Israel finally launched its ground offensive in Gaza after carpet bombing the strip indiscriminately, slaughtering and massacring hundreds. Many across the world - Muslim and non-Muslim have watched in horror as Israel continued to churn out lies and as pictures of Israeli bombardment beamed around the world. Even the usual pro-Israeli influential elements within the global media have been unable to defend Israel as images of dead bodies dumped outside hospitals were beamed around the world.
The response by the Ummah to the events of Gaza globally has shown that after undergoing centuries of decline the ummah has responded as one body. The outpouring of emotion and the demonstrations around the world show that although geographically Muslims are dispersed around the world they viewed Israel's massacre in Gaza as against a section of the Ummah and not as Palestinians or foreigners.
This shows that the Ummah has responded as one body to the attacks and we also see this has also been the case with the general onslaught the West has been leading against Muslims since 9/11.
Muslims currently all over the world are reacting as one body to the onslaught against their brothers and sisters.
This treachery of the rulers has reached a new watershed as their collaboration has been in open rather then in secret. Only 20 years ago many thinkers and scholars in the Muslim world could not sense the treachery of the Muslim rulers. However, after the first Gulf war, which was perpretrated under the pretext of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, both the American animosity and the complicity of the Muslim rulers became evident. Not only did the Gulf regimes lose credibility for allowing the American troops bases in the Hijaz and other places, but so too the Islamic scholars who justified the war. Muslims could sense the gulf between themselves and the rulers.
The role of the rulers been completely exposed; Egypt has been exposed by Israel's most respected daily paper, Haaretz, of being informed of the attack days before it was carried out. The Arab rulers rather then sending their armies have instead attempted to attack Iran for its so called support of HAMAS. All the rulers in the Muslim world have done nothing other then attack HAMAS for causing the crisis and this has now proven to all that Israel can only carry out such attacks due to the treachery of the Muslim rulers. We have now reached a point where the fault line between the rulers and the Ummah is bigger than ever.
If we look at the recent history of the Muslim world and the relationship between the people and the rulers, we can see that this relationship has become tenuous and now the Muslims hold concepts and sentiments that fundamentally contradict that of the Muslim rulers. This gulf was not present for most of the last century.
We have witnessed how Jamal Abdul Nasser enjoyed the strongest relationship with the people. He was seen as the Arab saviour due to his wresting of the Suez Canal from the British and his stand against Israel. The Muslims believed that Jamal Abdul Nasser was reflective of them.
The Muslims hailed Yasser Arafat as one of the lions of Islam. Arafat managed to enlist hundreds of thousands of young Arab men to his rallying call for Jihad against the Israeli occupiers.
The Muslim Ummah until the late 1980's were oblivious to the actions of King Fahd and the other Gulf rulers due to their economic prosperity and the influence of the Saudi backed scholars and movements.
The relationship between the rulers and the ruled in the Muslim world was always weak; people were apathetic to their failings for a whole host of reasons. The chasm was initially masked due to the relative strength of Arab nationalism and other ideas such as Ba'athism and Socialism. In some of the Gulf States, economic prosperity masked the underlying chasm. This was the case until 9/11. The attacks on the twin towers brought to the forefront that Muslims have a completely different view to how life should be organised relative to the West. When Muslims from the west were found fighting alongside the Taliban this sent shockwaves around the Western world, as such Muslims who were born in the West placed their loyalty with the Ummah rather then the nation they were born in. The subsequent war in Iraq and the complacency of the rulers proved to many that the Muslim rulers share virtually nothing with the Ummah.
The question that needs to be asked is: if the values the Ummah wants to live by are different to the values that are implemented over them then why do the Muslims continue to abide by these values and allow the rulers who implement them to rule over them? The answer to this is that the rulers in the Muslim world do not maintain their power by sharing a close affinity with their people, but rather through brutal methods of force and torture in order to subjugate the masses. This point is well established and does not need explanation. This has been the case for many years now and is not a new development.
Today the Muslim rulers are in political chains; trapped between subservience to an ever demanding America and the West and fear of removal by their own people. Only this week online news reports quoted unidentified diplomatic sources as saying that Egyptian authorities have arrested a number of high-ranking army officers and put military police on high alert following signs of growing resentment within the army over the way President Hosni Mubarak has handled the current situation in Gaza.
With this in mind the following points should be remembered as we move forward:
-
- The Ummah globally needs to beware that the treachery of the rulers continues without shame. The Muslim rulers are deceiving the Ummah by allowing demonstrations, protests and vigils. Such actions are not enough. Muslims globally must push the rulers with all ability to mobilise the armies to fight.
-
- At the same time the Ummah should expose the treachery of the rulers for not doing actions which will save the Ummah and push the armies of the Muslim world to remove such traitors. The armies will only move if they feel the Ummah globally is against such rulers who are now a liability.
-
- The armies of the Muslim world themselves are part of the Ummah. They feel the problems of the Ummah. Most of the Arab rulers actually gain their legitimacy by having the army on their side and without them they are useless. A strong message needs to be sent to the armies that its time for change, which requires the removal of the rulers.
-
- Muslims in the West should also be careful in working with non-Muslim groups. Many Socialist and lefty organisations are attempting to respond to Israel's massacre making their view the best organised response in the face in injustice. It should be remembered such movements are calling for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and lobbying Western governments who created Israel and continue to collaborate with them to solve the problem they created.
-
- Whilst Muslims are forced to accept the legitimacy of Israel, Israel on the other hand is never condemned for not accepting a state for Muslims. An independent Palestine in reality is a jail for Muslims and unfortunately many Muslims have fallen prey to this. Israel never disengaged from Gaza, it simply relocated its settlers to seized West Bank land to strengthen its hold on the territory. It redeployed to new positions so it could re-enter Gaza at will. It has ensured it controls Gaza's airspace and coastline, movement within and between Gaza and the West Bank and virtually all other aspects of Muslim lives. Since HAMAS's January 2006 electoral victory Israel has falsely labelled HAMAS a terrorist organization, cut off all outside aid, imposed a crippling economic embargo, imprisoned 1.5 million Muslims in isolation, inflicted devastating human suffering and stepped up oppression in an all too familiar pattern: repeated incursions, killings, targeted assassinations, mass arrests, incarcerations and torture.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that the Muslim puppet rulers need to be removed. The situation has grown so bad, if you ask a 15 year old in the gulf what does 'Ummah' mean, thay will have absolutely no clue. Muhammad (SAW) waid: "the sign of a good ruler is that he loves you and you love him. The signs of a bad ruler is that he hates you and you hate him" Allahuma Izz Al-Islama wal muslimeen. Allahumansurna alal qawm-il-kafireen Ameen |

