We are living in the midst of perhaps the biggest ever lie heaped on a community despite colossal facts and clear evidences on the contrary. Muslims are being not just recurrently but almost constantly targeted as the perpetrators of violence and hate. The truth on the contrary is that they are the victims not the perpetrators of both violence and hatred. Yet the international media, with all its magical power of producing and propagating falsehood, and nothing but falsehood, finds, almost on daily basis, one way or the other to target the Muslim community and Islam. Poor Muslims, too naive to understand the machinations of the aggressors and too uninformed to know the art of counterattack, and many of them partners of West or local governments in the crimes against Muslims, keep just defending themselves. Since 9/11 the campaign has become too heinous to bear at the global level, and since the installation of Hindutva Government in India, the Indian Muslims are now facing a double assault. The media is now abuzz with stories describing Dr. Zakir Naik as the “King of the Business of Hate” and “the brain behind the radicalisation of Muslims.” This campaign has begun just when the UK released the Chilcot Commission Report clearly telling the world that the invasion of Iraq was planned on false assumptions. Is the debate on Naik aimed at covering up Chilcot? Not only the Indian media has remained totally silent on the findings of the Chilcot Report but the Muslim Media too has failed to grab the opportunity to hit back at the enemies of Islam and Muslims. The report is the most notable and categorical document to prove that it is the radicalisation of West, not that of Muslims, which is the greatest threat to the international peace. But still, the focus of the international media continues to be on “Islamic Radicalism”.
That Muslims are the biggest victims of violence is clear from the following:
First, since 9/11, more than 5 million Muslims, almost all of them innocent, have lost lives due to Western invasions, interventions or machinations. The perpetrators of 9/11 attack perished with the planes and the alleged mastermind was killed in an isolated attack in Pakistan. Al-Qaeda has not killed more than 6000 Westrerners including the less than 3000 in New York. ISIS may have killed tens of thousands in last few years but the majority of them except a few hundred are Muslims. The fact that most of the ISIS fighters are from outside Syria and Iraq and many from Europe and that they have used the weaponry which could not have reached them without the direct or indirect support of the West proves that ISIS is not just the product of West’s violent campaign against Muslims but a deliberate creation to plunge Middle East into civil war fuelled by sectarianism. Even before 9/11, the Muslim World has been the recurrent target of Western bombs and invasioins.
In India, more than 41000 people have died in terrorist related attacks. Out of these, Muslim outfits have ben allegedly responsible for the deaths of no more than 1500, the rest being committed by persons with Hindu names.
Yet, it is Muslims who are always on the defensive. The killers of 5 million reamin the champions of peace and the killers of a few thousand become the “threat”, which needs to be surgically dealt with. Muslims are expected to denounce and condemn every single act of violence committed by a person with a Muslim name, but Christians, Hindus and others are never condemned for the thousand fold violence committed by people bearing Christian or Hindu names.I have repeatedly argued in my articles and books: Let’s condemn every single act of violence whoever the culprit whoever the victim, whatever the motivation behind and wherever the place and let us condemn each country/community in accordance with the magnitude of violence it has caused. But nobody, not even Muslims, seem to listen. Muslim spokesmen appearing in the media are chosen in a way that they do not dominate the debates, and most of these spokesmen are either not well versed about the facts or, for reasons unknown, do not want to say what is true.
Not only violence, the same is true about the campaign of hatred. Just google the Net for the hate material against Muslims or Islam, and the books and articles describing Islam, Quran and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in the ugliest colours will be abundantly found everywhere. Muslims on the other hand never indulge in hatred and vilification of the sacred books and figures of other religions. In fact, Muslims will be found expressing profound reverence for the Bibles, and many scriptures of other religions, Moses, Jesus, even Ram and Krishna.Yet, Muslim preachers are described as the “preachers of hatred”. Now, pressure is being built on Muslims not to even call or consider their religion “best”. Why should we remain Muslim if we do not regard and openly admit our religion as the best? And why should any Hindu, Jew, Christian or Buddhist (or any other ideology) remain what he is if he does not consider his religion/ideology best. While we believe and claim our religion as the best (being the Final Version of the Religion established by God through various scriptures and figures held dear by different communities) we grant the same right to the believers of all religions and ideologies. If they are true believers in their religions/ideologies, they must consider them best; if they don’t, they must try to find out the best. But in no condition, anybody can be allowed to spread hatred against others.
I have always maintained that the real threat to the current world comes not from religion as such or its different versions but from the atheistic, immoral ideologies based on the supremacy of economics and the desire to establish hegemony over the world. Alas, the religious communities, instead of uniting on the basis of the religious morality preached by all of them against the forces of exploitation are busy spreading hatred against one another on the basis of religious identity. If religious morality not the religious identity becomes the basis of our campaigns, the world can be saved not only from the clutches of the daily violence (wars, civil wars, murders, suicides, rapes, indirect violence caused by alcohol, smoking and sex) but also from the clutches of the forces of hegemony and exploitation.
