Chapter ( 4 )

The problem is , although America is about 300 millions , there are only 15 preachers who can speak English perfectly , and can convey the principles of Islam rightly . It would be impossible for both the American and the European countries to know the true creed of Islam . The Arabs are demanded to spend more money on training good preachers who could speak clearly , pure English to clarify the pillars of Islam .Not only that but to establish a lot of Satellites and TV channels devoted only to speak about Islam and the history of the Arabs , and the Muslims all around the world . These , of course in different languages .

The Arabs seem to live , each, in isolated islands . The Arabs did well when they curbed their reaction towards the waves of attack from different circles . This situation can not continue for long, not only because it contradicts the normal course of relations but because our interests , security and strategies can not be fulfilled under these circumstances . the main problem today is the (address of hatred ) that took place immediately after the September attacks .Such an address is exercising pressure on our ties , which should be healthy and cooperative .the problem is getting more complicated with the US attempting to form an international alliance that tightens the – siege – on the Arab and Islamic world So feelings of victimization are aggravated and the waves of violence escalate .

Resolution makers in America think that the Palestinian case is only a problem like that of Afghanistan or even Iraq . Washington does not realize that up till now , the Palestinian case is a context , not only a problem . In other worlds , the sufferings the Palestinian people had lived since 1948 till these days , besides violating the land while the whole world see and hear ; this formulated both the Arabic and the Islamic awareness in their relations with the Western world and with the US in particular .

Not only that , but it formed the Arabic political awareness regarding its inside priorities and its own political agenda .Now we can see the Palestinian affair in most of the Arab newspapers , as well as the broadcasts , and TV channels , there we are not in front of a case , looking at it as an (: issue ) , but we must look at it as a ( context ) , formulating the Arab conscience and construction , and affects the Arab vision towards the whole world and its great values concerning prejudice and justice . In every Arab country , the peoples reproach their countries for what they did to the Palestinian cause .On the same level the Arabs did not digest 11 September events that they were not only incidents but they were context changed the heart of the American vision to the whole world .

The Arabs think that the dilemma of stability starts from solving the problem ‘ context , which affects all their political cases from the economical development , to education , to the form of ruling , so , solving the Palestinian cause will help the Arabs to solve their other problems . As for Washington , sees stability comes from two stages . the first one is to confront directly with terrorist organization and the second is to dehydrate the sources of terrorism including the dictatorial regimes . Washington thought that toppling the Iraqi regime was a priority .

On occupying the land of Iraq means an occupation for a long time .the consequences of this occupation is not less dangerous for the zone than that of the first world war .What we can see now in the middle east is just the blood of the Ottoman empire which died away in this war but still its blood bleeding in Palestine and in Balkan. . The uncalculated consequences of occupying Iraq led to not only bleeding the individuals , but for the country , too Washington will perform by – pass operation in the middle east .

The bleeding areas will start with Palestine where we can see daily killing , then Algeria , the Sudan ; bleeding twenty years ago , to Somalia , to rule Iraq is not that simple , to impose discipline is not only to collect rubbish and to make sure that water supplies or electricity supplies go right under Tommy Franks . Washington should know that they will not carry out democracy in Iraq whatever time they last there They always will be in need to the strong man , to the general dictator to preserve discipline . If Washington stays in Iraq for a long time , that means the Americans interfere in the middle east directly . There will be a conflict for the sake of liberating Iraq from Washington' grip .The story of the British occupation will happen again and the circle of Violence will start again .

The first winners of American interference in Iraq in the zone around which are non Arabs are Turkey , Iran and Israel . The ultimate goal is to reach the condition where Israel and Iran were on good terms like that in the 70th. Before the Islamic revolution in Iran .The Americans interests extend to Asia through the American – Chinese relation .The US , now considers china as one of its competitors in the world regime , particularly if we realize that the economical growth rate in China reached more than 9 per cent ,the point makes China a tremendous economical power .The process of hugging China is at top priorities . Washington ties to siege china across the extended coalition from Israel , Turkey , to Iran . But , has all this something to do with Iraq ?

If we understand that 80 per cent of oil that goes to China comes from the Arabian Gulf ,we will know that the American domain on the Gulf oil is basic in its strategy towards taming China or besieging it . America used beforehand the Gulf zone to domesticate its European rival .the world regime is now unilateral in which the US dominates militarily and politically . the European union , China as well as Japan and the US are competing economically . Since Europe ,China and Japan depend wholly on the petroleum of the Gulf as a source of energy

in the time where America imports only 12 percent from the Gulf oil .It becomes obvious

that the American insistence in the Gulf is not only to insurance the oil to America cheaply or

at least reasonably but to stress on Europe , Japan and China . Thus , America uses its

military power for economical sovereignty and the military , political domain converts to

political economical and military sovereignty .

In order to , , or to put it into implementation , the interference in Iraq is essential,

what is different this time is not to depend on the Arabs much in this equation . America

will depend on non Arab counties like Iran , Israel , India , and Turkey . The Arabs have no

choice in this time or after the war but to learn a tough lesson , to depend on themselves ,

to educate and to deal with the modern technology , to change the long - term ruling

system which I doubt because it is impossible ; it will take centuries - even it gets worse

since it turns into monarchies ---- to believe in democracy and freedom of expression ( only the

Hyde park talks seemingly freedom ) ; to raise up their hands from the guardianship of

their peoples . The Arabs should think of all these lessons or else that will be imposed

from outside . The Arabs are lucky because the west need expensive oil ; and the appearance f Hamas on the stage ; all these made America restrain for a while .

