Islam is the champion of irrationality
and myths, that is, Islam possesses more myths and
superstitions than any other monotheistic and monolithic
religion of the world. Muslims
widely believe that—Mosque, The Kaaba-Sharif, The
Holy Koran never can be burned by fire, or Holy war and holy
Jihad can never be defeated. Because, holy war/Jihad is always
supported by Allah. Islamic
histories are loaded with myths and superstitions, which
mullahs widely believe them. Prophet Muhammad’s success in
his wars with pagan Arabs was seen as the divine blessings
directly from Allah. There are very many stories of Angelic
assistance and help in the holy wars of Muslims that were
fought in the 7th century period.
The Koran and Hadith mentioned many such divine
interventions in the holy wars, as if, Allah’s Angels and
His Prophet fought the wars side-by-side.
Nevertheless, these were all but wishful, fabricated
and fictitious stories Muslims swallowed in early period of
brainwashing by Islamic myths and by rote learning.
In many occasions of Indo-Pak
wars—Pakistani soldiers and some devout Muslims used to
believe that there would be some sort of divine intervention
to protect Pakistan from the infidel Indians. During the Gulf
War in 1991, some devout Muslims residing in the comfort zone
of infidel USA aggressively argued with me that—infidel
soldiers of America will not win the war with Iraq, because
Iraq especially Baghdad is laden with many Muslim’s Holy
places such as Bara Pir’s Dargha, etc., and they
hoped that there will be some sort of divine intervention from
Allah. Saddam
Hussein repeatedly claimed that Merciful Allah is on his side,
he declared Holy war against America, therefore, infidel force
will be defeated. Well, we all know what had happened to that
Allah’s party in the Gulf War.
The arguments and reasons cited by those
wishful Muslims who supported Iraq during the Gulf War were of
two different folds. (1) Iraq is a Muslim country and America
and the west are the infidel nations, therefore Muslims, the
Allah’s party, will defeat the infidels. (2) America is the
paper tiger that was defeated by Vietnam people. Therefore,
general hope among the Muslims was that America would be
defeated by Muslim Iraq. The fact of the matter is, America
was never defeated by Vietnam; America was actually defeated
by the joint forces of Soviet Russia, China and Vietnamese.
That is, America fought not just the Vietcong guerrillas
alone, but America actually fought the combined forces of
USSR, China and Vietnam—a formidable force indeed.
Birth
of a New Islamic Myth:
During the Afghan War with Soviet Russia
in late ‘80s—the united force of Afghan Mujaheedin did not
defeat Russia alone. Russia was defeated by another super
power America. Russia
had to fight fanatic Afghan Mujaheedin armed with 100%
by the most modern American weapons. Had there been no supply
of American modern weapons and no boosting of morale
(supports) by America, Britain and all the Muslim world—it
would be absolutely impossible to defeat a super power such as
Soviet Russia. The
strange thing is, Afghan Mujaheedins mistakenly thought
that their victory against the super power Russia had to do
with some kind of divine intervention.
Afghan Mujaheedin and Talibans considered Russia
infidel godless force, and their victory against this infidel
super power was taken as
the Allah’s mercy to those pure Muslims of Afghan.
Later when Talibans, the more purified force of fanatic
Mullahs, took over the whole Afghanistan from the
moderate/socialistic forces of Afghanistan—Taliban fanatics
truly believed that this victory definitely had to do with
divine intervention by Merciful Allah. Their fanatic zeal was
further energized tremendously by the Prophetic representation
by the pure Arab Muslim Maulana Osama bin Laden.
Mr. bin Laden’s joining with Afghan Talibans was seen
parallel to the 7th century leadership of Prophet
Muhammad with those Arab Bedouins in Medina.
Their triumphant victory against the Soviet and the
Afghan socialistic forces was seen as the good comparison with
the victory of Prophet Muhammad against Arab pagan forces.
Osama bin Laden clearly spelled this idea in his fatwas
(called bin Laden’s fatwa) issues for his Al-Qaeda
disciples in 1996. It
was at that time that Afghan Talibans coupled with bin
Laden’s fanatic zeal started to dream of spreading/exporting
Jihadist Islamic ideals throughout the world.
