Redefining concepts.

[Mostafa]

 

Dear all, peace be with you. I had to regain my trenchancy and thus, I keenly thought of posting this. As I scrutinized earlier in the serene wounds post, everything in this world is typically identified by the media. Consequently, it’s mandatory to consideringly delimitate some commonly misrepresented concepts. In the section below, I would like to publicize some redefined concepts. I will start out with the most controversial concepts, which are flexible to be defined in multiple ways.   

 

This is not a monologue. It’s quite natural to agree or disagree. You may or may not agree with my definitions. My definitions are primarily based on my own views, and they particularly don’t exceed to a further degree.

 

       I would like to commence this with a list of terms which are frequently used in popular reports of news bulletins. The first term which often appears in the news is the word terrorism.

 

As I have defined this before, terrorism is the practice of aggression or the usage of jeopardy  to either manipulate  or threaten civil minorities for either political, religious or ideological aims.

 

Violence is a generic term which signifies the usage of hostile disposal to dominate a civil minority. Democracy is the social doctrine which recognizes the  numerical majority of an organized group  making decisions binding on the whole group. Freedom is the stipulation to act, speak or think without being subjected to restraints or minatory.   Humanrights is any basic right, civil principle or the freedom to which all human beings are entitled and in whose exercise a government may not interfere, including rights to life, liberty as well as  freedom of expression, and the total equality before the law. Desecration is the disgraceful act of viciously depriving something of its sacred character. Radicalism is the political orientation of those who favor revolutionary change in government and society. Extremism is any political theory which favors immoderate or uncompromising policies. Fanaticism is the total intolerance of opposing views and it’s the centerline of pride. Islam is the generic term collectively for the monotheistic faith which is based on the divine teachings as they are laid down in the Noble Koran and the  Sunna. Islamophobia is the deliberate use of prejudice and bigotry to fallaciously terrify people about Islam or its teachings. Equality is the quality of being the same in either quantity, measure, value or status. Citizenship is the recognition of in individual and conducting his status in the state for both his rights and duties.   Tolerance is the capacity of an organism to bear in respect unfavourable environmental conditions. Interfaith Dialog is the involvement of major religious figures from different faiths to scholarly scrutinize religiously related pursuits, including that of mutual recognition or dissension. Shariah is the generic term collectively for the legal system which consists of statutes which are based on and derived from the divine verdicts of the Noble Koran and the Sunna. Atheism is the doctrine or belief that there is no God. Agnosticism is the philosophical orientation of the constant doubt, a controversial opinion, a dispute over the ultimate existence of a deity. Fundamentalism is the unknowledgeable interpretation of a sacred text. Secularism is the doctrine which rejects religious considerations, it regards it as backwardness and against modernism.          Modernity is the quality of being current or at the present, to be constantly developed and sophisticated. Counterterrorism is the developed strategy which is implemented to defy or counter terrorism. It’s thought to be embraced in the west whilst at the same time, its credibility is controversially debated.

 

