Two Key Muslim Leaders Who Have Eyes To See

The two exceptions to our World's misguided leadership are both Muslim. Their strength is to think in terms of how things are instead of how the majority of our world's self appointed thinkers assume that things should be. The two of whom I speak are King Abdullah of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Arif Rafiq, the author of the Monitor's October 4 realistic article, "A Muslim Solution For Afghanistan." The second half of his article's title is: "Let Muslim Nations, Not A Western Coalition, Lead The Mission To Bring Peace There."

It is obvious to many the credit deserved by the progressive thinking, but too often blamed King for his decisive leadership role in keeping our World's economy relatively stable during these turbulent economic times largely precipitated by the irresponsible U.S. banking industry. But in contrast to King Abdullah's recognition, is the little known Muslim Mid East consultant who has proposed a progressive quite reasonable alternative plan to the military centric U.S. proposal to bring stability to especially the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. For the time has now come to heed the following words of Professor Andrew Bacevich as stated in his recent letter to Foreign Affairs.

"The real need is to wean the United States from its infatuation with military power and come to a more modest appreciation of what force can and cannot do."

And I would personally add to the Boston University Professor's advice, this relevant addition. The U.S. must discontinue its unwise presumption that predominately Christian (considered infidel) U.S. military forces will eventually be successful in stabilizing the understandably resentful and suspicious Muslim people of Afghanistan and the border region of Pakistan. For both Professor Bacevich's observation with my needed addition should make it obvious that it must be Muslim nations and not Western nominally Christian nations that must be the leading force and the predominant force to bring lasting stability to this totally Muslim region. And this is precisely what consultant Arif Rafiq proposes in his October 4, 2009 CS Monitor article.

However, because Afghanistan is such a key strategic location this expert's common sense, Muslim centric plan will receive major opposition from the self interests of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex and NATO unless the persuasive and hopefully wise and pragmatic Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the reasonable and broad thinking President Barack Obama can convince key U.S. and key world leaders of the long range advantages and eventual necessity of such a Muslim centric plan for Afghanistan.

As an American who is watching all the major U.S. political leaders debate Afghanistan on T.V., such as the broad thinking President Obama, our Secretary of State, the knowledgeable Hillary Clinton, our Defense Secretary, the wise Robert Gates, and even the out of the box extraordinary pundit, Fareed Zakariya, one strange phenomenon is obvious. It is absolutely crazy how U.S. Centric and military centric each of them is when it comes to a realistic long range solution for the complex Afghanistan "War On Terror", or whatever it is currently called.

As of now the main strategic, but inappropriate question that they are each heatedly asking and debating is which is the most appropriate military solution for the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

Is the most appropriate and realistic solution the new rage in military thinking presently favored by our Commanding U.S. General, Stanley McChrystal and also favored by former head of the U.S. Central Command, General Anthony Zinni, the slow and very financially costly, Counter Insuragecy or COIN? COIN would at least temporarily require another 40,000 U.S. troops, and an additional ten years. Furthermore, it virtually requires rebuilding the nation of Afghanistan from scratch. This strategy would hopefully defeat the insurgency, protect the Afghan population and create a viable U.S. ally out of Afghanistan.

The second major U.S. centric option being considered is favored by Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser, James Jones and International Relations Expert at Boston University, Andrew Bacevich. This less costly and less troop intensive option would be a more targeted counter terrorism strategy which would conduct intelligence driven attacks against Al-Queda with minimal American "footprint."

