Roadmap to World War III

What went wrong?  Blair continues to deny responsibility for his and Bush's share in the destruction of Iraq (for the sake of oil).  He'll probably say the same about Libya. Will Blair be decorated for courage and wisdom and leadership or will he fade away and simply die of Alzheimers?  Will Iran cross the border to Iraq?  What will happen if the dynamics change?  Would the countries sponsoring the ISIS/ ISIL warlords with weapons be under threat?  Remember Iran is the consummate war planner and has proximity to the cultures, the geography, the languages and the heart of the region.  Would Iran be caught on two fronts, opening a tentative window of boldness from Israel?  Or will this give Iran the opportunity to annex a part of Iraq and demonstrate leadership by stitching up the Syria/ Iraq border?  Look at the number of countries in the region and the map.  What will Russia be thinking?  China?

How does all this affect Kenya?  I will attempt to link up the questions with the answers right here but I'll post this immediately because it is of interest to my readers.

What other words evoke the women and men involved in the trade of fulfilling the carnal fantasies of those who will purchase them?

The news still is that women who are on the lower rungs of socio-economic ladder - whatever their occupation, are working in the dark without oxygen while having to carry responsibilities that all women are carrying.

A good place (courtesy David Kuria Mbote and contribtors to the KPTJ* site) to start thinking about raising one's own awareness on vulnerable women who are also empowering themselves:

For areas of life where people are suffering, everyone of us is responsible (ie you and I, included, Ashif) .  Where people who are fighting to survive against forces of neglect are making choices for themselves based on their own experiences and environment, they have to be supported.  By you and me.  Without this support to one deeply neglected sector of humanity there can be NO progress.  I believe that we are individually and as a whole affected by the state of our environment of which all human beings, especially the one's being pretended out of the picture are integrally a part.  A major obstacle to restoring security to those who are not being seen by those in power, except as object of abuse, is the self-deluding way in which we are being taught to define the meaning of the word, 'environment'.  But what does it really include, this word?

Whatever problems beleaguer our lives are conditioned by the approach the 1% takes towards the 99% of the population.

MCAs and all these other institutions offer poor evidence for proper direction.  Well, in terms of the real world and the direction in which it is supposed to go, today MCAs are simply irrelevant.

Now that the THIRD WORLD WAR may well have gotten well under way... what a mess.

Food matters

Someone on Linked In Warned that Asians consume exotic foods without fear and one ot them is dog meat.

Ha ha!  Indeed!  Reminds me of the Highridge restaurant I went to where on the vegetarian menu they listed chicken which, for vegetarians, is indeed an exotic vegetable but they do indulge remorselessly - no fear (and, don't forget before you leave for China some (maybe not all) Chinese serve delicious fried chicken's feet to people they respect highly, so be ready, if you do not consider chicken exotic....). 

Animal, vegetable or...  mineral?

I believe locusts are considered mineral, by the way, because they consume plants which grow on the mineral content of the soils....

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - What if She Succeeded in Becoming a World Dictator?

Towards deconstructing the logic of anti-Muslim or anti-faith secularism


HIRSI THE ISLAMOPHOBE

This is inspired by Dr Kashif Chaudhry's article in The Huffington Post, titled, Hirsi Ali: Telling a Critic from an Islamophobe.

I am in the process of building these HIRSI pages. I shall put more links on Hirsi's bio, writing and news, as I learn more about her, and will attempt to develop a picture of what she is really doing from the point of view of humanity, ie, benign human beings in general, including people like myself for that is what I consider myself to be when I am at my best.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, to my mind, from what I have so far learned about her, can only at best serve as a tool for political ends.  What seems to be driving her, at bottom, seems to be only deep-seated resentment and hate.  For, it is neither logical nor normal to hate a person in the knowledge that such target of hate is not an ideology but a person with feelings.

Normally a human being has no intent to do harm.  Indeed, most believing people (theists) have entirely the opposite intentions: creative, wholistic, loving, protective and friendly ones, embracing of life; most Muslims simply follow their faiths in order to nourish balanced lives that faith has helped them to keep simple.  It is under the shelter and comfort of the institutions of the faiths of believing families and communities that political aspirations that sought a response to oppression have found violent expression.

But Hirsi also has intellectual training, intellectual stature (not sure how high, though, taking into account the commercial markets that reward her for her work); she enjoys recognition, and she has done a lot for women's rights, too.

INTERROGATING AYAAN HIRSI ALI

I should like this page (and links) to be one place where we could join and study Ayaan Hirsi Ali (and the positive and negative aspects of her opus) and how she succeeded in influencing so many clueless non-Muslim people in perverting the meaning of the word, "Islam".  In the name of protecting various heritages of Islam, this woman needs to be watched, constantly and engaged.

For the moment then, here is an article by Dr Kashif Chaudhry.  The original in The Huffington Post has also been republished on the The Muslim Times.  Please would you read it.   Kashif has succinctly deconstructed some of the Hirsi logic in two short shrifts.  You can tweet him @KashifMD. I decided to comment on this article on The Muslim Times site and here are my comments:

Nice and resourceful way of setting standards! What reading you triggered in my mind:

What would happen if those whose practice of faith Hirsi theoretically crushed, searched and filled the vacuum of bereavement from the journey to, the search for the sight of, Allah with something new she approved of… until they then decided to call it Islam?

