JUDAISM INTO ZIONISM AND ISLAM INTO TERROR

By Daniel Mabsout

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted

(يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوباً وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ) سورة الحجرات : الآية : 13

There is no doubt that terrorism has been hosted in the Arab and Muslim world and has succeeded in finding an auspicious environment at the great surprise of all . Average people , average citizens and average Muslims , Syrians , Iraqis , Palestinians and Lebanese and others as well, have identified with terrorists , they have welcomed them and hosted them and cooperated and collaborated with them and this is something that cannot be denied and that is extremely dangerous at the same time .

It is not the religion that is to be blamed because there is nothing in the religion itself that is not opposed and totally alien to the practices of groups like al Qa’ida and its like . No doubt, money played a role as well as the spiritual , mental and social overall condition, as also the growing dissatisfaction of the people from the rule they are subject to . All this might justify this identification and collaboration of an important portion of the society with thugs that claim Islam .

But what cannot be explained is the use of mosques in order to promote terrorism and recruit people and send terrorists to Syria under the label of Jihad . The role played by mosques all over the Muslim and Arab world in calling for “ Jihad “ against Syria and rallying against its president and recruiting thousands of thugs for this purpose cannot be forgiven . These campaigns used thousands of Mosques as tribunes to poison the minds and hearts of believers .

Corrupt Sheikhs were thus ordained to rally against Syria while al Azhar never condemned these practices and most religious references instead of denouncing what was happening and label it as Kufr remained silently complacent when not supporting it fully and openly. Thus, true Muslims from all sects are facing a real challenge and would have to meet this challenge in one way or another and restitute to Islam its real dimension of mercy and tolerance and forgiveness .

This extremism attributed to the religion should not only be denounced as alien to it but should be totally uprooted. Islam is tolerance, but this superiority assumed by Muslims over adherents of other religions, should be taken care of . Approving of the two other religions that are Abrahamic is not significant in itself because these religions are considered part of Islam .We are talking here about other faiths like Hinduism and Buddhism and also the different faiths of the Natives of Africa and America , all these are shunned and discarded and despised by the Muslim.

The average Muslim does not seem to understand that these faiths are followed by billions and should be respected . No doubt that this arrogant attitude of unjustified superiority of the Muslim over others is source of evil . This same attitude was exploited by the colonialist who knew how to play on the superiority complex of the Muslims and resorted to partition India along the line of religious differences giving the Muslims a separate state and causing millions to die in a religious massacre whose repercussions are not over yet.

It is the same attitude that is behind the abnormal growth of terrorism sweeping the Arab and Muslim world nowadays killing hundreds of thousands of innocents, as it is behind the silent complacency of the majority of Muslims . It is ignorance that is behind this attitude and not Religion .

There is no merit for a Muslim over another except by devotion says the scripture. Such a verse of the Holy Koran should be extended to all .This superiority that a Muslim assumes de facto over others of different faiths is not beneficial to Islam in any way . As a matter of fact this is what distorted Judaism into Zionism and Islam into Terror .