A Muslim Centric Plan for Afghanistan

As a person who takes the reality of the Middle Eastern virgin born Messiah of both the Quran and the Injeel still being alive and available in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region, I see both of these two American Centric military strategies as doomed for failure. Both strategies are terribly myopic, arrogant, American Centric, xenophobic, weapons dependent and anti-Muslim. Therefore, I am first going to present a radical spiritual strategy. Hopefully, this radical strategy is grounded in realism from both the Holy Quran and the Injeel. I realize and very much respect the reality that both Afghanistan and Pakistan are almost totally Muslim nations and are surrounded by virtually totally Muslim countries. So I believe that integrating what I will now present regarding the role of ALLAH's now available Middle Eastern Living Messiah with the Muslim leadership of the nearby Muslim nations, is a million times more realistic for Afghanistan and border Pakistan Muslims than what is currently coming from ubiquitous non Muslim U.S. thinkers. So I sincerely believe that until U.S. leaders thoughtfully consider all of the Muslim Centric proposals set forth by Arif Rafiq, the head of Vizier Consulting, who is a wise relevant Muslim expert on the security issues of the Middle East, because his proposal demands exceedingly serious consideration. To ignore or to marginalize his Muslim, Middle East Centric solution for Afghanistan and its Pakistan border is to waste not only trillions of dollars but it also callously wastes rivers of Afghani, Pakistani, and American blood. Additionally, to ignore his common sense proposal is to unwisely not realize that the blood of the unnecessary victims is very precious to ALLAH. So please, oh American leaders, humble your arrogant hearts and seriously listen to the advice of this Muslim man who I believe to be a wise envoy uniquely provided by ALLAH.

But even though Arif Rafiq's common sense, Muslim Centric proposal for Afghanistan provides a major improvement in the chances of successful stabilization there, there is still one major blind spot that virtually guarantees ultimate failure. That is, each and every side in this multiple sided conflict is totally and blatantly ignoring one main reality. ALLAH has His own now Risen, Living Messiah present in the region and his dynamic, "will make a difference presence", is being absolutely and counter-productively ignored. Therefore, I will now present eleven steps that will provide a firm foundation for removing the main barriers that presently prevent the Taliban Muslims from recognizing the helpful and very real presence of ALLAH's Risen Living Messiah's who is right now in their midst. And when Al-Quran is understood correctly, it is truly The Holy Quran's now Living Messiah who is actually now walking in the midst of the Muslim Taliban. Thus, I will now present my own very Risen Messiah Centric Plan which I hope will be integrated appropriately with Arif Rafiq's Muslim Nations centric plan.

The Taliban Will Soon Free Afghanistan If..

Dear Taliban and all Tribal Leaders,

ALLAH is on your side against destructive American technology, drones and vastly superior firepower if you continue to follow this eleven-step plan that you are already mostly following. Significantly, eleven is the exact number of times the Holy Quran calls the miraculous now still living son of the Virgin Maryam the highly honored title of Messiah.

Eleven Steps For the U.S. To Leave

1. You must now decide on the basis of what the Quran truly teaches in An-Nisa 4:157 to now hold ancient Israel guilty for murdering your Messiah who is also ALLAH's Messiah, and is Al-Quran's Messiah and is the Injeel's Messiah. Most importantly, you can simultaneously hold Israel guilty for this ugly murder of ALLAH's only Messiah while still understanding that in the exact sense of what killed and crucified mean, he was neither killed nor was he truly crucified.
2. So you must finally acknowledge that ancient Israel is totally guilty for two thousand years ago murdering ALLAH's own Jihadi for Justice whom the Holy Quran emphatically declares to be eminent/wajih in both this present world and also to be eminent/wajih in the next world (Please see Holy Quran, Al-Imran 3:45).
3. When you believe that Al-Quran in An-Nisa 4:157 teaches you that ALLAH's True Non Violent Jihadi for Justice from Bethlehem was truly not killed, you are right.
4. When you believe that Al Quran teaches you in this same verse that the Jews did not successfully crucify ALLAH's Own Jihadi for Justice, you are right.
5. When you believe that Al-Quran teaches you that ALLAH's Bethlehem man was raised up alive (An-Nisa 4:158) by the Wisdom and Might of ALLAH Himself, you are right.
6. However, you need to realize that the Quran contains verses that teach (see Al-Baqarah 5:41, Yunus 10:94) you to believe the true unchanged Scriptures of the Injeel about the Messiah's three days of temporary death. Then you will understand that these earlier Scriptures of the Injeel truly teach that when the Jews temporarily murdered Isa Ibn Maryam on the execution post, that they were not able to truly kill him or truly crucify him because ALLAH's Might allowed the Jews to only keep him dead for 3 days. Therefore you are right to understand that even the Jews and the Romans together could not truly kill or truly crucify ALLAH's own still living Messiah because after three days ALLAH raised him up alive. The Holy Quran did not need to again say after "three days," because the Injeel which the Quran states that the Quran confirms, had already often repeated the time period of his three days of death (please see Injeel Mark 8:31, Mark 9:31, Mark 10:34 and Holy Quran, An-Nisa 4:158).

