Are You suprised ?Subject: An Arab Voice
Read below the Statement issues by more than 700 Arabs and Muslims .
STATEMENT ON AMERICAN THREATS TO THE REGION
After the 11th September attack, the American administration and Zionist
forces have frequently targeted Islam and the Muslim world. The policymakers
are propagating new forms of imperialism, in order to dominate over a number
of Muslim countries. Supported by the media-directed propaganda, and new
laws enforced by the authorities, they try to legitimize using military
force, marching armies against Muslims, imposing political and economic
blockade over them and disgracing and defaming Muslims as terrorists or
supporters of terrorism.
What is happening in Afghanistan and Palestine, the targeting of Iraq and
Sudan and their intention to divide some of Muslim countries are only just
signs of America's hidden and wicked strategies towards Muslim countries.
The recent vicious campaign of the US media, supported by the Zionists and
fanatic Christian forces, against Islam, the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and the
religious curriculum as well as the Islamic charity associations and
organizations, is part of that attack being led by the US administration and
its allies.
While writing this statement, we are facing the latest part of the American
administration's policy - the destruction of Iraq and the threats to the
security of the whole region, using all possible means. The USA is trying to
find an excuse by using the UN to pass a favorable decision. There current
plot against Iraq and their intentions to occupy it in order to utilize its
resources will be the first step of a similar chain. Though we know very
well the fact that the Iraqi government and what it has done with its people
and other nations of the region. But still, this does not legitimize the
American aggression and unjust attack on Iraq.
The American administration's insistence on using its forces to attack the
countries of the Arab region reminds us of the Crusades, and the era of
imperialism. At that time, the imperialist armies killed innocent people,
humiliated them, created disaster in Asia and Africa and looted the
resources. Jihad and lawful resistance movements emerged in that era and
triumphed over the invaders. Likewise, any attempt of aggression on the
Muslim Ummah or its humiliation will certainly open the doors of Jihad and
lawful resistance that will drive out the Zionist and Crusader forces of
evil by the will of God.
By attacking Iraq and disturbing peace and stability in the Arab world, the
American administration intends to destroy the identity of the Muslim Ummah
and spread American culture, capture its petroleum and other resources,
conceal its failure in achieving its goals in Afghanistan and keep the
nations of this region busy with more troubles and tension, thereby
preventing them from developing their countries. Their intentions also
include safeguarding Israel, ensuring its superiority over all countries of
the region and crush the blessed Intifada, which has disturbed the security
of Israel and shaken its economy.
The Muslim governments and people must realize the unexpected danger, which
threatens them, and they must prepare themselves materially and
psychologically to face it.
We, the signatories of this statement, in view of this barbaric aggression,
make this appeal with our utmost sincerity and love for Ummah to:
A. The
Governments:
The dangers of the American interference not only threaten the independence
of the political will of the Arab countries but also their existence and
push the region into a state of chaos that will lead to foreign forces to
interfering and crushing the unity of the Muslim Ummah and its ability to
resist.
The extremist policy of the American administration is aimed at breaking up
the unity of the region and widening the gap of disagreement between the
people and their rulers, by pressurizing some governments to change their
curriculum, close the religious institutions and tighten the grip on the
Islamic charity associations and organizations and adopt the secular model
which contradicts with the moral values of our people. This will lead to
clashes between the Muslim masses and their governments. To avoid this
danger, we put before all Arab and Muslim governments the following
suggestions because these threats are, without any doubt or exaggeration, a
real danger:
1. We ask all Muslim and Arab governments to implement the Shar'iah and
establish reconciliation with their people. This will create the spirit of
confidence among them and inculcate the basic principle of mutual
consultation and respect other opinions and it will deepen their affiliation
to the country and its people and remove the deficiencies and differences,
because the American foreign threat never get its way but through these gaps
or through those selected puppets who follow American policy and implement
its objectives.
It is the time that the nations of the region see a real policy of their
governments in which the interests of the Muslim Ummah and their countries
are above all other considerations. The security of these governments cannot
be attained by following in the footsteps of an alien power and agreeing to
its demands. But the only way, after trust in Allah, is to re-conciliate
with their people and fulfill their aspirations to achieve unity and harmony
amongst the Muslim Ummah by implementing the teaching of the holy Qur'an:
"Verily, Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as
they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves".
