the effects of Donald Trump’s rhetoric
Fareed Zakaria can contribute to solve ISIS problem by Americanism (not Americans) and Islam (not Muslims)
Dear Editor
-- This refers to ‘Washington Post’ article “[I’m Muslim. But Trump’s views appall me because I am American]” by Fareed Zakaria (FZ). In this article FZ says that the effects of Donald Trump’s rhetoric (for temporarily stopping all Muslims from other countries from entering USA) in the wake of Islamic terrorism attack on 12/2 in Bernardino, California have already poisoned the atmosphere nationally and internationally and FZ claimed (rather a hope) that in the end, the United States will reject this fear-mongering and demagoguery.
In this article FZ is delusional when he says that:-
(i)- [The country will not stay terrified. Even after San Bernardino, the number of Americans killed by Islamist terrorists on U.S. soil in the 14 years since 9/11 is 45 — an average of about three people a year. The number killed in gun homicides this year alone will be about 11,000]. Rather this should have awakened FZ to reality that despite negligible killings due to Islamic terrorism USA has practically panicked after Bernardino shoot out. Obviously FZ failed to differentiate between killing out of personal factor (in gun violence) and out of duty in the service of global ideology (in this case Caliphate of all Sunni Muslim majority countries of the World, as is being propounded by ISIS).
(ii)- [People from all sides of the spectrum are condemning Trump — though there are several Trump-Lites among the Republican candidates]. FZ should not forget the example of PM Modi in India who later could not deliver on any of his election promises but by projecting his macho image and by promising moon got unprecedented support from the people in 2014 Parliamentary elections. Hence FZ is simply whistling in the dark when he thinks that it will not happen to Trump and he will be rejected by Republican in primaries or by the people of USA in 2016 Presidential elections. On the contrary in present context when people are angry with establishment the candidate like Trump has every chance of success at every election (party and general) by naked appeals to people's’ fears and prejudices.
In a nutshell such superfluous approach will not solve this problem and FZ will have to comprehend the problem in proper perspective to solve the problem as given below:-
(1)- First and foremost Muslims should understand that if Islam becomes human rights friendly then (as compared to all other religions of the World) it is nearer to modern thoughts and democracy due to (i)- Its worship of abstract (more acceptable in this age of unprecedented advance of science & technology) and opposition to idol worship (ii)- Belief in keeping temporal power under the authority of religion (people’s power which is supposed to be supreme in democracy) and (iii)- the use of military power in the interest of religion, which in modern world is practically the human rights about this-worldly (and not other-worldly) matters of religion.
(2)- At the same time FZ need not pamper Americans who have already given-up most of American values (Americanism). To give only one example the value of rule of law and human rights (of illegal immigrants) have been given-up by Americans as mentioned at - http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2012/120627/myview.html
(3)- World will be a better place if Sunni Caliphate can become human rights friendly as mentioned at - http://hindtoday.com/Blogs/ViewBlogsV2.aspx?HTAdvtId=9998&HTAdvtPlaceCode=WORLD
(4)- Present global political order being practiced by West with hit & run policy through UN has failed where 5 permanent members are more a problem than solution to global crises. Hence new ‘Regulated Global Political Order’ (RGPO) is the need of the time. This RGPO is nothing but human rights friendly Caliphate.
(5)- Bur West will not adopt RGPO so easily. Hence FZ and other Muslims (especially Muslim-Americans, to start with) should try to eliminate violence, terrorism etc from Caliphate initially by making Islamic clergy of ISIS territory accountable as explained at http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/detail.php?hnewsid=5724
(6)- West including USA should be exposed by FZ and other Muslims because Christian USA (the so-called leader of free world) is causing so much misery & problems in NAME / Syria by not adopting RGPO and instead bombing the region (with unavoidable civilian casualties & displacement) by pursuing outdated Hit & Run policy (which already failed in Afghanistan & Iraq post 9/11) as mentioned at - http://aapress.com/editorial/editorial-after-122-usa-should-think-about-regulated-global-political-order/
(7)- Therefore instead of projecting his identity merely as American-Muslim Fareed Zakaria should rely more on Americanism & HR-friendly Islam and should use media resources at his disposal (like GPS of CNN etc) to mobilize Muslim-Americans and other Muslims from rest of the world (may be through some organization, existing or new) to make Sunni Caliphate in Syria & Iraq (Sunni Islamic State SIS or with any other name) a success by making it human rights friendly so that entire Sunni majority countries of the world [who are politically in problem (mainly due to Christian West) and many of them are bleeding and weeping profusely] can be brought under one authority of Sunni Caliphate.
This will constrain Christian West and other countries to adopt RGPO at UN which will be nothing but human rights friendly secular, a sort of, Caliphate where military power of UNPKF (instead of military power of Caliphate) will be used in the service of human rights (in place of Islam).