   Though it had "appeared to them" (the Jews)-"shubbiiha lahum" that
   they had forever killed the son of the Virgin Maryam, they had neither truly killed him nor had they truly crucified him because after three dark days, ALLAH's Wisdom and His Might raised him up alive (An-Nisa 4:158).

7. If you have heard that the Scriptures before the Quran teach in 8 or 9 different Old Testament places that when most of the Jews' food supply to Jerusalem was cut off by foreign invaders, that the hungry mothers and fathers actually cooked and ate their own children, you heard right (The Old Testament/Torah does document in 8 or 9 places that ancient Jewish mothers and fathers did during these times of attack satisfy their own hunger by eating their own children. A paper on this web site about Jews eating their own children lists each of those Scriptural references about parents eating their children.
8. If you happen to believe that the Quran teaches that the Jews changed these Scriptures which the Quran does not teach, then when they were supposedly changing their Scriptures, isn't it true that the Jews would have deliberately removed each of those shameful places describing them eating their own children (So now you are right in understanding that the Jews did not change their own Scriptures that were being read before the Quran. Because if they had changed their Scriptures they would have most certainly also removed the "eating children" Scriptures.
9. Since you are now able to be certain that the Jews did not change the Scriptures about the Messiah's 3 days of temporary death, this reveals that you can now believe that the Holy Quran is totally correct when the Quran emphatically states that Ibn Maryam was truly not killed and was truly not crucified in the true sense of what killed or crucified is always intended to mean, which is permanent death. For ALLAH's Messiah, definitely was not truly killed nor was there any true crucifixion. This is very definitely the case because if ALLAH's Messiah had been truly killed or truly crucified, His Messiah could not have been alive a few days later showing sincere care for his own small group of peaceful Taliban by frying fish over charcoals for them to eat on the beach so that they could enjoy a nice lakeside breakfast with him. This breakfast occurred after ALLAH had used His own Wisdom and His own Might to raise His Own Peaceful Jihadi Messiah up alive after the unsuccessful attempt by certain virtually atheist Jews to permanently kill him (Please see Al-Quran/An-Nisa 4:158 and Injeel-John 21:1-14).
10. Therefore, on the basis of so many Muslim Pakistanis, Muslim Afghanis and Muslim Wazaris now being able to have a clear conscience toward ALLAH, a clear conscience toward the Prophet Muhammad, a clear conscience toward the Holy Quran, and a clear conscience toward the Injeel, about the Messiah's temporary death and being raised alive, these Muslims will now wonderfully benefit from this truly comforting spiritual reality. Due to ALLAH's Wisdom and His Power, they will now know that the now Risen son of the Virgin Maryam is at this very moment standing and even weeping nearby each and every Muslim my American nation is using our killer weapons and unmanned drones to attack and kill. But the Risen Messiah is also near all the Muslims who are not now under our attack. Compassionately, he will warmly and comfortingly embrace each Muslim who is now ready to accept his embrace. Truly, ALLAH's Risen compassionate Messiah will spiritually embrace all precious Muslims whether that man or woman, boy or girl is a Taliban Muslim, or an Al-Qaeda Muslim or an unaffiliated civilian Wazari, Pakistani or Afghani Muslim.
11. On the basis of many, many Muslims now spiritually embracing ALLAH's Own Risen Jihadi for Peace and Justice, who is none other than His now Risen man from Bethlehem, peace will now be able to spring up in Afghanistan, Waziristan and Pakistan like beautiful blooming Spring flowers.

