| Bush doctrine vs spirit of Islam The stratagem was nicely planned and brilliantly executed. The trap was meticulously set and the Muslim Ummah, a house divided against itself, just walked into it. We helped our sworn enemies to push us into the pitfall and now we are entangled in the swamp up to our necks. The plotters had minutely studied the psychology of the accusers and the suspects. Reactions and repercussions were weighed in advance and everything went amazingly according to the plan chalked out by the perpetrator of this gory crime against humanity. So far, everything is going exactly the way it was envisaged. So much confusion has been stirred up as a consequence that those real culprits of the attack on the WTC and Pentagon will perhaps remain untracked forever. Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld and associates appeared to be anxiously waiting to seize such an eventuality to get hold of Osama and Al-Qaeda. For the electronic media in the West, it was a God-given opportunity for Islam-bashing. CNN, BBC, FOX News, ABC, NBC, etc, were putting in overtime to malign and discredit Muslims. Every Muslim with a beard or a particular type of dress was branded as a potential terrorist who deserved to be lynched. India, Israel and Russia took it as a divine blessing to promote their respective anti-Muslim agendas and settle scores with the freedom movements in the territories under their illegal occupation. Without pondering for a while and without reading between the lines, the leaderless Muslim Ummah assumed the responsibility to make loud noises that the underlying causes behind the attacks should be considered and addressed, admitting by implication that the crime was committed by Muslims. This was foolish and utterly stupid. I simply cannot imagine why our leaders, intellectuals and intelligentsia concluded that it was the handwork of Muslims only and nobody else be entertained by the very quarters that are out to exterminate the Muslims from the face of the earth? They should have rejected the unsubstantiated allegations outright for the simple reason that the whole Muslim world put together does not have the capability, resources and even courage to launch an attack of this magnitude. Out of 19 alleged hijackers, 15 have been identified as Saudi Arabian nationals. Saudi Arabia is a welfare state and takes care of its citizens from cradle to grave for all their necessities. Why should the well-off youth from this country resort to such extreme steps? They may be expected to sympathize with their Muslim brothers in distress but why will they become part of such a senseless mission? Saudis as well as the whole world knows that there is no dearth of committed and fearless fighters in the Muslim world and Saudi youth is not needed for such desperate operations. Saudis may support their Muslim brothers in need morally and financially. That is far more important than their direct involvement in a clandestine expedition. Saudi Arabian interior minister prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz had to declare in the end, though belatedly, that the alleged involvement of Saudi nationals in the attacks is a fabrication. The same is true for the nationals from the United Arab Emirates who, according to the US, were allegedly involved in the attacks. Just because a few Muslims happened to be aboard the ill-fated planes is no proof that they hijacked and smashed the planes onto the targets. The gross discrepancies in evidence gathered so far, such as the inclusion of the names as suspects in the passenger list of persons who have either already died or were not even in the US, renders the entire evidence extremely suspicious. The emergency meeting of OIC foreign ministers in Doha, Qatar in the wake of the events of September 11, its deliberations and final communiqué were utterly disappointing. It came out with a strong condemnation of terrorism just to appease America and the West, but was silent on the defence of the Muslim Ummah. The OIC should have categorically demanded credible and conclusive proof of the involvement of Muslims. It should have cautioned America and the West against indiscriminately implicating Islam and Muslims in terrorist activities. Also it should have come out strongly in defence of Muslim freedom struggles in Kashmir, Palestine, Chechnya and elsewhere. It should have strongly protested against and resented the hostile and provocative anti-Islam propaganda in the Western, Zionist and Indian media. The conference was marred by internal differences and nothing materially beneficial for the Ummah came out of it. If OIC cannot defend the rights of Muslims, it should disband itself. Surely Muslims do not need this impotent and hapless body to represent them on an international level. The Bush doctrine has set a very dangerous precedent in the international arena, which is fraught with grave risks for world peace. Not only has it legitimized state terrorism of tyrants, usurpers and aggressors, it has also presented a lethal weapon to the Nazis of the modern era. It has provided carte blanche to the warmongers in India and Israel. The results are now abundantly clear. Ariel Sharon the Zionist terrorist has unleashed a brutal onslaught on the Palestinians. Innocent civilians have become victims of targeted bombing and their homes have been razed to the ground. All to exercise the right of self-defence in consonance with the Bush doctrine. The self-proclaimed civilized world continues to pat the back of Zionist terrorists in appreciation. In India, the Vajpayee-Advani gang of RSS fame, after committing the worst kind of brutalities before which the Nazi crimes will pale, is now girding up to invade Pakistan in self-defence, in accordance with the Bush doctrine. If as a consequence tomorrow a nuclear holocaust takes place in the South Asian subcontinent, who will take the blame? A powerful neighbour can always stage a crime of a terrorist attack like the one staged in Delhi to get hold of an excuse to attack and punish a weak neighbour for not toeing its line. The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has been dismantled and the US and its allies have installed in Kabul a new administration of their liking. Osama has disappeared from the scene, probably bombed to death in Tora Bora heights or has migrated into desolation. In this background, today these observations may well appear to be immaterial, rather irrelevant. However, the record has to be set straight for the future, which possibly may help in damage control. We also have the right to state our viewpoint. I firmly believe that whatever has happened on September 11 in New York and Washington was not done by any Muslim, Osama and Al-Qaeda included. No individual group, government or intelligence agency in the entire Muslim world had the capability to carry out such well-planned and well-coordinated attacks. Islam and Muslims have simply been made scapegoats to pursue an anti-Muslim and anti-Islam agenda. Next we must consider the following questions that ceaselessly intrigue thinking minds and try to find answers to them. Who had the capability to wage such attacks with precision and accuracy? Who had the expertise and experience in this field? Who has benefited from these attacks? Who has suffered most as a consequence of these attacks? Before dwelling any further let me state categorically that I am a humble friend and great fan of America. At the same time let me also emphasize that a true friend alerts his friend against his mistakes so that he may take corrective action to eliminate his shortcomings. One who pats the back of a friend when he is doing something utterly wrong is in fact his worst enemy. - To be continued Source: The Frontier Post |
