ENIMIES AND FRIENDS FROM WITHIN

Published on Monday, 1 December 2014

I saw a few photographs from UK in electronic medium recently where UK Muslims (apparently non-white) were shouting with banner and placards displaying slogans for imposing Shariah in UK and whole world.

What UK Muslims of this kind want to express? They are doing harms to fellow peace loving Muslims by adopting a stance that they will overcome all adversities, obstacles and denials in a Muslim minority country like UK and establish Islamic hegemony there.

True, this type of blind faith (in Allah and paradise) or lure for booty, slaves and female flesh helped the early followers of Islam to expand an empire larger than Roman within one hundred years of Prophet's death. But that was 1400 years back when both Roman and Persian empires were on downhill track.

The group of Muslims under consideration takes the advantage of democracy, liberty and human rights for all in non-Muslim countries like UK, US and others to go and settle there first. Then they try to impose primitive and draconian Shariah (which was concocted by later Islamic scholars) as a part of realization of their pan-Islamic dominance. But how many Muslim majority countries are following Shariah now? Most do not.

The clock for this group of Muslims is perpetually frozen in the cold storage of seventh century Arabia. They don't want to accept the fact that the world has changed since then and this is 21st century with its very different economics, scientific and social developments, as well as, geo-politics. This group of Muslims first behaves like parasite in the host countries and when their host countries accept them as minor nuisance, they start behaving like termite and try to nibble the host countries from within.

Does this mean that Muslims in non-Muslim countries should be treated as second class citizens? Should they be paid back with their own coin of Dhimmitude? If non-Muslims are Dhimmis in Muslim countries then Muslims are also to be treated as Dhimmis in non-Muslim countries. For this no approval from non-Islamic religions is required. It is simple logic.

One Indian Muslim youth from Kalyan (Mumbai) has recently come back from Iraq after participating in the Jihad of ISIS. Three of his friends are still there. Likewise hundreds of Muslims are going to Iraq from different countries to fight shoulder to shoulder with ISIS Jihadis. This pattern is not unique as Islam teaches this type of violence in the name of Allah. However, a certain proportion of Muslims around the world do not subscribe to Jihadi violence, Shariah and Dhimmitude. The world can count on them.
