The non-existence of weaponized WODs, or the figmental link between Saddam and Al-Qaeda, or the failure to establish that Iraq was housing biological weapons and then mercilessly trampling through their landscape, America’s imperialistic aspirations was there for the world to see. And the Islamic world meanwhile interpreted the Iraqi war as a ‘hostile blow against Islam’, for one reason or the other. As such if we analyse with raw statistics, we will find that that countries with the largest number of suicide bombing since the Iraqi war, are ran by governments who shamelessly supported the Bush-Blair agenda. And it doesn’t stop there. Isolating the Palestines and supplicating Israel over the years has also riled the larger Islamic community, leading them down a dangerous path where only conflict seems to be the viable solution. It wouldn’t be prudent to ignore all these political elements and their reactions and this constant blood thirst for revenge while conducting these discussions.
It won’t be too irrelevant perhaps to introduce another related matter here. I am talking about the USA of course who are naturally gifted in nurturing fundamentalism by utilising religion as a tool, while simultaneously possessing the uncanny ability to spot the perfect opportunity to provoke it. Whether or not scientist should research on stem cells, whether or not artificially assembled defence weapons should be withdrawn, whether the theory of evolution ought to be taught in schools, if so how should it be approached. Everything from the biggest to the smallest of aspects is being quietly micromanaged by the government. Government sponsored priests and preachers are asked to lend their expert opinions or supervise scientific research or a particular project for that matter. Their job being is to determine if the relevant proceedings are ethical or non-ethical.
Perhaps the president there had an epiphany like the prophets and heard the “the voice of God” before going into battle; the media meanwhile, in conjunction with major newspaper outlets and influential editors sought to ‘decide’ what to believe on behalf of us and later, decide what to pack away and bury deep. In all honesty, by projecting a false ‘impression’ of a free world, this group of power-hungry, uber rich zealots are trying to impose a measure of control over the society’s demands, its tastes and its emotions in general. But that in itself is another long story.
Now although ‘US Imperialism’ does pose a problem, Islamic terrorism mainly originates from Islam itself. History here is witness again here and this time to the Prophet Muhammad and his antics on 624 B.C against the Bani Kuyanuka, the Bani nadir in 625 B.C. and the Jewish tribe of Bani Quraiza in 627 B.C., all of whom he attacked and then exterminated. He murdered 700 hundred Jews of Bani Kunayuka in one morning alone, while the Bani Quraiza saw between 800 to 900 people murdered, even after they had surrendered. The horrors of these incidents were so pronounced, that even Karen Armstrong, a revered figure amongs the Muslim community, was forced to compare it with ‘Nazi barbarism’.
Many researchers have constantly pointed out with proof, as to how terrorists such as Bin Laden, Bangla Bhai, Golam Azam and Mohammed Ata adopt then imitated Islam down to the very last verse, before using it as an excuse to justify their actions. Readers, if you wish to know more about these things, I would like to take the liberty to refer you to a book published on ‘Mukto Mona’ – ‘Je Shotto Bola Hoini’ by Akash Malik.
