Islam vice Islamism
by Thaddeus Hutyra
Generally I envision the Middle East and North Africa, and also Iran as the countries which finally approach or will soon approach freedom and democracy as the basic ideas for the state structures in their countries. Whether it will happen I don't know. Islam is there still all powerful and unfortunately there is no separation of religion from state and judiciary in all those countries. There is a thorny way to achieving freedom in all Islamic states. In Afghanistan for example the problem is that Talibans and Al Quaida don't want peace. They kill and execute innocent civilians, and are behind the terror forces which are ensuring women are terrified and succumb to archaic Islamic rules as for example wearing burkas on their heads, not saying that that the Talibans want them out of schools and public places. There is much criticism presently of the participation of American and allied forces in the war in Afghanistan. The fact is, however, Americans have liberated Afghanistan from Talibans whos are the real enemy of the Afghan people. Afghanistan must strive towards freedom and democracy as much as the Algerian people do and as the Iranian people do, and as all people around the world do. Only then will there be peace! Some people say Americans are the ones who had brought Talibans to life. There were no Talibans before then. Yes, it was a mistake, the Americans armed Talibans against the Soviet Union and then it turned against them. So...it was a mistake for which we all pay a heavy price. I agree with you there shouldn't be one war. But you see what is happenin in Libya. The citizen of that beautiful country called for intervention as well as the whole Arabian Community, against the tyranny of colonel Gaddafi and his masacres of innocent men and women. There was no way to do anything there with flowers. Gaddafi has no respect to flowers, not even to his own citizen. So, what could have been done in Libya? The same much earlier in Afghanistan? Take example of Iran or North Korea. The regimes there are so powerful that the citizen there have no chance to free themselves from their cannibalistic regimes. The same was a case with the Germans before the II World War who had had no chance whatseover to liberate themselves from Nazi government of Adolf Hitler. It was nazism or fascism which eventually caused the worst worldwide war in the history of the humanity. There had to be created a coalition of world powers to defeat nazi Germany, fortunately successful. Take also example of Eastern Europe under communism for about 50 years till just over 15 years ago. Luckily in this case no outside intervention was needed and people themselves removed their communists from power with exception of former Jugoslavia and Bielarus where a conflict erupted among people of different nationalities and religious beliefs. There are indeed countries as Iran and North Korea, and also as Libya till now in which it was impossible to remove their regimes because of the militaristic structure of their forces comparable with those of nazi Germany. In Iran it is all powerful system called Islamism which is using God in order to enslave the entire population and to bring apartheid against all women in Iran. That system is even worse than communism was, brutal to highest degree. The "SS" Republican Guards are throwing to prisons evyone who is showing even minimum resistance to the regime, they torture their victims in bestial ways and don't hesitate to murder them if they like. In Libya is similar situation but one only man, colonel Gaddafi orchestrated a family terror over the whole country. During the 40 years of his rule he has managed to enrich himself but made of his countrymen the most poor people in the world, he enslaved them, terrorrised them, tortured them and even killed them when he liked. He was a serial murderer. Just recently he has called his own countrymen as "rats" and he has announced he will kill ruthlessly everyone who has oposed his regime, he has sent military planes against innocent people and shot them without a mercy. Simply evil! Libyans began to ask international community to help them, many of us here called for the same and finally the United Nations so often criticized by us for unactivity has brought upon us a delightfull decision in its Security Council sitting, to act and create a non fly zone over Libya. Libyans were jubilant. Let's not forget it! Nobody of us is pro war, but there was no choice and the international community had to act, with a goal of removing colonel Gaddafi from power and bringing him to the International Court in den Haag. I just wonder why that Gaddafi is so a stupid guy? He should have given up his power, go to his friend Chavez in Venezuela, yet before he had ordered that military planes against the innocent civilians. He didn't do it because he has already murdered people many times before and for him one murder or thousands of more murders is the same. This is a serial killer which must be stopped. Secondly the Libyan people deserve to build a democracy and to enjoy freedoms. The sooner Gaddafi is captured the better, there is no any other solution. Hopefully no fly zone stays as no fly zone till Gaddafi is removed and fastly. If there was a separation of religion from state and judiciary in Iran and Arabic countries then Islam would be just a normal religion as Christianity for example is in Europe and Americas. But there is no separation of religion from state in Arabic countries and therefore everything what means Islam is bad for all those people because if Islam is being used as basis for creating state structures in their countries then it is nothing else as the so called Islamism. Islamism is not a religion but ideology or state structure of a country as for example communism or fascism were. Imagine that a European country as Poland for example, does not have a separation of religion from state and judiciary and Catholicism becomes a source to establishing a a religious state system in Poland. The country would instantly be very different from other European countries, in a very negative light. Women would immediately find themselves degraded by the laws of a religious regime, and all citizen would find out their rights and privilages were gone. Such Poland would certainly not been as Poland of today, a country of freedom and democracy. The moral is a religion can never be used in state affairs and should certainly be kept away from state and judiciary.
A classic example of Islamism you have in Iran. People there are overwhelmingly against the present system, which is terribly archaic and cruel to everyone who disagrees. You must keep your mouth shut down there. It is strange in this XXI century of modern telecomunications, smart phones, i-Pads, Apple computers, Facebook and Twitter. Young Iranians want to live the way their compatriots live elsewhere, going to dance or techno event, having fun. In the meantime they are caught up in the Middle Ages like environment and unable to free themselves from the chains of tyranny from their archaic but extremely efficient in brutality regime. Unless of course they are lucky to emigrate. There a misunderstanding of two fundemental meanings and it is about Islam vice Islamism. Some people say Islam is not a problem and while saying so they try to camouflage the real face of the system in which a religion isn't separated from state and judiciary. Perhaps Islam is not a problem but ISLAMISM - as much as fascism and communism - is the problem. Islamism is an ideology, actually perfectly being orchestrated in Iran by the ajatollahs which is even more evil than fascism or communism were, because Islamists use God against innocent men and women, and they use God for enslaving women and for apartheid against women. I just wonder how rightful people in this world can accept attrocities of Islamism and its horrendous machine of injustices against large sections of populations. It is a system of men against men, cruel regimes, extreme punishments against political oponents and men of free conscience, and of apartheid against women. How anyone can accept Islamism? No, ISLAMISM is indeed the worst evil on this planet! Just look at present Iran, what they do with Sakineh Ashtiani and political prisoners, and with thousands of innocent women which are imprisoned for nothing and raped in their prison cells. Don't mistake it with Islam, please.
Say "No" to Islamism, say "Yes" to freedom and democracy! Free your minds and free your lives! Let's strike at the chains of tyranny and ignite the flame of freedom like Olympic torch at every corner of Your country, and at every heart! Let's walk towards freedom and welcome her with open hands!
Viva freedom! Viva liberty!
