JABARA: Islam On Fire Fueled By Rich Arabs Aug 28, 2004 By Albert M. Jabara; Front Page Artwork By Hans Elmers
Enemies torch Islam and Arabia because they despise Islam and Arabia. What shocks my wits and burns my heart is that rich Arabs, Arab traitors and Arab leaders are fueling this fire on orders by George W. Bush. It is obvious by all measures and counts, United States and Israel are not fighting terrorism. Palestinians fight with small arms to regain their dignity and rights. Iraqis fight to liberate their country and protect their daughters, wives and mothers from being raped by U.S. maniac soldiers. Afghanis are also fighting to liberate their country and restore their dignity.
The Middle East happens to be the treasure up for grab by murderers and thieves. George W. Bush and his thugs are determined to kill and rob Arabs and Muslims as long as Arab and Muslim traitors exit in the region.
The character of the Middle East population has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. An Arab today can be profiled as a traitor, a coward or a walking veggie. Whether these labels are accurate and justified remains to be seen. If Arabia could emerge from its horrific plight, only then we can talk about the courage of the few Arabs and Muslims. I spent 45 years outside my birthplace, but my heart and soul remain glued to my birthright. I am sad for what is happening to a beautiful religion; I am sad Arabia is being destroyed by Zionist criminals and local traitors. Most of my literary colleagues are not the decent writers and journalists anymore. Truth to them is what United States and Israel want to hear. If the Holy Prophets had any ideas about the Arabs they left behind were going to betray them, they would have begged Allah to relocate Arabia to another planet. Arabia is not only the last hope for humanity. Arabia is a universal jewel that is sadly inhabited by a bunch of morons who don?t know the difference between bullet holes and fire crackers. Of course, this type of ignorance on the part of Arabs and Muslims makes George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon?s killing frenzy that much easier.
Several centuries ago, the Crusaders marched to the Holy Region, crushed and killed; stole and destroyed. They eventually retreated in a partial defeat. In the late 19th century, the Zionist organization with help from Christian extremists devised a plan to occupy Palestine, then kill or dispose its population into neighboring Arab countries. Their plan was successful; Israel was established and legitimized by most countries. It is worth noting that all those countries who affixed their signature on the document that legitimized the creation of Israel on literarily stolen land must recognize they have the blood of millions of Palestinians and thousands of Israelis on their hands. I make reference to the killed Jews because the West engaged them in the region?s conflict to get rid of them. The West assumed that by replacing Palestine with the State of Israel, they can relieve themselves from the guilt that resulted from the massacre of millions of Jews in Europe. Throughout history before the occupation of Palestine, Arabs and Jews had differences you find amongst any race, but never to the extent major wars were waged. In fact, Jews are technically Semite Arabs who spoke Hebrew like the many other tribes who lived in the Arab Peninsula and spoke different languages other than Arabic. I have no trouble with Arabs and Jews living side by side, not only in Palestine, but throughout the Arab world. I do, however, have serious problem with expulsion of more than 7 million Palestinians just so an accommodation was made to Jews from around the world. I also support the idea of one state for both people that can be run and managed under true democratic system, and nothing at all like the U.S. or the British democracies. Palestine is large enough to support the present population of both people, but under one condition: All Palestinians who wish to return to their homes and properties must not be denied this right. Those who do not wish to return must receive compensation for the loss of their properties, loss of statehood, loss of dignity and loss of family unity.
