THREE AGENDAS:
BUSH-SHARON-LIEBERMAN>LEFT WING
REACTION>ISLAMIC RESURGENCE
Three agendas are quite visible in the world
today as the U.S. moves towards
an assault on
Iraq:
1. RIGHT-WING AGENDA: Pushed by
Bush-Sharon-Perle-Wolfowitz-Lieberman-Falwell
i. All Muslims who fight are terrorists. Good
Muslims are only those who
limit religion to prayer.
ii. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and
should be disarmed
iii. No independent regime opposed to the
U.S.
is to be tolerated.
iv. Karzai type rulers alone will be tolerated.
Saddam-type independents must
be removed.
v. Israel
must be funded and supported in every way.
vi. The Arabs are no match for Israel in
conventional war and should be
thoroughly subjugated.
vii. (Evangelical component.) Jesus will soon
return. We should support
Israel so that Armageddon may come about sooner
than later.
viii. Muslim women must be liberated from the
burqa, hijab etc.
ix. Muslim countries should be "democratized" (a
name for rule by
westernized minorities) and "opened up" (the
terminology of rape) to western
goods just as they are being used to provide
cheap labor.
2. LEFT-WING AGENDA: (Ramsey Clark, Ralph Nader,
Noam Chomsky, Jesse Jackson,
Green Party etc)
i. It's a war for OIL. WAR MUST BE OPPOSED.
ii. Bush and Cheyney are connected to oil
interests.
iii. Taliban, Osama were "created" by the
CIA
iv. Islamic resistance is "blow back" from the
CIA's adventures.
v. Palestinians
should have their own state with
Arafat as their leader
vi. Israel is a legitimate state and should be
allowed to flourish in secure
borders.
vii. Israeli atrocities and Palestinian "suicide"
attacks should be stopped.
viii. Women in
Afghanistan
and other Muslim
countries should not be in
burqas, hijab etc.
3. ISLAMIC AGENDA
1. Every Muslim country should have the right of
SELF-DETERMINATION in its
politics and economics.
2. Most Muslims accept the
Qur'an
and the Sunnah
as final sources of
guidance; hence every Muslim nation should have
the right to build itself
according to Islam.
3. The oil-related wealth of the Muslim world
should be distributed over Asia and
Africa
to put an end to poverty and to
provide education and health
facilities to all.
4. American forces must be withdrawn from the
Muslim world.
5. Israel has no legitimacy. The
Zionists
must go back where they came from.
There is only PALESTINE where the
Jews
indigenous to it can continue to live
peacefully as they always did.
6. In addition to Palestine, KASHMIR and
CHECHNIA
must be liberated.
7. IRAQ is a Muslim country. Any attack on IRAQ
will be considered an attack
on the entire Muslim world. THE ATTACK ON IRAQ IS
NOT SO MUCH AN ISSUE OF OIL
AS OF ISRAEL. The Jews are behind this adventure.
8. American forces must withdraw from AFGHANISTAN
and let the Afghan people
solve their own problems. UNITY OF AFGHANISTAN,
PAKISTAN, KASHMIR under a
federal system is an outcome which is not
difficult to achieve after Islamic
victories.
9. For burqa, hijab, etc., Islam's own internal
dialogue and debate will
determine the rights of women AFTER THE DEFEAT OF
OUTSIDE FORCES. The
behavior of Muslim women is not to be determined
by non-Islamic forces. {The
Chechen women who took part in the Moscow theater
takeover showed that
involvement of Muslim women at all levels of the
struggle is not a
problem. Pakistani women are sending their sons to
Kashmir. Participation leads
to change. It cannot be done by academic
discussion.)
