Salafi Crimes And The West’s Double Standards by LagosShia: 7:54pm On Oct 06, 2013 |
Wednesday, 25 September 2013 11:01 As the crisis in Syria drags on with no end in sight, the double-standard policies of the claimants of human rights and democracy are becoming further exposed to the world every passing day. In a classic example of hypocrisy, the western regimes, who have supplied their terrorist operatives in Syria with internationally banned chemical weapons, are instead alleging that it was the government of President Bashar al-Assad that used toxics to gas to death people in Ghouta suburb of Damascus. In a bid to justify their intervention in Syria the media horns of the West are indulging in a massive disinformation campaign, while at the same time they are ignoring the inhuman crimes of the Salafis and other al-Qaeda affiliates against the Syrian people. If only one single citizen of a western country was to be subjected to the crimes the Salafi terrorists are committing against the hapless people of Syria, the propaganda machines of the West would have resorted to a hue and cry on a grand scale. It is worth recalling that during the American occupation of Iraq when a few nationals of certain western countries were taken hostage by the Salafis who heinously killed some of them, the US resorted to a massive propaganda tirade against the perpetrators. Now the Salafis in Syria are committing acts of terrorism, far greater in magnitude than what they did in Iraq, but the western media is simply ignoring these atrocities. In view of these facts, US president, Barak Obama’s address at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, regarding his tirade against the government of Syria, was nothing but trash. Two main reasons could be citied for the double-standard policies of the self-styled defenders of human rights and democracy. The first is the colonial tendency of dominating others, and the second is the fear of the dynamism of Islam, which is attracting people in the West itself. Over the past two decades, the western world led by the US has interfered in various countries under the guise of humanitarian operations. On the pretext of the ill-defined war against terror, Afghanistan was mercilessly pounded and occupied. Iraq was subjected to the same measures on the false charge of possessing weapons of mass destruction. Almost on a daily basis, drones are raining down death and destruction of civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen on the pretext of fighting terrorist groups. The plot is to portray the Godless terrorists as ‘Islamists’ in a bid to tarnish the image of Islam, so that people develop a negative attitude towards Muslims and Islam. In Syria, the hapless people have become the targets of both the Salafi terrorists and certain western regimes. It is obvious for all that while claiming to rescue the Syrian people from the government of Bashar al-Assad, western regimes, despite their pretension to democracy and human rights are turning a blind eye to the most inhuman crimes being committed by the Salafis in Syria. The irony is that the western regimes are providing all sorts of support to the terrorists, including political, financial and military. Without the support of western regimes and their regional allies like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the Salafis could not have fought the Syrian army for the past two and a half years. It is also an undeniable fact that most of those fighting the Syrian government are mercenaries assembled from various countries of the world and trained in camps in Turkey and Jordan by the western regimes themselves for killing the innocent people of Syria. In view of this reality, isn’t it hypocrisy for the US and the West to support these inhuman Salafi terrorists, while pretending to sympathize with the Syrian people by accusing the Syrian government of the use of chemical weapons? The questions that arise here are: Are the Salafis really Muslims? Does their behavior tally with the teachings of Islam? What kind of jihad is this, when their victims are fellow Muslims while their backers are the archenemies of Islam? The answers are obvious, and it is clear that the Salafis have nothing to do with Islam. They are nothing but the creation of the US and the Zionists. The Messenger of Mercy, Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) told Muslims be kind and compassionate, not just each other, but towards non-Muslims as well. AS the Prophet of peace, he strove for social justice and practically taught us how to behave even towards captives. Imam Ali (AS) the 1st Infallible Heir of Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), in the last moments of his blissful life, after being struck on the head by the poisonous sword of a renegade, advices his family and followers to treat his assassin in a just manner. How could Islam with such leaders who are the symbol of mercy, kindness and forgiveness, be an advocate of violence, including the decapitation or the burning alive of persons, and the tearing out of their bodily organs for eating them raw? How can a Muslim hang infants and adolescents as a form of vengeance against the parents? History bears witness that among the reasons behind the rapid spread of Islam was the exemplary behaviour of the Prophet towards one and all, including his opponents. In the initial years of his mission in Mecca, he was exposed to severe harassment. For instance, there was a Jew who used to throw trash at the Prophet whenever he happened to pass by his house. One day, while passing by the Jew’s house, when nothing was thrown at him, the Prophet enquired the reason and was told that the Jew was sick and bedridden. The Prophet promptly decided to visit the Jew to enquire about his health. When the Jew saw such a kind behavior on the part of the part of the Prophet, he decided to embrace the truth of Islam. Islamic history is full of such cases which speak volume of the humanitarian aspects of Islam and Muslims. This means that the Islam to which the Salafis lay claim is a completely distorted cult. When Islam never permits Muslims to call the opponents as infidels or to harass them, how could it endorse the killing of fellow Muslims? Jihad in Islam has been permitted only when the religion, territory and honor of Muslims are exposed to aggression. When Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) returned to his hometown Mecca eight years after migration, he declared general amnesty for all, including those that had plotted against his life and warred against him. He proclaimed as a place of refuge, the house of his archenemy Abu Sufian, who had imposed the battles of Badr, Ohad, and Khandaq upon him. Even Hend the wicked wife of Abu Sufian was granted amnesty despite her heinous act on the Day of Ohad in chewing raw the liver of the Prophet’s uncle Hamza whose body was savagely cut on her orders by her slave Wahshi. It is thus clear that the Salafis do not follow the instructions of Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), but are followers of the pagan Arabs, as is evident from their barbarism in Syria. This is all part of the devilish designs of Global Arrogance to distort the image of Islam, through their mercenaries the Salafis, who are igniting sectarian conflicts and desecrating the shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt, in order to promote American and Zionist interests. http://english.irib.ir/radioislam/top-stories/articles/item/164394-salafi-crimes-and-the-west’s-double-standards |