One of the readers (also an editor?) there, Brother Rafiq A Tschannen, asked me to clarify my comment and I did so, thus (some minor edits included here for further clarity):

Sorry Mohamed, I do not quite get what you are saying…

So this is a more understandable version of how I replied to him:

Assalaamu Alaikum Rafiq,

Thanks for your response and asking me to clarify, and please forgive me for my terrible shorthand. I am assuming - by writing in that way - that Muslims in general ARE united by some values, one of them being seeking the nearness to Allah.

Kashif Chaudhry turned the tables on Hirsi’s standards for measuring the ethics of Islam by posting a status on FB (crush Atheism). Thereby he set a similar standard by which other <belief> or <non-belief> systems can be measured, no? If this premise is acceptable, then:

While I was reading his article, something popped up in my mind: Suppose Hirsi’s goals (to crush Islam, period) had been fulfilled -- the crushing of “Islam as an Ideology” -- by crushing all people who identify themselves as “Muslim”, then what might the scenario then be [theoretically speaking because, of course, Islam cannot nor will be crushed - so I am stretching the thinking to build a set of posits]?

Now, here I am referring to “Muslim” as someone who is constantly in the search of nearness to Allah, (theoretically only) being severed from a means of continuing his or her search for that nearness to Allah, seeking that sight of Allah.

Being separated from this access to search would also imply that one would, in not being able to find a path (siratul-mustaqim), become bereaved. It is like suddenly going blind -- not knowing in which direction to turn -- once your material and symbolic cultures have been stolen from you by the likes of Hirsi, if she were to succeed. Suddenly losing a sense of the Divine by being severed from a means of reaching Him would, literally, become a torture, worse than hell itself.

To my mind, this is the degree to which has reached her hate towards someone (I don’t know whom) in her life, that she is willing to transfer that hate to anyone who calls himself "Muslim", which must be quite a ghastly ethical basis upon which to sell oneself, (successfully to the highest bidder, which sometimes seems to be what some of these ex- and anti-Muslim secularists are doing).

Imagine, now, that Islam has been (theoretically) crushed. Muslims would then feel bereaved (as in Gitmo, for example) for the separation and alienation from the right to live and celebrate life as a believer. Would they now not be in search of something to fill the vacuum? Is this not the way in which Islam found a wide variety of expressions, too?

Whatever Hirsi (as a theoretically benevolent dictator) allowed those bereaved of their Islam to do in order to restore themselves from that bereavement under her beneficial rules is a question she may want to think about (if she had any morality in her being, which is what she claims she has).  It could, after all, obviously be an expression in the hearts and minds of believers, only of siratul-mustaqim as long as such people did not openly give it that name, if you follow me thus far.

Immediately the stream of their search (for restoration) would once again flow into the wider rivers which run towards Allah Who, after all, whatever name you give to Reality, is the only Reality, as anyone who has had the baraka of means to see can see.

My question is, what would happen in such a fictive scenario where Islam (as the practice of a search) had been overtly blotted out by the likes of Hirsi, but is being covertly practiced by names given to it approved by Hirsi and her ilk alone?!! I mean, let us imagine for a moment: suppose such a dictatorship had been given rope to succeed by the wrong people? And what name would someone like Hirsi give such a replacement for Islam? Has she extrapolated the consequences of having removed the spirit/ emotion/ culture and faith components of humanity from her simplistic projections? Is she purporting also to have the intellectual prowess to remove the IMAGINATION that directs the seeker towards Allah through Islam?  (Or is she relying on the Zionist to do that?)

I am not sure whether I have still made any sense but do tell me!

[I had a long argument with an anonymous secularist group (which was adamant about hiding their true identities) on Twitter. It has been removed now because I blocked them after I realised by what arguments they had attempted to confound me and can tell you about it another time. My conclusion was that they are probably Zionist-funded and are commissioned to use the word, "Islam" to cover everything that is criminal and it is very frustrating. I finally concluded that they are not talking about Islam at all but things like 'Ghazniism' and all forms of criminality perpetrated in the name of Islam. They are probably victims of abuse, as Muslims or ex-Muslims or anti-Muslims, and are easy fodder for the proponents of using hate and oppression for political ends. But the problem of stoking the fires in the hearts of the likes of Hirsi and other simplistic forms of Secularism is far from solved.]

(Sorry I don't have time to stick in the links on all the highlighted words, yet, but am working on it, and shall add more links, promise.)

 (Postscript:  Actually, in reality, to cut someone off from Islam one would require having to keep that person, as may have been attempted in Gitmo for experimental purposes, under a permanent regime of torture by keeping the person still (not being allowed to pray or read or increase in knowledge, prevention from prayer, expression of culture and contact, exercise and so forth) and under the permanent drone of non-Muslim litany, without access to Muslims and, possibly, with permanent access to other faiths, like Christianity and Hinduism, and torture, every time the person attempts to realise a Godly thought.  So it's quite impossible to stamp out or crush Islam.)
