WAKE UP CALL

Hi,

Every time I sit to write about the Iraqi situation, something grave comes up that requires attention. It is now this abortive attempt to explode an American airplane by this Nigerian young man who apparently claims that he was doing it on the orders of Al-Qaida in Yemen. Now this is serious and therefore I would like to address this post directly to all Moslems in North America, i.e. both the United States and Canada.

Fellow Moslems, as I see it, your original nationality and even religion are accidents of birth. You had no choice in that. But a country that you choose of your own free will, and that accepts you and welcomes you without any obligation to do that; that seems to me more precious and worthy of allegiance. Either you have already sworn allegiance or you hope to do that sometime in the future. You are therefore bound by your oath.

This is your country and your father land now. It is your duty to defend it and protect your fellow countrymen. Your livelihood and interests are inextricably linked to those of your new country and its inhabitants. When Al-Qaeda and its likes launch this kind of aggression, they don’t really care about your position and reputation in your chosen land. In fact, this kind of attack is far mare damaging to you than it is to the American people in general, no matter how tragic the consequences may be if these crimes succeed, heavens forbid. These lunatics care even less about you than the thousands of victims that fall all the time in Islamic countries, with their bombs and their attacks. In fact they resent and hate you, for having chosen these lands to settle. I came very hard on OutlawMike in my previous post, but to tell you the truth, deep down in my heart, I could understand his rage; it’s just that his solution angered me. In fact if any of you has the slightest ambiguity about his feeling towards these criminals, you are indeed not worthy to stay here It is time that you rise to defend you honor and your real “country”, which is the one in which you are living and raising your families now. It is not sufficient to sit in your homes and just deprecate these crimes, you have to make your voices heard, and loudly. I know that the vast majority of you are outraged as much as everybody else, but your fellow countrymen must hear you loud and clear. It is a blemish on your reputation and you must do everything in your power to dissociate yourselves from these enemies, your enemies primarily.

The question is how to do that. Of-course the answer lies in organized action. I am thinking of an Islamic Antiterrorist Alliance of North Americans. I am now pondering the founding manifesto of such an alliance, and I hope some of you might think with me to come up with a comprehensive set of principles. This alliance would be open for all patriotic North Americans of any other faith and conviction. Its objectives would be specifically to protect the homeland of North America, and would not be concerned with any issues outside of this land. It would strive to achieve that by peaceful means, including education, public campaigns, the internet etc. It would not hesitate to cooperate with anti-terrorist governmental agencies in any way that is lawful and not prejudicial to the principles of democracy and civil liberties that the U.S and Canada stand for. I shall not elaborate further now and consider this an initial wake up call, and I hope others more capable and articulate than me might take up the cause.

THE PLAN

OutlawMike,

You are forcing me to digress again form the main subject of this blog. Never mind, though, I can persevere for one more post especially for you, see how much I care for you.

What you say is indeed quite alarming, I mean Moslems overrunning Molenbeek, Kuregem, Anderlecht and many other funny names like that is something truly affreux; more scandalous still, some of them actually going so far as wanting to perform prayers !! What horror!! And how about this phallic symbol of a minaret, my god, the thought of one going up your ----, if you will pardon the simile! Church spires are at least conical in shape and they can’t go all the way, so to speak. No wonder the Swiss banned them, though mind you, that does show a little lack of erotic imagination on their part. But then, Swiss peasants were never known for being particularly sexy. It’s probably too much cheese, you know.

Besides, all this pent up emotion and suppressed hatred is not good for your health, especially if you are getting on in years, are you still young? You can try drinking a lot of green tea and there are other recipes quite good to calm ones’ nerves, but I hardly think that will solve your problem entirely

No No No, something more drastic must be done; especially since I dont think stupid governments will accept you plans of mass deportation. So I have been thinking hard of a plan of action on your behalf; something that only a diabolical Moslem mind like mine can hatch. If you are man enough to match action to words, you may consider it; you don’t want Bin Laden types to put you to shame for being prepared to follow words with deeds. And here is the plan in brief:

You start by growing a thick beard. Next find some shabby clothes and try them on. Try to venture into one of these Moslem enclaves, perhaps Molenbeek (the 78% one). Make some acquaintances who look particularly the practicing Moslem types. Pretend that you are interested in Islam and ask them to take you to mosques to learn more about the religion. Little by little you will gain their trust and start frequenting their places. This plan needs patience and perseverance my friend, remember how Al Qaeda operatives plan and work for years for their exploits. Be inspired by that. Someday you will get to know some real hardcore Jihadi-Salafists and pretend to be influenced by them. You will convert and utter the Shahada, and become one of them. But be careful not to be really converted, I suspect you have the temperament for it. Finally confide to them that you have decided to become a suicide martyr and they might send you to Afghanistan or Somalia or some other hell for training. Once you have had your training and got your suicide belt packed with freshly made C4 in Syria, Iran or God knows where, tell them that you have a desire to meet their leaders before going to paradise. Who knows, luck might smile to you and you get to meet the great one himself. They will be thrilled to have such a convert, I am sure. The final act will be for you to try to smuggle your suicide belt during this audience, and boom, good riddance to a lot of terrorists, not to mention your good self too. It would be wonderful if you could recruit some like minded friends of yours and all do the thing simultaneously in true Al-Qaeda style. Don’t you think it is a wonderful plan?

Don’t forget to post a martyrdom video tape message on the internet, or better still send it to me. We shall be famous, man. It’s all about publicity and the television.

