 Defeating Islam is the issue

[selected excerpts]

The imperialists do politics, fight wars, occupy lands and kill millions not for mere economic exploitation and military or political gains. They want to defeat and destroy their ideological competitors and survive as the sole civilizational force on earth. After the sudden demise of Socialist Soviet Union – the West’s most powerful ideological challenger, the Western imperialists had a great joy of relief and a strong spell of euphoria.  They thought that they have won the final war of ideas and the history of mankind has reached its end with liberal capitalism as the global norm of civilisation. They could really think of a global village with global Western values. The euphoria was so immense that many capitalist gurus like Francis Fukuyama declared it the end of history. Carl Marx too, died with a dream of such euphoria. He believed
that the victory of the proletariat and the emergence of classless communist society are inevitable. Marx claimed it the ultimate end of historical determinism. But such Marxist theory
proved utter nonsense.

With the emergence of Taleban Islamists in Afghanistan, establishment of Islamic khilafa in Iraq and Syria, and rise of militant Islamists in many other parts of the world, euphoria of the
capitalists has also quickly evaporated. Fukuyama’s “end of history” proved nonsense, too. In fact, the history itself proved it never ends. Since the clash between the Divine truth and the
satanic falsehood survives in all ages; history too continues. Contrary to the common belief of the capitalists and the socialists, history never takes a linear course. History takes turns and
even makes reversals. It itself doesn’t possess any inherent determinants to decide its own destiny. Force of the Divine faith, concomitant commitment of the followers of the faith and
ultimate wish of Allah Subhana wa Taala decide which way the history should move.

The engine of history is running fast in many parts of the Muslim world. It is getting enormous fuel from the blood of the Islamists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Nigeria, Algeria and many other parts of the world. Islam is showing a strong global resurgence. The Western imperialists are not happy with such a new trend of history; and want to stop it. Hence President Barak Hussain Obama and his cronies had to declare a global war against the Islamists.  So the US, the UK, the French, the Canadian and the Australian planes are on a bombing mission in Iraq and Syria. What Israel did in Gaza, they are doing the same in the Islamic State. Defeating Islam has now emerged as the most important issue in the capitalist camp.


Phobia of Islamic State & the paranoia
  
Iraq and Syria is more than 7 thousand miles away from the USA and Canada. But the imperialists living in that distant part of the globe find their survival at risk with the resurgence of Islam in the Muslim lands. The Islamic State has no Navy or Air Force. But still, the USA and its capitalists ally find high security threat in their homes, offices, streets, trains, planes, buses and in capitals from the army of Islamic State. They could win a World War in 5 years, but can’t think of winning the war against Islamists even in 25 years. Now the current challengers to the imperialists are not the other imperialists, but the Islamists. In World Wars they need not fight
such Islamists. Hence the scenario is different. President Barak Obama’s former Defence Secretary and former CIA chief Mr Leon Panetta recently told: it may take 30 years to defeat the Islamic State. It is also an incorrect assumption by an imperialist who still think that the US army can never be defeated, it only takes some extra time to win. Does he think that the US can fight a war for 30 years?

The US and its gang of ally couldn’t win the war against Taleban even in 13 years. At the end, they are packing bags to return home with sense of extreme humiliation. Nor could they win war in Iraq. They couldn’t win war in Vietnam either. The Islamic State has proved its strength much stronger than the Taleban and the Vietnamese. Eight hundred Islamic State fighters could rout
30 thousand US trained troops in Mosul in less than 24 hours. The US has superior air power; but that too is failing. The constant US bombing in the city of Kobane failed to stop the Islamists’ advance. Such a display of fighting strength of the Islamists has generated an intense Islamo-phobia in imperialists’ mind: the fear has indeed made them pathologically paranoid and wholesale homicidal. As a consequence, in the absence of army barracks, arms industry or war
installations, the US and UK fighter jets are now bombing roads, houses, caves, hills and mountains in Syria and Iraq. They consider them as the potential military targets. From the US warships in the Mediterranean, they even fire Tomahawk missile of several million dollar worth to blow up few Islamists’ home in residential cities. Due to same homicidal paranoia, they could kill and maim hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Iraq and
Afghanistan without a single remorse of conscience.


Defending capitalism is the war cry

In wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US alone has spent more than one trillion dollars and sacrificed more than 5 thousands of their own people. More than forty countries also fought side by side with the US. Now the US and the same bunch of its ally are back in Iraq and Syria to do the same. More than 60 countries have announced their readiness to join the war against the Islamic State. Here the issue is not defending their national borders: in fact, the war is taking place thousands of miles away from their border. It is the war for defending capitalism as a global ideology. So, the whole world is their war field. The backbone of the capitalism is its

massive military power: not any ideological superiority. So, they have decided to defend their ideological frontier with fighter planes, missiles and bombs. In war of ideas, the imperialists consider it the only option for their ideological defence. In the past, Pharaoh, Nimrod and other forces of evil deployed the same lethal tool and the same strategy to defend their tyranny and falsehood.

The US-led war in Afghanistan was not for mere removal of the Taliban. Nor was it for oil or gas. In fact, Afghanistan has little oil or gas to offer. But the country has much more precious asset in its possession. Under the Taleban rule, Afghanistan possessed Islam as the state ideology. It was enough to be the target of the global nexus of the evil forces. Afghanistan also possessed other strategic assets: out of all Muslim countries it was the only country that had the largest number of jihadists who could readily sacrifice their life for anything that is Islamic. Hence, Afghanistan appeared as the number one threat to the hegemonic agenda of the imperialists. This is why it became the immediate target of the West’s savage war and a full military occupation. The prime aim of the war was to dismantle the Islamic State of Afghanistan and its Islamic institutions; and to raise secular institutions populated by their own brand of ideological converts with extreme anti-Islamic commitment. ...

In the past, the colonial occupation of the Muslim countries led to huge genocidal massacre, massive economic exploitation and extreme political deprivation. But the greatest damage to the

Muslim Ummah was done by dispossessing Islam from the ownership of a state. The full Islam can never survive or grow with such dispossession. It was the greatest harm not only to the

Muslims, but also to the whole mankind. As a consequence of such dispossession, Islam –the only revealed religion of the Almighty Allah Subhana wa Ta’ala couldn’t deliver His greatest gift

to the mankind for the benefit both here and in the hereafter. As a result, Islam -the complete roadmap for the mankind, could survive only as a bunch of religious rituals with few dogmatic beliefs. The arenas of politics, economy, culture, judiciary, education and other institutions of public guidance and governance were overtaken by the followers of toxic ideologies of the evil forces. Such occupation of the Muslim lands still persists: only the ethnicity of the occupiers has changed, but not the anti-Islamic commitment.

An ideology always needs a powerful state as its supporting backbone. Otherwise it can’t stand anywhere in the society. Nor can its social, moral and ethical policies get any place in politics,

culture, education, economy, judiciary and other important arenas of life. Such a stateless ideology can never emerge as a civilizational force, therefore fails to make any positive impact

on human history. ...
