Part 1
The atheist-humanism that has dominated
the world for the last two hundred years
has now entered its final stage, a total
collapse which is both inescapable and
inevitable. The German historian Ernst
Nolte identified the upheavals of the
twentieth century as being one European
civil war which he dated from 1914 to
1945. The whole period is marked by the
somnambulistic working-out of three
programmes. In the first stage, World
War I, we saw the mass suicide of a
whole generation of European men in the,
now to us, incredible slaughter of the
trench warfare. For four years the
people watched horrified as men walked
and ran, wave upon wave, into a wall of
bullets and shellfire, falling over each
other in the mud of Flanders in an
apparent enthusiasm for immolation. The
latter stages which dominated the whole
of the mid-century saw two massive
programmes of genocide, each pursued
again with this strange enthusiasm with
which godless humanism sets about
eliminating its own. Alongside the
statistically awesome genocide of the
jews and the gypsies in the West, the
even more awesome achievement in the
East saw the mass genocide of a Class.
Once identified as jew or bourgeois your
elimination was simply an organisational
affair.
Two profound changes took place in the
humanist society over this time. The end
of the First World War saw the complete
dismantling of the European monarchic
system, a process which had been
initiated by the English and defined by
the French. Thus, the twentieth century
became the arena for the social
Darwinism which proposed that man had
evolved from being ruled by Divinely
ordained monarchs to the great
historical fulfilment that was to be
Government by the People. Marshal Foch
had bitterly recognised that the wars of
kings saw relatively few casualties
because led from the front by the
monarchs, while the war of the
politicians assured mass slaughter
because driven from behind by the
politicians of democracy. It cannot be
emphasised enough that the higher the
political rhetoric about the glory of
democracy as the final fulfilment of
human independence, the further the
modern state moved towards a
totalitarianism which outshone and
out-achieved the state control of the
fascist-communist era. In the second
half of the twentieth
century
not an urban street or highway but is
covered by video scanners. Not a metre
of ground but is monitored by satellite
photography. While Chancellor Hitler
lunched openly with a few friends and
two bodyguards at the Ostaria Bavaria in
Munich, fifty years later no European
leader can expose himself to the people
without a vast security ring of
protection. The state knows how much the
citizen spends, owes and even intends.
As well as the absolute documenting and
monitoring of the individual by the
state, there is a double process of
security checking based on the financial
profile and practice of each individual
by the banking system.
Looking back over the last hundred years
the peak achievements of this anti-civilisation
must surely be the triple genocides of
World War I, the concentration camps,
and the Gulag. In fact, the philosopher
Giorgio Agamben has insisted that the
iconic module of our society today is
the concentration camp. Among the
christians, kingship by Divine authority
came to an end in the event of the
beheading of Charles I. It only became
eliminated fully in the social and
political framework of Britain, however,
in 1688 with the overthrow of the
legitimate ruler James II and the
aristocracy’s decision to put in place a
puppet king imported from Holland. Every
single schoolbook in Britain informs the
pupils that this was the year of the
Glorious Revolution, celebrated for
being bloodless. It was far from
bloodless, leading in its last
historical convulsion to the brutal
destruction of the Scottish Highland
clan system and the appalling and
genocidal Clearance of the Highlands.
That was the first stage of the new
mercantile atheist state, then a hundred
years later it led to the further
genocide of the Irish Potato Famines. It
is the unique and unavoidable reality of
the humanist philosophy, with its myth
of the democratic state, that one
section of the demos has to be wiped off
the face of the earth.
Now all this increasingly sclerotic
social system, every year burdened with
more laws and more inhuman rigidity, is
reaching its final, necrological
condition. It first eliminated its own
elite, then a race, then a class. That
process permitted, one could even say
that genocide cleared the way for, the
new emerging power structure of
financial oligarchy. The proof of this
lies in the unarguable reality in which
we now find ourselves—a world system of
finance which has two dominant
characteristics, the presence of the
judentum and the bourgeoisie.
In order to reach and achieve this final
stage, which in their hallucination they
even call the end of history, one
genocide remains. Yet this last phase,
which we can call this present
attrition, and which will become a
policing and an enslaving of a people,
will not be for their race or their
class, but their religion. The
atheist-humanist society, armed with its
weapons of mass destruction and an
immeasurable technological power, has
decided openly to declare war on Islam.
Given the dialectical thinking of the
humanists and in accord with how they
conducted themselves in the last
century, before wiping us out they have
to characterise us, the Muslims, in such
a form that their humanist masses will
confirm the detached and necessary
diagnosis which insists on our removal.
