Islam: The
Arab National Movement Islam has been projected as the international religion of love and equality, having cure for all the human problems. The truth is that most of its laws are borrowed and irrelevant to modern needs. Small wonder that the Muslim countries pay them lip sympathy but practise Western laws. When we look into its background and examine its principles,
it becomes evident that Islam in fact, is an Arab National Movement which
imposes the Arabian cultural and spiritual imperialism on non-Arabs through an
unparalleled system of subtlety and sophistication. One has only to look at the
histories of
Islam has become the biggest business for the mullah and an effective source of power for the politician. Therefore, they both are determined to exploit it by exaggerating its significance, and condemning all those, who challenge its validity. This is the reason that they provoke the Muslim masses through fatwas by calling the dissidents "Kafir, Shatim-E-Rasool and Insulters of Islam" whereas, in fact, these exploiters themselves are the enemies of Islam. Most of them even do not believe in Allah and the Prophet as required by the Koran. Hypocrisy is their speciality, which they use well to reap the reward of their evils. A true Muslim cannot resort to violence on a religious issue because the Koran declares that "there is no coercion in religion, " and commands: "Bring your argument if you are truthful." (Cow: 111) This book is a challenge to these people. If they are honest, they must come forward to argue their case. What is ISLAM all
about? Islam is the most violent and intolerant faith that has ever been presented to mankind. Those, who hold this view usually quote, The Disputer, LVIII: 20, which declares that non-Muslims are Satan's party but the Muslims are God's party. Thus, it is the most sacred duty of the Muslims to annihilate the non-Muslims or at least reduce them to the status of tributaries. On the contrary, the enlightened Muslims protest against this non-Muslim attitude: they quote Sufism to prove that Islam is an international ambassador of love. Of course, there is some truth in it, but who deserves the credit - Islam or Hinduism? Basing his judgment on the historical and scriptural evidence, Anwar Shaikh concludes that what is called Sufism or Tasawwuf, collides with the basic principles of Islam, but it does conform to the Vedic doctrines. Therefore, Sufism, broadly speaking, is an offshoot of Hindutva. Then, why is it considered an extension or Islam? Mysticism or Sufism is an international faith, which is
deeply rooted in the vedic
philosophy. It is a pity that the people of
Preface Islam has caused more damage to the national dignity and honour of non-Arab Moslems than any other calamity that may have affected them, yet they believe that this faith is the ambassador of: 1. Equality, and 2. Human love. 1a.This is a fiction which has been presented as a fact with
an unparalleled skill. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad divided humanity into two
sections - the Arabs and the non-Arabs. According to this categorisation, the Arabs are the rulers and the non- Arabs
are to be ruled through the yoke of the Arab Cultural Imperialism: Islam is the
means to realise this dream because its fundamentals
raise superiority of corresponding inferiority on the national dignity of its non-Arab followers. From the Arabian point of view, this scheme looks marvellous, magnificent and mystifying but it is debilitating, derisory and destructive to the non-Arab Moslems. Yet under its psychological impact they rejoice in self-debasement, hoping to be rewarded by the Prophet with the luxuries of paradise. 2b. The Islamic love of mankind is a myth of even greater proportions. Hatred of non-Moslems is the pivot of the Islamic existence. It not only declares all dissidents as the denizens of hell but also seeks to ignite a permanent fire of tension between the Moslems and non-Moslems; it is far more lethal than Karl Marx's idea of social conflict which he batched to keep his theory alive. In view of its deep-rooted tendency of Arab- glorification, Islam does not qualify as a religion but the Arab National Movement. Its success lies in total brainwashing of its non-Arab believers who begin to deplore their own national roots to adore the Arab sanctity, superiority and supremacy. Its spring is the mythical Intercessory Power of the Prophet
Muhammad. This
psychological paralysis caused the decline of great Asian nations
such as The issue this book discusses is a serious one though mischief-mongers may try to make a religious and political capital out of it. If they are really honest, they must not forget the Koranic principle of debating: "Bring your argument, if you are one of the truthful." (The Cow: 111) Finally, I may add that this essay is a part of my unpublished work: "Culture, The Destiny." It is being printed as a separate book owing to its religious and international significance. The reader may find it repetitive in style but it is deliberate to remind the reader of its salient point. Anwar Shaikh |