Fifty years have passed; the Palestinian population of more than seven millions still live in camps, under occupation, with a majority has taken refuge in Europe, North America and Africa. What is important to remember that Israel has always used some kind of reversed psychology to trick and deceive world opinion. Yes Jews had suffered under the rule of Hitler. Yes they felt astronomical amount of pain and grief; they suffered in human lives; they suffered in loss of dignity and self-worth. Today, they inflict on Palestinians and on Iraqis with the help of their man in Washington far worse pain and losses than they endured. On one hand, Israel uses the pretext that Arabs are prepared to through Jews into the sea while Palestinians blow up themselves to kill innocent people. The later part is true and is a byproduct of the severe oppression Palestinians receive at the barrels of Israeli?s tanks and gun ships. Israel and United States motivate suicide bombers by exerting unbearable oppression; by depriving Palestinians from basic human necessities. Palestinians can?t bring a family to this world and be assured they can live to see them graduate from college; Palestinian?s children do not have the right to receive normal schooling; cannot have the right to eat and sleep well. Palestinian parents spend more time at cemeteries than they spend around a diner table. If George W. Bush cannot see this; George W. Bush is the biggest criminal to have ever walked the planet.
Arabs and Moslems account for nearly ? of the human family. They possess high IQ of human intelligence; they possess most of the world wealth and resources; Afro/Arabia is centrally placed in the bosom of the earth. You cannot trade North, South, East or West without involving the Holy Region. Our planet?s heart and blood veins function only when Arabia is living in peace. Israel and United States of America hold the key for peace; a key they refuse to use; they prefer to shed blood of Arabs and Muslims. There is no doubt anymore. Israel and United States have waged a war against Arabs and Muslims. They denounce Islam because Islam professes justice and equality for all mankind. They denounce Islam because Islam holds the truth about their false prophecies and ideologies. They denounce Islam because Islam is pro poor and anti capitalist greed. They denounce Islam because Islam is the extension of true Judaism and Christianity. Falsehood will never win over the truth. United States and Israel could enjoy decades and maybe centuries of oppressing and killing others, but they cannot do this for ever. Both countries have already planted the darkest, saddest and most horrifying seeds humanity will remember in vain well beyond eternity.
Arab and Muslim leaders are well aware of this war, but they prefer to believe United States and Israel are fighting Arab and Muslim fanatics. If this is a fact, then why is United States killing children in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why is Israel killing Palestinian children and destroying their homes? Israel and United States protect the present Arab and Muslim regimes to continue their killing frenzy. What troubles me the most is that wealthy Arabs are more Americanized than Americans themselves. Arabia to them is a massive cow they milk for money -- money they hoard in U.S. and European banks.
To truly assess the plight of Arabs and Muslims, one can?t ignore the fact that Arab and Muslim leaders first and foremost are responsible for mass crimes committed by Israel and United States against innocent Arabs and Muslims. They are responsible for depressing the advancement of Arab and Muslim population by stealing the region?s wealth and resources. Of course United States uses this massive wealth and resources to sustain economic prosperity and arm Israel with the most sophisticated weaponries. Israel returns its gratitude by guaranteeing United States the continuation of killing more Arabs and more Muslims.
How did Arab and Muslim Leaders fail their people? European and North American Zionists spent the last two centuries developing plots and schemes to occupy Arab and Muslim lands while Arab leaders were busy abusing population and stealing wealth and resources that factually belonged to the people. The Zionists could have not dreamt of a better outcome. Manipulation of the Arab character through black mail and bribe became the best weapon. Zionists and Right Wing Christians often brag about this weapon and how easy it is to us on Arabs and Muslims.
It is credible to say that more than 90% of Arabs and Muslims have buried their conscience long before I was born. They do not understand the true meaning of dignity and honor. They represent the veggie group. Certainly, they are not the ones who can defend Islam and Arabia! Right minded Canadians, Americans and Europeans, including faithful Jews are the ones who can save Islam and Arabia; they are the ones who can educate their governments and leaders about the crimes committed by Ariel Sharon, George W. Bush and Tony Blair. They are the ones we need to write to and write about. Since Islam is the true religion of all mankind, we need to talk to civilized honest people. Western and North American newspapers, TV channels and Web sites, controlled by the Zionist Lobby, can no longer stretch lies and turn them into truth to win public opinion. Humanity is for ever indebted to those who exposed George W. Bush, Abu Ghraib prison?s crimes, Sharon and Blair?s crimes.
