Baghdad May Have Fallen, But The Ummah Is Now United

The Crusaders have marched into Baghdad after three weeks of merciless bombardment with bombs and missiles that have killed thousands. Those who were not killed or injured in the attacks suffered as the Crusaders knocked out vital infrastructure such as water and electricity works, in their bid to catch one man - Saddam. Was it any surprise then that the western "embedded" journalists - the Muslim ones having been murdered by US forces - painstakingly struggled to obtain angles that would show the streets full of jubilant people welcoming the US troops? Where were the five million people of Baghdad? Where were the scenes reminiscent of the fall of communism in Russia and across Eastern Europe? Hmmm... Yasss... Murdered by U.S. troops. I like that... Of the five million inhabitants, only a few were seen greeting US troops. A few hundred were seen defiling anything related to Saddam, and hundreds more were busy stripping Saddam's palaces of whatever they could get their hands on. The remaining people - the majority - were out of sight, wary of the presence of those who have sought to starve and kill them for over a decade. They had not spent the previous weeks resisting the invasion of these forces because of any love for Saddam; the screams were "Allahu Akbar" not "Long live Saddam". They did it for Islam, and though they resisted bravely and many became Shaheed, they could not hold out with just rifles. Clearly the only people that are rejoicing are the Crusaders, and those few exiles who are besotted with the western way of life. There are many signs that this war has gone against the western interests, and has furthered the cause of the Muslims and Islam. Those signs are right there, you just have to look really, really close to find them... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-12 |