Since the September attacks , the Arabs , the Muslims and their messenger are

exposed to biased media campaign in CNN for instance , on the weekly programme

'' 60 minutes'' the interviewer hosted seven thinkers among one of them was the priest

Jerry Floil , one of the leaders of Christian American coalition , he said '' he thinks that

Muhammad the prophet is a terrorist and he is a man of war not a man of peace '' anyway , there is a fact about the terrorist . He is the one that attacks people,

destroying their houses besieging them and confiscating their earns and taking violently

their properties. The terrorist is the conceited one who doesn't accept advice . He who

hates justice , obsessed by the devil and forgot any virtue and spreading any vice .

Muhammad ; the messenger '' peace and prayers be upon him '' was not

from his birth till he met his God ; peace was his morals , filtered in his soul , his behavior

and in his treatments with other people . Before he was a prophet , he was titled the ' honest ‘

sincere ' Every one loved him for the purity of his soul and for his care to spread love ,

intimacy and peace . When he was a prophet, he stayed 13 years in Mecca , inviting

people to worship Allah ; the ONE , the CONQUEROR . to be bestowed with good manners

and to spread the spirit of peace .

He was shown from his enemies a lot of harm , oppression , boycott and

bargaining .In spite of all that he didn't raise up a sword or a spear in the face of the

oppressors. He met their harm patiently and friendly and praying for them , he said

'' I beseech you God to direct my folk to the right because they don't know ''

Having immigrated to al Medina , and after building his new- born state , his motto

was to call for Islam and security .All his conquests were for self- defense .

' Badr conquest ' where he was victorious over his enemies was for the victory

of the weak of Muslims who couldn't migrate and who were assaulted by the disbelievers

' Ohod conquest' , the disbelievers came themselves to Medina suburbs to

fight the Muslims who were obliged to defend themselves and money . El 'Ahzab conquest'

, the disbelievers surrounded and besieged Al Medina with their allies . the prophet had to

defend ; together , with his friends ; their souls and rights . 'Mecca conquest' was motivated

by standing side by side with the oppressed who were attacked by the aggressors .

However , he was careful to stop shedding blood of his enemies . He said to them

'' go you are free '' he forgave them all . He said '' peace from Islam '' . '' spread peace

among you ''. '' Don't hope to meet the enemies and ask Allah to be safe ''

One of his prayers '' I beseech you PEACE ; one of Allah' name --and peace from you

and peace from you , and greet us with peace '' Every wise man can realise that all Muhammad's

life was based on co- operation and piety not on vice and aggression .

On the other hand , the administration of president Bush claimed that it fights againstextremism and terrorism and that the international coalition led by this administration is to

eradicate the ' axis of evil ' and the power which embraces terrorism . But , in time ,

we discover the volume of failure of the efforts of this administration . It became its need

to cover this failure by means of searching about new enemies . To accuse Bin Laden isn't

enough , nor even to accuse Taliban and Al ' Qaeda ' nor Iraq or Iran or Korea.

It appeared the necessity of expanding the circle of hostility to include an international

religion like Islam with its followers around the whole world

It is difficult now to accept the pretext repeated by president Bush more than once after the events of September when he called for forgiveness and not abusing Islam and its followers around the world .; whereas his administration is full of scores of close councilors and advisers , their mission is to blow up the fire of hostility against Islam They give , in public statements far from tolerance and coherence between the other cultures and religion . whether it is maneuvering or distributing the roles – in the form of defending Islam . The mask was cleared away from faces and groups of hawks posting in the position of making resolutions in the white house and the ministry of defense . In a report in ‘ Washington Post ‘appeared a statement to Kenneth Ulman from Pentagon , announced that it is difficult to describe Islam as a religion of peace ----- and Muhammad but a fighter , not advocator of peace like Christ . Likewise , in an article written by Eliot Cohen in ‘ Wall street Journal ‘ ” our real enemy is not terrorism but the extremist Islam , and it is a religion full of violence “. Another example is Powel Weirsch in the White House , he emphasized that what worries him most is that Bush’s administration is carrying all the time to assure that Islam is a religion of peace like Judaism and Christianity .

No doubt that these extremist hawks in the heart of the American administration are leading the world to cultural and civilisational conflict between the other religions and other people and ditching the hiatus of hatred between America and Arabs and Islamic peoples . besides , giving Ben Laden the chance to carry out his goals in stimulating the hostility against America and the west . The fact that peace is one of the origin of the doctrine of Islam . the word Islam is taken from the material of peace .

Islam and peace stand side by side to provide security and assurance to all mankind that belong to one father and one mother .

Another fact is that all the religions ordered people to respect , and to love all the prophets , besides to believe in all the prophets . After all that when the priest Jerry Floil or others when they say that ‘ Moses gave the paragon , and the Christ called for peace , but Muhammad called for the opposite ‘. We can not differentiate between the messengers in love and respect . If someone does that , then his creed is deteriorated and he ignored the clear facts about the heavenly legislations .
