What ails Arab and Islamic World? Arab League (AL) is formed to solve the disputes occurring among the Arab nations but still Arabs are fighting among themselves and killing themselves in a big number. Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) was formed to protect the interest of Muslim countries and to solve the disputes happening among the member nations but still the disputes occur and because of which Muslims are killing Muslims only. While Arabs are killing Arabs and Muslims are killing Muslims, Israel is enjoying because this is what Israel wants.
It is sickening to see in Syria, Assad forces are killing his own Syrians in thousands since last two years and moreover, a few days back Assad used Chemical weapons against his own people killing and maiming thousands. Assad's tirade against his opponents is unstoppable. He blames the opposition forces in Syria for using those Chemical weapons. If it is true then what type of government he is running where there is no government control over the activities of his people whether from his own supporters or opponents?
If he has no power to control the ill deeds of his people then he has no right to lead his nation. Just blaming opposition forces for using chemical weapons without evidence is not enough. And it is a shame on him as a President of the nation to allow opposition a free hand to play such a mischief.
Hitler used biological weapons against Jews, Saddam Hussein against his own citizens Kurds and now Syrian President Assad used Chemical weapons against his own people. How cruel Assad is to use such deadly and poisonous gas to maim and kill his own people including the angels like infant babies!! Where is Arab League gone now? Where is its authority now? Where is IOC gone now and where is its religious authority and principles gone now? To kill people thus is permissible in Islam?
America is an evil but necessary evil and without America’s involvement world order will collapse. Because of America, till today world is surviving though America is evil, it is evil for some but surely not for all.
In their 8 year war, both the warring countries Iraq and Iran lost over a million people and who were these souls? They were Arabs and Muslims. When every person and every organization failed to stop this war, finally interested parties openly and clandestinely begged with America to try to stop this war and then only this war came to an end. Thus came an end to the further deaths of Arabs and Muslims from Iraq and Iran thru the intervention of America.
Then another tragedy befell on Arabs and Muslims in this region when one Arab Muslim country Iraq invaded its peace loving Arab Muslim neighbour Kuwait. Again Iraq defied Arab League and OIC and against their principles swallowed Kuwait thus forcing BBC in its early morning bulletin on 2nd August 1990 to ask a loud and clear question:
“Where is Arab League gone? Where is OIC gone? Where is GCC gone?”
They gone nowhere, they were all there only where they were but they became impotent to stop the mighty power of Iraq. Though they became impotent yet even after 24 hours of the invasion of Kuwait, in its communique released following an emergency meeting of AL held to decide on the action to be taken to free Kuwait from Iraqi invasion, AL said:
“Invasion of Kuwait by Iraq is an Arab problem and as such it will be solved under the Umbrella of Arab League only”.
What Arab League is and what problem it will solve? It cannot solve the problems of this magnitude because it has no capacity to solve such problems.
Finally America alone had to come forward with its team of powerful nations, mainly UK and France to liberate Arab Muslim country Kuwait illegally invaded by another Arab Muslim country Iraq. And mind you, please take note that this conflict between two Arab Muslim nations was solved by the Western Christian nations under the leadership of Christian USA.
Now coming back to Syrian conflict where Assad regime is committing genocide against his own people even by attacking them with Chemical weapons, all are now begging with America to come forward and teach a very good lesson to Assad and his regime. Arabs are begging America, Muslims are begging America, Asians are begging America and even Westerners are also begging America to come forward with its mighty Military power to put an end to Assad’s madness. But will America act now decisively?
At the time of writing this piece, UK and Germany backed off from joining hands with USA to strike at Assad even though America has stationed all its war arsenals in readiness to go for the kill with the full support of one more Veto Power France. The other two Veto Powers Russia and China are blindly supporting Assad. Both these Communist Powers are shameless because they are both shamelessly watching Assad forces committing genocide on his own citizens.
Both these nations are not worthy to wield Veto power because they are misusing it. Even during the crucial vote in the UN, both these Communist countries abstained from voting for the motion to give the go ahead for war to liberate Kuwait. By abstaining from voting both these Communists brothers showed their inclination towards Saddam Hussein and his illegal invasion of Kuwait. Both are traitors.
Both Russia and China are against American strike at Syria to solve this Syrian problem but while opposing American strike, why they cannot come forward and stop Assad from killing his own citizens in such a brutal manner? It looks brute nation Syria under its brute President Assad is supported by the other two brute nations while the third Iran has no value.