In the section below, I will assume some questions and I will answer them. So inshallah,  here we go. Who is your first enemy in the west? My first and my only enemy in the west are Christian Zionists. This cult highjacked Christianity and they resemble a major threat to the world, just as the same as Muslim extremists do. Most people though haven’t heard pretty much about Christian Zionists. It’s often Islamic extremism which they talk about in the news. John Nelson Darby is essentially the founder and the prime innovator of this corrupted denomination. You may have a look on Google about him and his controversial Bible. Christian Zionism has primarily been popularized in the United States. There are many Churches in the United States which have either willingly been adopting or they have fforcefully been compeled to embrace this politically orientated ideology. I know some pastors who have thought of this political theory to be justified theologically. There are many pastors who are Zionists just as  Benjamin Netanyahu if not even more. They are okay with Israeli soldiers to brudally murder civilian palestinians. They are okay with the dreadful atrocities which are committed on a daily basis in the name of the divine. They are enormously supportive of this vicious cult. Those pastors are in the same boat of favorably commending Zionism. They are the ones who dominantly manipulate the war industrialize  complex in Washington. They are in a constantly hostile disposition with our culture and perspective. It’s not because of our faith or race. It’s rather because of their embracement to this malign based ideology. I am not in a total opposition with the west though. I am just reporting a fact. I am revealing my only enemy in the western world. Who do you consider your friend in the west? Well, everyone who has no interest in opposing me. I am not talking of opposing here as to have a different view or opinion. It’s quite natural to disagree. What I mean is to rather adopt or be abided by a hostile disposal which is usually based on a political ideology. What do you think of what happened in France? Emphatically, what occurred in France is a grave savage act of terror. I will never attempt to give it another name. But at the same time, despite of the western fraudulent proclamation about being the primary humanrights carer globally, it’s conspicuously notorious that the war in Afghanistan  has failed and the nuclear  weapons of Iraq was the biggest lie in American presidential history. When a human being is killed in Paris, London or New York, it’s made a worldwide drama, a global tragedy. But when civilian palestinians are savagely targeted on a daily basis, when innocent children die in refuge camps on the Turkish Syrian borders, they die out of freezing due to the harsh winter now, no one bothers himself to even think about them. What a hypocritical state. How scandalous and notorious this false humanrights proclamation is. Those seventeen people who died in Paris last week are considered to be Creme de la crème. But those who die on a daily basis in Palestine, Iraq or Syria are not even to be mentioned. President Sadat may Allah mercy's be on him recognized this fact awhile ago. But unfortunately, our present leaders failed to learn. This travesty has to stop. The western world is deliberately practicing injustice toward us. They basically denigrate us. The western world claims to believe in the values of equality, justice and social mutuality without making a race based distinction.  These sentiments are expected to signify a positive reflection. I just can’t see this reciprocal  relation they constantly proclaim. In the west, there are those who arrogantly like to think of themselves as being superior to us without a sufficiently consistent discretion. Bush said once in a presidential debate with John Kerry that September eleventh has changed the manner how America should look to the world. This statement signifies something to me. The United Nations hasn’t yet been prosperous in reconciling  a one single conflict in the world since it was first established in 1945. At the current phase, the United Nations is settled to only protect and support major capitalists  in the world, and they are of course led by the United States. What is the basic criteria  for the western world to determine humanrights equality? Well, it’s essentially the skin color, the language, or perhaps a mutual political interest. The global leadership has to truly be substituted. The western coalition  is never meant for settling humanrights principles. It’s merely for greed, military occupation, oil thievery, and cultural dominance. It’s the black gold unfavorable combat. For me as a Muslim, the life of someone called Muhammad is precious as just the life of someone called Peter. Everybody matters, freedom is for all, it’s not unilateral. For me, the country or the skin color doesn’t make someone superior to or lower than others. Islam doesn’t pursue for strengthening racial based values. Islam fights against racial discrimination. I am stridently sobar about the fact of the western leadership to have predominantly been subjected to a tremendous bankruptcy. I appositely propose to the western world to instantly relinquish their leadership position because their incompetency to cope with the task has basically been substantiated. The war on terror is in fact a war for terror. The world is constantly deteriorating because of this unprecedentedly military invasion. I will never tolerate anyone who attempts to deliberately derogate my entity or to diminish my identity, that’s basically intolerable. It’s always said to us; The west is much safer than your part of the world. Well, these unpleasant incidents prove the perfect