Plead for a Debate within Islam

European appeasement functions against the US

The European tactics of appeasement (and debate prevention) is not ensuing from fear, it is rather the traditional colonial policy of keeping people ignorant and undeveloped instead of seeing them emancipated and educated. In this regard, Europe is at this moment the major obstacle for the US, if we assume that there are forces in Washington that would truly push towards the beginning of the debate. Of course, the local, royal and presidential dictators will try to avoid this debate (and this is the reason they rather side with Europe, and try to gain time and to avert the issue) because they are committed to the terrorist sheikhs who are hidden behind them.

Hanbali-zation, Taimiya-zation, Wahhabi-zation of today's Islam

It is an illusion to think that people like the late Shaarawi (minister of Sadat), Qaradawi, Fethullah Gulen, Amr Khaled, and Tareq Ramadan are not close to the terrorist front.

Despite theoretical variations (that only help them play the politics of their choice), they all emanate from a line that ultimately comes from Hanbal – Ibn Taimiya – Abdel Wahhab: the nomadic, anti-Aramaean, anti-Persian, anti-Coptic and anti-Berberic interpretation of a fictional Islam of Hedjaz, of a nomadic Islam necessary for people of low behavioural system, indifferent for Arts, Letters, Sciences, and Philosophy.

It is wrong to ask today whether a Muslim sheikh and intellectual (who can be truly called like that?) comes from this or that country, and then try to check whether the local tradition if Maliki, Shafei or Hanafi. After Ibn Taimiya (non instantly (of course) and long before Abdel Wahhab the three other schools had been hanbal-ized.

Limits to surpass

Of course, debates took place within Islam in the past, I mean strong philosophical debates like the famous polarization around Ibn Rushd and Al Ghazali. But then, we were before 700, 800, 900, 1000 years. Consider what polarization could then possibly take place within Christianity: a very limited one!

I say this because in the past (before the dry period of Darkness that covered everything within Islam after 1600) the Islamic Debates were carried out within some limits; questions could not rise about the authenticity of the Coran, the accepted as Qudsi Hadith, the first Four Caliphs of Madina, etc. The fratricidal wars that had shaken the aurora of Islam had left bad impressions and fear of discord.

When you are at the top of Baghdadian and Andalusian opulence, art, wisdom and science, you think you vanquished evil and negativity, you do not need to scratch old wounds, you leave some part of evil hibernating.

When you face foreign threat and attacks (Crusades and Mongols – destruction of Baghdad at 1258), you think wise to forget – again – the old divisions and the points of further inner strife.

There were moments in Islam when people reached within minimal distance from starting a debate like that:

- How can we accept a Hadith that contradicts the real essence of the teachings of Islam?

- How can we accept that the Prophet did what we must never do (pedophilia) and what other prophets were not allowed to do?

One understands of course that what stood behind the Aisha story was incommensurably more important than pedophilia to the then rulers: it was all about the legitimacy of Bakr and the Sunni political concept of Caesaro-papism.

However, this was the past! Now, we must talk free and about all.

All specialists are welcome

This debate must be undertaken by Muslims and Christians, Jewish and atheists, anyone who has a specialized background in the Islamic Civilization must participate.

Muslims can certainly side with Truth seekers of any religious faith against Muslims who try to diffuse lies, cover issues, and propagate their system of ignorance that drives masses to terrorism. And they will.

It will be essential to challenge the poor intellectual resources and the limited knowledge of the outright majority of the existing sheikhs. If this is not successfully done, the criminal bogus-Islamic sheikhs of Satan will not be discredited enough among Muslims. And yet this will be the only real victory for the Civilized World, the West, the East, the North and the South.

Location of the debate

The debate must be generated/sponsored/promoted by an international body, UNESCO or anything as new branch of the UN.

One cannot work with the extremist Secretary General of the Islamic Conference Organization, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the personal friend of the disreputable and undemocratic Tayip Erdogan, the current Turkish premier. And one does not need this; one needs precisely the opposite.

A grassroots' organization should first be established with main target to establish a comprehensive network of 500 reformist Muslim intellectuals from all the Muslim countries and communities. Oppressed Muslims – victims of Pan-Arabism must be promoted high within this organization. The members should be financed to write, publish, diffuse and debate; one of their tasks will be to gather more and more members ready to contribute.

Example of action

To offer an example:

1. associates / assistants of the members should collect (tape recording) Khutba speeches (sermons) given throughout the world every Friday by notorious extremist and ignorant sheikhs

2. the khutbas must be translated (to at least 5 – 7 major languages)

3. the khutbas must become a matter of theoretical rejection and public outcry by the members of the organization (articles, essays, analyses)

4. the practice must be important in numbers (every week at least 200 texts of khutbas collected, translated, and multi-refuted)

5. the Board of Directors must instantaneously (and repeatedly every week) issue a formal condemnation demanding the indigenous kings and presidents to immediately arrest these sheikhs as criminals against the Mankind as spreading bogus-Islamic Extremism and anti-Christian, anti-Western (etc, etc, etc) Hatred

6. the Director General should accuse solemnly these kings and presidents as acting leaders of terrorists (because in the beginning they will not bother taking any action of course) and demand the UN, the US, and others to intervene and chastise the local terrorist power

7. An alliance of states must demand from all the countries concerned (those standing accused of terrorism because of the registered, translated and refuted khutbas) to offer wide space and full media coverage to the members, the Board of Directors and the Director General of the Organization.

