Very sad..
Islam has become a hostage to insane lunatics, out for revenge on their losing battles through the blood of innocent people. In the name of "Allah" all kinds of inhuman atrocities are being carried out. How come "Muslim blood" is being targeted, becoming collateral damage in the jihad against infidels? The present set of attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan are aimed at maiming terrorists own ideological next of kin; Muslims, killed by their own Muslim brothers in name of Jihad! What kind of Jihad is this? The moderate Islamists lament with pain, " Et Tu Allah?."
Defeatism has become prevalent in the Islamic World and self-inflicted pain has become pleasure. Forbearance, fortitude, patience - key qualities to make any nation great, has been sacrificed on the altar of hostility towards the US. The famous Khomeinite slogan of "murg bey Amerika" has become the clarion call of the extremist Shiites and OBL faction of the extremist Wahabbis alike. The commonality of purpose to establish a medieval order and arrest the progress of mankind has taken precedence over traditional sectarian disputes of the centuries.
With the threat of looming free elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, the ideological gurus within Qom and Alqaeda headquarters of Global Jihad Inc. see their first and foremost enemy as the forces which are helping free elections in countries where there were no elections or electoral history. Elected governments in Afghanistan and Iraq, emerging from the ashes of war and destruction, will offer a new form of moral governance parallel to controlled "mullah-infested" kangaroo democracy of Iran, where those able to contest have to have a certification from an Allah-guided clerical institution. The hurdles to keep opponents out using the name of Allah have turned elections into a farce. The nightmarish scenario of outing sham democracies, as freedom is unchained, has sent tremors down the spines of leaders who have ruled masses without consent. It is in this backdrop where the world sees ideological foes, Sadr and Zarqawi, Omar and Hikmatyar, using the same manuals, so as to turn Iraq and Afghanistan into a total lawless zone. They anticipate the "waft of freedom" as a poison chalice and a death warrant for terror infested tyrannies; to extinguish this waft of freedom, every possible act of terror would be unleashed.
The threat of possibility of "pluralistic governance" in the regions that are at the heart of the Islamic world has changed the course of politics in the remnants of the house of Khomeini and extreme Wahabbis. The extreme Shiite and Wahabbi elements have graduated from a collision course to cohabitation and cooperation. Wahabbis, who financially bankrolled the internecine Iraqi war in the 80's on Iran through their proxies, have now in the face of this "waft of freedom" donned new colors. Instead of deciding on the puritanical nature of revolution of Khomeini and Wahabb that was at the root of the Iraqi imposed war, they have now decided to mutually cooperate with the "ex-ideological devil" to defeat the common enemy of the "waft of freedom" raising its ugly head in the heart of the Islamic world.