They perceived the Soviet’s demise as the signal from
Merciful Allah to conquer and spread Islamic Shariat to
the whole world including America.
They selected the difficult terrain of Afghanistan as
the breeding ground of the new generation of fierce Islamic
soldiers, who will conquer whole world—thus fulfilling the
Koranic injunction given by Prophet Muhammad.
In many recent interviews with the
western reporters, bin Laden openly asserted this belief in
Allah’s assistance in his struggle against infidel America.
He and his Al-Qaeda strongly believed in the
unseen delivery of Allah’s assistance in their Holy
struggle, and they all were in very strong dream and illusions
of this Islamic Myth, i.e., Allah’s unfailing assistance in
their struggle against American infidels.
And this particular strong but idiotic belief system
made them so daring, dangerous and callous in front of the
well-known challenge from the only mighty superpower America.
They simply declared “Holy War” (Jihad)
against the infidels and gave a clarion call to all Muslims of
the world to joint in their “Holy Jihad” against
the infidels. Therefore,
many young pure Muslims from Arab, Pakistan, Chechnya and
other Muslim countries deliberately and cheerfully joined this
holy party of Al-Qaeda.
Like those fanatic Bedouin Arab disciples of Prophet
Muhammad in their Islamic Jihad in 7th century, Al-Qaeda
fanatics had no fear of death whatsoever. They had death wish
to become martyred to reach the Seventh Heaven (Islamic
special paradise of Zannat Al-Firdous) to enjoy
unlimited sex with paragon celestial wide-eyed houries.
Getting the all out supports from Maulana
bin-Laden (true reminiscent of 7th century
Prophet), Mullah Muhammad Omar (reminiscent of 7th
century’s hazrot Omar) the supreme leader of Talibans
was also super energized by the divine fanatic Islamic zeal,
and did not care at all about the mighty super power America.
This clodhopper half-educated Mullah Omar had the
slightest idea about the modern weapons of America.
He openly asserted with many western reporters that his
Jihadi force would defeat America just as they did to the
Soviet. Even today, when his so called “Holy War”
turned into a true “Holy Mess”—Mullah Omar is
in a strong delusion that, Allah’s mercy is on it’s way,
coming soon from the heaven! Mullah Muhammad Omar, the supreme
leader of Talibans who was interviewed (during the week of
November 12,2001) by BBC said: “This
is not a matter of weapons, we are hopeful for Allah’s help.
The real matter is the extinction of America…this is my
prediction. You believe it or not—it’s up to you.” Anybody
who listened the Taliban’s press release on November 20,
2001 could hear the same assertive hope and dream of Taliban
leader and his Jihadi followers desperately gathered in
Kandahar. Their hope still is “Allah’s help is coming from
the Above as the Ababil birds. They will throw stones over the
heads of Northern Alliance soldiers and on American soldiers.
What a wishful dreamer this one-eyed Mullah is!
The
famous Ababil Myth of Quran:
The
Quranic Sura# 105 (Sura Fil, or The Elephant): states
that, Allah sent divine birds called “ABABIL” to destroy
the infidels from Yemen who wanted to destroy Kaaba house
(house of Allah) in Makka.
Devout Muslims widely believe this story of Koran by
their hearts. They also believe that like Mosque, the ‘Kaaba
Sharif’ the Allah’s house at Makka can never be
destroyed by any human being.
The fact of the matter is, in the ‘80s, Iranian
shiite Muslims blasted bombs at the heart of
“Kaaba Sharif” damaging good part of the Kaaba
building. This time, Allah did not come with His Ababil
birds to destroy those bad Iranians, nor Allah’s might was
able to make human made bomb inactive by His Kudrot
(stratagem)!
After America started theirs bombing in
Afghanistan—almost all the pure Muslims of the whole world
(not the rulers or the governments) started supporting
Talibans in their holy struggle against America.
Readers saw those unlimited chanting with anti-American
rhetoric of poisonous slogans and effigy burning festivals by
Mullahs of Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and other Muslim
countries throughout the Muslim world.
My elder brother lives in Dhaka.
On our phone conversation during the middle of October,
2001, my brother told me that because of relentless chanting
from the various mosques and religious congregation (called Waz-Mahfil)
using ultra-high volume loudspeaker, it is quite impossible
for the public to sleep in Dhaka city these days.
