“Verily those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the way of Allah and so they will continue to spend it, but in the end will become an anguish for them. They will be overcome and those disbelievers will be gathered in Hell" [TMQ Al-Anfal: 36].
This verse from the Qur’an puts into context America’s war against Islam under the cover of the ‘war against terror’.
With America beating the drums of war regarding Iraq and wanting to build an opinion for an invasion, it is of vital importance that the Muslims of the world are aware of the reality of America’s intentions and what our response should be.
Despite George Bush’s elaborate attempt to justify an invasion of Iraq in his recent speech at the UN, it should be clear that America and the Western Capitalist nations undertake actions only to further their material interests.
Bush attempted to hide his real intentions under issues such as Iraq’s so called weapons of mass destruction and the possibility of Iraq acquiring nuclear weapons. The entire world knows that America’s interest in Iraq is due to the vast oil resources, known to be one of the world’s largest.
When America and Britain invaded Iraq in the last Gulf War their goal definitely was not the liberation of Kuwait; rather it was a struggle over the petrol interests and spreading their influence. As one of the American Senators said, "We came to correct the mistake of the Lord.” Referring to the fact that Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) placed vast oil resources in the Gulf instead of the West.
Senator Bob Dole spelt this out when he said at the time of the last Gulf War: “We are not going to war to bring back the Amir of Kuwait because that does not deserve a single American life.”
The foreign policy of America, Britain and the Capitalist states has nothing to do with saving the people of Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein or safeguarding the rights of the people, it is purely based on colonisation, which is the economic, political, military and cultural subjugation of people.
America and Britain don’t care for the Muslims of Iraq. 200,000 people were killed in 1991 during the “Desert Storm” campaign headed by the US against Iraq. Since then, sanctions have been responsible for at least one million deaths, including those of children and babies – a direct and tangible result of American foreign policy in the Middle East. When asked about the number of people who have died in Iraq since 1991, Colin Powell could only reply arrogantly, “It’s really not a number I am terribly interested in.”
This pirate-like US attitude was alluded to by Brigadier General William Looney who said in The Washington Post, “They know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we need.”
It is clear that the objective of war against Iraq by America is to replace the Iraqi regime with an Iraqi version of Hamid Karzai, someone who will be a stooge for America allowing it to control the oil resources as well as allowing the US to dominate the region. It is clear that America wants to weaken Iraq, as it knows that any strong nation in the Muslim world could be a threat for it in the future and can be used as base for an Islamic Khilafah state.
The Muslims of Iraq and the world realise that Saddam Hussein is a tyrannical dictator like all the other rulers of the Muslim world, including the self appointed ruler of Pakistan and America’s newfound friend, General Pervaiz Musharraf, King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, Mubarak of Egypt, Bashar of Syria and all the other rulers. I personally experienced the oppression of Saddam when I was imprisoned because of the Islamic Da’wa by his regime; I witnessed how he treats the Muslims.
The Muslims of the world should not remain silent while America prepares to attack Iraq, rather they should work to remove the tyrannical rulers imposed upon her by force who stand by watching while the Muslims are butchered in front of their eyes, they keep silent regarding the violation of the Israeli State to all UN resolutions, and its ownership of all weapons of mass destruction whether nuclear, biological or chemical. They also remain silent over the ownership by the superpowers of massive amounts of all types of weapons of mass destruction. They do not stand in the face of America to prevent her from her hostile stance against Iraq; rather they enable her to set up military bases for her armies in our countries.
The Muslims of Iraq and the rest of the Islamic world must take their affairs into their own hands by re-establishing the Islamic Khilafah state, which will implement the Shari’ah of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) and ensure justice for its citizens like we had for over a thousand years. The Kurds, the Sunni, the Shi’ite are one brotherhood that lived in harmony under the Khilafah. So the solution is not achieved by having a Kurdish state or a state for the Shi’ite in the south or the Sunni state in the middle. The solution is not to call for democracy like the failed Iraqi opposition who seek assistance from the biggest terrorist states, America and Britain.
We have to remove the false borders put there by the colonisers and to unify Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and all others under one leader and one army to stand firm against the enemies of Islam like America, Britain and Israel.
Justice cannot be achieved by removing a tyrant like Saddam and replacing him with an American stooge loyal to the West. Therefore Muslims should not call upon the Western nations and its organs like the UN to resolve their affairs as it is nothing more than an entity based upon the corrupt values of Capitalism. Rather they must make all efforts to further intensify the intellectual and political struggle to liberate themselves from the shackles of colonialism by re-establishing the Khilafah state.
The Muslims of the West must remember that they are part of this global Ummah; the Muslims of Iraq are their brothers and sisters as are the Muslims in the rest of the world. They should never forget this fact and exhaust all efforts to aid the work for this Ummah’s liberation.