The instrument, the chosen instrument
for the delineation of the Muslim as an
unacceptable rogue factor in a society
whose fundamental principle is the
denial of Divine worship, is to define
the Muslims as being doctrinally
committed to acts of terror and
irrational, suicidal violence. It is
against this background that we are
forced to examine the emergence of a
suicide culture spreading from the
Middle East, and the legislative attacks
by the so-called democracies on the
education and social modalities of
Muslim communities. It must be borne in
mind that in the nation-state system,
Islam has already been pre-defined as an
alien and suspicious phenomenon. This
leaves us with two social dynamics that
we must now deal with as a Muslim World
Community. Firstly, the mechanism and
function of the terrorist programme,
purportedly from us to them. Secondly,
the state frameworking, imposition, and
societal enslavement by the atheists on
Muslim civic practice.
Part 2
The term ‘terrorism’ has been adopted by
the kuffar and placed at the heart of
their political discourse. That
discourse, it is to be remembered, is
not a dialogue but a monologue. There is
no debate. Media are not only handed the
analytical viewpoint, but also the
vocabulary they have to use. To hide the
genocide of the Muslims, at its
inception in Bosnia, it had to be
re-named ‘ethnic cleansing’. At the
time, in Geneva, with Dr. Izetbegovic,
we began to hear the term, which he and
his team violently opposed. Dr.
Izetbegovic said to me, “This is to make
it easier for them to kill us!” In every
report out of Iraq, all the terrorist
incidents are defined as coming from
within “The Sunni Triangle”. Now there
is no Sunni Triangle in Iraq, for the
simple reason that there is no Sunni
Islam, apart from some hundreds of
heroic Muslims who have managed to lie
low and hide their Deen. The regime in
Iraq was authored by Michel Aflaq, a
Lebanese christian socialist. His aim
was a party that would situate the
Middle Eastern states in a modern
democratic and secular pattern. Up until
the first Gulf War the Iraqi dictator
received an annual telegram of
congratulations from the Pope. The
Catholic Church saw the Baath party as
the means for the de-Islamicisation of
Iraq and thus the Middle East. On taking
power, his first action was the
elimination of all the renowned and
quite famous Sunni Muslim scholars. The
dictator’s persecution of the Shi‘a did
not begin until the Shi‘a Islamic
revolution in Iran. Under the regime
only two groups could gain promotion
among the technocratic elite, christians
and atheists. The people now engaged in
terror in Iraq are these christians and
atheists who have lost their place.
Their call for a Sunni-Shi‘a war is
simply a continuation of the atheist
programme of the prior regime, and we
must never forget that that regime was
the gift of the Western power system to
the Arabs.
Within a much wider so-called
secularisation programme which had been
practised by the European and then
American states, that more inclusive
analysis of these matters forces us to
step back and study the structures set
up by the kuffar in a post-Osmanli
Dawlet world. Such a wider perspective
would then date the beginning of the
genocide of the Muslims from the clear
demographic records that show the
genocide of six million Muslims in the
break-up of the Bulgarian, Macedonian
and Greek provinces of the Osmanli
Dawlet.
So it is that to understand the present
situation of our Muslim world community
it is important to recognise that there
has been an unremitting cycle of
genocidal programmes perpetrated by the
atheist humanists, often performed under
the banner of the christian cross. Any
attempt to let these staggering facts
surface has been met with outraged
claims that we are creating religious
conflict. As Justin McCarthy has said in
his definitive book on the subject,
‘Death and Exile’, the subject of which
is the genocide of Ottoman Muslims from
1821 to 1922:
“The Ottomans received little credit for
their long and unique tradition of
religious toleration. Ironically, they
paid a heavy price for it. Foreigners
used the excuse of protection of the
Christian millets and Christian
brotherhoods as pretexts for
intervention in Ottoman internal
affairs. Members of Christian millets
drew upon this sense of religious
separation to create an anti-Ottoman
nationalism.”
In 1861 the historian George Finlay,
writing of the Greek War of Independence
which began in 1821, noted that before
two months had passed, upward of 20,000
Muslim men, women and children were
murdered without mercy or remorse. He
observed that the christian population
had attacked and murdered the Muslim
population in every part of the
peninsula.
“The towers and country homes of the
Muslims were burned down, and their
property was destroyed. [...] From the
26th March until Easter Sunday, which
fell, in the year 1821, on the 22nd
April, it is supposed that fifteen
thousand Muslim souls perished in cold
blood and that about three thousand
farmhouses or Turkish dwellings were
laid waste.”
The Greek Orthodox Archbishop Germanos
gave the cry of the uprising: “Peace to
the Christians! Death to the Muslims!”
In Missolonghi most Muslims were
murdered quickly, but Turkish women were
taken as slaves of rich Greek families.
The Muslims of Vrachroi were tortured to
death. Jews were killed as readily as
were Muslims. Entire Turkish populations
of cities and towns were collected and
marched out of town to convenient
places, where they were slaughtered.
Finlay goes on:
“In Tripolitza, for three days the
miserable Muslim inhabitants were given
over to the lust and cruelty of a mob of
savages. Neither sex nor age was spared.