Significantly, ALLAH empowered His now Risen Messiah to experience his first earthly life through the wonderful miracle of the virgin birth from the womb of the pure Maryam. And it was the second major empowering miracle that gave the grown son of the Virgin Maryam his second life when ALLAH raised him up from three days of darkness in his temporary earthly death to new vibrant physical and spiritual life.

But as a glorious result of this second major impossible miracle concerning ALLAH's Messiah's new life by his being raised alive by ALLAH, the Messiah's glorious defeat of the evil Jewish apparatus combined with his miraculous defeat of death itself, has now opened a wonderful door. That newly opened door is miraculously able to empower and unite the multiple and diverse Afghani and Wazari tribal leaders to now have a new powerful consensus message to present to the American and NATO political and military leaders. This message is a liberating message of peace, which declares a concrete spiritual way to soon end the hostilities in Afghanistan and on the Pakistani border. This message of peace is also for those leaders in the Karazi administration who are willing to renounce and abandon violence, injustice and corruption when they are aided by ALLAH's Risen Messiah to do so.

On the basis of the sometimes trustworthy American leadership publicly proclaiming that when the many diverse tribal leaders will each seriously agree to stand against the violent and destructive agenda of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the U.S. has publicly pledged that there will be no more need for killing and war in the border regions of these two nations. So when these eleven steps are followed and there is a public embracing of ALLAH's Risen, non-violent but powerful Messiah by a majority of tribal leaders and their followers, there is no good reason why violence needs to continue between tribe and tribe, between tribes and Al-Qaeda, between tribes and the Al Karazi central government, between tribes and the U.S. and between tribes and NATO.

When this spiritual and practical triumph provided by ALLAH occurs, and there is no reasonable reason that it should not and could not occur with ALLAH's blessing. At that time the Wazaris, the Pakistanis and the Afghanis can each regain their own land and their own nations back from the excessive bloodshed brought by U.S. and NATO destructive technology. And this new era of peace and reconciliation will be made possible only when ALLAH's Peaceful, Wise, Risen Middle Eastern Messiah will be spiritually welcomed into the midst of this war torn region. His calming and peaceful presence and influence along with the rich spiritual ALLAH oriented heritage left to Muslims by the Wise, Caring Prophet Muhammad which will be daily reinforced by the Holy Quran, and also supported by sincere Muslim daily prayers, will bring these sincere Muslims a peace with themselves, a peace with each other and a sustainable peace with other willing nations.

This new peace will be well beyond any peace that could ever be imposed by a considered foreign infidel power attempting to force upon them a western Jeffersonian Democracy. Why is it so difficult for the college educated American political leaders and military generals to understand that it is not reasonable to insist or even expect that the many, many diverse tribes of Afghanistan will become peacefully united under one central government? Is this reality really that difficult for supposedly educated American leaders to understand?

In a refreshing contrast to the U.S. leadership's stubbornness, ignorance, callousness and arrogance, ALLAH's very experienced local Risen Messiah from nearby Bethlehem understands the local customs and even the important Middle Eastern traditions of hospitality. So he will be quite appreciative of being spiritually invited to share a meal prepared by members of today's Taliban rather than his needing to be the chef and host for a fish breakfast like he prepared for his small peaceful Taliban-like group after ALLAH had raised him to new life. This was after it had appeared – shubbiiha lahum to the Jews that they had ended his life forever. But those spiritually deficient Jews were not only unable to understand that ALLAH has the power to cause a pure virgin to have a baby. But they also could not understand that ALLAH indeed had the power to raise that grown baby up alive after it appeared to the spiritually limited Jews (shubbiiha lahum) that they had successfully and permanently murdered him. But to those Jews, it was as though they were atheists who thought that ALLAH could not raise His Messiah from death. Because to them, ALLAH virtually did not exist and still does not exist. So if He virtually did not exist, then He had no Messiah. To those First Century Jews and to many present day Jews, ALLAH in reality does not exist. For if He did not exist, He certainly could not have raised from death His true Messiah who the Jews brutally murdered.

