Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:37:19 +0000 http://www.mujahideenryder.net/?p=2928#comment-169704 Why the diplomatic antipathy towards our brothers and sisters in China? The same reason why so many "Muslim" countries are silent about the atrocities committed against our brothers and sisters in Chechnya, Dagestan, and Ingushetia by the Russian government and their local collaborationist thugs. The same reason why so many "Muslim" countries failed to support Kosovo while it was being brutalized by the Serbs and then fail to currently recognize its hard-earned independence . The same reason why the Muslims of India were denied the right to be full members of the OIC and the same voices who willfully ignored the genocide committed against the population of then-East Pakistan, the Kurdish people of Turkey and Iraq, or against the people of Darfur today simply because the perpetrators themselves are fellow "brothers." It seems that on the global stage, there are at least two forces at play. Petty selfish economic and geo-political secular interests of various nations as well as a blind, simplistic, and fallacious sense of "Muslim unity at any cost" seem to continue to triumph over any humanitarian or otherwise genuine concerns over the well-being of ALL members of our ummah. Likewise, I believe a level of ignorance also plays a fundamental role in cementing some of this antipathy on a societal level. I mean everybody and their mother knows about the plight of our long-suffering brothers and sisters in Palestine (and rightly so), but how many display that same level of concern for the muslimeen of Kashmir, Thailand, the Philliphines, and Burma (who are among the most oppressed people in that troubled nation, and on earth)? How many even know about the horrors of Partition or what our brothers and sisters had to endure in Gujarat (which happened relatively recently in 2002)? I believe these are the root causes of our antipathy towards one another. Insha'Allah it will only take a period of intense reflection and enlightenment so that we can all establish our priorities and have a genuine ummah which is capable of addressing ALL of these concerns.

I consider those who practice Islam "wholly" do not include the likes of the Taliban. Why? B/C the Taliban kill innocents, burn down boy + girl schools (a right supported by the Ulema), and conduct suicide attacks (Unislamic, at least). While I am no fan of the corrupt Pakistani govt. and total secularism, it is fighting the a greater evil:the barbaric Taliban. To Sadia and Al-Suyuufi:

I hope that people help all Muslims, and not just Palestine. Because it seems like everyone puts the most attention on Palestine. What about uighar? Kashmir? Afghanistan? Somalia? Sudan? Africa in general. Everyone matters and it's time everyone starts to care. All their blood is the same as Palestinian blood. Were all Muslims here. Peace I hope they aren’t.

The arab states are silent because most most arabs only care about palestine. Same thing happened during the gujarat riots. Arabs please tell me this aint true.