Gaza was a testing ground --- Obama had requested that the Jews hold off their attack but the Jews know that they control America. Gaza allowed the Jewish leaders to measure the power of US Jewish and Zionist political influence. Prime Minister Olmert’s public boasted that he pulled President Bush off the stage from an official public appearance and successfully ordered him to instruct his Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice to abstain from voting on her own U.N. authored resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza before the Security Council. First on the most obvious level Olmert’s revelation confirms the power of Israeli leaders over the White House sand the USA.. Secondly, the public nature of the exercise of power, tells the world that Israel can openly flaunt its capacity to humiliate and ridicule the President of the United States and later brag before Israeli officials with no adverse consequences. Thirdly it tells us that Israel has a greater say in US foreign policy than the American Secretary of State (or Foreign Minister). Fourthly it tells the World that Israel decides how the US behaves, votes, vetoes and abstains in the United Nations Security Council, subject to Israeli approval. The regular American on the street is totally unaware of any of this because the American Media is kept silent just like it was in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq. |

To believe that the whole country would engage in a revolution (even the majority of it) is closer to 'wishful' then to believe that, certain officers in position of influence inshallah will change. These rulers do not care what the masses believe, so long as the the reigns of power are with them (i.e. Army etc). They only fear the sentiments of the masses because work exists to take the power away from them, that is their biggest fear. People consist of feelings, emotions and Ideas, which are subject to change, even the best carriers of Dawa, the strongest in Iman and committed can change to become treacherous, weak and away from the truth. The opposite is equally true and very possible, so long as attention is given to the matter, which we all know is from the method of the Prophet, to take Nusrah. Therefore we should not despair and become desperate and clutch at straws, rather trust the words of our Lord Allah azza wa jall and take the guidance of the Messenger (saaw) and work in accordance to that guidance, .and Allah (swt) has promised the Ummah Nasr (victory) |

