War on “terror” turns into wholesale war on Muslims & converts Osama into darling of oppressed

Some stooges in the Arab world are asking: When the Muslims of the whole world in one voice condemned Salman Rushdie for his hated book, why there is not even a single fatwa against Osama bin Laden in the whole word? Not even by a petty moulana?

This is a very important question that needs some thought.

Ours is not a Muslim paper. But we have a fairly good number of Muslim members in our DV family worldwide and a large number of admirers. But DV is read only by revolutionary Muslims. And only an oppressed person can be a revolutionary. Rich people want no change. They support the status quo.
That is why only the poor and the oppressed people — whether Muslim, Dalit or any other community — can be revolutionary. They only fight and die for their liberation.

Who fights for social change: No Muslim religious leader has the courage to issue a fatwa against Osama because the poor and oppressed Muslims are convinced he is fighting and suffering for their liberation. That is why he has become the darling of the oppressed Muslims. Since the poor and the oppressed are in an overwhelming majority in all Muslim societies, none has the courage to slap a fatwa. This is the simple answer.

In every society, it is mainly the poor and the oppressed who think and work for social change. All those who fought and died for social change belonged to the oppressed class. Osama belongs to this class. And that is why the oppressed whether Muslim or otherwise love him — despite the mountains of White Western racist propaganda against him.

Bhindranwale called terrorist: Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale is another good example. India's Brahminical rulers called him a terrorist and sent the Army itself into the Golden Temple and launched the Blue Star (1984) killing thousands of Sikhs. But the oppressed Sikhs raised him to the stature of a super saint, ranking next only to Guru Gobind Singh.

We too had met Sant Bhindranwale and extended our full support for which we were arrested in 1986 and kept in the Chandigarh jail. We suffered with the suffering Sikhs because we felt it was our duty to suffer.

M.K. Gandhi too was called a terrorist by the British rulers and lobbed him in the jail. But the ruling upper castes of India hailed him as the "Father of the Nation".

Veerappan as darling: Down South, we have the famous example of Veerappan. He is dubbed as forest brigand, dacoit, smuggler, serial-killer — all sorts of epithets. But to the oppressed people of Tamil Nadu and around the forest, he is a saviour. Even the Govt. of India has failed to catch him despite boasting of its "seventh biggest army in the world". Such a mighty power could not catch a forest-dwelling frail figure with just a toy gun capable of killing a bird. We have written enough on Veerappan who is the darling of the poor, oppressed masses. Even the Indian Army could not catch him because he is well-protected by the poor, oppressed masses.

(DV July 16, 2003 p.23: "Secret of Veerappan's invincibility" and DV Jan.1, 2003 p. 7: "Shame on a country that can't catch Veerappan").

This is the case with Osama also. To the 1.2 billion Muslims of the world (barring the corrupt Muslim stooges of the West), he is the darling. Because it is Osama who has proved to the world that the current American-led war on "terror" has become nothing but a war on Islam.

Yes. America now and then comes out with a falsehood that not all Muslims in the world are terrorists. But even a child can say that all the victims of its anti-terrorist war and violence are none other than the Muslims. In the eyes of the zionists evey Muslim is a terrorist.

A permanent place in history: Osama was the first person to say this and also prove it to the world. That is why the common, oppressed Muslims in Bombay's Bhendi Bazar or the slums of Cairo or Iraq believe that Osama is their darling.

It is America and its allies who made Osama world famous and gave him a celebrity status — nay a permanent place in history.

The zionists controlling the American Govt.,its economy and its media came out with their famous "Clash of civilisations" theory to deceive the oppressed of the world. But none got deceived. DV was perhaps the first to warn the oppressed of the world that the above cunning theory of the zionists was aimed at enslaving four categories of people: Blacks, Muslims, Browns (Indians) and Chinese and making the White Western racists as the permanent rulers of the world under the zionist control. All the four categories of people are in Africa and Asia where the majority of the Muslims live.

