Three young boys namely Abdullah Ahmad Ali 28, Assad Sarwar 29 and Tanvir Hussain 28 all british muslims who were convicted few days before have now been awarded imprisonment for 40 years , 36 years and 32 years respectively. They have been alleged to have plotted to blow transatlantic passenger jets bound for North America using highly sophisticated liquid explosives. It is said that if this plot would have succeeded thousands of people would have been killed, as per the verbatim of the judge of the case, stand alongside the events of September 11, 2001, in history.
Most of times it is said that extremism is bred in those areas which are poverty ridden, education less, ill or un-governed states for which Afghanistan, Somalia and certain areas of Pakistan are given as an instance. This argument is mostly put forward by US and its western allies, often to justify their actions in all these aforementioned areas, However, it is not mostly true, it is not the people of these areas only which are instrumental in progression of hate against US and its allies. Many young people even from US, Canadian and other western nations have been seen fighting in Afghanistan against western forces few of whom were captured even. The point of stress is that extremism has little to do with poverty, illiteracy and ill /un-governed areas, contrary to this, the main sources of this hate are the people with good education, better economic conditions and the areas which are well governed. One big instance is of the people who were alleged to have been involved in September 11, 2001 incident and these young British boys too attest to this premise.
Mr. Barrack Obama had given a hope by a speech of reconciliation few months back in Cairo. There was optimism among the Muslim masses that there will be policy shift in US due to Mr. Obama good gestures. The root causes of the extremism will be addressed and world will move towards a better future. However, what appears as of now, no substantial policy shift is seen in Obama administration and at many fronts it seems they have marched over to Bush administration.
United States appear to have failed in dealing with Israel. Israel recently defied US by not accepting barrage upon construction of 455 housing compounds in western bank on the Palestinian land. Many experts believe that Israel can never defy US it is just a whitewash to befool world in general and Muslims in particular. US interventions have increased manifold under Obama rather than as it used to be in the time of Mr. Bush. Troops surge has been done in Afghanistan. Pakistan’s north-western tribal areas are receiving frequent drone attacks. Even US forces have recently killed one Mr. Salih in Somalia in a helicopter attack. Even it is reported that US has been supplying weapons to the warring factions in Somalia, the path which even Bush presidency did not tread.
Killing the opponents all over the Muslim world has not and will not help US and its allies to have more friends rather it is earning enemies. The un-denting relationship with Israel is one of the biggest sores and reason of hatred which Muslims bore against US. One will be living in a fool’s paradise to believe that the people will love those who actively support the illegal state which killed 1300 innocent people of Gaza which included hundreds of infants and women whose blood was seen sprinkling on the TV screens. Let US and its allies believe that cannot make any inroads into Muslims whether literate or illiterate, rich or poor etc until and unless Palestinian issue is not solved as per the wishes of Palestinian people in particular and Muslims in general. Further, there is a need of reconciliation in Afghanistan; you are nowhere even after eight years except common Afghan Muslims are dying. Come out of Iraq and let Iraqis decide their own future. Similarly there is no need to burn your fingers in Somalia again. Few years back when the same person who is President of Somalia whom US supports now was leading Islamic Courts. That time he was in better position to control all the groups who are fighting Government there, US opposed him. Iran and Syria need to be dealt with peace and parleys rather than viewing them through the goggles of Israel. Stop supporting despotic regimes in Muslim world. Lastly, help in solving the problem of Kashmir created by strong ally of US, i.e. England.
Come let us change this world from hatred to love but love can come only by visiting to root causes and by solving them. Muslims are humans like other humans believe me they have no horns on their heads. We hope, in future, no more guys like these young lovely guys turned extremists will have to face prosecution for 32 to 40 years, and will live their life to its fullest as all others live.
