Hassan
Sahib,
Thanks for your comments on
my brief remarks.
Of course, I believe that
change should be brought by peaceful and democratic means for bringing true
Islam into position of political supremacy.
But there are some occasions
where Jihad by sword also becomes necessary. During the Soviet Occupation of
Afghanistan, America and CIA also supported Mujahedeen for over 10 years until
the Mujahedeen won over. No body raised that slogan which you are raising today
that Islam is a religion of Peace and sword should be abandoned absolutely
on all occasions. This slogan means that we should, Nauzu Billah, permanently
eradicate the concept of Jihad from the holy Quran and Hadith.
Like Afghanistan under
Soviet Russia, there was no chance for the Sunni and Kurds groups in Iraq and
Syria to bring about any change through peaceful and democratic
means.
Muslims or Non-Muslims,
throughout history people have always revolted against INJUSTICE. Only those
countries or areas were saved from the onslaught of Revolts, where Islamic
Shariah was in force. American Revolution or French Revolution or Russian
Revolutions of 1917 and of 1989 or Iranian Revolution have all been successful
Revolts against the INJUSTICE.
Nobody claims that Maliki
and Assad governments of Iraq and Syria were doing full Justice to their Kurd
and Sunni population. If these victims of Injustice have risen up to
revolt, you are calling them 'Terrorists'. If you want to stop such so-called
'terrorism', hollow sermons of 'ISLAM, A RELIGION OF PEACE' will not work.
Enforce Islamic Shariah giving equal rights to all citizens in a Muslim State,
Peace will automatically reign. Injustice is the breeding ground
of 'Terrorism', which you are afraid of.
Moreover, great Imams and Islamic scholars like Imam Abu
Hanifah and Imam Ibn-e Taimiya and several others have justified, rather
encouraged, "KHUROOJ" i.e. REVOLT against a Muslim State, if a Muslim
government is not run on the principles of Islamic Shariah. Dr. Tahir-ul
Qadir gave Fatwa against these great Imams, but now he is justifying his own
proposed INQILAB or REVOLUTION on the same ground. In an interview to
ARY TV, he read out the clauses of Pakistan Constitution to show that his
call of Inqilab is legal and constitutional, since the present
government is not observing the requirements of honesty and integrity required
by the constitution.
Therefore, springing up of
movements like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, or Taliban cannot be prevented simply by bombing
them. I have earlier circulated an article from an Encyclopedias showing the
history of several guerrilla movements that none of them could be suppressed by
FORCE or MILITARY POWER. Salim Safee, a GEO Anchor and Jung Columnist has
written an article that our current Military Operation will result in creating
700,000 Suicide-Bombers. He means to say that the entire population of
North Waziristan which has been made homeless during this summer heat and
Ramadhan, as a result of the current Operation, may turn into
Suicide-Bombers.
Remove Injustice, give full rights to the oppressed sections of
the population in Iraq and Syria and enforce Islamic Shariah, all these
so-called 'Terrorist' movements in almost all Muslim countries will
automatically evaporate without a single gun-shot. That was also the main
purpose for which Pakistan was created after a lot of sacrifices.
Muslim
empires of Ummayads in Damascus and of Abbasids in Baghdad, of Spain, of Mughals
and other Muslim dynasties in India and the last Ottoman empire of
Turkish people lasted for several centuries in each territory under
their control. These empires governed successfully for centuries in
different parts of the world over inhabitants of different and divergent
nationalities with different customs, traditions and languages. These were not
ideal empires like that of Khulfa-e-Rashedeen. Different dynasties fought
against each other for political supremacy, but the entire population or any
section of population never revolted against their governments. What was
the reason? They dispensed Justice to all. They enforced Islamic Shariah. Until
the last days of Mughal empire in India, the last eminent emperor Aurangzeb
Aalamgir gave his own Fatwas, known as Fatawa-e-Aalamgiri, as an Islamic
scholar to enforce Islamic Shariah in all territories under his control. Ottoman
empire had also enforced Shariah throughout its 500-year history until Mustafa
Kamal Ataturk announced the end of Caliphate in 1924.
But under the pressure of
America, which has quickly donated $960 Million to kill our own people and
to make the entire population of North Waziristan homeless, our government
surrendered to it. We abandoned all efforts for NEGOTIATIONS, which had
given us 2 months of peace, and chose to bomb them. General Kiyani had
resisted all American pressure for 3 years. His experience of Operation in Swat,
Fata and South Waziristan had taught him that we cannot succeed more than 30% in
suppressing Terrorism by Military Operations. It will create 10 times more
Suicide-Bombers. We have lost East Pakistan due to Injustice to Bengalis.
Military Operation resulted in separation of East Pakistan and thousands of our
military men, rather the entire Pakistan Army of about 90,000 personnel became
prisoner of India. What an unpatriotic and shameful consequence of
Military Operation!

Hussein
sahib,
I am terribly
surprised this would come out of your sacred mouth ".........risking
their worldly possessions and sacrificing their life in the name of
Islam..."
How could you be so
oblivious to the fact that ISIS has looted millions of dollars from banks in
cities they occupied, and terrorized and massacred hundreds of muslims. Would
you call this Islamic.
I am sorry to say, by your
words of sympathy for terrorists we have
to understand you are trying to encourage these
terrorists to use Islam by sword, not peace for which Islam stands for
peaceful muslims.
AL-Azhar, a leading
authority of Sunni Islam, "believes that all those who are today speaking of an
Islamic State are terrorists."
Hussein sahib, we were led
to believe that Islam means peace. But, these
terrorists misinterpret Islam and use sword, instead of using pen and
diplomacy to solve whatever problems muslim countries might have. Saudi Arabia
is oil-rich country and it could be more powerful
than
these terrorists, but they
use diplomacy with "enemy" of Islam, not sword like these terrorists do, to
subordinate their own brothers by force.

I am thankful to these so-called
terrorists who are risking all their worldly possessions and sacrificing their
lives in the name of Islam.
We are enjoying comforts of modern-day
life in advanced countries of the world and commenting about them as armed-chair
politicians.
Why have we closed our eyes to world-wide
American state terrorism directly and through it proxies like Israel and
Egyptian Military, especially in Muslim countries like Iraq, Palestine,
Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Hasni,
It's a good piece . Indeed,
anyone with gunpowder can establish his own caliphate. Unless we counter with
productive organizations, they will be gaining momentum one terrorist at a time.
Unless Muslims stand up things will worsen.
Thank
you,
Mike
