| UN Reforms To Legitimize Terror Against Muslims |
| 2005-07-17 |
| From Jihad Unspun, an article by Abid Mustafa, political analyst who specializes in Muslim affairs The present obsession of some Muslim countries on which countries should occupy a seat in the expanded UN Security Council is misdirected. .... Besides the plan to expand the Security Council, the new reforms advocate the use of pre-emptive strikes and include an open-ended definition on terrorism. The proposals are meant to be debated by the General Assembly later this year, but so far the discussions have revolved around the expansion of the Security Council. The inclusion of pre-emptive strikes and a loose definition on terrorism will enable western powers to legally justify punitive actions against Muslim countries that pose a threat to their interests. The threat does not have to be real, only perceived. This will preserve west’s domination over Muslims lands within the ambit of international law. Since its inception in 1945, the UN has been used by the great powers especially America to cement their hegemony all over the world. No people have suffered more at the hands of the UN then the Muslim Ummah. The west used the UN to carve up Muslim land such as the separation of Bangladesh from Pakistan, dismemberment of Bosnia and the division of Indonesia. Furthermore, the UN has been used by the west to plunge a dagger deep into the heart of the Ummah by creating Israel and supporting its existence by issuing resolutions in her favor. The UN has also played the instrumental role in isolating Muslims from each other by imposing sanctions on Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Iran and Afghanistan. The UN has also been used by the west to justify the invasion of Somalia, and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Given the UN’s criminal record against the Muslim world, its hostile plans for the future and its inability to restrain American hegemony, it beggars belief why the rulers of the Muslim world blindly submit to the UN and hold it in such great esteem. Any sane ruler with a modicum of common sense should have realized by now that severing ties with the UN would give them a better chance of fighting western imperialism. .... The only source of protection from the aggression of western powers and their instruments of terrorism such as the UN lie in the emergence of a powerful Islamic State. .... |

| #7 the UN has been used by the west to plunge a dagger deep into the heart of the Ummah by creating Israel The very fact that Jews exist is an affront to muslims everywhere. some frikkin religion. The inclusion of pre-emptive strikes and a loose definition on terrorism will enable western powers to legally justify punitive actions against Muslim countries that pose a threat to their interests. if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck . . . |

| #6 Well, terrorists are Muslims, aren't they? In that sense, the UN reforms could truthfully be said to legitimize terror against Muslims. |

| #4 an open-ended definition on terrorism In the Muslim world, an "open-ended definition of terrorism" is one that's not limited to acts by Israel, the US, and Britain. |