unreliability of this inadequate proclamation. The western coalition  has to unfeignedly reconsider its strategy in our region and in the whole world. The west has constantly condemned Iran and North Korea for their critical efforts to seek for nuclear development, but they deliberately despite the decisive evidence of the nuclear  weaponry which Israel possesses. That's just another proof which signifies the western hollowness and their policy of double standard. I can go on and on to describe how deceitful the western authority really is. But I don’t want to sound like a synic. There are still many positive aspects of the western civilization. The west is quite sophisticated in advancing for scientific discovery. We have a grave shortage on that part. I emphasize again, my criticism is meant to be positive and constructive. As human beings, we have a numerous list of mutual pursuits. On the top of that is our mutual interest to pursue for a safer world in either Cairo, Paris or New York. I myself, I obviously have a role to be devoted to. As a Muslim theologian, imam and educator, I am commited to teach my laymen people  the moderate discernment of Islam. Islam is never taught by newsmen, Terry Jones or politicians. There are specialists and experts on the field. It’s the field of Islamic scholarship. It’s the scholarship of recognizing the difference between the edified discernment of Islam versus the nescient approach. If you read a textbook on medicine without a proper education at a notable school, does that make you qualified to practice medical care? Well, how about those who inadvertently go to Islamic references, they incompetently review them, they unfortunately misinterpret their significance and that’s the major cause for religious extremism to rapidly escalate. Islam is not what they promote in the western media. I really hope they respect the theological scholarship the way they do with terrestrial disciplines. Some people obliviously promote that Islam is opposed to contemporaneity. Well, this sophistry has to intensely be declined. That’s my fete to refute these absurd misconceptions. Islamic civilization in Europe was the primary producer of Algebra. Who is Ibn al-Haytham? Ibn al-Haytham is a Muslim polymath  who was born in Iraq. He is a multi-scholar of both Mathematics and Physics. He is the one whose researched in geometry and optics. He  was influential into the 17th century, he established experimentation as the norm of proof in physics and he died in Egypt in 1040. Muslims scholarship was the seed and the soil for the European western civilization to grow. It’s now our fault to step backward because we abandoned the intellectual development and thus, our advancement as a nation has been suspended. We should attempt to regain our worthy position as a nation. We will never be esteemed the way we wish unless we stop consuming and to rather replace this with producing. We always wish to be regarded and respected. This will never happen in a day and night. We lived for more than 200 years in backwardness, impuissance and bumpkinly. Our aspiration is to courageously rise up again. That will never occur unless we basically seek for a true independence. As long as they feed us, we have no right to even think of ennobling ourselves. Islam is quite settled intellectually and in terms of its legal system. You have to thoroughly be edified about the principles of Islamic Jurisprudence. It’s one of the profoundly critical majors in Islamic Theology and it’s eminently prestigious in top worldwide universities.  It consists of multiple opinions which are based on various discernments of the very same text. These discernments are the primary cause of Muslim jurists to derive different verdicts which are based on either grammatical, rhetorical or even philosophical variation. In a country as the United States where Islamic Shariah is often subjected to enormous prejudice, there are many academic departments where they highly regard the major of Islamic Shariah and its affiliated branches. There are many biased voices which ignominiously  and obliviously are calling for the ban of Shariah. Well amongst those controversially self-appointed proponents is pastor Terry Jones who founded this preposterous website which he stupidly calls stand up America now. It’s basically a politically orientated faction. Terry Jones deliberately incites hatred by his self-proclaimation of being the guardian of american liberty. He is basically a fraudster and a grave prevaricator. Well fortunately though, I was able to obtain the direct contact of his website. The subsequent lines are intended to address Terry Jones and his apprentices. Listen hellions, I am quite aware of the vicious mission you are attempting to accomplish. I am quite aware about the political agenda you are motivated with. Terry Jones, they  call you DR., sir. Well I admit it, you are the top worldwide professor of hate incitement rhetoric. I am sure you are quite aware of who exactly you are. You constantly proclaim to be the care giver and the warner about the threats of radical Islam. I will inshallah spiflicate your blackguardly malicious website, and I will unfalteringly  bring you to a just trial for being the master of religious bigotry in the twenty first century. American people are not interested in your detestable dogmatism. There is a vast difference between freedom of religion and religious desecration. Your hateful acts undermined your fraudulent proclamation of being a positive advocate. Can a radical be possibly against himself? I know quite well that you will continue to assault us out of envy and malice. Your wicked objectives are crystal clear. I will inshallah continue to defy your aggression and hostile disposition. I will do so with the firm allegiance to my faith and with my adherence to the principles of courage to unhesitatingly opine.  