Javed jamil sahaab…..so sensible and so articulate.. and yet so subtle in perfect language….hats off sir….we the muslims look forward to such brilliant person as you….salaam.
The atheistic, immoral ideologies based on the supremacy of economics and the desire to establish hegemony over the world. THIS IDEAOLOGY IS CALLED DICTATORSHIP OF MAJORITY OR DEMOCRACY BY THE PERVERTS,OF THE PERVERTS AND FOR OPPRESSING THE DOWNTRODDEN
Perfect article by Dr.Javed Jamil sb.Hats off. Undenying truth presented by the author in a very articulate manner.
So these Islamphobes condemn the entire Muslim Community for the crimes of a few, and misrepresent Us by only examining our worst elements so much so that they are now sanctioning genocide of Muslims. And they call themselves most peace-loving and rational people. Why such blanket indictments and false generalizations? Why making sweeping judgments about entire Muslim community and urging everybody to kill us? Do they not know the new report about Iraq war? How many they killed? How many they killed in Iraq and Afghanistan? It is millions and millions. Are we Muslim calling to nuke every Christians out? We suffered the most in war than these whites suffered in terrorism.
no body calls killers of other religions by their religion because they dont claim that they are fighting a religious war. even in balochistan, muslims rebel against gov of pakistan but they are never called as islamic terrorists. they are called as rebels or terrorists. those who kill innocents after asking verses of quran, had to answer. religion of peace charade is not going to work any more. kafirs have understood your game & they will handle islam in suitable manner.
ALLAH is sufficient for us !
Very well written.
Dr Javed Jamil is yet another delusional & dishonest Islamic supremacist:
“First, since 9/11, more than 5 million Muslims, almost all of them innocent, have lost lives due to Western invasions, interventions or machinations.”
Complete and utter BS figure. Just pulled out of thin air…
“In India, more than 41000 people have died in terrorist related attacks. Out of these, Muslim outfits have ben allegedly responsible for the deaths of no more than 1500, the rest being committed by persons with Hindu names.”
Another BS figure. Ignoring completely the ~80 million Hindus killed during the Islamic invasion of India:
“Koenard Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the total jihad against India. [Koenard Elst, Negationism in India, Voice of India, New Delhi, 2002, pg. 34.] The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the “funeral pyre of the Hindus.”
80 million Hindus”
keep-you, you are yet another bullshit Hindu propagandist producing complete and utter BS figure. For most of the times in the history before the arrival of Muslims, Bharat was no Bharat with numerous small independent states fighting incessantly with one another. Muslims made Bharat and Britishers, with the conspiracy of certain Hindus, divided it because these Hindus like you feared Muslim domination in an unpartitioned India.
As far as the figures given by Dr. Javed Jamil are concerned, google Iraq war casualties, and you can easily find fingures betweeb 1 and 2 million deaths due to wars and 3-5 million in all due to direct and indirect consequences.
Go and study the PSR report. The Washington DC-based Physicians for Social Responsibility (PRS) released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the 9/11 attacks is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as 2 million.The 97-page report by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning doctors’ group is the first to tally up the total number of civilian casualties from US-led counter-terrorism interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In another report by PLOS Medicine journal survey, led by public health expert Amy Hagopian of the University of Washington in Seattle, an international research team polled heads of households and siblings across Iraq. Hagopian said that People need to know the cost in human lives of the decision to go to war.The survey responses point to around 405,000 deaths attributable to the war and occupation in Iraq from 2003 to 2011. At least another 56,000 deaths should be added to that total from households forced to flee Iraq, the study authors estimate. More than 60 percent of the excess deaths of men, women, and children reported from 2003 to 2011 were the direct result of shootings, bombings, airstrikes, or other violence, according to the study. The rest came indirectly, from stress-related heart attacks or ruined sanitation and hospitals.Also read the study of General Tommy Franks.
Before ranting Go and study You Nut!
Now coming to India’s issue. Yes Javed Jamil is absolutely right. You better go and study more. There’s an article in Scroll.in read it.
Now coming to Hindu Kush issue. Where from Mr.Elst got teh evidence of 80 million hindus were killed? What was his source? Was His RSS and VHP’s distorted history books?
If you are sincere truth seeker Go and study Encyclopedia Britannica.The name Hindu Kush first appears in 1333 AD in the writings of Ibn Battutah.He never alleged that the name Hindu Kush means ‘Hindu Killer or Slaughter’ but rather, he affirmed that it means ‘Mountains of India’.The region was also called Caucasus Indicus in the ancient times. Before the advent of the Muslim era, it was also referred as Kush in a sixth-century early Talmudic tractate. In the Pashto language of Afghanistan, it is called “Hindu Koh” which means ‘Mount India’. Liberal historian, Radhika Singha, who said:”…The right-wing are prepared to go to any lengths to control and manipulate the writing of history.”