But in a wonderful contrast to so many atheist Jews, true Muslims cannot be atheists. So a true Muslim should have no difficulty in understanding that the true ALLAH who does exist, raised His only Messiah up alive after certain atheist Jews unsuccessfully attempted to kill him forever.

But because ALLAH caused them to be utter failures at even killing and murder, today ALLAH's Risen Messiah is spiritually residing among Muslims unless they are Muslim atheists who cannot believe and understand that ALLAH could have raised from death His only Messiah.

Not Killed But Temporarily Killed

Two straightforward questions that this eleven point plan should have answered are these regarding the combination of the true teaching of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158.

Question One:
When ALLAH's Wisdom and ALLAH's Might are involved, can ALLAH's Messiah, who is identified as His Messiah 11 times in the Holy Quran, have been historically crucified without having been spiritually crucified?

Answer:
Yes! When ALLAH's everlasting Wisdom and His everlasting Might are involved to raise His Messiah up alive after 3 days of death, the whole reality of what it truly means to be crucified has been changed because ALLAH's everlasting Might and His everlasting Wisdom has totally changed what crucifixion truly means. Because ALLAH raised him up alive and truly crucified people are not soon alive. (Please see An-Nisa 4:158.)

Question Two:
When ALLAH's everlasting Wisdom and His everlasting Might are involved, is it appropriate for the Holy Quran to state that ALLAH's Messiah was truly not killed (see An-Nisa 4:157) when he was actually historically killed for three days?

Answer:
Definitely yes! Because when ALLAH's own everlasting Might and ALLAH's everlasting Wisdom are involved, the reality of being killed and not being killed, being crucified and not being crucified, life and not life, are put beyond man's ability to comprehend what ALLAH's Wisdom and Might are capable of. ALLAH's Might and Wisdom are certainly capable of easily solving what appears to man as apparently unsolvable contradictions. To decide otherwise is to choose to be a partial atheist who cannot accept the reality of the miracle.

Two examples from the Quran should enable us understand that it is ALLAH's will for us to realize that His miraculous special events will often be beyond our human way of looking at them and understanding them.

The Virgin Birth Impossibility

Example One:
The order of natural birth is that the seed or sperm of a male is planted within a woman by either a man or more recently, by human technology. Often that seed causes a child to grow within that woman. This natural order has repeatedly occurred many billions of times in the human race as the natural method to bring all children into this world. Nevertheless, despite those billions of times of birth always occurring this same precise way, in the Quran's Al-Anbiya 21:91, that natural order was changed one time for the birth of ALLAH's one and only Messiah. So that time and only that one time, it was ALLAH's Spirit that put into the womb of Maryam, the infant Messiah, so that both she and her virgin born Messiah would be a sign for all peoples. So that one time in all of history and only that one time in history, human sperm had absolutely nothing to do with the birth of a person and that impossible baby was ALLAH's baby Messiah. Nevertheless, to originally understand and accept this impossible mighty miracle of the Messiah's Virgin birth required an entire new way of thinking. Therefore, previous to being informed of the Virgin birth by the inspired Scriptures, this type of impossible miracle baby was well beyond what the human imagination had considered possible, even with a supernatural miracle. So don't let any Muslim, who is not a 100% (miya fil miya) atheist, think for one minute that ALLAH did not raise his virgin born Messiah up alive from death.

Those Killed in the Way of ALLAH Are Not Dead

Example Two:
Though ALLAH and the Holy Quran are not in favor of human warfare, the Quran teaches that there are times of exception when a person is killed when fighting in the "way of ALLAH", who is not really killed. (Please see Al-Quran's Al Imran 3:169 and Al-Baqarah 2:154). The Quran, in these two very clear verses, is explicit and emphatic that when the person loses his or her life in the way of ALLAH, a new pattern or new way of thinking such as is required to understand and accept the impossible virgin birth, must replace the natural way of our thinking. Therefore, the Quran demands in both Al-Imran 3:169 and in Al-Baqarah 2:154 that the person who is killed, or who is crucified, or who is hung, or who is shot, or who is poisoned, or who is bombed, or who is murdered or in any other way loses his life while the person is "in the way of ALLAH," is definitely not to be thought of or not spoken of or not written of as dead or as temporarily dead or as permanently dead.

