ROLE FOR CHINA, RUSSIA & S.AFRICA

Islam - Christianity reconciliation needed to save world from sure Armageddon

Even the most rabid pro-zionists were shocked by the barbarity of Israel on innocent Lebanese civilians in its latest war against a tiny guerilla force, Hezbollah, headed by Nasrallah. All these days Israel was fighting and killing poor Palestinians. But now it got engaged in another war against another poor country Lebanon.

The whole world is shocked that there is none to control this mad dog biting every passerby.

The zionist state has created enemies all around — Syria and Iran. Black days are ahead for West Asia.

The world will see no peace until this problem of the zionist occupation of the Arab land is solved. Every war that America has fought (and is fighting to this day) in Afghanistan, Iraq etc. was to defend Israel at the cost of world peace.

Shift Israel to USA: That is why we had suggested shifting of Israel (meaning the zionist state) to America where plenty of land is available (DV Edit Feb.16, 2006: “Shift Israel to America: Zionist state threatened by deadly enemies all around”).

Instead of wasting all the time, energy and money of the United Nations and of the US, UK etc. on tackling terrorism (read Muslims) and plunging the world in eternal tension, war and violence, the world can heave a sigh of relief if the zionist state is relocated to USA. DV family members have already welcomed our suggestion.

Even a pro-Israeli journal like the London Economist (Aug.19, 2006) made a cover story headlined “Nasrallah wins the war” — a prediction that we made even as the war was on (DV Aug.16, 2006 p.20: “Zionists create another hero for Muslim masses” & Sept.1, 2006 p.6: “Why mighty Israel was defeated by puny Hezbollah?”).

Muslim-Christian polarisation: The Israeli lack-lustre Prime Minister, Olmert, is under fire for losing the war and he may be thrown out. Israel even failed to secure its two soldiers captured by the Hezbollah — which was the cause of the war. What a shame for the mighty zionists who control the world. Having failed, Israel will have to meet with many more failures.

Israel is today acknowledged as the sole cause of world unrest, war and violence — plus the polarisation of the population between Christians and Muslims.

We have made it clear that Western Christians and even American Christians are innocent. The helpless Christian majority population in USA and UK are manipulated by its zionist controllers.

It is high time the Christian laity set aside its spineless religious leadership of the Catholic Pope and the Protestant World Council of Churches and assert itself and declare that they have nothing against Muslims and Islam.

A noted American intellectual, Dr. Richard W. Bulliet, Prof. of History at the famous Columbia University, makes an impassioned plea for such a unity in his latest book, Islamo-Christian Civilization, Columbia University Press (2004).

We cannot expect the European Christian countries, too much under zionist influence, to take up such a unity move. The initiative has to come from leading non-Christian and non-Muslim powers like China, Russia and South Africa.

Untrustworthy India: India would have been an ideal fourth choice but after India’s Brahminical rulers joined hands with their Jewish blood brothers India has become a suspect in the eyes of the world. United Nations being a puppet in Jewish hands, it can’t play any role.

If such unity efforts are not taken up immediately, the zionists will force America to launch a war against Iran, which has now emerged as the leader of the whole Muslim world, and that means a sure Third World War.

In this war it is the Western Christian world that stands to lose and China that stands to gain a lot. Muslims will emerge as world force. Zionists will be the worst sufferers.

Brother Bulliet’s work did not get publicity perhaps because it was not to the liking of the zionists.

Media monopoly: We met some Jews in London, New York and Washington who asserted they were against zionism. If these people are sincere in their claim that Jews are against zionism, they too can support the Islamo-Christian reconciliation.

But we are too pessimistic of such a unity because any unity effort needs public opinion which is shaped by the media. With the zionist-controlled media in US in particular and West in general we are not hopeful. Besides, the West is today flooded with books preaching anti-Muslim hatred. Heading the list is the hate-monger Huntington with his book, Clash of Civilisations. The zionist thought disguised as Neo-Conservatism (Neocons) is controlling and virtually ruling the West. And this thought calls for all-out war on Islam and Muslims which we are witnessing today. Who will bother about saner voices like that of Dr. Richard W. Bulliet?

“Politically, 14 of today’s 34 European countries were at one time or another wholly or partially ruled by Muslims for periods of a century or more”, (p.6) he says calling for a fresh look at history.

What West owes to Islam: To a great extent the Western Christian world owes its great advance in science and technology to Islam. Its consequent rapid industrialization were mainly influenced by Muslim contributions. Prof. R.W. Bulliet says that Western philosophy, theology, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, music, literature, manufacturing, cuisine were influenced by Islam.

The areas most heavily influenced were in southern Europe, but Muslim philosophical views penetrated the universities of northern Europe as well. Muslims today lament the fact that so few people in the West appreciate the massive transfer of culture, science, and technology that began during this period; that transfer, they maintain, paved the way for Europe’s later scientific discoveries and intellectual sophistication. This fully warranted lamentation illustrates the power of historical narratives. (Ibid p.31).

Christian stagnation: Islam made big strides due to conversion but Christianity stagnated and fell backwards (p.41). The Western arrogance was caused by its claim for superiority being a colonial power which in turn closed most Western minds.

If Christianity was propounded by imperialists, Islam, unwavering in its vision of a universal legal and moral order, increasingly became the bastion of resistance to tyranny (p.43), he says appealing for Islamo-Christian reconciliation “if we are to have any hope of turning an infamous day of tragedy into a historic moment of social and religious inclusion” (p.45).

Islamisation of India: India too was ruled for over 800 years by Muslims and Islamic egalitarian values have attracted millions of Untouchables, tribals and Backward Caste victims of Hinduism. So much so India itself has become the second largest Muslim country in the world. Some experts fear that India’s Muslim-hating Brahminical rulers may push more and more oppressed Indians into Islam and that finally India itself may go Muslim.

In the light of such all-pervading gloom with the entire USA and Europe gripped by anti-Muslim hatred followed by large-scale war, violence, death and destruction, we call upon the right thinking academics and scholars like Dr. R.W. Bulliet to take the initiative to save the world from the coming Armageddon.

The art of dying: The West is perhaps under the illusion that large-scale oppression, war and violence will force Muslims to submit and surrender. But the stepped up war against Muslims that began with the advent of Bush-II, who formally inaugurated it with 9/11, must have convinced the West that the poor, suffering Muslims are not afraid of dying. The “Spirit of Islam” has taught them the art of dying. But it is the rich property-loving ruling class of the West that loves life and hence afraid of dying.

How can those who are afraid of dying win a war? Did they win any war against Muslims? If so with what confidence US is getting ready to attack Iran?

We are neither Muslims nor Christians. Not even Hindus. In India, our people were liberated by Christianity and Islam from Hindu persecution. Brahminical oppressors have joined hands with Jews and America. That is how we are seriously interested in Christian-Muslim reconciliation and ready to do anything towards that.
