Bush’s Solution Verses ALLAH’S Solution Bush Wants to Kill ALQAEDA and Saddam and Possibly Millions More Muslims There is now a powerful force in the Arab Middle East which Osama Bin Laden has hoped would unite all of Islam and help Islam overthrow certain leaders in the Middle East who are considered by many to be apostate, repressive, corrupt and illegitimate. That powerful force is fierce hate, disgust and resentment toward what Mr. Bin Laden calls the “Hubal of this Age,” the United States. So Mr. Bin Laden sees the U.S. as the great idol which is the main focus of idol worship in the world today and is therefore the main enemy of Islamic purity. There is one very unfortunate fact, which reinforces in many minds the idea that the U.S. deserves to be the idol for Muslims to hate. They can understand why the U.S. is determined to use its own weapons of less than mass destruction to kill all of Al Qae’da and Saddam Hussein. But why the U.S. is so nonchalant about possibly killing millions more Muslims in the process is beyond their comprehension. The near unanimous response of Arabs is that this obsessed president should look in the mirror to find out what a true terrorist looks like. Or, he should keep a picture of his boss, the vice president on his desk, autographed with the words, “The Father of All Terrorists.” There are so many issues that world-wide Muslims have against the U.S. that it almost seem to many that it would be a simple matter to have all of Islam agree to unite against the United States as the main enemy of Islam. Then they believe that Islam could use that momentum to inspire Muslims to unitedly rise up and overthrow those Arab leaders that AL Qae’da has designated as deserving to be overthrown. The issue that sets up the U.S. to be hated in the Middle East more than any other is the longitudinal support which this nation has consistently provided for International Zionism. In this regard it is actually frightening to make just a few comparisons between former U.S. President Harry S. Truman and present U.S. President George W. Bush. Harry S. Truman made it clear that Jewish votes influenced and made necessary his support of Zionism. George W. Bush openly acknowledges his support of Israel and he enthusiastically speaks of that support whenever he has opportunity. Harry S. Truman’s lack of hesitation to use two atomic bombs to drive the Japanese into submission to bring World War II to a close makes it clear regarding his belief that military might makes right. George W. Bush could not make it clearer that he and his administration believe that military might makes right. Though he has not yet used nuclear weapons, he has declared that he would preemptively use nuclear weapons against Iraq or any other nation if his advisors convinced him that the U.S. was in eminent danger. (That is especially scary since “eminent danger” can be so loosely defined.) Harry S. Truman cherished having the reputation of not second guessing himself for making a hard decision that would take the lives of tens of thousands of innocent civilians if in his mind it protected American interests. George W. Bush has made it clear that he is quite willing to make a hard decision, which will take the lives of thousands and thousands of innocent civilians and possible millions and be proud that he did not hesitate to make a hard decision. Regarding President Harry S. Truman’s similar support of International Zionism as George W. Bush, here is a direct Truman quote before the inception of Israel in a speech to American Ambassadors in 1945. “I am sorry, gentleman, but I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism; I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents.” The almost unanimous support that presidents since Truman have had for Zionist interests over justice issues for Palestinians has been a consistent source of rage against the U.S. government. Next to the rage against the unquestioned support of Zionism by the U.S., is the rage against the twelve-year U.S. vendetta, which we have carried on against the Iraqi people under the banner of the punishment of Saddam Hussein. But the root of the U.S. Gulf war against Iraq begins in the front yard of the White House and not in Iraq. The elder Bush, as the younger, had an extreme paranoia about Saddam developing weapons of mass destruction. But as the younger Bush, he had no tangible excuse for destroying Saddam’s weapons program so he had to invent an excuse. Knowing that Iraq had historical claims on the territory of Kuwait, with more validity than some territory that the Christian U.S. has taken over, three different State Department officials made official announcements that the U.S. had no plans or agreements to defend Kuwait. When Saddam took the U.S. bait and did invade Kuwait, the U.S. had the excuse we needed to turn our mighty military resources against Iraq, even manipulating many of Iraq’s brother Islamic nations except Jordan, Yemen and the Palestinians to join us in our attack of Iraq. But, to almost unanimous universal disgust, it is observed that it is the suffering people of Iraq whom we now punish with our sanctions and not the Iraqi government. As a result, the U.S. has earned the deep resentment