Dying candle flickers ever so briefly before being extinguished forever. War in Iraq as we have written in several articles over the past 6 months has changed the dynamics of the Islamic world. Within coming 24 - 36 months the changes would be so rapid that the waft of freedom will be universally felt. Within the Islamic Arab communities the weakness of leadership and separation of leaders from populace that had led to the ‘myth of hatred’ is dead ultimately. The whole slogan of the street being against America, recent polls put 81% of Muslims against America, sensationalism aside the poor state of populace from Turkey to Pakistan all adds to frustration, the leadership needs to be pro-active and provider of basic amenities. Total nonsense of fanning hatred through perpetual jihad has resulted in misguided populations, the failed leaders across the board after seeing Baghdad fall have realised that freedom and course of peace is the only way, the road from Baghdad has opened many a eyes as we expected. If they continue this hatred against west the people like it for street expression but the real hated is the lack of freedom they resort to terror love because they cannot express their dissent. They equally detest their policies, they can demonstrate against US presence in Iraq but in their heart of heart they accept the presence with a glee too, this ambivalence and general acceptance of US control in Iraq has led many in the Arab world think of their fate, there is no one who is going to cry for them! The leadership options are now changed no point in holding US responsible for all evils within them they need to harness the evil fundamentalism and political extremism that will shake the foundation of their nations. The collection in Sharm Al Shiekh is natural corollary of the action and policies precipitated in the last two years post 911. When oil wealth is being harnessed and the children of Basra have shoes on their feet then the revolution will traverse the lands of Islam. It is the ultimate coup de grace for the Islamic fundamentalist and their dying movement is just as when a dying candle flickers ever so briefly before being extinguished forever.
