of the
governments and the media. This is another question mark. Although in the United
States, the general public is moved much more easily than in Europe. Why is this
happening in Afghanistan and Iraq and Palestine? Did these places deserve this
kind of treatment by the US, Israel and UK?
What is happening now
are condemnations, _expression_ of concerns but not actions by the concerned
quarters. Hallow claims of democracy and freedom and liberation are to deceive
their own people and their own self: to assuage the conscience of the West with
lies and self-deceptions. This is not to question the goodwill of those who
expose the truth. Not at all! This is not to question the courage of those who
risk their lives to bring the reality before our eyes, but the overall attitude
is that 'we have been attacked so you must pay for the terrorism that emanates
from your part of the world'. Or, try and blame all sides; a not very
intelligent construction is used, 'No one is blameless'. Whatever it may mean,
it is very much used when it comes to dealing with the US and Israeli
occupations..
'No one is blameless' is true in itself but it 'says
nothing. It makes it easy not to act and easier to overlook what is happening:
That there is an aggression! That there is a victim!!
There is
total confusion despite the overwhelming and incontestable evidence of the lies
upon lies of the aggressors. The attempt to equate the two, the aggressor and
the victims, is almost pathetic. And this is the most painful of all. It is much
more human to say, well, we can not help or we are not willing to help and you
are on your own, than to sit and watch the slaughtering of innocent women and
children and to pretend to be fair to both the killers and the
killed.
This is not a war on terrorism. This is a war to make and
then break terrorists to terrorize all Muslims everywhere into total
submission to the US and Israeli will. This is another excuse that since this is
a war on terrorism so let them fight to exhaustion for an indefinite period, as
it is being claimed repeatedly, we are into a long war, and it could last
decades.
Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, Afghanistan and
Iraq are fighting against a common enemy for their right to self-determination.
Muslims there are fighting to end direct US occupation. At the same time,
Muslims are struggling in Pakistan, Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey,
Morocco, Jordan and many other places to get rid of the mini-terrorists imposed
on them by the US and its allies.
It is a war between normal human
people and primitive savages; brutes who stop at nothing. Who tout their values
and way of life, but have no respect for others religion and way of life at
all. The question is, where do these people grow? What trees do they grow on?
Where were they before? What happened to their minds? Who told them to do so? We
have the media pundits saying we do not teach them to slaughter and torture! Who
told them? What happened? We do not have an answer. Who is to blame for the
upbringing of the monsters who are flattening town after town in Iraq. Who are
butchering scores of civilians at homes, in the cars and in the buses. Who being
their criminal assault with attacks on hospitals, ambulances and media offices
and reporters.
They are not in small numbers or a few bad apples.
Thousands of them have the license to perpetrate savagery in a systematic manner
with the help of the latest technology which man could invent to inflect misery
and death on fellow human beings. They kill, torture, rape, loot, destroy, and
confiscate whatever they wish. There are videos of US marines who are very
ashamed of what they are told to do. They are giving presentations on how savage
they had been before taking on the mission to stop the needless war. They are
showing pictures of the torture and their fellows inhumanity to the occupied
people. They seek forgiveness. Surely many of them will soon ask Muslims to
forgive them, but it will not help Muslims.
Some of Americans and
Europeans want to know about Muslims and Islam. In short, despite introduction
of all divisions in the name of liberal, moderate, extremist,
fundamentalist and other shades of Muslims and Islam, all Muslims are known
for a tenacity to go on living their own lives and keeping their identity
whatever happens. This is what is at stake now. They are forced to lose their
identity and merge into the crowd that helps and sustains the tyranny of
capitalist and corporate terrorists in the name of secular and liberal
democracy.
This is not the first time that Muslims are under attack for
what they believe and what they stand for. It has been the case since centuries.
It is not easy to defend ones way of life and right to self-determination when
monsters and primitives of this kind are ruling. Instead of arms and ammunition,
Muslims are more equipped by their psychological and social structure to succeed
in a state of peace and order and, may be, that is why they must be now
destroyed or at least partly destroyed, in order to throw them hundreds of years
back.
The capitalist system has reached it breaking point. It must
grow to sustain. The corporate terrorist of the Multinationals have invisibly
joined hands with the religious zealots who have a mission to transform the
Muslim world in their own image. Unless there is a uniform, homogeneous world of
billions of consumers, capitalist dream can never be realized. Similarly, the
same is necessary for establishing the Christian Kingdom of God. These missions
are complementary. Thats why every move by the oil mafia is as much back by the
crusaders as by the religiously motivated political leaders such as Bush and
Rice and a whole army of the neo-cons.
Although different actors
are involved, but the only common way to sustain capitalism, the tyrannical
order in the name of democracy or to establish a Kingdom of God is to destroy
systematically everything that Muslims have, especially their values, their way
of life and, of course, their culture, history, heritage, economy and military
strength. The damage inflicted so far is before our eyes.
Almost
every thing of worth has been destroyed. The focus now is on destroying the
identity of a people, and thats why the stress is on defending our way of
life. The public would be fool enough to believe this mantra because so far
none of the alleged terrorists have claimed that they are out to change the way
of life in the West. The freedom fighters everywhere demand the occupiers to get
out of their land. Stop injustice and oppression of their people: leave them
alone. They cannot feed and raise their kids the way they want to. How can they
think of changing the way of life and values in Europe and
America?
It is not easy, however, to keep on killing and torturing
millions of people. It takes lies besides time. It also causes some
embarrassment for the enlightened regimes in London and Washington, not so
much for the one in Tel Aviv. There is a growing public awareness of the lies
told to justify the genocides of our age and it is difficult to avoid questions
for ever to come. Sooner or later, the modern day fascists will come out and
start openly challenging Muslims to choose between Islam and non-Islam. War
lords on the media and academic fronts have already challenging the validity of
the Quran and cursing those who believe in the totality of the Quran or
those who consider it a final manifesto of God. What else is left behind with
a Muslim to consider himself Muslim after discarding the fact that Quran is
the final manifesto of God or who challenges the totality of it, knowing full
will that the Quran tells Muslims not to reject or accept it in
parts.
On the other side there is a determination among Muslims to
go on living with their identity intact. And this is the characteristic of
Muslims that who would never enter a mosque being Muslims, they will, after all
this is over, build even larger mosques, and enter them in even larger numbers.
The more the face and dirty tricks of the enemies of Islam come before Muslims,
the more their determination to preserve their way of life increases. After all
they, too, have a way of life and a manifesto to follow.
The
situation is very catastrophic in some places. For the time-being it is tanks,
aircraft, heavy artillery pieces, and attack helicopters using banned weapons
and destroying every thing. Concentration camps are in full swing. We may not
realize the enormity of the situation because we are living in these times. But
the situation is far worse than any period in human history when fascists and
warld-mastering demi-gods were on a rampage. So we are bound to see a very
protracted prolonged war, more suffering of innocent civilians more deaths and
more casualties, until something happens or until the victims or the aggressors
are exhausted. Guess who that side will be?
But it is not the end
of the world, especially for those who believe in God or in humanity or in any
kind of values, and who do not confuse values with interest.