Women and children were tortured before
being put to death. So great was the
slaughter that the Greek rebel
Kolokotrones himself says that, when he
entered the town, from the gate of the
citadel his horse’s hoofs never touched
the ground. His path of triumph was
carpeted with corpses. At the end of two
days, the wretched remnant of the
Muslims were deliberately collected, to
the number of some two thousand souls,
of every age and sex, but principally
women and children, were led out to a
ravine in the neighbouring mountains,
and there butchered like cattle.”
The distinguished contemporary historian
Justin McCarthy states the theme of his
important book, ‘Death and Exile’, a
study of the ethnic cleansing of Ottoman
Muslims 1821 to 1922:
“In each of the 19th- and 20th-century
wars, Muslims were massacred and Muslims
were forced from their homes. Millions
of Muslims died and millions were
exiled. [...] The compression of the
Muslim Land and the expulsions were
continuing historical events, presenting
a continuing historical picture.”
A British investigator, Cullen, studying
the situation of the Muslim refugees for
the European Powers, at the Congress of
Berlin stated: “I can come to no other
conclusion but that the Russians are
carrying out a fixed policy of
exterminating the Muslim race.” From the
Caucasus to Bulgaria, a systematic and
devastating slaughter took place in the
1860s and 70s. On the mass murder in
Bulgaria McCarthy writes:
“Examples of Bulgarian atrocities on
Turks fill the diplomatic literature
with graphic details of mass murders,
rape, and pillage. After commenting on
despoliation and nightly outrages in one
village, one British representative
commented, “Such cases as these are the
rule, not the exception.” European
observers (reporters from the Morning
Post, the Times, and the Daily
Telegraph) saw 120 Turkish bodies lying
in the open in the village of Oklani (Lagahanli),
where Turkish women had been locked up
in houses, raped over a period of ten
days, then burned alive. In some cases,
Bulgarians were, in effect, taken into
the Russian army, given uniforms and
weapons, and used to persecute Turks.”
In British Foreign Office Report
195-1184, Calvert to Blunt,
Philippopolis, 10 March 1878, it states:
“When the Russians took Philibe every
Turkish house in the town was completely
plundered—even to the doors and window
frames. The mosques were turned into
public latrines.”
In Consul-General Fawcett’s briefing to
Layard, Constantinople, 9 July 1878, it
reports the British representative
Cullen as saying:
“The constant accounts I receive of
Russian and Bulgarian cruelty were
almost beyond anything I have ever heard
of or seen in this dreadful war,
although, as you know, I have seen much,
and I can come to no other conclusion
but that the Russians are carrying out a
fixed policy of exterminating the
Muslims.”
McCarthy’s demographic research,
incontrovertible and chilling, presents
the terrible statistics that indicate
the deaths of millions of Muslim men,
women and children, the destruction of
their mosques and homes, their cattle,
and their way of life. McCarthy himself
admits,
“Statistics are inadequate indicators
of horrifying loss. They can but outline
the enormity of human suffering. [...]
Nevertheless, the statistics must be
seen to gauge the scope of Muslim
losses.”
Scrupulously scientific, McCarthy has
always taken the lowest demographic
estimates, as he explains in detail.
Here is the grizzly conclusion of what
he considers the unarguable minimum
statistic, although he recognises and
insists that had the higher estimates
been taken, the final figures of both
mortality and migration would have
increased by millions. So it is that the
second half of the 20th century has seen
the world endlessly bludgeoned with the
admittedly shocking, but now recited by
rote, statistic of six million murdered
jews. Vast sums have been spent,
forgivably humiliating and insulting the
Germans, and unforgivably pummelling the
rest of the world into guilt for this
terrible crime, even the European
families who died to rescue them. Yet
until ‘Death and Exile’ was published in
1995, the death of five and a half
million Muslims, in a statistic that
takes us to 1922, had gone unrecorded.
There is still no scientific summation
of the immediate genocide that has taken
place in the former Yugoslavia and the
Albanian hinterland, let alone the
continuing horror of Russian murder and
rape in the Caucasus, watched over
approvingly and silently by American and
European Intelligence Services. The
McCarthy book, which we strongly urge
Muslim intellectuals to read, was
published by the Darwin Press, Inc.,
Princeton, New Jersey (ISBN
0-87850-094-4).
