Escalating Crisis of the Muslim World for the Koranic Backing of Radical Islam, Terrorism and Sunni – Shiite Clashes
Politics / Religion Jan 13, 2016 - 11:51 AM GMT
Till the end of the twentieth century over 90 % of the world Muslims and almost all the rest of the Humanity believed that Islam was a Religion of Peace and it was one of the best religions having solutions to most of the problems of the Humanity. People belonged to other religions or even irreligious people had been attracted towards Islam or converted to Islam for the example of peace-loving and spiritual Muslims, including Sufis.
The Other Face of Islam
For its ‘open-door policy’ of accepting anybody in the fold of Islam even without verifying the credentials and sincerity, along with innocent souls, some of the hardcore criminals, sadists with killer instincts and sex-starved men, including priests, and nymphomaniac women, besides the agents of secret or spy organizations have been converted to Islam. Along with it, Islamism and Radical Islam have spread across the entire Islamic world, even with the support of several Muslim countries and organizations.
With the widespread growth of Islamism, Radical Islam, and Islamic Terrorism in the Muslim World, Islam has been unveiled or reconstructed as a Religion of War and Terror without any solution to the basic problems of the Humanity, including the Muslims, such as hunger, ignorance, growing inequality and oppression. In fact, it could aggravate the human crisis for its blunt glorification of wars, terror and martyrdom.
Radical Islam
Radical Islam is embedded over 70 per cent of the Koran and Hadiths so that any Muslim, even the meek, educated and peace-loving Muslim, can easily be metamorphosed as a violent, angry and revengeful Radical Muslim if approached and brainwashed properly siting the Quran and Hadiths for that purpose. That is why; so many responsible, hardworking and highly intelligent Muslim youths are attracted towards ISIS even against the will of their parents.
Radicalization of the Islamic World
Some of the new converts had become its preachers, including YouTube famed clerics or staunch activists of several Islamic Organizations, Social Media Propagandists, beside Explosive or Suicide Bomb Experts. Funds had been pumped for their activities from the entire Islamic World besides strictly observing the dress or appearance or behavior codes. Gradually, the entire Islamic world has been infused and radiated with the Radical Islam and Islamic Fundamentalism, citing the relevant portions of the Quran and Hadiths.
It had also been drawing inspirations from the early wars fought by Mohammad as well as the later Islamic invasion of the entire Middle East and a major part of Africa, including Egypt besides some parts of Asia and Europe using the successful strategies of war, rapes, looting and cold-blooded terror and murder to spread Islam.
Not Religion but Regimented System
Radical Islam does not consider Islam as a religion but a highly regimented social, political and economic system called Caliphate under the commandment of the Supreme Leader without any space for Humanism, Spirituality, Democracy and Modernization, as had been prevailed during the time of Mohammad and the early period of Islam.
Every Muslim male is bound to be an eternal fighter of Allah charged with annihilating infidels and non-believers, annexing all other countries and expanding the Caliphate by systematic invasion and give birth to so many children in several women. Every Muslim woman is a bride of the fighter of Allah created for giving sexual gratification to him and to procreate several children. All non-Muslim women are tradable sex slaves of the Allah’s fighters. Radical Islam tells that Prophet Mohammad had practiced slave trade and engaged the sex slaves in his early days. All non-Muslim men are the infidels and enemies of Allah to be enslaved or exterminated mercilessly.
Glorification of War and Crimes
Islamism and Radical Islam propagate that both Koran and Hadiths instruct every Muslim man or woman must strictly follow the way of life, dress and appearance that prevailed at the time of Prophet Mohammad. There is religious sanctity or justification or even glorification of rape, sex-slavery, slave-trade, looting or brutal terrorizing of the ‘Infidels’ or Non-Believers or Enemies of Islam and Allah.
The New Rights and Duties of Men
Radical Islam teaches that Muslim men are entitled or even bound to commit rapes, kidnaps, forced marriages and impregnating non-Muslim girls and women, especially the white western women. Marriage and divorce can religiously be performed within a period of just three days so that a woman can have several husbands one after another on the basis of the mutually agreed ‘mehar’ or dowry within a short period of time so that she can be made safe from the charges of prostitution or adultery. All these have provoked both the Islamic and Non-Islamic Scholars to study the Quran and Hadiths and early history of Islam to verify the truth of the preaching of Radical Islam.
