For decades, they are undergoing endless mayhems and oppressions with limitless endurance by their callous rulers and pitiless western lords. Skirmish to take control, civil wars, internal violence, carpet bombardments, insurgencies or military assaults; each and every event is supposed to occur in Muslim controlled territories.
Then suffering terrible carnage in the regions where they are in minority; burnt alive, raped and brutal killings of kids, women, and men by the people they have been living along for years, are yet to lift their sagacity in the name of liberalism, democracy, peace and modesty.
The scenario within the Muslims countries themselves is scary too. Enjoying “Picnic” sitting alongside the storming river of their own blood, they ensure the flow must not ease down and actively contribute to supply human blood spelled through sectarian killings, ethnic divisions, Arab and non-Arab classifications and securing own geographical boundaries.
We appear to be a herd of goats escaping from wolf till one of us is victimized and then watching the wolf’s feast standing away not comprehending that it would be the other’s turn next time.
After World War-II, all today’s military and economic powerhouses first made their defense invincible before dashing onto the economic zone. They realized in no time the formidable consequences of battling each other, sectarian hazardousness and value of life.
Reaching pinnacle of deterrence followed by economic and technological revolutions just by building their nations on social, ethical grounds where justice and education are predominant dynamics in 40 to 50 years, they are now on the battle field of economy. In doing so, they are now searching for their new markets for both the military and technological products.
Where all are perished the blocks of World War-II? They are united, poised and respect each other on the basis of what we have been taught 1400 years ago.
9/11 exists in United States but shapes coalition forces (ISAF) including Germany, France, Italy, Australia, United Kingdom and many others to execute self-convicted Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. Brazenly, almost all of the Muslim countries supported them openly and if someone didn’t, opted to hush without uttering a word of defiance.
Why? Why didn’t the intellectuals of US-coalition countries warned their rulers to stay away from the war on terror never hurled over them by that time. Instead, they not only supported but vigorously partaken in this historic Muslims’ slay without any economic and financial provisos. How could they shirk it as it was a part of one common “Capitalistic and Economic Strategy” in the name of “War on Terror”!
Iran-Iraq War, Russia intrusion in Afghanistan, then 9/11 followed by Iraq seizure of Kuwait, the riots in Syria, Libya and Egypt, Bahrain Crisis and Saudi-Iran-backed Yemen conflict; shouldn’t be assessed these all happening are by default or by design?
A disastrous episode pays off prolific returns as all the economic, military & technological powers not only consume obsolete arms and ammunition ‘Arms’ but also test the efficacy of contemporary weapons on Muslims and their soils. Millions of innocent people killed, wounded, hundreds of thousands of kids lost their father, mother or both, mass numbers of modest women rapped and countless homes destroyed irrespective of sect, caste and religion.
The alleged planned anarchy fueled terrorism by pushing people in the Muslim countries en-route of violence, rebel and radical approach. Arms, weapons and fighter jets worth billions exported worldwide and smuggled to the rebellions through international black market or hidden sources.
Now neither of the oppressors needs to land their troops or carry out much of air strikes to secure their national interests. It is the Muslims rulers and rebels serving their objective to shatter each other by the weapons bought from the west.
Consequently, on one side, arch rivals Muslims are ad-infinitum flogged and on the other side; western economy find a rich market to exports of weapons, pharmaceuticals products, machineries, reconstruction articles etc.
You must doubt the sane of the person who link all these actions, activities and attacks with! Chessed up doggedly, it smells soundly a “War on Muslims” to initially engage them in conflicts and eventually to suck up their potency to meet challenges; making them the pawns.
Indian oppression in Kashmir, Russian brutality in Chechnya, Israeli atrocities on Palestinians, or US-led wars on terror; in any case, Muslims are the terrorists and Christian, Jews, Hindus, and Communists are guiltless!
Pakistan is the only nuclear-armed Muslim country with highly trained ground, air and marine troops, reasonable capability to produce weapons within the country and preeminent spy agency ISI, single-handedly conducting CIA, Mossad, RAW, MI6 and other notable counterparts. Despite feeble financial outlay and extraordinary geo-political and regional issues, Pakistan armed forces have repeatedly shown its capability to knob the internal and external threats.
Time and again, Pakistan armed forces have come across huge defense challenges yet surfaced successfully. Their inputs are incredible on all fronts; guarding national boundaries, curbing terrorism, and sorting out externally financed puppets including TTP, BLA, ransom and target killers. Even on the political, economic, and foreign façades, they have strongly presented the case of Pakistan.
Since independence in 1947, Pakistan has enriched in the sole area, defense and military capability and technology. Yet some “so-called intellectuals” criticize on the budgets, expenditures and role of Pakistan Army.
Let me ask one question from such morons, did any of the true intellectuals in United States, United Kingdom/Britain, France, Germany, China and others ever carped on their security forces? Or even if some of them did, how much crowd they pulled?
Never! Sovereignty cannot be compromised on such ‘Dupe Intellectuals’! Whenever a country features a bedlam, terrorist attack, or post-border intervention; these soldiers protect our dominion, honor, assets, and siblings. I have one word for those intellectuals – “Shut-up”!
They read, explore, and communicate to sell their thoughts for money and show off their knowledge and grip on history. Studying history is very vital to create history but if someone indulges in corruption, crime or advocating compromising national interests, should we surf history to spot these traitors?
These are some of the general factors of Muslims disgrace. The rulers somewhere are virtuous and economies affluent but not focusing on evolving a professionally trained armed forces. Similarly, a few have somehow developed a military might but the political mafias are propping up corruption, social inequalities and deny access to justice to relish personal interests. These evils have also triggered terrorism in the society slowly with outrageous upshots.
All the internal, external menaces and sectarian, ethnic and regional differences could only be washed out only if all the Muslim countries not just discourage provoking extremism but also ensure equality, justice in society and off course, reinforce armed forces so that they may not seek support of other countries at the time of pandemonium.