Note: Most military mortality and some
civilian mortality not included
Against this background, the massacre of
Srebrenica can no longer be seen as an
aberration of military command and UNO
ineptitude, but simply the continuation
of this policy. General Alagic, the
great and courageous Bosnian leader,
made it very clear to me during the
significant time I spent with him in
Istanbul and Granada that the sole cause
of the US-intervention in Bosnia was the
realisation that the Bosnian Muslim army
was winning. In relation to the shameful
Dayton Agreement I asked him one
question: at the Dayton meetings, which
signed the accord, how many of the
Muslim military leaders attended the
conference? General Alagic looked at his
companions as the full implication of
their reply sank in. Of course, not one
military commander had a say in the
so-called peace. Therefore, the
resistant Muslims who had fought, died
and seen their families massacred, had
no voice in what was to follow. The
result is an almost carbon copy of the
politique McCarthy outlined in the
earlier period—reduction of the Muslim
population to minority status and
placing them under a ruling council
which could overrule those few decisions
the Muslims were still able to make. Set
over the Muslims of Bosnia to this day
is a Gauleiter, the first of whom were
jews, as is the case today in Iraq.
General Alagic published a book openly
naming who the murderers of his people
were. The book was confiscated and he
was accused of fomenting ethnic
division. Imagine that principle applied
to all the Nazi-hunting holocaust
industry that today comes out of Europe.
The comic-opera War Crimes Tribunal in
the Hague has miserably failed to arrest
any of the principal criminals, let
alone the known large numbers of
murderers. Yet General Alagic was
arrested and accused of war crimes.
Before that, at home, the jewish
Gauleiter even had him removed from
office as Mayor of Sanski Most, where he
had been democratically elected. Anyone
for democracy? After imprisonment the
trial collapsed, partly through lack of
evidence and partly from a real fear
that the Bosnian Muslims, now so
tragically apathetic, had nevertheless
had enough.
The full horror of the Bosnian War is
not contained in the record of the
Serbian atrocities. It must be
understood that the occupying kafir
forces in the Balkans, and this quite
dramatically also refers to Kosovo, are
themselves an ongoing process of outrage
against the Muslim population. My wife,
with a group of Murabitun women, in
Sarajevo to examine the safety of women
in the post-war situation as well as the
damage caused by the disruption of
homes, the rape and torture, and the
loss of children, was asked to examine
one significant case among the many. I

According to Article 5 of Regulation
with legal force of District military
prosecutor’s office (the Official
Gazette of R B&H, no. 12/92), article
45, paragraph 2, item 2 of Criminal
Proceedings Law, Article 157, paragraph
1 and Article 158, paragraph 1 of
Criminal Proceedings Law in connection
with Article 517 Criminal Proceedings
Law taken as the Republic Law by
Regulation with legal force for taking
over of Criminal Proceedings Law (the
Official Gazette of R B&H, no. 12/92),
during direct war danger or state of
war, I hereby submit:
DEMAND FOR LEGAL PROCESS
AGAINST: GENERAL MACKENZIE, commander of
the UNO peacekeeping forces for the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina based
in Sarajevo.
During his stay in the Republic of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, as commander of a
UNO peace force, he entered the
territory controlled by the aggressor,
i.e. Serbo-Chetnik forces, where there
were concentration camps and prisons for
the civil population, contrary to the
Geneva Convention. As a commander he
came to the women’s concentration camp
at Sonja in Vogosca, managed by Vlaco
Branislav, of the Serb army, and Chief
Miro Vukovic, and stayed half an hour.
He arrived at the camp in a transport
vehicle marked with UN insignia together
with two escorts of the UN peacekeepers.
He took four Muslim girls and drove them
in this vehicle for the purpose of rape.
These girls had been captured and
brought to the women’s camp where they
were forced into prostitution, where
they were raped, and where they were
exposed to other inhuman treatment.
MacKenzie knew of the existence of the
camp and that it denied protection of
civil persons during wartime. He knew of
the inhuman treatment in the camp
contrary to international law. He went
to the camp and took the girls, who had
no possibility to defend themselves.
Exploiting the situation of the
mentioned girls, he abused them himself
and raped them for the satisfaction of
his physical lust. He too was in
violation of international law, the
Geneva Convention on the Protection of
Civil Persons during Wartime. So it is
that he has perpetrated a war crime
against the civil population, Article
142 of the Criminal Code of SFR of
Yugoslavia, taken as Republic Law by
Regulation with a legal force for taking
Criminal Code of SFR of Yugoslavia (the
Official Gazette of R B&H, no. 2/92).
Signed District Military Attorney
Bisic Mustafa
With all the evidence and the victims
able to give evidence, it was an
open-and-shut case of rape by a
so-called peacekeeper. The NATO response
to this event, the crime of
Major-General Lewis MacKenzie, was
simply to grant him immunity and ship
him off to Canada.
It is now clear to all intelligent
Muslims that the category of human
rights is simply a way-station to
elimination, not some path of higher
justice. In the by-going it is hoped
that Muslim women and feminist groups
will identify the whereabouts of this
criminal and bring his disgusting
criminal record to the attention of his
local community, and insist that this
totalitarian immunity be lifted and that
he still stand trial.