The Armies of the Muslim world are totally infiltrated by corrupt members and systems that are designed to make sure nothing these armies do can effect the status quo as imposed by any of the fueding foreign colonialist (at least the ones with the initiative and lead) What we need is to take it to the street. A revolution, (Not necessarely violent one), is the only way to go, the entire counties shut down and in prepetual protest until the government fold and the structure collapse. Anything else is wishful thinking. |

When people like the ways of the Kuffaar the they will be raised on the day of Yaumul Hashr with them (Hadeeth) From this we can only assume that Hosni Mubarak,King Abdullah,The rulers of Jordan and the other gulf states who love America ,Britain etc and have put their trust in them and are aiding and abetting them in killing and harming the Ummah of Muhammad SAW.will undoubtedly die miserable deaths and will face Allah swt with the whole ummah bearing testimony against them!!!!Allah forbid if the do not repent and mend their ways they may die as Muaafiqs-----and they should remember that death is inevitable and very ,very close to every living creation.ALLAH-U-AALIM. |

Oh..My Brothers and Sisters.. It is not a new phenomena for us to witness that the Arab leaders are not responding to the call of duty. We have witnessed it since the creation of the Jew state, and we have also witnessed it in Iraq, Afganistan, Somalia and the list is long...Do not forget that Gaza is ONLY a part of this global problem that we are going through. With the experience that we have had in the past and the knowledge of the past and the current affairs in this Muslim ummah, we can say for sure that these calls and appeal made to the Rulers of Muslim land and to the Army to fight the aggressors will bring nothing but a fall on deaf ears. We can carry on doing this futile and fruitless effort of appealing and calling these scumbags as long as we want to please ourselves and to say we are doing something about our brothers in Gaza or where ever it may be and to say we are responding to the command of Allah.. The bottom line is Zero output!!.. My Brother, We have been very vividly witnessing that there are people who have been standing firm against the aggression of the aggressors in many part of the world such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia. .. They are the people who adhere to the Quran and Sunnah and carry on doing the CALL of DUTY...We know that they are putting up a real challenge and resistance against these aggressors, thus became a real enemy to the Local Puppet Governments as well as to the International Crusaders !.. If we want to do something and to save our neck from the responsibility that is placed upon us, we have to think and act in line with the reality. My Brother, we know that the camps have become separated and the time has proven the reality. We need to put aside our differences in trivial issues and move forward. It is you and I , who wants to make thing happened, not the government and the rulers or the Military!!.. Make NO mistake, Just SENDING STRONG messages to ARMY in Muslim World will have very minimal impact... As we can see how the dynamics of the war in Afghanistan is changing in favor towards our brothers and how the high ranking Afghan and Pakistan military officers switching their side to stand with brothers against the Rulers, it is becoming very clear that THE ACTION and the Sacrifices you do to help the Ummah DOES make real change in Military forces and bring their support to the Ummah... Another example that I can reflect on is the Chechen war. As many know, the FORMER Russian Military chief of Staff Aslan Mashkadov joined the Brothers to support the cause and later another Military Officer - Shamil Basayav joined.. So my Brother, We need to take our responsibilities very seriously and act and support the "real enemy" of the aggressors, to alleviate ourselves from our plight and to establish the supremacy of justice across the world .. The path is clear!. are we ready to travel? May Allah help us all.. |

The traditional relationships between the Muslim armies, the Khilaf, the Khilafah and Ummah as a whole, all in submission to Allah Ta'ala, have been replaced by a man-made, man-centered, and self-worshipping 'legal system' that places the control of the armies under the commandments of men who wish to rule AS Allah. The armies are merely being used as the private security forces of the tyrants and not acting in their designated as the physical defenders of Islam, the Khilafah, and the Ummah as a whole. The time has come for the leaders of the Muslim armies to evaluate what and who they are actually serving and to take the appropriate steps to Return to Allah Ta'ala's command in submission and repentence - while assuming their rightful and elevated role as defenders and champions of the Muslim Ummah. |
