In the last days of the Ottoman Empire, the people of the Arabian Peninsula had gone back to their pre-Islamic tribal existence of warfare and banditry.

Saudi contagion — the US-Israeli nexus

Abu Dharr

Rabi' al-Thani 08, 14332012-03-01

Have you ever stepped back and looked at the crumbling regimes in the Arab East? If you did, have you realized they are republics and not monarchies; not that there is much of a difference between the two but the hype in the corporate media is about freedom, rights, dignity, democracy, and the rest of this political litany that is well-known.

Yusuf Dhia-Allah

Safar 07, 14332012-01-01

The Saudi regime has adopted a three-pronged strategy to deal with the storm that has erupted since the Islamic Awakening swept the Muslim East more than a year ago. Soon after two dictators — General Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia and General Hosni Mubarak of Egypt — were driven from power in quick succession, Saudi King Abdullah announced billions of dollars in handouts to buy people’s loyalty.

Muharram 06, 14332011-12-01

The Saudi-ruled kingdom is heading for turbulent times. It faces challenges on both external and internal fronts. No, there is no imminent threat of a military invasion from abroad. It is the invasion of ideas that is scaring the living daylights out of members of the House of Saud.

Although not given much publicity in the Western media, Saudi Arabia has been brutally suppressing political dissidents.

If it were another government it would have caved in by now, but the heavenward Islamic government in the world has survived. The Islamic Republic of Iran, whatever one’s view of it, has weathered political pandemonium, economic earthquakes, and media twisters the likes of which we have not witnessed. This is a government and leadership with a people and population extending beyond its geographical frontiers.

முஸ்லிம்கள் இன்று ஏறத்தாழ எல்லா முனைகளிலும் தாக்குதலுக்கு ஆளாகிவருகின்றனர் —இராணுவம், கலாச்சாரம் மற்றும் இடைப்பட்ட சகல முனைகளிலும் தாக்கப்படுகின்றனர். ஈராக், ஆஃப்கானிஸ்தான், பாலஸ்தீன், செச்சன்யா போன்ற நாடுகளில் அந்நியப் படைகளால் அவர்கள் ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் பலிகொடுக்கப்படுவது மட்டுமின்றி, முஸ்லிம் நாடுகள் பலவற்றின் சொந்த இராணுவங்களே கூட முஸ்லிம்களைத் தாக்கி வருகின்றன —எடுத்துக் காட்டு: பாகிஸ்தான், எகிப்து, அல்ஜீரியா, துனீஷியா, மொராக்கோ. இந்த இராணுவத் தாக்குதல்கள் போதாதென்று மேற்குலகின் கலாச்சாரத் தாக்குதல்கள் வேறு. எனினும், சவூதிகள் புனித மக்கா-மதீனா நகரங்களில் —முஸ்லிம்கள் இவையிரண்டையும் சேர்த்து ஹரமைன் என்றழைக்கும் அந்நகரங்களில்— எடுக்கும் நடவடிக்கையோடு ஒப்பிடும்போது, மேற்கண்ட கொடூரமான யதார்த்தம் கூட முக்கியத்துவமற்றதாகத் தெரிகிறது. பேராசையும் வஹாபிஸ ஆர்வ வெறியும் நச்சுக்கலவையாக சேர்ந்துகொண்டு இஸ்லாமிய நினைவுச் சின்னங்களின் அழிப்புக்கு வழிவகுத்துள்ளது. இவை, துவக்ககால இஸ்லாத்தின் செழிப்பான வரலாற்றுப் பாரம்பரியத்தை இன்னும் சில வருடங்களில் நிரந்தரமாகத் துடைத்தழித்துவிடும் எனத் தெரிகிறது.

Implications of the militarization of the Islamic struggle (2008)

Abu Dharr

Jumada' al-Akhirah 27, 14292008-07-01

The United States of America, the sole superpower in the world, or the so-called “hyper-power”, the one with the most advanced armed forces, with satellites in the air and spies everywhere, is getting its nose bloodied in Afghanistan and suffering military defeat in Iraq. And who is inflicting these humiliations? Mujahideen armed with little more than iron determination to expel the occupiers from their homelands.
