America Regrets ‘War on Terror’!
16-04-2008
Read the passage in perspective to the recent U.S. decisions, their backfire and
the resultant growth of Islamic spirit in Muslims.
In the Name of Allah, The most Beneficent, The most Merciful
In 1991 Communism was consigned to history. The fall of the Communist world was
heralded as the rise of America. That the U.S.A. would become the most powerful
and the only world power was a forgone conclusion. There wasn’t a single person
doubting that preposition. But in fact, that very incident marked the biting of
the dust for the U.S.A.
As soon as Soviet Union crumbled and U.S.A. became the sole Superpower, it took
upon itself to awaken the Sleeping Giant – Islam. Of a surety, if men could
probe into the hearts of men, America regrets having rubbed shoulders with
Islam. The contrived events of 9/11, Madrid …… and the entire gamut of deceits
and blames, culminating into the ‘War on Terror’, Afghanistan, Iraq – have all
contributed to America digging its own grave.
Liars can never speak the truth, but if their whispers behind closed doors can
be heard, if their frustrations can be measured, if their sleepless nights can
be counted, and if their crying hearts can be monitored – all of them will say
that the Americans deeply regret having taken cudgel with Muslims. Surely they
woefully regret treating Islam as their ‘Enemy No.1’. The giant is too strong to
be handled and now it refuses to be cowed down.
After the successful disintegration of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on 3rd March,
1924, the Muslims went into slumber and the entire Western world ran amok,
plundering every blade of grass they could. Allah gave abundance of natural
resources to the Islamic lands, which were all going into the coffers of the
Kuffar. The slumber of the Muslims turned into numbness and then into comatose
condition, while the rulers of Muslim lands preyed on them. It would have done
America good to leave this entity called Muslims in that state. But their
arrogance and foolishness stirred the hornet’s nest. The ‘War on Terror’ became
a nightmare for the U.S.A. itself.
Today, Alhamdulillah, the Muslim world is abuzz with the true revival spirit.
Bringing the Islamic way of life into centre stage and talking of being governed
by Islamic law – Shariah in all walks of life – Ruling, economics, judiciary,
foreign affairs, and military. Muslims now refuse to call Arabia as ‘Saudi
Arabia’ because the Saud families were plunderers, robbers, usurpers. Arabia is
not theirs, it belongs to the Ummah. The concept of a unified Muslim Ummah and
being governed by one single Khalifah (Caliph) seems so practical that the
European Union, One-World Government and Super-State sound primitive in front of
it. Not that Muslims would not have woken up from this coma if America had not
acted the way it did, but surely the acts of commission and omission by U.S.A.
acted as catalyst. The rude shock to the Muslim Ummah was well taken. Thank you
America! Thank you very much!
In a world where mercy is overwhelmed by cruelty, truth by lies, transparency by
camouflage, the world seems to have forgotten what justice really is. U.S.A.
epitomized cruelty, lies, camouflage and injustice to the extent that it
crumbled under its own pressure. One smiles to see Clinton, Obama and McCain
fight for ruling the graveyard called America.
If those who commit crime upon crime refuse to be called criminals, while
innocent Muslims are hounded as terrorists, Muslims refuse to take the blame of
the blamers. This only makes more people rush into the comforting lap of Islam
and study it as an ideological, intellectual and political alternative to the
crumbling ruling systems of today. Look out; the Khilafah is around the corner.