We have to recognise, however
uncomfortable it is for us, the bitter
truth that a systematic policy has been
at work from 1821 up until the present,
and that only now the success and
dreadfulness of this scheme is reaching
critical mass. The pivotal event of this
organised programme, sporadic, varied in
location, but always pursuing an
identical policy, is nothing less than
the collapse of Khalifate and the
dismemberment of the Osmanli Dawlet. It
is for this reason that one terrible
chapter of this slaughter took place
inside the Muslim heartland, in Turkey,
where the probably Dönme dictator
Mustafa Kemal set about an open
programme of the abolition of the Deen
of Islam. In fulfilment of the Dönme
jewish-heretical sect’s programme to
abolish the Khalifate, finish Islam as a
world religion and place one of their
people on the Khalifal throne, Kemal
produced an almost unique crime, for
Stalin also achieved it, in the
abolition of the Osmanli language and
written script, thus wiping out the
whole intellectual history and
consciousness of Osmanli culture. He
closed the Sufi tekkes, and executed all
the Sufi shaykhs. This was a policy to
be assiduously practiced by the
British-installed puppet king of Arabia
shortly afterwards.
Today in Pakistan the policy continues.
On instruction from the US the current
Pakistani leader, who took power by a
coup d’état, gratefully recognised by
the EU and USA as legitimate, has
ordered the closing of hundreds of
Islamic madrasas, as well as imprisoning
hundreds of ‘ulema whose only crime is
teaching the Deen of Islam. This allows
us to say that the militant policy
against Islam has not diminished over
the years but has rather increased.
Inside Russia, from the Revolution up
until the collapse of communism, the
mass movement of Muslims from the
Caucasus and Tataristan is well
documented for our study. As the
McCarthy research shows, mass movements
of population are a parallel activity to
mass deaths. Following the collapse of
communism, this persecution in the great
Stans of central Asia has scarcely
ceased. In Uzbekistan, with a jewish
president who changed his name to
‘Islam’, the primary, almost unique
activity of the police is the
persecution and torture of Muslims. In
neighbouring communist China the
wholesale genocide of the Uighurs
continues on a daily basis, watched with
supreme indifference by the soft-voiced,
pacifistic Secretary-General of the UNO.
These crimes are perpetrated in a
political zone of silence and
acceptance.
In 1963, on the Island of Cyprus there
occurred what was to be NATO’s ‘dry-run’
for the Balkan genocide. At 2.10 am on
Saturday, December 21, 1963, the planned
extermination of the Muslims of Cyprus
began. When the Greek General Ioannides
deposed President Makarios, within the
struggle for control by these two Greeks
of the island of Cyprus, a military plan
documented and prepared by the Greek
Cypriot National Guard, was in the
following weeks set in motion. It was a
plan to wipe out the entire Turkish
population of the island. Every village
and every enclave of Muslims was to be
wiped out. Most disturbing of all was
that the plan required the Greek Cypriot
civilian population to be organised and
brainwashed into joining the slaughter.
So it was that from 1963 to 1974, the
persecution and murder of Muslim men,
women and children took place against
the background of the Greek-instigated
uprising to give Cyprus union with
Greece. So it was that the Greek coup
d’état in Cyprus did not intend a simple
union with Greece, but a Final Solution
for the Muslim presence on the island.
The plan was code-named Iphestos
(Volcano) 1974 and was defined as an SEA
(Internal Security) operation. It did
not involve Turkey in any manner, it was
an internal affair. The Greek Cypriots
would kill, and the Turkish Cypriots
would die.
Commander Haralambos Hios of the
National Guard had sent his orders to
the following units: the 256th and 276th
Infantry Battalions, the 222nd, 261st,
306th, 316th, 321st, 366th and 391st
Reserve Battalions, the 183rd Field
Artillery Battalion, the 173rd and 190th
Anti-Tank Artillery Battalions, the 47th
Communications Company, and other
reserve forces. These in turn passed on
their instructions to the units under
their command, giving the names of the
Turkish areas to be “cleansed.”
Right from the start, the genocide
operation was shown to be a joint one
with the Military High Command in
Athens, itself, let it not be forgotten,
an obedient member of NATO. The Orders
began: “This initiative to begin the
operations is undertaken by the General
Staff of the National Guard (GEEF) with
the approval of the Cyprus Government
and the Headquarters of the AED (Greek
mainland Armed Forces).”
In 1974 the Cyprus Government was
all-Greek, and was therefore illegal
under the terms of the 1960
Constitution. Illegal or not, it was the
recognised government of the island. So
this government, recognised by the UNO
and NATO, had given its approval to the
genocide of a fifth of its people.
Tim Sebastian in the Mail on Sunday on
February 25, 1996, reporting on the
disturbing fact that the war crimes of
Bosnia were being ignored, said that a
United States Official told him: “At all
costs the Western nations had to stay
away from the word genocide—the
G-word—so they called it ethnic
cleansing instead. You could not say
genocide because that would have
required them to act under the UN
Charter. They would have had to do
something to prevent it. Genocide was
the whole reason the UN was set up in
the first place.” The most complete
documentation of the planned and partly
executed attempt to wipe out the Muslim
population of Cyprus is to be found in
‘The Genocide Files’ by Harry Scott
Gibbons, Charles Bravos, Publishers,
London (ISBN 0-9514464-2 8).