The wahhabi have effectively cheated the west that they are moderates and need support. We call that taqqiya. But say why do Shia kill Sunni in Iraq. Which the Main stream media report as sectarian strife? Why are Shia killing Sunnis in the whole of the Arab world? Revenge? So if its for revenge does the holy book justify killing innocents in another part of the world just because say the Burmese muslims are being killed by buddhists for instance? |

Salaam LagosShia. These salafis are muslims right?, then if your report is true where do they get their teachings from? I mean no where does Qur'an ask us go shedding blood. And saudi arabia having a hand in the whole conspiracy rings a bell. I learn't majority of saudi arabia is covered by sunnis |

And saudi arabia having a hand in the whole conspiracy rings a bell. I learn't majority of saudi arabia is covered by sunnis Salafists/Wahhabis claim to be part of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal Jama'ah (popularly referred to as Sunnis),thus you see the name of "boko haram" is "Jama'ah Ahlus-Sunnah lid'dawati wal jihad" (meaning "sunni people for propagation and jihad" ).the Wahhabi school of thought is prevalent in Saudi Arabia and it is a salafist group.as for where they got their teachings,they got those lethal teachings from the teachings of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Abdul-Wahab.

Ok, another sunni sect responsible for havoc and mischief? God willing, i will dig further to verify this, hard to believe they had a hand in Afghanista and Iraq 's fall. If it is so, how come we have been kept in the dark and all we know is the american government alone r responsible? |

The problem we have here is convoluted. Saudi guys in so many ways are piloting islamic affairs world wide. Talk of hajj for instance. And what this video summarises is that a lot of things may have been kept hidden from muslims. This could just be a drop of the bucket. Well it is good u came up with the original post, we should be aware of the calibre of people we learn from, most particularly when it comes to islam. It might be too soon to draw conclusion, but jack, in every rumour, traces of truth could still be found. Got to investigate. |
