Islamists word game

Submitted by Amitabh tripathi (India), Oct 26, 2005 at 02:20

I would like to remind all of you in one of his previous article titled(Palestenian word games 04-01-20005 ) Dr Pipes has described how Islamic organisations are so much skilled in PR exercise.This is also an instance how they misinterpret and twist words and phrases for their benefit.

It is one side of the picture that Islamists twist words and phrases but why people believe them is more worrying part of the picture. People believe in thier propaganda because they get full support from so-called liberal,secular(for whom definition of seculrism is pampering of Muslims)politicians and media.This is worldwide phenomenon.First of all this phenomenon is to be countered.

Every democracy and free society feels proud in declaring as their Muslim population is best of the world.This is not the case of America, only every European country and democracy like India feel proud in pampering Muslims of their countries and declaring as their Muslims do not have to do anything from Islamic terrorism. If Muslims of every country are good then why it is terrorism in the name of Allah and Quran. America,Britain and India are the best examples .Before 9\11America never tried to analyse the psyche of its Muslim population. Same happened with Britain, who's Prime ministers wife was so much eager to give its legal services to those Muslim organisations which were imposing hijab on muslim women.

Story of India is not much different In India our politicians claim it proudly that Indian Muslims are not part of global jihad because not a single Muslim went to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight against coalition army.

This is one of the ignorance of Indian politicians becuse they take Islamic problem in compartmental way. If Indian Muslims are not active part of AlQueda it does not mean they have nothing to do with global Jihad. If Indian Muslims have sympathy for Ummah and Indian government treat them with special privileges it indicates they are not amalgamated with Indian tradition .Indian diplomacy still take major policy decisions to pamaper not only Indian muslims but to Ummah as well as to go soft towards Arab nations,support Palestinian movement and not to go closer to Israel.

Tacticly Indian Muslims do not go actively to Al queda but it is no secret to anybody as lot of Indian Muslims have sympathy for the cause of Alqueda and other terrorist organisations. Whenever major terroist attack took place in Indian territory they got tactical support from local Muslim population. Other important thing which should be kept in mind the privilege what Muslims getting in India .They have minority status,they do not allow law of land to interfere in their personal laws ,they do not allow their madrasas to be monitored by government functionaries .They are following principles of Quran actually.

Before 7th of july in 2005 when Britain was attacked by terrorists it was shocking to them because various terrorist organizations within Britain has assured them as they are on in peace treaty with Britain as per direction of Quran .Whenever Muslims live in land of infidel if he has been guaranteed with security from infidels, they will not attack to them. But suddenly terrorist organizations of Britain announced peace treaty does not exist after 9\11 because Britain has introduced some harsh anti terrorist acts.

This reference of Britain is more relevant in India because whenever Indian government introduced some harsh anti terrorist acts it was forced to withdraw it under Muslim pressure. Always it was explained as an attempt to woo minority vote by politicians but this theological aspect was never probed ,because Indian intelligentsia lack the knowledge of Islam and politicians do not care about it.

Indian Muslims are no more tolerant and good Muslims they are in peace treaty with India. Until they will be given special privilege within Indian constitution they will only support morally to outfits like AlQueda when screws will be tighten on them they will indulge in activities like attack on Akshardham temple,Ram temple in Ayodhya, burning the train of Sabarmati and attack on parliament.

Example of India is given only show what future is waiting for Europe and America because India politicians tried hard to follow the secular and liberal attitude of west.

In his article Dr Pipes has described how general secretary of UN started to use phrases of Islamists established by propaganda.They are successful in their propaganda because world never challenged their theology.What a paradox when Islamic terrorists kill people around the world, Muslims all over world take excuse that some people misinterperting Quran, and when countries come with harsh anti terrorist laws they start propagating as Muslims are being targeted because of their religion. I have several times read on Tahrir site how they are trying to portray Britain action against terrorism as action against Islam.

We have to understand it. they know terrorism is reality of Islam but want to cover it by putting rest of world on receiving end. To which people say terrorism is real face of Islam. It is very unfortunate that every democracy and victim nations of Islamic terrorism do not have courage to speak about the real motive of this so called terrorism. On 6TH OF October American president George Bush talked some tough words about terrorism and painted some picture of terrorism and term it as a fight against radical Islam, but he also tried to differentiate Islam and radical Islam. It is very difficult to understand whether he really believe in his words or it is his diplomatic compulsion, if it is due to diplomatic compulsion it is understandable but if he believe problem of Islamic terrorism is due to radical Islam then it is really worrying situation .

This is not the case of America only, every European country and democracy like India feel proud in pampering Muslims of their countries and declaring as their Muslims do not have to do anything from Islamic terrorism. If Muslims of every country are good then why it is terrorism in the name of Allah and Quran.

Actually every country do not want to confront Islam directly by holding Islam responsible for all these inhuman and barbaric acts of suicide bombing. But is it possible to keep away this problem for a long time by adopting the ostrich like approach .

Terrorism is nothing other than Islam. It is war of so called believers against non believers. They have done it before and got success in invading countries and faith of people now they are applying the same tactics again. In sevent century they have horse and sword with them now they are equipped with AK-47 and cyber tecnic.Their goal is same as it was 1400 years ago.They are on Jihad. A doctrine of permanent war against infidels. Unfortunately nobody dares to blame Islam for all this.

We can not forget that Muslims are also victim of Islam. Pre-Islamic Arabs and Turks were as good or bad human being as other. it was Islam which brutalized them. Islam is an ideology like fascism and communism which is bound to become subject of museum but only when followers of this ideology will renounce it. The crack within the Islamic fold is clearly visible but it is the responsibilty of the rest of the world to educate Muslims about real nature of Islam. But it is not possible by differentiating Islam between radical and moderate. Islam is only one which is preached in Quran by Mohammed.

About whom it is supposed that he is moderate till then when time is ripe for jihad. When conditions become suitable for jihad he also come out openly in favour of jihad because it is his sacred duty .How can you stop anybody from killing others or blowing himself in pieces when he takes it as his holy duty and service to his religion.

If we want to tackle this terrorism we have to understand Islam and Muslim Psychology first then all victim faiths and countries of Jihad come together to evolve a consensus on how much space Islamists should be given for propaganda.