Salam

WHAT TO DO WITH THE MOSLEMS

Hi everybody:

First of all I wish to convey greetings and best wishes to all my old friends and readers of this blog.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody.

Actually, I intended to discuss the Iraqi situation and my forebodings regarding the future in the light of the planned American withdrawal. However, the irksome discussions in the comments section about Islam and the Muslims force me to this digression.

Actually, I could have dismissed the ideas of OutlawMike (an old visitor to this blog) as being too extreme and outlandish and of no particular importance. However, unfortunately, I think this kind of prejudice is spreading alarmingly, especially in French speaking European countries, and even some non-French ones too. Although I am sure that it is still a minority that would go as far as our friend OutlawMike. So I would like to make few remarks apropos.

1- The slogan – “Get out of our countries”, evokes a painful recent memory of mine. In the ethnic cleansing campaign that took place in Iraq mainly in the years of 2006-2007-2008, the most common way of expelling Shiaa’s in Sunni areas and Sunnis in Shiaa neighborhoods was to slip a note on a piece of paper under the front door of the targeted family with almost precisely these words “Get out of our land” and of course accompanied with threats etc. The horrors that befell those who didn’t comply with the threats for any reason even if it was incapacity, old age or whatsoever are too painful to recount. Christian and other minorities, of-course, also suffered in these events; but mainly it was between Sunnis and Shiaas. Eventually everybody discovered that the process only brought ruin and destruction to everybody including the fact that “their lands” became worthless in commercial value.

Needless to say, this is an ancient slogan – Jews (Judens) Get out of the land of the AryansBosnians Get out of the land of Serbs – Armenians in east turkey etc. etc.; the examples are countless. I advice my friend OutlawMike to drop this idea completely, and assure him that it is an extremely evil and in particular unchristian thought if he is Christian.

2- Another argument rings a familiar bell. OutlawMike, says that he knows there are some good Muslims, but since these will be included in the mass deportation that he is proposing, they should understand that it is in a good cause, and therefore accept it in a sporting spirit, as it were.

This is very similar to one argument of terrorists of Al-Qaeda et al. type. When they are told that terrorist acts kill innocent people, including some good Muslims (i.e. good as per wahabi-salafi specifications, so to speak), their retort is ready: There is no problem, since Allah (God) will make sure that they are recompensed in the afterlife and they will “understand that it was in good cause”. This argument I have heard with my own ears several times.

Another real anecdote comes to mind in this respect. A horrible massacre on grand scale of presumed “communists” took place in Indonesia after the fall of Sukarno way back in the sixties or early seventies, I don’t quite remember. It was estimated that some three million souls perished in this atrocity. These unfortunate humans were often hung from trees and hacked to death. The mobs were instigated by some clergy (the precursors of Bin Laden, I suppose), and thought that it was a good religious act because these “communists” were atheists (Kafirs). However, during the course of the massacres a problem arose. Some of these unfortunates while being hung to be butchered uttered the “Shahada” (i.e. the Muslim expression of faith: I witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger). It is said that the massacres stopped for three days while the clergy or “Muftis” were pondering this theological problem- since these men pronounced the “Shahada” they could no longer be considered as atheists, and hence would it be lawful to kill them? Finally the following Fatwa (religious edict) was pronounced by these venerable Ulama. The Fatwa was something like this: “The uttering of Shahada by these communists was either sincere or fake to save their skins. If it was false, then they deserve their punishment. But if it was genuine, then by killing them they are dispatched to God, and God will reward their sincerity and they will understand that it was for a good cause.” The massacre was resumed with renewed vigor with the conscience of the mob put at ease.

I think your proposal Mr. OutlawMike, might face a similar problem. What if some of these Europeans of Moslem descent, to be deported, were actually atheists or not particularly religious? How would you solve this problem? I would like to know your Fatwa in this regard.

3- The main attribute of Fascism is not socialism – It is racism - the concept of genocide and mass punishment of whole groups of a particular race or religion. Therefore your assertion that since you hate socialism, you cannot be accused of this ideology is not valid. You, my friend are a fascist par excellence .

Finally, if you think you are Christian, you are forgetting one of the greatest principles of Jesus (PBU), nay, one of the greatest concepts of all – “Love Your Enemy”. This principle is not a kind of excessive kindness or exaggerated charity. It is a very profound religious, political and social program. I have always pondered this particular slogan. But I think this question cannot be dealt with here. Volumes can be written in exploring this fathomless idea with far reaching implications.

According to recently published U.N. estimate, 25% of the world population is of the “Islamic Faith”. In mathematical language if you divide the number of extremists by the total number of Muslims, you will get a figure which is practically equal to zero in the engineering sense, i.e. negligible. Of course not all those who are born to Moslem parents are religious or practicing. The world has become one big village, and ideas such as yours Mr. OutlawMike, are not only immoral, but they are completely anachronistic and impractical.

But In any case, I hope I have not offended you and assure you that your comments are always read by me and considered carefully.
Best regards to you and all my old friends.

HI, ITS ME AGAIN

Dear friends,

It has been a long time since I posted. Many things have happened meanwhile. So many thoughts and reflections I felt like conveying to you. Well, for those who have known this blog for a long time will remeber that it was originally created for a purpose. The purpose was WARNING. Warning of danger. Of grave danger to Iraq as well as to the West and the U.S. in particular. Nowadays, I have this premonition of danger. I am compelled to spell out my fears. I am just posting to signal to my friends that I am trying to collect my thoughts to express this new warning and that I hope to resume posting at least about this soon.

Wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Your friend Alaa
