A few years back during the summit conference of Non Aligned Movement (NAM), the leader of Libya Col. Gaddafi said ‘NAM is a big joke’, impotent to get any tangible result for the ills of NAM member countries. In fact NAM was initiated by all the jokers only namely Nasser of Egypt, Tito of Yugoslavia and our cha-cha Nehru. Without physical power to control ill doings of wrong doers your authority is useless. This is what exactly happened to NAM. It is a toothless body to impose its will on other members committing breach. It lacks punitive powers to castigate the wrong doer nations. It cannot reprimand other members because it has no power to force the other members going wrong into submission. It can only advise but its advice is non-binding. This is exactly what is happening currently to the other two organisations, namely Arab League (AL) and Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).
AL and OIC were formed to settle the conflicts erupted in these organisations but unfortunately what we saw in Tunisia and Egypt yesterday and what we see today in Syria, Libya and Yemen make us to admit that AL and OIC are become impotent to control the volcano erupted there. OIC is having religious backing because it is formed by the Muslim countries to run their affairs adhering to their religious belief. But do these chaotic Muslim nations follow their religious tenets to handle their chaotic situation? I cannot believe that security forces loyal to Col. Gaddafi in Libya with the backing of Col. Gaddafi are raping the Libyan females owing allegiance to the opposition groups. It is not only an ordinary sin but a big sacrilege. How God, how Allah will forgive such crimes committed on innocent females? Where are the Islamic leaders and gurus gone now? Why can’t they raise their voices in unison in the name of their religion against the crime of rapes committed on Muslim Arab females by their own male Arab and Muslim nationals?
I cannot understand why there is so much of human killings in the Muslim world ! Islam is such a peaceful religion that due to its peace loving message there should be no killings of innocent people by Muslims and in the Muslim world. Most of the killings in the Muslim world are taking place on the day of Friday which is to be considered a holy and sacred day in Islam. And unfortunately these killings take place after the prayer in the Mosques. What a tragedy is it !! People after coming out of the Mosques should be refined, purified and holy but instead they become opposite.
Earlier only the Jews were killing Muslims and Arabs in the occupied land and because of this the entire Arab and Muslim world used to make a big noise. But now in Libya, Syria and Yemen innumerable Arab Muslims are killed by their own brothers. Where is the Arab and Muslim world now to raise its voice forcefully against these killings? Brothers are killing brothers to support the protection of the chairs and thrones of their leaders who are shamelessly rotting on their Chairs and Thrones for decades against the wishes of their peoples. Ruling a country for 4 decades by the same person is something ridiculous. Can the mental faculty of such leaders be sound to rule for such a long period?
In the last 8 year war between Iran and Iraq thousands and thousands of Arab Muslims were killed thereby weakening the numerical strength of Arabs and Muslims. Such killings help no one except the Israeli Jews. The loss of Muslims is the gain of Jews. To fight the Jews the Muslims in this region should fortify them and not liquidate their own population.
Islam is a religion that propagates transparency and democracy. Without applying this democratic code son Assad occupied the chair of his father Assad in Syria. Gaddafi is preparing his son to occupy his throne. These are unilateral decisions without following the democratic norms in its true democratic system. In Libya and in Syria people are disenchanted, they cannot accept the goings on there under the one man rules of their rulers since 30 and 40 years continuously. Current new generations will never accept the one man rule of dictators. The time of one man rule of dictators in the Arab world and in the Muslim world is coming to an end but before that lot of struggles are required in which more Muslim Arabs will have to shed their blood. And in the bargain Western Powers and Israeli Jews will be the better beneficiaries of the chaos in the Arab and Muslim world. The chaotic situation occurring in some Arab and Muslim countries now is because of the greed to hold on to power by their greedy leaders who think that they have devine right to rule their nations indefinitely. This is wrong and earlier this wrong is corrected the better it is for the entire Arab and Muslim world.