2. We also ask Arab and Muslim countries to reject strongly the unjust
American interference under any cover whatever it may be, through a united
and firm stand. They should also not allow the American administration to
benefit from our differences and disputes. It is very clear that a strike
against Iraq is the first step in a series of attacks on many Muslim
countries in general and on the countries of the region in particular or it
will be new type of a total colonization that will ruin their cultural,
military and economic interests and development plans. Supporting American
aggression and fulfilling its demands or standing neutral towards its
aggression will only lead to more demands and conditions from it to oppress
these countries. We remind our leaders and governments of Prophet's (pbuh)
Hadith:
"Not a Muslim abandons his fellow Muslim in a situation where sanctity is
abused and dignity is decreased but surely Allah will leave him in a similar
situation he would like to be helped. And when a Muslim assists a fellow
Muslim in a place where his dignity is ruined and his sanctity is abused
Allah will surely come to his help in a situation he would like to be
helped".
3. We appeal to the governments to put aside their differences, conflicts
and contradictions, which their enemies wish to plant among the countries of
the region and their people. All of them must work towards attaining
self-confidence, establishing institutions, finding out the different
sources of income, developing social and economic relations among them and
thinking over the requirements of construction, development and trying to
develop individuals and strong and cohesive societies.
4. We also appeal to the governments to work towards establishing serious
common relations with other powers of the world excluding the USA, to keep
the region away from American domination. There are opportunities to
strengthen the political and economic cooperation with the countries of East
Asia and few European countries. This will help us achieve our interests in
a better way.
II. The People:
The people, in spite of their passiveness, weakness and division, cannot be
excused. They are in some way responsible for their miseries and what is
going on around them, though, by the grace of Allah, we do witness some kind
of revival and awakening. But a lot of things are expected from them. The
most important ones are:
1. They should return sincerely to Allah, follow His commandments and seek
His forgiveness from all individual and collective sins as Allah says:
"When our torment reached them, why then did they not humble themselves."
2. To have firm faith that Allah will surely help His true believes. Allah
says: Verily, Our word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the messengers
that they would be made triumphant. And that Our hosts, they verily would be
the victors.
3. They must unite, discard their differences, work for the interests of
Ummah, and protect the unity of the country, which safeguards the sanctity
and provides peace and where the Shar'iah is implemented and Muslim
interests are saved. Unity and cooperation are blessings and conflict and
separation are a curse. Allah says:
"And do not dispute (with one other) lest you lose courage and your strength
departs, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are the patient".
It is a fact that the division of Ummah into many sects and groups
facilitates the enemy to use one group against other.
4. It is hoped that the Muslim youth will be sincere in their life and
always prefer the interests of Muslim Ummah, protect the peace and unity of
the country and keep themselves away from any violence. Our enemies are just
waiting for any such opportunity in our ranks. So, we must be careful. But
our stress on avoiding violence does not deny the right of Muslim people to
fight against their enemies.
III. Muslim Ulema, Du'at and Scholars:
In fact, the ulema, du'at and scholars are those people who guide the Muslim
Ummah during the crisis and show them the truth. Their absence from events
means the absence of the truth they have with them and the absence of wisdom
and reason. Their duty towards this crisis is the following:
1. To preach among the Muslim Ummah the concept of moderation, mediation and
forbearance based on a true understanding of the message of Islam, to teach
them about undisputed principles and areas of differences so that one group
does not do injustice to the other.
2. To perform their Islamic duty of guiding the Muslim Ummah about their
religion and informing them about the conspiracies being hatched against
them as well as to carry out the duty of true admonishment and defend the
Muslim cause.
3. To give Islamic solutions to the new problems and issues being faced by
the Muslim Ummah in the light of the Shar'iah.
IV. Supporters of the Justice and the Peace Lovers:
We urge all peace loving individuals, organizations, institutions and human
rights organizations and supporters of justice and truth all over the world
to express their protest with all possible means of expression over the
American government's policy, which leads the world to conflicts that are
dangerous for world peace and harmony and reject this policy which is aimed
at spreading destruction in the world. We appeal particularly to the
supporters of justice, lovers of peace and opponents of war, whether they
are individuals or organizations, in the US, to stand firmly against the
extremist and terrorist groups of the far right and the supporters of
Zionist terrorism inside the US administration.
We pray to Allah to protect the Muslim Ummah, help them against their
enemies and preserve their religion and sustain peace for them. Peace be
upon the Prophet Muhammad and his companions.
