Woe to Freedoms in which name atrocities are committed, woe to gullibility in which name honest causes are lost, and woe to Honor in which name disgrace is exalted. Evil and evildoers triumphed on Sept. 11th (
USA
), Oct. 12th (Bali), March 11th (
Spain
), July 7th (
U.K.
) and others, because the whole world, and the
USA
in particular, like an ostrich, failed to see the thundering crushing tsunami of the “plat-du-jour” fanatic Islamism.
We failed before and now because all we ought to have done, we have not done; all we ought to have uttered, we have not said, and all we ought to have felt, we have not sensed. Like sheep led to slaughterhouse, we all bowed to the calamity.
The Free World strongly believes that “One is innocent until proven guilty”, wherein dictatorships and Islamic Countries, “You’re guilty until proven innocent”. That is to say if the person is lucky enough to ever have miraculously the chance to be fairly tried. By all Islamic Countries’ measures and standards, they are all, without exception, guilty of all charges levied against them until proven innocent. The Free World requires from the Islamic Countries more than clichéd conciliatory harangues and precise actions to prove otherwise. While the Islamic Countries dart their charges by the bushel against America and the West, even when America and the West have no hand in whatever happens internally, the Free World, by its high standards, is still giving the Islamic Countries one chance after another to defend themselves, to come clear with their action and intents, to eradicate fanaticism and rid the world of their sponsored terrorism.
The Islamic Countries’ hands are stained with the blood of their subjects and the world, and their deafening silence, together with their open checkbooks and medieval mentality encouraged such atrocities. It was not
America
and the West, who hijacked Islam, or who launched a “Jihad” against Islam. They readily, voluntarily and maliciously allowed, over the last twenty years, a handful of fanatics to hijack their Islam and to oppressively and reprehensively interpret its teachings. So, they have no right now to scream and yell: “wolf”, for “He who conceals a useful truth is equally guilty with the propagator of an injurious falsehood” (
St. Augustine
).
They now scream and yell: “
America
is killing innocent people”, and “
America
is killing the peoples, the children and women of
Afghanistan
and
Iraq
”. On one hand, if it is true and legitimate, what would the Islamic Countries say, after encouraging, blessing and funding the butchering of thousands of innocent Muslims and Non-Muslims, be it Afghans, Iraqi, Egyptians, Moroccans, Americans, British, Spaniards, Italians and Russian among others, who paid with their lives by the sword of Islam deployed in the hands of those who hijacked Islam? What about the thousands of orphans, maimed, handicapped, etc., who left behind? What about the global economical disasters that resulted from these ongoing massacres? And on the other hand, if their claim should hold any water, these innocent people were and are regretfully casualties of a war in a real war zone. Can Muslim Countries claim like Pontius Pilate: “We’re innocent of the blood of those innocent victims”?
A comment by Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, an Imam and secretary general of the Italian Muslim Association in
Rome
:
For reasons he cannot fathom, the world has decided not to think much about the fact that the Sept. 11 terrorists were mostly Saudis. In his view, and I quote: "It is as if people said
Japan
had nothing to do with
Pearl Harbor
. Imagine how the Saudi princes feel. They say to themselves: “we kill thousands of Americans and now they welcome us as men of peace."