It is Al-Imran 3:169 that emphasizes that the person is not to be even thought of as dead. Then it is Al-Baqarah 2:154 that states that the person is not to be spoken of as dead. Thus, An-Nisa 4:157 is explicitly obeying the clear demand of these two strong verses in the Holy Quran revealed in two totally different surahs in Al-Imran and Al-Baqarah when it obediently states that ALLAH's Messiah was neither killed nor was he crucified. For to state that he was either killed or was crucified would have been to disobey the Quran and say that he was dead. So the strong 4:157 does not give in to the totally wrong thinking that the Messiah was temporarily or permanently dead by being killed or crucified by the Jews. Because this event of what they did to him definitely occurred to him while he was in the "way of ALLAH". Therefore, it is demanded by the Quran that he must neither be spoken nor even thought of as ever having been dead. So the wonderful fact that the Messiah was raised up to ALLAH as An-Nisa 4:158 concisely states, totally eliminates any reason for the Quran or for us to think of, speak of or write of his having been dead. So of course An-Nisa 4:158,
("But ALLAH raised him up unto Himself. And ALLAH is ever All-Powerful, ALL-Wise") does not state that ALLAH raised him up three days after his death because the Holy Quran is so unequivocally demanding that a person who is slain in the way of ALLAH never be spoken of, not thought of or obviously never written of as ever having been dead. And this was the rule presented by the Holy Quran, but it was not the rule from the previous written Injeel.

Al-Baqarah 2:154: ("And say not of those who are slain in the way of ALLAH, 'They are dead.'"

Al-Imran 3:169: "Think not of those who are slain in ALLAH's way as dead."

However, in considering the words and language that the Holy Quran demands to be avoided when discussing the slain person, one important point must be made very clear. By avoiding saying certain words and by avoiding thinking certain thoughts, never no never does that emphatic teaching from the Holy Quran even imply that the person or group or nation who is guilty of the killing, or guilty of the murder, or guilty of the illegal, non-judicial execution, should not be exposed and held accountable. So the up until now avoided accountability by the Jews of the cowardly murder of ALLAH's own anointed Messiah is a major injustice. So this gross injustice is the reason that it is now necessary on the www.alqasas.net website to clarify the torturous death and gruesome murder that did historically occur. Thus, millions of faithful Muslims will now realize that instead of ALLAH aiding His only Messiah to flee death, and flee an extrajudicial execution, He empowered him to be raised to new life. Thus, he defeated death while also defeating the Jews. So now he is empowered to be a living Messiah among all Muslims to aid them in their continuous battle against religious racism, religious bigotry, religious injustice and also political and military injustice.

The Dawn of A New Day

So the Taliban of Afghanistan, the Taliban of Waziristan and the Taliban of Pakistan now can understand beyond the shadow of a doubt that the All-Powerful ALLAH in His great Wisdom and spectacular Might raised His Messiah (An-Nisa 4:158) up to new life. Therefore, the Risen Messiah is now alive and present with Muslims, whether it is in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya, in Lebanon, in the West Bank and in Gaza, etc. Thus, the following three steps must now be taken to free these vulnerable people from U.S. and NATO death and destruction.

The Wonderful Plan

With the spiritual assistance and spiritual guidance of ALLAH and His alive and present Messiah, as many tribal leaders as possible must get together in small or larger groups to take these three important steps:

1. To agree that ALLAH's Risen, peaceful Messiah resides among them.
2. To agree that they want to do all that they possibly can to as peacefully as possible, to drive the blood loving Al-Qaeda from their midst.
3. In as practical and effective way as possible, communicate with U.S. and NATO leaders to immediately stop their hostilities and killer drone attacks. And, as quickly as possible, to stop the corruption and hostilities of the Karzai leadership. Then plead with the foreign non Muslim forces to leave their region as soon as possible on the basis of the public U.S. promise to leave under the conditions of de facto disabling Al-Queda that have now been met.