He further said, “We cannot sleep during the night
for fanatic Mullahs. They are chanting that Allah will destroy
American infidels by sending divine punishment through Ababil
birds.” My
brother asked me if there was any Ababil birds arrived in
Afghanistan soon. What
should I say?
Tayab Agha the Taliban spokesman in the
recent press report said: “ Taliban
will rise again. For the time being we will defend the present
power we control, but when time comes, the responsibility of
taking other provinces will lie on our shoulders. God will
compel Talibans to fight until we are alive to secure our
religion. Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) faced the same temporary
defeat, but Allah helped him to defeat the enemy of Allah. Our
leader Mullah Omar was not referring to something to be done
by weapons, but something from Allah’s side will come soon.
We hope the Almighty Allah would break America and the other
powers.”
Ababils
of Infidel America:
We have learned from the world history
that the name of the war game is weapon superiority, and of
course, morale, unity, well training, etc., work as the
additional strength of the force.
Most importantly, whoever possesses weapons superiority
wins the battle for sure. We all know, today’s war
absolutely depends on the Air power superiority.
Whoever has the superiority in air power wins the war.
Plain and simple.
This war equation in Afghanistan is 21st century air
and space power of super power America combined with 16th
century land forces of Northern alliance.
Us bombing totally broke the physiological barrier and
morale of Talibans. Many
times, bombs were dropped from US planes (B-52 bombers) that
were at such a high altitude that, they could be neither seen
nor heard. Suddenly
the world around Taliban troops would begin to explode. As I
can quote some from the surrendered Taliban soldiers’
interview with the western reporters. One such Taliban
described: “American
attack upon us was from out of the blue.
Was it the bird of Ababil? You don’t hear anything,
you don’t see anything, and all your best stuff blows up.
It’s like God did it to you—your trenches, your
tanks just blow up, cloudy or not day or night.”
Talibans are absolutely right!
The giant B-52s bombers’ continuous pounding of
Talibans positions broke the pride of Talibani Jihadi zeal,
and relentless demolition of Taliban’s buildings, bunkers,
and hideouts plummeted the Talibans morale.
The use of bunker-buster bombs, 15,000-pound
Daisy-cutter bombs did the job.
The much-fabled Ababil birds did not arrive from
Merciful Allah. Instead,
the real Ababils were coming from America’s mighty
modern air force with their laser-guided missiles, and smart
bombs, and 1000 lbs., or 1,500 lbs. bunker-buster and
daisy-cutter bombs. The Talibans had no choice but to run
like foxes (in Bengali- Urrdha Shasshe Dour)
curling up their tails.
Conclusion:
As I alluded to earlier, war game is the
game of weapons-superiority.
Historically, one civilization conquered another
civilization mainly by their weapon-superiority.
The fact of the matter is, there was no divinity or
divine intervention for anybody, or any nations who won the
war over the other. It was the superiority of weapons coupled
with National unity, good cause and inspirations among the
worriers. Islamic
Prophet conquered disunited and demoralized pagans by the
united Arab Bedouins with their strong fanatic religious zeal,
and not because of any kind of divine intervention, so to
speak. It was the
success of Arab imperialism sparked by the name of religion
Islam. Prophet
Muhammad was clever enough to brainwash those half-civilized
Arab Bedouins by luring them with worldly profit of booty
(wealth’s, women, unlimited sex, etc) and, of course, with
the heavenly pleasures of celestial Houries, unlimited sex,
wine, honey and bird’s meat after death.
Coming of Ababil birds from heaven with stone
was simply one of those Arab folklores conveniently used by
the Prophet just to mesmerize Arab illiterate Bedouins.
The problem however is our millions of
close-minded Muslims who still like to have comfort believing
such hoax of Islam. The demise of this incogitant Islamic myth
is very urgent to protect our civilization from the false and
illusionary religious zealotry of those mad fanatic Islamists.
The sooner those Muslims get the education that these are
merely myths and superstitions of Islam, the better off these
hapless folks would in the long run.
The sixty-million-dollars question is—who is going to
teach these mindless folks to come to their senses?
Any clues?