of almost every Arab living in the Middle East, whether that person is Muslim or Christian. So the two issues of hatred of the U.S. for our rabid support of Israel against Palestinians and our calloused punishment of the people of Iraq are breeding extreme hostility against America. Tragically, this deep hostility exists without even detailing other sources of extensive anti-U.S. hostility in the Middle East. But we must mention a few other sources of suspicion and hate so that we can achieve a greater depth of understanding of the fiery hot rage which exists against the U.S., and understand what the future holds for us if we go ahead with our unprovoked attack on Iraq. This, despite the naïve contention of some U.S. officials who say that: “The Arabs should all be thankful for all the wonderful things the U.S. has done for them such as saving Kuwait and Saudi Arabia from Saddam Hussein. A short list of additional sources of rage and suspicion against the U.S. are: · The U.S. is considered as a nation of crusaders invading the Arab peninsula, which is considered a virtual Holy Land to the Muslims living there. · The U.S. is considered the embodiment of evil for the depraved values we appear to espouse. · The U.S. is considered to be the root cause of poverty, oppression and lawlessness in the Middle East. · The U.S. is perceived as having made a declaration of war against Muslims, Islam and ALLAH. · The U.S. is viewed by many in Islam as having taken an oath of enmity against ALLAH. · The U.S. is viewed by respected Islamic theorists as being composed of a population, which has a “crusader spirit in its blood.” · The U.S. is perceived as having a society, which has as one of its main goals the corrupting of the lives of Muslims. · The U.S. is perceived as having as a goal, the destroying of the religion of Islam. (For those who might question how Muslims could come up with such a ridiculous idea, simply consider these three of many more examples of certain Christian leaders vocal hostility toward Islam. · The President of the very large denomination of Southern Baptists made a public pronouncement that Muhammad was a “demon possessed pedophile.” · The well-known son of Americans most well known and most respected International Christian Evangelist made a public pronouncement that “Islam is evil!” · The former leader of the Moral Majority and now a respected Christian spokesperson of a loud minority of Christians said publicly: “Muhammad was a terrorist!” So do Muslims have tangible reasons to believe the U.S. would like to destroy Islam? Yes they do! · The U.S. is perceived as being the world’s main infidel. · The U.S. is perceived as a nation who wishes to spread its idol worship to the Muslim Middle East. · The U.S. is seen as attempting to exploit and manipulate certain Arab Islamic nations and have them align with the self-interests of the U.S. in attacks against brother Islamic Arab Nations. · The U.S. is considered to have a culture which is a fountain of idolatry, that is working tirelessly to corrupt and pollute Islam. · The U.S. is thought to be behind an exploitive economic globalization, which exploits the Middle East and will take over Mid East Oil when we decide to justify such a move. (Oil Slick Cheney makes these kinds of decisions.) · The U.S. is seen as controlling the international balance of power so as to exploit other nations for the benefit of the U.S. economy and self interests. · The U.S. has a massive weapons industry so that it manipulates other nations to spend billions on U.S. weapons to support the shaky U.S. economy. · The U.S. has a president suffering from foot in mouth disease with a special talent to say stupid things, which are especially offensive to Arabs. Two examples are: · To publicly label the notorious blood thirsty Ariel Sharon as a “man of peace.” · To hold a press conference in the middle at the exact time the Mighty Israeli War Machine was ruthlessly crushing Palestinian cities and refugee camps and publicly announce: “I want the World to know that I will not allow Israel to be crushed.” · The U.S. is observed to have a strong preference for killing people in order to solve disagreements with mighty weapons rather than employing good faith diplomacy. Having listed only a few of the grievances which many Middle Easterners including Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda have against the U.S., I will quickly add my personal observation. There is an active significant minority of Muslims who are hoping and praying that these and other deep grievances against America will help bring unity and integration for the purpose of making certain regime changes in certain Arab nations. They believe this will occur when the U.S. is observed by Muslims as being so cruel to Muslims that we will no longer be tolerated in the Mid East. And we will be driven out when the U.S. begins to deteriorate as a result of certain well organized acts of terror against the U.S. From my perspective Muslims are truly undervaluing Islam and overvaluing the United States. The truth is, Islam does not need a group of committed Muslim extremists to bring terror to the U.S. in order to cause our partial disintegration. Our own idol worship