They mounted their war against Muslims in Afghanistan and then in Iraq to protect Israel. In other words, the "Clash of civilisations" was nothing but a declaration of war on Muslims. Osama was the first person to make this fact known to the world and the Muslims in particular. That is why he has become the darling of the Muslim masses.

Defeat in Iraq & Afghanistan: Not only that. Osama was the first person to call the bluff of the "Clash of civilisations" and defeat the White Western racists in their game. Both in Afghanistan and Turkey they were defeated despite heavy loss of Muslim lives and property. Muslims died in thousands and in the process discovered the world's unique wonder weapon of "suicide bomber" before which the cowardly White Western racists trembled and fled. (DV Aug.1, 2004 p. 23: "West losing war on Muslims").

This anti-Muslim world-wide war is resulting in the deaths of mainly poor Muslim masses. Rich Muslims are not much affected so far. But they are not going to be spared. The White Western racists are after the Muslim oil wealth.

Spirit of Islam: Osama was the first person in the world to prove this point to the oil-rich affluent Arabs and warn them that because they have forgotten the "Spirit of Islam", they should now get ready to face the Curse of Allah. That is why Osama has become the darling of the poor and oppressed Muslims who are the real protectors of the "Spirit of Islam". (V.T. Rajshekar, Curse of Allah, DSA-1997).

The zionist-controlled Western media and the Brahminical media in India are giving only one side of the picture in this "war on terror". They say the Muslims are "killing innocents". But they are not saying the whole truth about the thousands of times more innocent Muslims killed.

Osama was the first person who brought these facts before the Muslim masses and that is why he is loved.

Saudi rulers as enemy: Osama's so-called "terrorist" war is not confined to America and the West. No doubt he has declared the White Western racists and their zionist controllers as the enemy No.1 of the Muslims.

But he was also the first person to say that without eliminating the internal enemy, it will not be possible to fight the external enemy. The internal enemy is his own country's Saudi rulers. (DV July 1, 2004 p. 8: "Osama decides to finish Saudi regime"). Look, how impartial he is in fighting for justice and truth. He does not spare his own kith and kin. Saudi rulers are more worried about Osama than the zionists. That is why he has become the darling of the Muslim masses.

Yet another fantastic development has taken place in the Muslim world. This American war on terror (read Muslims) may be aimed at Osama and his al-Qaida who are called Islamic fanatics or extremists. America is creating stooges among Muslims describing them as "liberal" Muslims.

Beware of "liberal" Muslims: These "liberal Muslims" like India's "Socialist Brahmins" are more dangerous than the Hindu nazi "Sacred Brahmins". Osama is the first person to expose these liberal, secular Muslims. That is why he has become the darling of oppressed Muslims.

But America does not know that its blind war on Muslims has handed over Islam into the hands of "extremists" like Osama. That is why no Muslim moulana has the courage to issue a fatwa against Osama.

Compared to the West, Muslims all over the world have been poor, oppressed but peace-loving people. America whipped up these sleeping Muslims and made them angry, fighting and dying. It is America and its zionist controllers who created Osama who has become the darling of revolutionary Muslims.

We don't know if there is really a person like Osama. Nobody knows where he lives. America has failed to catch or kill him. The failure of the world's sole super power to "finish" a frail figure sitting atop a mountain without any modern weapon or communication facility, with no human comfort, has made him the darling of the Muslim masses for his supreme self-sacrifice, presenting before the modern Muslim world a new Messiah to guide them in these critical times. So the Muslims of the world have to thank America and their zionist controllers for creating a new path-finder.

Final warning: It is the American rulers and their zionist controllers who made him world famous, a cult figure and a darling of the Muslim masses. Hundreds of books have come out on him. the Enemy is making him into the world's most feared fiend.

If this reckless war and violence against Muslims continue, Osama will grow in stature to bestride the world. And in this "Clash of civilisations", which America started it will be the first to suffer at the hands of revolutionary Muslims.

If that happens, Osama, who has already become the darling of the Muslim masses, will become the darling of the oppressed of the whole world.
