Wait. Hang on. What image popped up into your mind when I said “A terrorist’? Did you picture a Muslim, with a turban, yelling “Allahu Akbar”? Because if you did, then congratulations, the media has programmed you kindly.
In light of a series of unfortunate events, I felt it imperative to write a post about radicalization hiding under the skirts of Islamic teachings. It seems like every time we kill these creatures, more begin to surface – stronger and ever more determined. What motivates these people? Are these people grounded by, what the ignorant-westerned minded people may say, “the koran and mohammed”, or are there other factors?
Islam, The Qur’an, The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessings of God be upon him) has nothing, NOTHING to do with terrorism we see happening today. It is an insult to history and human intellect to claim that an ideology from the deserts of Arabia, 1400 years ago is the reason for the terrorism we see today, while ignoring the horrifying and strategical history of western-meddling and active terrorist-creating actions. Who created, trained and funded ISIS? Remember, Allah does not drop bags of US dollars to those creatures killing innocent civilians (mostly Muslims) and laying waste to whole cities.
We all know (I hope!) that 9/11 was committed by the US and allies themselves, in an attempt to persuade the general public to back ‘The War on Terror’ in order to take control of the oil-rich lands of Iraq and Afghanistan – it’s all about the Benjamin’s baby. An event like 9/11 is nothing new for the US. In the 1960’s, they passed a plan to bring down an American plane from Cuba and frame it on Castro – google “Operation Northwood”. 93% of US history has been at war. Before Muslims, it was the Germans and Russians and Asians and Africans and Native-Americans and English and Spanish. This is just a wave of ‘the boogeyman tactic’ that the US has created for its new wave of profits. And by the US, I don’t mean its politicians, I mean the oil and war lords who actually run Washington – not the men we see on TV.
“The British and American intelligence along with Mossad worked to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). A terrorist organization that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called ‘the hornets nest’. It is created to protect the Zionist entity by creating it with religious and Islamic slogans. The only solution to protect the Jewish State is to create ISIS near its borders.”
-Edward Snowden (Former NSA Employee)
Terrorism is nothing new. In today’s times, its created, funded, trained and protected by the US and allies so they could:
1 – Hold regional leaders (the dictators in the middle east – Khomeini, Assad, Aoun, Mansur Hadi, etc) in oil nations by the balls through fear of western-tied groups like ISIS.
2 – Through divide and conquer, create a climate of fear and aggression so western crooks can keep stealing resources.
“We must put an end to anything which brings about any Islamic unity between the sons of the Muslims. The situation now is that Turkey is dead and will never rise again, because we have destroyed its moral strength, the Caliphate and Islam.”
This bold and frightening statement was made by the former British Foreign Secretary, Lord Curzon, at the House of Commons after the Lausanne Treaty of 1923, when the Ottoman’s (Islamic State) were defeated in World War One. The reason why Lord Curzon’s statement should be taken with so much weight is because it correlates with the following Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessings of God be upon him):
“The knots of Islam will be undone one by one, each time a knot is undone the next one will be grasped, the first to be undone will be the ruling and the last will be the prayer. (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No.31)
Attempts to demoralize and discontinue Islam as a religion, a way of life, a promise of hope, peace and solace – for money, power and control can only be stopped by uniting believers around the world, and re-establishing the rightful Caliphate dynasty. For those that deem Islam as backward, unreasonable and unproductive, and those that attempt and conflate Islam and Western-Christianity under the arbitrary term “religion” invariably superimpose the pre-reformation Christian historical baggage onto Islam. The fact of the matter is that Islamic history is not plagued with the same repressive church-like institutions that stifled human advancement. Islam, at it’s peak, was the beacon of knowledge that led humanity in science, philosophy, art and technology, and the example of modernity for their relevant period of history. This was, of course, before western-backed dictators ruled over the Muslim nations, staining any and all hopes of advancement with their presence. Again, I cannot do justice in explaining Islam’s contribution to the world as we know it today, when libraries are filled with books and historical testimonies of non-Muslims who substantiate this undeniable fact.
The teachings of Islam are unequivocally clear about how ALL life is sacred, regardless of religion, creed, race, status, gender or nationality. The tragedies that happened a few months ago in London, a few days ago in Manchester, and a few hours ago in Syria and the Philippines (68 children died in a bombed-bus in Syria, and ISIS shooting down civilians in the Philippines – Mainstream media isn’t really covering it) is to be condemned without a shadow of doubt.
“WHOSOEVER KILLS AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING, IT SHALL BE AS THOUGH HE HAD KILLED ALL OF HUMANITY. AND WHOSOEVER SAVES AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING, IT SHALL BE AS THOUGH HE HAD SAVED ALL OF HUMANITY.”
-Holy Qur’an [5:32]
“The worst person before Allah will be the one who killed those who did not fight him.”
-The Prophet Muhammad (Musnad Ahmed No. 15943)
“Let the dearest of your treasures be the treasury of righteous actions. Infuse your heart with mercy, love and kindness for your subjects. For they are of two kinds; either they are your brothers in religion or your equals in creation.”
-‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib (Letter #53 from Nahjul Balagha)
