After 9/11, Western ideologues with the help of so-called experts and propagandists fine-tuned the global threat of Islam, using terms like “Islamist,” “terrorist,” and “extremist” which replaced “Islamic fundamentalism.” Legions of articles, books and media stories with “experts” propagated the threat of global terror and “Islamism.” Takeover terminology, highlighting the threat to European societies and...
After the collapse of Communism, a contemporary conspiracy theory began to take shape during the Reagan years in the U.S – the “Green Threat of Islam” (or Islamic fundamentalism) replaced the “Red Threat” of Communism. It helped that the U.S.’s favourite ruler in the Muslim world, the Shah of Iran, was toppled by religious Ayatollahs....
Clerics in Saudi Arabia and UAE have declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist and Islamically deviant group. Of course they have done this at the behest of rulers or monarchs. In the year 2020, Muslims scholars are still discussing the rights of rulers and families to rule forever, and for the masses to obey them....
In 1981 Israel bombed Iraq’s nuclear energy facilities. Later after the first Gulf War, Iraq agreed to UN inspections of its embryonic nuclear facilitates. During the second Gulf War the UN inspectors played a dual game, not saying outright that Iraq had no “weapons of mass destruction” but not ruling them out. Giving the West...
The killing of a nuclear scientist in Iran, an innocent civilian, is an act of terrorism, as it would be anywhere else. A few have been killed in Iran. Imagine the outrage there would be if Muslim countries ordered the killing of European scientists, considering them to be a threat. After all they are producing...
The tragedy of World War l was that Muslims were dying for Europeans in their wars on all sides. Muslims dying for the British, Muslims dying for the French, Muslims dying for the Russians and Ottomans dying for the Germans who they had unnecessarily allied with. All the Muslims were just pawns in a war...
President Marcon has proposed more laws aimed at taking control of Islam in France. These are double-standards for a country that prides itself on separation between Church and State, as the French state is now taking control of Islam. France is the latest EU country to introduce such laws. Germany has already introduced such restrictions...
The Charlie Hebdo caricatures and the general attacks on the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Islam as “a religion of violence” are not new. They are a rehashing of centuries-old Christian Crusader and Oriental polemics based on both racism and anti-Islam propaganda. Faced with a failure to defeat the Muslim world in the Crusades, Europeans resorted...
The costs of war after 911 (there were plenty before). This is what collective punishment looks like. Is there anywhere in the history of man that European powers have inflicted such collective punishment on a people? Some might even call this a genocide. Instead of bringing the perpetrators to justice they targeted much of the...
Since the French State has now supported the decision by Charlie Hebdo to publish the hateful and demonising cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings on him, it has now become a state issue, and Muslim states and their leaders must respond. Muslim states must send a clear message to France that their history...
