UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres travelled to Turkey to mark World Refugee Day as a gesture of support to the country as the biggest refugee-hosting nation in the world, largely as a result of conflict in Iraq and Syria, where the war has entered its 5th year.
“Around the world, almost 60 million have been displaced by conflict and persecution. Nearly 20 million of them are refugees, and more than half are children. Their numbers are growing and accelerating, every single day, on every continent,” Guterres added in the statement, and finally a seeming attempt of confession: “We have reached a moment of truth”… [UNHCR, 20 June 2015]
Comment:
Yes, Mr. Guterres is right, “We have reached a moment of truth” – the truth is that it is the ideology and the system that you work in and together with has caused, supported and intrigued all the conflicts around the world, but in particular in the Muslim world. It is surely not a coincidence that the vast majority of refugees are from Muslim countries: one in five of all displaced people around the world in 2014 according to UNHCR statistics were Syrian – a number of about 11.6 million people. 4.6 million from Iraq, 1.1 million from Ukraine, 8.2 million from “Recent African Conflicts”, which are Muslims from Sudan, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Nigeria. And the 29.4 million whom the statistic names as ‘other’ contain still the majority of 2.6 million Afghans. Not included in the last UNHCR chart are 5.1 million Palestinians who are covered separately. And there was still not a number given about the Muslim Rohingya refugees from Burma. While this is only the talk about refugees, the number of people killed, imprisoned and tortured in their homelands is many times more.
Guterres also complained that today, some of the wealthiest among the Western world are casting refugees as gate crashers, job seekers or terrorists. — in breach of international obligations. This is no surprise as secular capitalist powers with the USA and UK on top have always changed their own principles, rules, and laws in order to uphold their own interests and profits. – Not a single person can deny the numerous breaches of international laws when invading Afghanistan. So why should they behave in a different manner when those, whom they fight in their homelands strand on the West’s own borders? Colonialism is the main and even only true income for capitalist states and their whole foreign policy is aligned to that income gain. Occupation under pretext of war-on-terror, the more or less obvious/evident support of tyrant rulers in the Muslim lands, or inhumane and continuously changing refugee and immigration policies, as well as the daily politics and agenda against the Muslims in the Western lands bare their fruits. The capitalist West has chosen Islam as its mortal enemy as it is the strongest represented ideology – not only religion – in its colonialized lands. And Islam in contrary to non-Islamic colonies has the growing power to defeat capitalism for good. So for the West – what is the prize of a few of almost 60 million forcibly displaced people globally, or if almost 51 percent of the world’s refugees are children? – Nothing! In comparison to what they might lose for good – their blood sucking existence!
Oh Ummah! Don’t be feared by these statistics! Because they are only drawn up as annual reports for the financing of these organizations and in order to quench the deepest desire of every human being of living a life without the dictation of self-seeking rapacious humans, a live of true freedom, dignity, protection and according his created nature. And this is exactly what Islam is going to bring very soon inshaallah through the establishment of the Khilafah Rashidah upon the method of Prophethood. And then all this persecution will find an abrupt end, but do work for this! And aim and work sincerely, for this is a promise of Allah سبحانه وتعالى:
وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا
“…that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me.”
(Surah an-Nour: 55)