8. If countries fail to do so, immediate action must be taken, end of any technology transfer, blockades, total cancellation of tourist packages, and eventual occupation of strategic areas. Preemptive strikes, if needed, should be reminiscent of the Belgrade 1998 case. One has to anticipate that allover the world two or three cases of strikes will happen, but this is nothing to be feared, support will come from elsewhere.

9. It will be essential to ensure full global media coverage to masses that will side with the reformers, parties that will appear to support the ideas, and the local press that will be launched

10. The dynamism of the moment must be overwhelming and what comes next will show where Western money must go.

The upper middle-classes are the venomous enemy of the West.

The worst failure of America is not Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and/or the perpetuation of the Palestinian problem. The worst failure is the impossibility to identify the enemy.

The secret enemy of the Americans are their ….. interlocutors.

1. The terrorist is just the hand that commits the criminal act.

2. The extremist sheikh is the owner of the factory that produces terrorists

3. The bogus-university that prepares sheikhs belongs to the state, the supposedly US-friendly administration that strives to help solve all problems with ….. Israel (what a laugh!), while controlling the anti-Zionist local populations !!!!!

4. The state belongs to the upper middle classes, a small portion of the society, the businesspeople, the managers and the directors, the professors and the generals, a class that does not represent more than 2 to 3% of the entire population of the country-factory of Islamic Terrorism.

These people are the businesspeople who meet the experts of Microsoft and Intel, Vodafone and France Telecom, the traders who contact Toyota and Ford, the professors who denounce Ossama Bin Laden, the generals who want to buy military aircraft spare parts, the actors who are dressed like average people in the streets of San Francisco, Napoli, Sydney and Amsterdam.

These guys are all saying lies to the Americans and the Europeans; they behave like westerners when dealing with Westerners but when back at home

- they express a total hatred against the West

- they articulate the most extremist and terrorist proposals

- they behave in a mean, miserable and dejected way.

These guys, the purported friends and interlocutors of the West,

- want their women covered (with hedjab or even niqab)

- threaten or despise anyone who does not fast in Ramadan

- curse openly anyone who enjoys drinking wine, and says that Abbasid Baghdad was well familiarized with wine and danse

- impose in a dictatorial way on their employees and subordinates a terrorist interpretation of Islam, hatred against America,, and rejection of any element of Western culture

- impose five prayers per day on all their colleagues or subordinates, threatening them with deferment of professional promotion or even with firing

- go to apparently well built mosques in their wealthy districts (parking their Mercedes or BMWs outside the mosques) in order to passionately listen to the most barbaric and extremist khutbas with plenty of attacks against America, Israel, and the West in its totality

- reject the eventuality of a secular state and support total oppression of the Christian masses, believing that like this they ensure an impossible situation that will ultimately lead all Christian to final islamization (and so idiotic they are that they believe that this will be their ticket to the …. Paradise), and last but not least

- identify as their worse enemy within the Islamic World Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

- find supreme joy in spending long hours in the mosque every Ramadan night in order to practice a completely altered tradition (Tarawikh), during which they curse America, Israel and the West, and they pray that their Satanic bogus-Allah permits them to invade the world, and kill all those who do not become Muslim!

America and the West must understand that the situation changes totally among lower classes that have not been driven to such totalitarian practices and misinterpretations. Among simple people, one finds easily guys who prefer to flirt with girls, visit secret houses of prostitution, enjoy alcohol, appreciate homosexual intercourse, and tolerate anything would turn a fanatic sheikh angry.

The West must contact these masses and support them to final emancipation and sociopolitical imposition over t6he hypocritical upper middle class ladies, who although uncovered (to imitate Western practices) admit that the correct in Islam is for a woman to be covered! Of course, it is interesting to add that these ladies do not even cross average residential areas because dressed like this they would be exposed to vulgar comments of filthy youngsters who are encouraged by the Satanic sheikhs (and the US friendly businessmen) to express themselves in terms of barbaric and hideous behavioural system, as this helps perpetuate the intolerant present situation that severely violates Women's Rights to a respectful life.

By supporting lower classes, America and the West would not support deviation and sins; they would support Freedom vs. Hypocrisy.

Because it is Hypocrisy to pray 5 times per day because of the ‘premeditated calculation' that like this I supposedly ensure myself a position in the …. Paradise.

And there is nothing worse in Islam than the Munafiqin (the hypocrites).
