Radical Islam's 'End-Game'
I thought about that statement as I
read the news coming out of the Gaza Strip. As Hamas and al-Fatah
literally battle to the death for supremacy in their region, it is crucial that
we take the time - right now - to understand what it is they're fighting about.
The truth is our lives depend on it.
To look at the situations in Iraq and Gaza as separate conflicts is to view them
in a naive and overly simplistic way. True, the battles taking place in Gaza are
more akin to a civil war, if in fact a civil war can take place without a
recognized country to govern. And the battles taking place in Iraq are almost
completely instigated at the hands of al Qaeda terrorists
hell-bent on creating chaos with violence while destroying any chance of
democracy in that nation. But what the less visionary among us are deficient in
understanding and neglectful or deceitful in not addressing is the reason they
are fighting, their goal, their end-game.
Many anti-war activists and members of the American Fifth Column insist that the
reason radical Islamist terrorists -- insurgents or militants as
they like to call them -- have taken to jihad against the United States and the
West is because of the encroachment of our culture into the 7th Century Middle
Eastern culture in which they exist. They point to Osama bin
Laden's 1996 fatwa against the US and the West citing the
presence of Western military personnel and installations as the catalyst for al
Qaeda's Islamofascist aggression.
While these points may very well be the justification used by the cadre of
terrorist organizations originating throughout the Middle East for attacks
against the West, it doesn't explain their propensity for Arab on Arab, Muslim
on Muslim violence. It doesn't explain the original catalyst for the conflict
between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims and it certainly doesn't address the
Islamofascists' goals.
The specifics surrounding the original cause for conflict between Sunni and
Shi'ite Muslims are disputed by both camps. But both factions concede that it
stems from a disagreement over the direct succession to Mohammed, to the Caliph.
This subject requires more space than can be afforded here. What can be
addressed here is the "end-game."
That Islamofascist aggression advanced through the use of
terrorism is taking place around the world against members of every faith other
than Islam is a testimony to the fact that radical fundamentalist
Islamists are engaged in an intentional conflict of global conquest.
Terrorist attacks in the name of Islam have taken place in Israel, Iraq,
Lebanon, Spain, Britain, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Somalia, Algeria,
Sudan, South America and the United States - to cite a short list - against,
Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and even conformist and non-fundamentalist
Islamists.
When one examines the facts and logistics of Islamofascist
aggression - both in history and modern times - it is hard to argue that the
basis for this aggression is Western influence on the Islamic culture. If this
were the sole reason for Islamofascist aggression there would be
no excuse for attacks in the name of Islam on the Hindus or Buddhists or in any
nation that doesn't embrace Western values such as Thailand, Somalia or most of
Indonesia. Yet, the slaughter of innocents in the name of Islam does take place
against these people and in these non-Westernized regions.
By acknowledging these facts - and they are indisputable - we can dismiss the
argument that the US and the West have brought the wrath of
Islamofascism upon ourselves, which is the basis for the argument used by
the anti-war movement, the American Fifth Column and disingenuous and
opportunistic politicians.
What, then, is the catalyst for Islamofascist aggression and
what could be so powerful as to produce legions of suicide bombers and those
willing to die, without reservation, for their cause?
While the many elements of this subject are complex, together they indicate an
overall agenda that is not.
In almost every declaration and action of the Islamofascist,
from Osama bin Laden to Hassan
Nasrallah, Ayman al Zawahri to
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the goal is the same: the successful
establishment of a global Islamic state - or caliphate - ruled under
sharia law. This notion is not a supposition on my part. Rather, it is an
accurate observation, based on understanding and acknowledging the actions taken
and the words used by each of these fascist leaders (note the correct usage of
the word fascist).
In his 1996 fatwa, Osama bin Laden proclaimed,
"...O you horses (soldiers) of Allah ride and march on. This is the time of
hardship so be tough. And know that your gathering and co-operation in order to
liberate the sanctities of Islam is the right step toward unifying the word of
the Ummah under the banner of 'No God but Allah'...Our Lord,
shatter their gathering, divide them among themselves, shaken the earth under
their feet and give us control over them..."
It should be noted that to bin Laden, the Ummah is considered a
figurative nation comprised of all Muslims and all Islamic nations.
In 2000 bin Laden declared, "...Afghanistan is the only country in the world
that has the Shari'ah. Therefore, it is compulsory upon Muslims
all over the world to help Afghanistan. And to make hijra to
this land, because it is from this land that we will dispatch our armies to
smash all kuffar all over the world."
In October of 2005, during his address to the United Nations, Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "From the beginning of
time, humanity has longed for the day when justice, peace, equality and
compassion envelop the world."
And in a speech to Friday prayer leaders he said, "Our revolution's main mission
is to pave the way for the reappearance of the 12th Imam, the
Mahdi."
It should be noted here that Ahmadinejad believes - as do most
Shi'ites - that the 12th Imam (or Muhammad al-Mahdi),
according to their interpretation of the Quran, will bring
"peace and justice on earth" by establishing Islam throughout the world. This
equivalent of the "second coming" would take place when the world has fallen
into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason.
If we are to take the leaders of the Islamofascist movement at
their word - and the leaders of the United States and the West have been
delinquent in accepting the declarations of fascists in the past, so much so
that world war has ensued - we can only surmise that the battles taking place
between Sunni and Shi'ite factions in Iraq, Gaza and elsewhere in the world are
for dominance in what they perceive as an inevitable global Islamic Caliphate.
It is crucial that the United States government - and all the governments of the
West - dispense with the political infighting that currently holds hostage
national unity and the collective will, so we can defend ourselves from the
inevitable full-scale confrontation with an emboldened and strengthening
Islamofascist movement. The first step to achieving this unity
is an honest, comprehensive understanding of the enemy. The education to achieve
that end must begin immediately.
Make no mistake. We are essentially re-visiting the ominous days of 1938. It
took everything that the freedom loving people of the world could muster to
vanquish evil then. This time we may not be so lucky. This time the forces of
evil will have nuclear capability.
