Question: We had 911 and the US wars against Muslims (Facts tells us that was not a war against terrorism but one against Muslims) but we also had a rise in Muslim militancy (Mujahideen) in the process. Should the Muslims abandon their rights to fight back on their own lands (Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia etc) and let the western world re-conquer to rule the Muslim lands again?

Answer: Responding to your first question about 9/11, I am convinced that the Muslims were the Trojan Horse. Those who used Muslims to do the 9/11 were highly organized and futurists like your site (I mean American capitalists, here). Their interest was known widely among many thinkers in the US, including my self. What happened is similar to what happened two hundred years ago, when Darwin came out with his theory which was given as reasons to justify colonialism of Asian and African nations.

Islam from the beginning was targeted. ONLY because it is the forming force for unity, not because it is Islam. The significance of Islamic faith is dangerous for the West, as communist was in South America. I don't want to explain Islam here, because we both know very well, the power of Islam and Muslims when it comes to beliefs and simple practices (Muhammad-pbuh-was one person). The United States as a leading power brought most of the world to stand against Saddam Hussein, because he was representing nationalism as Jamal Abdul-Naser of Egypt (and Gathafi for a short time). Even though Saddam was not that respected Muslim, but he had a vision, unfortunately he was used by the West (US and Britain) to pass their policies of domination of the Arab world. They used him and gave him the green light to occupy Kuwait (this is recorded by many resources). He took the bait.

Saddam, al-Qaida, and Taliban acted with misunderstanding of the age, and self power, and gave America the power to deceive the rulers in the area, for the purpose of neocolonialism of the OIL world (which happen to be Muslim world). As you know, King Faisal paid for his life for his oil embargo in 1973. (It took two long years from CIA to plan his assassination). Saddam missed the opportunity to defeat his enemies when he had the chance. As Taliban and al-Qa'ida did. Unfortunately, they dealt with little planning in facing America. Had they succeeded they would have hurt the interest of the Western World. Unfortunately this was a game, and they lost it because they did not understand the game RULES.

But this is not an excuse to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, and any other militant Islamic groups. But the US timing was smart. Taliban and al-Qai'dah missed calculated after the defeat of Communism. In my opinion, they should havewaited at least 20 years of planning before rebelling.

 

Saddam had his mistakes, he had the chance to withdraw his army and save nationalism, (or at least to keep his regime). But arrogance, ignorance, and miscalculations led him to his death and defeat. I can tell you that the opportunity for progress and hope of new Arab and Muslim future have been assassinated for years to come by smart planning of those who know (Western Info-tech plus knowledge), it was not the matter against Islam at the beginning, because in South America when USA was planning to assassinate revolutionary leaders, they were not Muslims. But because they threaten America's interests. American interests in the middle East can be summed in two points : Domination of rulers to suppress the people under their regimes, and to control the resources of the lands (especially oil). They do not care about Islam, if Islam was not the leading power to unite people.

As of the answer to the second part of the question I say: No, Muslims should not abandon  their rights to fight back on their own lands (Afghanistan,  Iraq, Somalia, etc., ) and let the western world re-conquer to  rule the Muslim lands again.

 

I can give a counter question before answering: Can Militant Muslims (Mujahideen) with their limited leadership and resources defeat the Western powers?  If your answer was negative, then I can tell you that they can save their powers accept defeat for a while, until they become strong. Prepare new generation peacefully for the future. Saladin, in his times decided to liberate Jerusalem, he asked the people to send their 9 years children, and he trained them to be fighters. When they became 16 years old,  His army was ready to defeat the crusades.  He  achieved his goal then by planning and using time. These days, the enemies inside are more than the enemies outside the Muslim Communities.(The CIA and the Mossad article),  Muhammad (pbuh) negotiated with the Kuffar, in Hudaybiyah but opened Makkah after two years and achieved his goal of conquering Makkah. He waited the right time. Saddam lacks wisdom to stand against the World powers after 8 years war with Iran. Al-Qai’da and Taliban undermined the Western powers, they had time to prepare. Unfortunately, they, like Saddam Hussein got the bait to involve themselves in fighting America  after a short period of the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. They were out of history, because they did not plan well in the first place. International game have to be played very well by the rules of the game. Today, wars are not between man and man, as you know, it is between minds, minds control knowledge and technology, and minds control only women and weak persons. (It is not the time of Muhammad-pbuh-and Kuffar or Makkah). Our time is different, and has its rules.

It is the time of two worlds: the week, ignorant, emotional, and spiritual compared with the strong, the technological, the rational, and secular  (not spiritual) world. Time have changed. The West have changed, but the Muslims did not. They still living in the medieval age in terms of technology and power.