Part 3
Now
that we have established an unarguable
continuity of the application and
practice of systematic genocide on the
Muslims, set against the two cataclysmic
events of the dismantling of the Osmanli
Dawlet, the only successful
multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society
in history, and the destruction of the
Moghul Dawlet and the shameful murder by
the British of its last Emperor and the
obscene and perverted assassination of
his sons in front of a British regiment,
it becomes possible at last to read the
true meaning of this strange engine, the
War Against Terror. In the light of
history as we now see it, the partition
of India can be seen as a
half-successful attempt to be done with
Islam in the Sub continent once and for
all. We have been placed in an
intolerable situation. A dialectic has
been set up by our enemies, forcing us
to either the thesis, about to be
destroyed, or the antithesis, about to
supplant the former, resulting in a
synthesis which will be nothing less
than the abolition of the Deen of Islam.
In other words, we stand between
‘terrorism’ and ‘tolerance’, a scenario
in which we end up with Islam reduced to
an interior private religion with its
own holidays and forms of worship, only
aesthetically different from the
christians, the buddhists and the
judaeists, for they are all in the
washing machine. At present we only have
the media version of the terror. The
temptation is, for intelligent Muslims
do not buy it, to take recourse to
conspiracy theory. This again is another
of the kafir technical procedures. Once
we imply a conspiracy, we can be
dismissed under a psychiatric category.
This is why, however uncomfortable it
may be for us, we must look at this
matter of terrorism detachedly. We must
cast a cold eye on this programmatic
call to a war on terrorism.
The official version is that an
organised body of radical,
fundamentalist Muslims, which later were
openly identified as being wahhabi, had
moved onto a war-footing, yet they were
not an entity that could be defined as a
civic community, that is men, women and
children, whose military wing had moved
onto that state of war. The stage had
been set for the Age of Terrorism by the
phenomenon of Bin Laden and his
activities in Sudan and then
Afghanistan. It follows from this that
from the very beginning of this affair
there is ambiguity. Everyone knows that
Bin Laden was a trained CIA operative in
Afghanistan. Everyone knows that he is
from a wealthy Saudi regime family close
to the self-styled royalty. Everyone
knows that the Sudanese government
expelled Bin Laden, and prior to that
offered him to the US, who refused him.
A Figaro correspondent recorded a local
CIA operative emerging from Bin Laden’s
room in an Emirates hospital. This
strange yet public record becomes
confused on his return to Afghanistan.
At this stage a low-level military
grouping of Afghan and Pakistani
fighters, called Taliban, emerged.
Again, what is known and publicly
acknowledged is that the Taliban were
the creation of the Pakistani
intelligence service and army. This
means, of course, that Musharraf was an
active partner. It was at this stage
that an array of different strands of
Islamic doctrine can be found
represented in the converging forces
around the Taliban. These forces have
two deviational elements, while
indisputably Islamic nevertheless. On
the one hand there is the movement of
conservative ‘ulema of the School of
Deoband. Not all Muslims today are aware
that the Deobandi, and the Berelvi, are
two Islamic groupings which formed in
villages outside Delhi following the
collapse of the Moghul ‘Amr which
resulted in their fleeing the capital to
these two villages. So it was that the
Deobandi ‘ulema, step by step, abandoned
the correct Deen as laid down by Sultan
Aurangzeb and defined in his great
compilation Futawa al-Amghiri, and began
to construct a fiqh without ‘Amr,
leaving it dis-empowered but yearning
for power, while the Berelvi ‘ulema
retreated from a transfer of political
power to the elevation of a spiritual
power derived from dead Awliya. It could
be said, now looking back, that the
Deobandi would fall for the modernist
deviation, disastrously married to
wahhabism. The lethal and heady mix of a
wahhabism that sometimes openly declared
its enmity to the Rasul, may Allah bless
him and give him peace, and so was a
kind of militant anti-Islam, fused with
the reformist zeal that echoed the
wahhabism but also vibrated in sympathy
to its cruel puritanism. It was the
modernism which abandoned the strict
rules of Jihad and somehow made it
possible to murder Muslim civilians
along with a targeted kafir enemy.
Before going further, a word must be
said about Mullah Omar. He was a
self-declared Amir al-Muminin. He made
no overt attempt to unify the Muslims.
He took no bayats in a public way. He
received almost no delegations. The
punishments he meted out in Afghanistan
went from the exaggerated to the
indefensible. He neither called to Islam
nor collected Zakat. When the outcome of
his policies clearly implied the
destruction of Afghanistan, a majority
of Afghan ‘ulema called for his
expulsion.
