Disoriented America loses control in the Middle East – Part II

[ Posted On: 2007-04-15 ]

In an introductory article we came up with the enumeration of fundamental errors of the American Middle Eastern policy, starting with American over-reliance on high tech, and with the erroneous and inaccurate perception of the enemies of the West. In the present article, we will continue, focusing on other errors and misconceptions.

America's mistake no 3: underestimation of the ultimate goals of its enemies

Failing to identify the real enemies of the West that are covered behind hypocritical diplomatic and political agents, businessmen and bogus-intellectuals, America underestimates their real and hypothetical goals.

The deceptive schema is the following:

America believes, trusts and takes for granted the words of Middle Eastern, Asiatic and African Muslim tyrannical rulers, and their socio-economic milieus, who assure American diplomats that all they want is peace, and that the few extremist and fanatic sheikhs are their enemies as well. They dare even say that they know how to deal with them.

In reality, these tyrannical rulers are either the criminal accomplice of the leading fanatic and extremist sheikhs or at their mercy.

And the leading fanatic and extremist sheikhs are not those widely known in the West, but others who are widely known in the various Muslim countries but not in the West. These really fanatic and extremist religious leaders are supported by their puppets, the tyrannical rulers, first by being depicted as 'people of tolerance and peace,' 'flexible intellectuals,' etc.

But if hysterical extremists like the late sheikh Shaarawi, an one time minister of Anwar el Sadat, were truly 'people of tolerance and peace' and 'flexible intellectuals,' then why did they generate dozens of millions of supporters and admirers of Osama bin Laden, and the Palestinian suicide bombers?

Who is responsible for the ulcerated minds of hundreds of millions who fanatically hate the West (while they do not know the realities of the Western World and Culture or to put it more blatantly they do not know anything whatsoever, let alone the real Islamic Culture, History and Philosophy)?

Who is responsible for the fact that hundreds of millions of people, living in unspeakable conditions of misery, poverty, starvation, filthiness, diseases and contaminations, find as the only 'exit' out of their inhuman present the hatred of the 'Other' (in this case the West, and more particularly the US) as preached by thousands of quasi-illiterate, bogus-Islamic, pseudo-theologians during the hysterical, and yet absolutely political, 'khutbahs' (sermon before the Friday prayer) delivered in mosques that ceased to be religious houses and have become home to the worst racism and to antihuman discrimination propagated falsely in the name of Islam?

How many khutbas have been recorded by the supposedly intelligent journalists and editors of the great circulation American (and European) newspapers, reviews and magazines?

Why the Western mass media do not inform the average readership about night sessions of totally un-Islamic and purely Satanic prayers held in mosques whereby millions of fanaticized (and therefore victimized and false) Muslims are conducted to express – for hours – their curses against Sharon, Bush and others, while wishing the best for the 'fighters' who perpetrate criminal attacks and suicide bombings in Iraq, Israel, and elsewhere.

Who sought to find the target, the goal, the aspiration that these criminal, extremist, bogus-Islamic sheikhs try to instigate, and have actually already instigated, into the minds of their victims, the millions of fanaticized have-nots?

Or is it intelligent to disregard the goal of let's say 400 million fanatic people, only because they are have-nots?

How can Americans and Europeans sleep calmly, whereas they should know that the goals praised during the bogus-Islamic, truly Satanic, Sermons ('khutbas') of Hatred are

- to damage any Western target in order to prepare the way of a Messiah, the so-called Mahdi, whom they perceive – contrarily to authentic understanding of Islamic eschatological sources – as a kind of cruel military fighter, something between Saladin and … Mullah Umar.

- to use any possible weapon or trickery against the West, and more particularly America and Israel, even if this involves great natural disasters and devastations.

- to prepare for an ultimate war in order to enslave the West in the name of their (supposed) Islam.

- to be ready to kill as many Israelis and Jews as possible.

- to reject automatically and without a second thought anything coming from the West and from the reform/revision/updating of Islam as practiced in Turkey following the rise of Mustafa Kemal Pasha Ataturk.

- to concentrate on these goals, and disregard anything else that could help them improve their miserable standards of life.

- to reject blindly any form of discussion, dialogue, exchange, change, rethinking, concept re-examining, data cross-checking that could remove them even for one inch from their limited horizons and the concentration on their aforementioned goals.

To estimate the goals of the fanaticized masses, the American administration must first come to know them. Then, the correct sociological and psychological studies must be carried out so that ignorant politicians and naive diplomats finally come to understand what it means for a simple person to fight without having anything to lose.

The correct parallels must be established with the fanaticized Nazi masses that – quite mistakenly and idiotically – have long become the subject of an irrational effort of demonizing. Certainly, Nazism, along with the Nazi masses, was a black page of the History of the Mankind, but if we think that Nazism consisted in the worst that can happen in the World History, then we become the first direct victims of political naivety.

For such naivety, the price may be extraordinarily high.