has already sown the seeds of our own internal disintegration. If our only fault were the degree to which we have deified militarism, and deified the myth of our economic superiority and economic invulnerability, these issues are enough to guarantee serious and rapid decline of the U.S. Empire. But, to add to these issues is the reality that U.S. President and the majority of his main colleagues have fine tuned their skill to arrogantly demean and disparage al world leaders who have views which differ from official U.S. policy. Consequently, this nation has systematically created deep destructive resentment against it. Therefore, to have the destruction of the U.S. Empire to be a serious goal for the purpose of unifying Islam, will be a destructive force against Islam and not a positive force, which will be a transcendent unifying force of Islam. The U.S. administration is already very effectively dismantling this nation. To discover what would be a more constructive and transcendent unifying force for Islam, without attempting to be either humorous or superficial, ALLAH is the One to ask. When we seriously make this inquiry of ALLAH, Himself, instead of putting our full trust in Islamic Theorists or religious leaders of any type, we will find that Muslims will be guided to the decisive, transcendent unifying force for Islam that will satisfy the deepest needs of the Umma – the Universal Islamic Community. This answer may at first sound over simplistic and some will say that my answer is a clever and devious approach to manipulate Muslims to open themselves up to be under the subjugation of Western Christianity. I have no hesitation to respond to that concern. In my more than thirty years of interacting with Islam, not for one second has linking Western Christianity with Islam been either my motive or my intention. My own conviction has always been that ALLAH is quite able to communicate with Islam in such a way that the Straight Path of Islam does not become ensnared in some of the deficiencies which have co-opted the American Christian religious establishment. Nevertheless, there are many sincere servants of the Risen Messiah who can be respected by Muslims everywhere, who in the very best sense of the term, are “People of the Book.” Personally, I remain convinced that Ruuh Al Qudus, (The Holy Spirit) who brought life to the Womb of the Virgin Maryam, will bring to Islam the dynamic Spiritual life that will bring a new transcendent life to millions of Middle Eastern Muslims without the influence of Western Christianity. The unifying, transcendent force is ALLAH, Himself, who is totally transcendent and has a pure love for each and every Muslim. So it is only His Power, His Love, His Authority and His Guidance, which will bring peace, joy, unity and victory to all Muslims everywhere. So with Wisdom, ALLAH has anointed His Risen Messiah with His Power, His Love, His Authority and His Ability to Heal. He is the only one ALLAH has living today who understands all Muslims and who strongly desires to bring healing and guidance to all Muslims everywhere. ALLAH’S Messiah came to the Jewish people and he graciously gave them new perspectives on how they were obligated to modify their values. But to their rigid minds, his fresh perspectives were so totally revolutionary that they began suffering “war hysteria” and decided that they had to permanently end his life forever. They conducted their own war on terrorism but they were the ones creating the terror and their war was against only one man. But they lost their war because after they murdered him, in three days he bounced back to life. This amazing event of his defeating death further terrorized them so that they commissioned one of their own young zealot priests, Rabbi Saul, to start terrorizing the Messiah’s followers and sending them to prisons without trials. But ALLAH crushed their hysterical plans by having His Risen Messiah appear to the young rabid Rabbi who was brutalizing Christians. ALLAH graciously gave the former hysterical Rabbi who had been brainwashed by the brittle, rigid Jewish belief system, a new mind and a new life. So with new eyes and a fresh outlook he threw his energies in with the “bounce back to life” Risen Messiah. Through the dynamic preaching, teaching and writing of the former Rabbi terrorist, the Way of the Risen Messiah gathered millions of believers over the centuries. But in the last few decades, the U.S. government has become impatient with an articulate reasonable Messiah who prefers persuading with words to blowing people’s heads off with murderous weapons. So America has in effect traded in our “proven effective Risen Messiah” for the latest models of guided missiles and killer toys. Wonderfully, ALLAH Himself has now prepared Islam to embrace His twice rejected Messiah, first by the Jews and now by the Americans. And Islam is wise enough to not be put off by the Messiah’s preference for words of persuasion over weapons of destruction. So I am absolutely certain that clear and unmistakable evidences of Islam’s new dynamic relationship with ALLAH’S own Anointed, Risen, Living Messiah, Ibn Maryam, will soon be discussed on CNN, MSNBC, and Al Jazeera. back to "My Earlier Stirrings" page