To shed some light on this tenebrous
period it should be mentioned that the
Taliban were invited to send a
delegation to the 7th International Fiqh
Conference in Pretoria on 29 and 30
September 2000. The Muslims wanted to
hear for themselves what their position
was. A delegation of three came, one
from their Foreign Ministry, a
translator, and a member of Pakistani
Intelligence. They floated the argument
that they could not expel Bin Laden as
he was a guest. When it was pointed out
that one could not defend a guest who
would bring about the destruction of
one’s country, they dropped this issue.
I personally warned them that if they
kept this man, their country would be
invaded and destroyed. I even proposed
that if he was so bent on what he
claimed, it would be better to return
him to Arabistan. The only deduction
that could be drawn from these meetings
was that in some way the lock-in between
Mullah Omar and Bin Laden was out of
reach even of the Afghans themselves. As
that situation developed, the
complexifications set in. What we now
had was an apparent Amir and an apparent
guerrilla leader. It also seemed that
the Amir was financially dependent on
Bin Laden. At a certain point that I
have not identified, the trained
paramilitaries in the Himalayas were
given the name of Al Qaeda. All the
names of this leadership have emerged in
the US state department releases
following the iconic event of the
destruction of the twin towers.
The first shock to everyone, including
the Muslims, was that the group
destroying the towers were almost
entirely from the Arabistan under Saudi
control. At this point we have to grasp
the strange ambiguity with which the
media have examined the phenomenon of
Al-Qaeda / Islamic Terrorist Networks.
At this stage, onto the scene emerged a
most disreputable and ill-informed
group, the media’s cluster of terrorist
specialists and experts, with a jargon
mixing curiously the State Department
vocabulary and the sociological language
of second-class universities. They hold
forth on a daily basis on the major TV
networks, apparently knowing more about
the inner workings of the world Muslim
communities, and indeed the Deen itself,
than all of us put together. In what has
followed they have been both led and
they have led, puffing, fomenting and
spreading an ethos of apparent
anti-terrorist discourse, which is a
quite unveiled anti-Islamic policy.
Before asking the crucial strategic
question we have to recognise a very
strange fact, and all who read this will
confirm the truth of this matter. Bin
Laden, Al-Qaeda, the names of the dead
terrorists, the Wanted List—with the
exception of Bin Laden, none of us has
ever heard of them, or experienced them
in Islamic circles anywhere in the
world. While we are two billion, the
truth is that our leadership in the
different nations is known in detail and
in general. We know all the groups, we
know all the Islamic leaders, we know
the right-guided Sufis, and we know the
deviant Sufis like the Nazimis, we know
the Ikhwan, we know the modernists, the
Jamaat al-Islamiyya, we even know the
Deen-destroying Tablighi. In short, we
know each other, and with our
gullibility, which is a virtue, and our
acquiescence, which is a vice, we saw it
all stretched out before us. Yet with
the advent of these individuals and this
near-mythical projection of an
organisation which seems to follow the
scientific description of Nuclear
physics in which the atom can be either
perceived as particles or as waves, but
never the two at the same time, we are
offered an Al-Qaeda that has a central
network or else has a web of autonomous
cells.
Since the first dreadful event it has to
be noted that really nothing has
happened. After the New York event it
has only been possible to register a
diminishing wave of terrorist acts, with
the exception of the bombing in Bali. On
that matter I must record that I have
been assured by Indonesian political
leaders that whoever did it, it was not
perpetrated by Indonesians. On the same
note, the Chechen Sufic leaders, who
know the moves of the wahhabi activists,
that is those who undid the Sufic
victory of the first Chechen War, are
categoric that the Chechens did not bomb
the Moscow underground, and that it was
the work of the current version of the
KGB, which is, let it not be forgotten,
the present power system in Russia. All
the experts are left to point at is this
unfortunate British shoe-bomber, who
appeared to be a mental deficient. In
sustaining the increasingly imaginary
threat of a future terrorist event, it
has been necessary to ratchet up public
anxiety through the suspension of
flights to the US, ironically, only one
of which involved an American plane!
This brings us to a further dimension of
the ‘War on Terror’. Inside America,
apart from the loss of life and the
grief of the families of the WTC
destruction, and do remember that it is
a much lower statistic than that of the
dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the real
result of the terrorist attack has been
an astonishing legislation which has
basically wiped out two hundred years of
the much-vaunted civic freedom and open
society rules which have governed the
USA. It has also introduced and
instituted an ongoing secret and civic
police persecution of the growing
millions of Muslims in the USA. It
should not be forgotten that Islam is
the dominant religion of the black
community and the prison community, also
it is a growing religion among the
Hispanic community. It is for this
reason also that there is no way in
which we can wisely predicate that we
have a war against the USA or the EU,
for in the latter Islam is now the
dominant religion.
