Lest we forget: On 14th February 2019, 40 Indian brave hearts lost their lives in Pulwama from a cowardly attack from Pakistani sponsored terrorists. Islamic terrorism has become a cancer to the world. It's time the world faces up to the truth and stops appeasing to these monsters.
Over the past decade or so, there has been increasing anarchy generated by the Islamists throughout the world to force their particular ideology for a Caliphate. They have, and will use, every part of Islamic text to support their mindless barbaric violent acts against everyone. To them, either you are a ‘true’ Muslim of the Caliphate, or you are a ‘kafir’. And once they deem you or your nation as ‘kafir’, they allow themselves to use all means to subjugate.
There are Islamic nations that have funded these extremely insane ideologies. The ‘Jihad’ started 1500 years ago, and it has continued ever since. It has attacked Christians (remember the crusades), the Jewish community, and the Dharmic traditions and community (Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists).
Pulwama is just one of thousands of events across time and continents. It represents a mindset of extreme illogic, coupled with an ideology that promises seventy-two virgins should they die in the quest for the Caliphate. An ideology that allows the perpetrators to lie and deceive (Taqiyya), even in the name of the Quran, to ultimately realise their goal.
I sense that the world is now on the cusp of a major reset. Whilst national leaders in many western countries have followed the path of appeasement, the people they represent are increasingly becoming agitated.
With 365/24/7 News and social media blasting away in every language known to humanity, it has created noise that has reached dangerous levels. Add to the mix the total madness of those on the left who have embarked on a mission of wokeness, and of being politically correct, at any cost. Under that guise our major educational institutions, political fraternity, local governments, entertainment and media channels, sports and even global brands have all been compromised.
The churn at the grassroots has started. It is not a good sign. It’s a reaction by the masses to the madness that is now engulfing the world. The extremists have succeeded in getting their narrative across at the top level, but the people will reject it. And that day approaches sooner than one might think.
All is not doom and gloom though. I sense that the UAE and even Saudi Arabia might have tweaked that if they don’t course correct, the only losers will be Islamic nations. I would suggest they need to ramp up their capacity to save Islam and the Muslim community from the extremists urgently. It now requires a total reformation of Islam. Edicts worthy for the 21st Century need to be declared across the globe and enforced. The space available for extremists must be squeezed. This would be my preference in terms of action needed.
The alternative I suspect will be very costly in terms of life and infrastructure. We have seen the devastation in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia and many other nations. That would pale into insignificance if this ‘Jihad’ is not stopped now.
India took a step back at Pulwama, as they have done so on other cross-border terrorist attacks. It is now only a matter of time before India wipes out that terror threat for good. And other nations and people will follow in their own way.
There is still time to reset. I hope those with the most to lose understand that their time is up. It’s time to put humanity first.