These words were specifically meant for Terry Jones and his followers. And now, I am back again to my dearly respectful friends. We all are keen to optimally implement the doctrines of coexistence, pluralism and multiculturalism. As I said at the beginning, it’s quite natural to disagree. I never expected us to agree on everything. Colin and me are quite good friends. Colin is a nice and a well educated friend from the UK. I occasionally communicate with him on the list of New College Worcester Former Students Association. Well, before I proceed, I must fairly express my words of gratitude to MR. Terry Robinson,  the owner and the moderator of the New College Worcester Former Students Association. I sincerely thank the gentleman for approving me to speak my mind on his list. This basically signifies the culture of tolerance and deference. As I articulated at its inception, this is not a                               monologue, but it’s rather a dialog. I am here attempting to have a mutual dialog with the western culture. This has to  be conducted with intercultural communication, integration and a mutual dialog of exchanging opinions on different subjects. These opinions will vary but they will have a centerline of objectivity. I am quite supportive of the phenomenon which encourages the positively motivating factor to have a constant dialog with members of various cultures and traditions. These dialogs are intended to substantially enhance the values of integrity, intercommunication and mutualism. I am seriously concerned about the destiny of the human species. According to the Noble Koran, Allah made us for a notable purpose, a noble mission. We are anointed to be the ddeputy  of Allah on earth. This entitlement has meant to be for a permanent basis. The test has already been given previously in the garden of delight. Lucifer hated Adam and that’s why he attempts to lead us astray. One of his quite common methods though is to incite and promt the motivation of evil. It’s quite satisfying to the devil to see the human race in a constant conflict, hostility, misery, distortion and agony. He loves to see us sorrowed and anguished. That makes him so pleased. As human beings, we have to distinctly recognize our enemy, the chief of evil and our infinite adversary. We should fight against him instead of fighting against each other. As intellectual members of the human species, we should recognize this decisive fact. The Noble Koran in many occasions describe the devil as the clear enemy. I hope we pay more attention to that. The Noble Koran teaches that Allah has created us in the best of instauration. He glory be to Him bestowed us with grace, He carried us in the land and the sea, He provided us with good, and He eminently privileged us above many of those whom He created. Therefore, this is why it was at the command of Allah glory be to Him, all angels had to prostrate before Adam (peace be upon him). This was a prostration of prize not a prostration of exaltation. I wonder though; why Adam? Why Allah commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam? I have been quite thinking of a relevantly convincing answer. I thought a lot about this. The only convincing answer that I foun to be persuading so far, is that Adam was created with his adequacy to rationalize, his able to defy evil, and his desire to repel against iniquity with righteousness. These qualities and characteristics are quite integral and from my perspective, this is why Allah has favored the mankind over many of His other creatures. This brings my essay for this week to its end. It’s quite lengthy and thorough. It contains complex of information. To the best of my ability, I attempted to express my strident refusal to be submissive to the occidentalizing crusade. At the same time, I attempted to establish with historical evidence that as muslims, we are part of the human intellectual development and we will never be extinguished. Islam has predominantly been involved into the constant improvement of the scientific advancement. Islamic contribution has plainly been present. The significance of the Islamic contribution is enormously incontrovertible unless you are someone who is obsessed with the practice of knavery. This essay demonstrates my simultaneity of exhibiting a substantial level of tolerance whilst it establishes my firm allegiance to tenaciously preserve my dignity. I acknowledge my heavily strident chants in some segments, but I had to unambiguously be quite plain about my position from the culture of superiority and the practice of racism which are intensely intolerable. I am quite satisfied to communicate with people from various cultures and traditions. But I will basically react with unwavering persistence toward anyone who wrongfully considers himself better than me. This part of me is never negotiable  by any manner. I just wanted to plainly express my position regarding this ennobling part. I enthusiastically look forward to hearing your feedback. I felicitously view all of your interactions but it’s quite awkward to respond to each one individually unless there is something urgent which demands further illumination. Therefore, if you demand a response, please, you may explicitly mention that in your subject field, and I will inshallah write you back as soon as possible. I hope you enjoyed reading this as I really have enjoyed writing it. Please, if you need a further clarification to a particular point, I would much prefer if you precisely quote my very wording rather than paraphrasing it. Thank you so much for reading this. Thank you for your time, your attention and courtesy. Peace be with you.