We now come to the crucial strategic
question. Following the rules of our
fiqh, having identified what the issue
is, we then have to ask a question which
is like a lever that lifts the matter
and points it in a particular direction
that will lead to resolution of the
affair. The question we must now ask
is—who stands to gain by the act of
terrorism?
This was the question Dostoevsky asked
faced with the terrorism of the
nihilists opposing the Tsar’s regime.
The answer he came up with was one
reality folded into another. Those
interested in the classical view of
terrorism can refer to his masterpiece
on the subject, ‘Demons’, in the Pevear
and Volokhonsky translation, published
by Vintage in 1994. Nothing in the
present situation forms a dépassement of
his classical analysis, which is that
the terrorists are a mixed bunch of
social misfits and outcasts, adhering to
a philosophy of nihilism. For this
reason, neither the lives of their
victims or themselves really matter, and
the only transcendence is in the
nihilistic act of annihilation. This
truth in turn is enfolded in the greater
reality, which is that the nihilism does
not belong to a force of social change
and transformation, but rather is itself
spawned by, needed by, and guaranteeing
the survival of, the tyrant state. So he
saw that the Tsarist regime and the
apparent anti-force of the nihilists
were in fact one shared reality with no
hope of a future. It was assured mutual
destruction. Both the politicos of the
official power system of the USA, from
the helpless smirking figure of their
un-reconstructed alcoholic president to
his back-room cohorts of high finance,
industry and investment, crouched around
him in sinister fashion as if they had
been chosen by some viciously
anti-Semitic casting agency—as well as
the shadowy figures of this world
terrorism, which on closer examination
is an equally dubious, equally
ill-informed group, the detritus of an
embittered and impoverished Arab world
which has utterly turned its back on the
Deen of Islam, and has been denied
entrance to the glorious club of
consumerist kufr—both these groups
represent one political reality which is
the last phase of humanism, that
humanism whose specialty is the genocide
of one section of its people, that
humanism which is atheist, anti-women
and pro-usury.
So it is, that we find ourselves in a
situation in which the kuffar have
openly declared war on Islam. At the
moment their most powerful weapon, like
a stealth bomber flies below the
radar-shield, it swoops on us below the
shield of reason and intelligence. They
call it terrorism. The kuffar have all
the technology, all the weapons, and a
subservient coalition of the armies of
indebted countries. It follows from this
that while they have a mastery of
technical power, our victory cannot come
either by military means or by false
kafir money. It will be recalled that
Rasul, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, accepted the entry of a criminal
into Islam, but made it clear that he
could not let him come with the haram
money he had gained. Everything that the
deviant Isma‘ili terrorists have
achieved has in fact been purchased with
US dollars.
We must take a path that goes beyond
‘terror’ and ‘tolerance’. We must reject
this dialectic that forces us to that
synthesis which reduces us simply to
enter the one great shopping mall and be
fellow consumers with the kuffar.
Once we have grasped this situation as I
have outlined it here, then, and only
then are we ready to look to the future
and seek the guidance that will take us
to success. Inshallah,
with the permission of Allah we will
continue to this next phase, its
concerns, its instruments, its
obligations and its limits. To prepare
for it let us take from the Protected
Book these blessed ayats, from Surat
al-Fath:
Allah was pleased with the muminun
when they pledged allegiance to you
under the tree.
He knew what was in their hearts,
and sent down serenity to them
and has rewarded them with an imminent
victory,
and with much booty which they will
take.
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
Allah has promised you much booty
which you will take,
and has hastened this for you
and held people’s hands back from you,
so that it might be a Sign to the
muminun,
and so that He might guide you to a
straight path.
And other booty you do not yet have the
power to take –
Allah has already encompassed it.
Allah has power over all things.
If those who are kafir should fight you,
they would turn their backs
and then find no one to protect or help
them.
That is Allah’s pattern which has passed
away before.
You will not find any changing in the
pattern of Allah.
Those who are kafir filled their
hearts with fanatical rage –
the fanatical rage of the Time of
Ignorance –
and Allah sent down serenity to His
Messenger
and to the muminun,
and bound them to the expression of
taqwa
which they had most right to
and were most entitled to.
Allah has knowledge of all things.
It is He who sent His Messenger
with the Guidance and the Deen of Truth
to exalt it over every other deen
and Allah suffices as a witness.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,
and those who are with him
are fierce to the kafirun,
merciful to one another.
You see them bowing and prostrating,
seeking Allah’s good favour
and His pleasure.
Their mark is on their faces,
the traces of prostration.
That is their likeness in the Torah.
And their likeness in the Injil
is that of a seed which puts up a shoot
and makes it strong so that it thickens
and grows up straight upon its stalk,
filling the sowers with delight –
so that by them He may infuriate the
kuffar.
Allah has promised those of them
who have iman and do right actions
forgiveness and an immense reward.