Difficult to Read and Grasp
Both Quran and Hadiths are extremely difficult to read or grasp, as their contents are totally disorganized without any continuity and thematic or chronological connections, sometimes self-contradicting, without any precise context and conclusion. As a result, different Koranic scholars can interpret them contradicting each other. There are several warring sub-sects under two inimical sects in Islam, such as Sunni and Shiite that interpret Quran differently and engage in unending real or proxy wars. This is the basis of the ever growing rivalry and enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia besides a series of terror attacks within Pakistan.
Re-reading the Quran and Hadiths
If Quran and Hadiths are re-read with some background in Spirituality, Statecrafts, Classical Literature, Military Science, War Strategies, Fascism, Terrorism, History of Islamic and Pre-Islamic Middle East and Totalitarian Political System, of course one will have a different picture. The knowledge mappings of both the Quran and Hadiths have been confined with a set of popular primitive Arab desert tribal knowledge, deity, fear, revenge, terror, execution, warfare, culture and way of life, political system, and etc. besides retelling the Bible, especially the Old Testaments in the primitive Arab way.
These texts can also be considered as a political treatise just like the ‘Artha-sastra’ of Chankyia or ‘The Prince’ of Machiavelli or ‘Mein Kampf’ of Adolf Hitler without much spiritual basis, though they frequently use terms like Allah, Prophets, especially the last Prophet, Martyrs and Life after Death in the Hell or Paradise. Even some parts of them can be considered as a handbook of war, terror and brutality.
Even the great Islamic scholars do not have a holistic view of the Quran and Hadiths as the religious instruction of Islam has been confined with ‘the Five Pillars of Islam’ and reciting some portion or the entire Quran without understanding their meaning. Koranic scholars have traditionally been giving emphasis to the culture and socio-political systems described in the Koran and Hadiths besides the war fought by Mohammad and his war strategies, including military drill and war preparedness.
A True Muslim
A stage has been reached in which nobody can be a true Muslim without accepting Radical Islam with strict dress or behavior or appearance codes besides getting ready to be a fighter or martyr of Allah, as prescribed by the Islamic Fundamentalist clerics or preachers. A slightest disobedience invites the anger and punishment of Allah as well as the religious men of Islam. The greatest reward of a true Muslim is bestowed upon when he becomes a martyr in his fights for the cause of Allah and Islam such as taking revenge upon the infidels, non-believers and enemies of Allah and also to expand Islam.
Enemies and Arch-enemies
While Radical Islam declares the entire Non-Muslim world as its enemies, it declares all the modern and liberal Muslim countries such as the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and etc. as its arch-enemies. Women education and women empowerment programs, modernization and democratization of the Muslim countries are considered as the greatest stumbling block for bringing these countries under their control.
Even in Saudi Arabia, the Radical Islam cannot make much stride for the lack of support of Saudi women for Radical Islam and the vigil of the Saudi Rulers. However, they could effectively disrupt the education system of Syria, Iraq, Libya and Nigeria. Widespread women education in African countries is the greatest hurdle for Radical Islam to conquer Africa. That is why; the major task of Boko Haram has been identified as the disruption of the education system in Nigeria and other African countries. The education systems of Pakistan and Afghanistan have already been targeted provoking to mass migration of Muslims to the West.
The Crisis of Faith in Islam
The entire Muslim world, especially the thinking and educated Muslims, including the women, are in the crisis of faith. Muslims have to uphold every word in the Quran and Hadiths as they believe that they are the messages of their God, Allah and teachings of Mohammad, the last Prophet. If it is so, they are forced to uphold that the Radical Islam is right, for, it is backed by the Koran and Hadiths, though they cannot accept it. This is the basis of the crisis of faith of Islam. No Islamic preacher or scholar has so far addressed these pressing issues other than simply glorifying Islam and making claims that Islam is growing fast in Europe adding the refugees, besides posting some well-edited and self-deceiving videos in YouTube or Social Medias.
Every Muslim parent is worried about the fate of his or her sons and daughters who can easily be targeted by the Radical Islam. Every Muslim country has to wage a relentless war against Radical Islam both at home and externally, besides the growing sectarian clashes. Consequently, thousands of educated and thinking Muslims all over the world are losing their faith and turning towards other faiths or even Atheism. Muslims in the non-Islamic world are isolated, hated and fatally targeted for the growing Islamophobia and the surge of Ultra-Fascism against Muslims as explained in my earlier work : ’Spread of Islamophobia and the Upsurge of Ultra-Fascism to Contain and Counter Arabization and Islamization of the West’. http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article53383.html