Though obviously the U.S. will not agree for all of our troops and supplies to immediately be removed from Afghanistan, at least we will have on agreement in principle that a majority of the unpleasant American presence will be removed as quickly as possible. Then, what now must be considered as a bloody war against the Taliban will no longer be the Taliban dreading the destructive power of the U.S. advanced weapons. Because U.S. weapons will no longer be used against Afghani and Pakistani human beings offensively.

Also, not to be overlooked or minimized is the encouraging reality that the male Taliban's new awareness of ALLAH's now Living Risen man from Bethlehem in their midst (An-Nisa 4:158) will cause this very religious Taliban to now treat their women and especially the female children with a much greater compassion. For each Taliban father, brother, uncle, etc. will now fully understand that ALLAH's Living Messiah is among them watching them closely. And he will hold each individual Taliban forever accountable for how he treats these precious girls and women who belong to ALLAH and not to them. For each Taliban will remember that ALLAH has appointed His anointed Messiah to be his personal Judge.

So now oh Muslim leaders and followers, please integrate all that you have just read about ALLAH's now Living Messiah being among you into what I have suggested at the beginning of this paper about Arif Rafiq's wise counsel that it is Muslim nations such as are in the Organization of the Islamic Conference wherein the solution for Afghanistan is and not with the non Muslim U.S. Coalition and with NATO. No! To continue to trust American's militaristic, arrogant narrow thinking is totally counter productive and suicidal. Instead it is countries such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, even Iran, and the Shanghai Cooperation organization for donations and expertise which includes China and Russia, which will assume responsibility. This also will include Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, and of course the United Arab Emirates. So the Afghan political, religious and tribal leaders will gather together in a loya jirga or grand council to consider what Muslim nations and even non Muslim organizations to involve such as the IMF, and Islamic Development Bank. Also, through the auspices of the Pakistani Army and the Saudi royal family a Muslim plan to rescue Afghanistan will be presented to the leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Muhammad Omar.

Is it not obvious that when the U.S. steps aside and humbly realizes that a Muslim nation centric plan far exceeds in excellence a U.S. Centric Plan as much as the light of the sun exceeds in excellence the light of a small flashlight. Except the flashlight does not have the vast potential for death, suffering, chaos and destructive harm that the U.S. military does.

The New U.S. Terror Industrial Complex

There is one additional major obstacle to the U.S. being willing to turn the conflict of terror in Waziristan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan over to Muslim leaders that was made public by the national media only today on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. That is, Mr. Olbermann actually apologized to his viewers that he had unintentionally allowed a major serious warning by no less an authority than General Collin Powell given in a September 2007 interview with GQ Magazine to totally slip by him until today, October 15, 2009, over two years later. As General Eisenhower had gravely warned America about the steadily increasing power and influence of the mighty U.S. Military Industrial Complex (a warning, that with great harm, has been totally ignored) an equally concerned and wise General Powell has warned about the gathering power and financially drain of the new constantly growing Terror Industrial Complex. Although General Eisenhower's warning had been more comprehensive and dramatic, this necessary warning by General Powell that has been strangely and unexplainably ignored by the press and media, has equally ominous and significant implications for how the powerful U.S. weapons establishment will continue to spend more and more boat loads of money on the War On Terror whether it's called "War On Terror" or some other misleading title, or whether it's fought in the U.S. or in the regions of Afghanistan. But for the U.S. to out source the lucrative terror business to Muslim leaders will meet stiff resistance from the ubiquitous multitudes of recently retired military officers who are a new wave of now influential, well paid lobbyists for the money hungry U.S. Weapons Industry to the often gullible if not greedy Congressmen.
