Excerpt Case Study: Why is the Holy Qur'an so easy to Hijack?<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nWhile\r\naccepting socialization as a fact, the Qur'anic recipe to circumvent\r\nsocialization as a means for independent evaluation of beliefs, is to\r\napproach the Holy Qur'an with a cleansed heart. <\/i>(Ibid.)\r\nBut one still observes all the <\/span>cleansed hearts<\/i>\r\nthroughout the ages still pretty much fall along the same sectarian\r\ndemarcation among the Muslims. Why does the <\/span>cleansed heart<\/i>\r\nrecipe evidently fail when it comes to sectarianism for the topics\r\nwhich divide the Muslims? Perhaps the hearts aren't <\/span>cleansed<\/i>\r\nenough? That platitudinous metaphor for bringing utmost earnestness\r\nwhen seeking a rational as well as spiritual understanding of the\r\nHoly Qur'an, not bringing preconceptions and prejudices to its study\r\nand reflection, doesn't really lend any additional insight into the\r\nsubject of why even the most earnest seekers of truth come away\r\nunderstanding the Holy Book pretty much along the axis of their\r\nsocialization. Focusing on the heart is a dead-end<\/span>\r\nas far as further intellectual inquiry is concerned. <\/span>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nTherefore,\r\nthe question naturally arises, that if it is empirically observed\r\nthat everyone finds their own self-serving justifications to validate\r\ntheir respective socialization in the Holy Qur'an, how is one to\r\nstudy the Holy Qur'an objectively, independent of one's own\r\nsocialization, in order to learn and comprehend what its own Author\r\nwanted to convey in that most revered Book of the Muslims? \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nHow\r\nare we to prevent the hijacking of the Holy Qur'an from a\r\nself-serving understanding of it for our own selves?<\/b><\/p>\r\n

\r\nBefore\r\none can even begin to perceptively answer that crucial question,\r\ncommonsense suggests that one has to first diagnose and dissect the\r\nproblem more precisely.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nTherefore,\r\nwe begin by formulating the problem in this way: \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nWhat\r\nare the inherent<\/span> impediments for studying\r\nthe message of the Holy Qur'an which make the Book so amenable to\r\nself-serving interpretation, socialization, and even bastardization\r\nby anyone? <\/b>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nJust\r\nto briefly footnote the usage of the latter villainous word,\r\nbastardization<\/b>, it is no secret that today, its harbingers\r\ninclude the most notable Western propagandists. E.g., Bernard Lewis\r\nof Princeton University who skillfully crafted the mantra of 'Clash\r\nof Civilizations' and subsequently wrote the thesis “Crisis of\r\nIslam – Holy War and Unholy Terror”; and Dr. Zbigniew\r\nBrzezinski<\/span> who easily gave to the USSR its\r\nVietnam War in Afghanistan in Muslim blood with nothing more profound\r\nthan a simple retake on the German Third Reich's battle cry Gott\r\nmins uns (God be with us)<\/i>: “God is on your side”.<\/i><\/p>\r\n

\r\n“In\r\n1990 Bernard Lewis, a leading Western scholar of Islam, analyzed 'The\r\nRoots of Muslim Rage,' and concluded: 'It should now be clear that we\r\nare facing a mood and a movement far transcending the level of issues\r\nand policies and the governments that pursue them. This is no less\r\nthan a clash of civilizations – that perhaps irrational but\r\nsurely historic reaction of an ancient rival against our\r\nJudeo-Christian heritage, our secular present, and the worldwide\r\nexpansion of both. It is crucially important that we on our side\r\nshould not be provoked into an equally historic but also equally\r\nirrational reaction against our rival.'” (Samuel Huntington in\r\nThe Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order<\/i>,\r\npage 213)<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThat\r\nsupposed “Muslim Rage” of 1990 was turned into the\r\negregiously titled full blown propaganda treatise The Clash of\r\nCivilizations<\/i> by Bernard Lewis' Zionist-imperialist confrere at\r\nHarvard University, Samuel<\/span> Huntington, in\r\n1995:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n“The\r\nunderlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is\r\nIslam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the\r\nsuperiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of\r\ntheir power. The problem for Islam is not the CIA or the US\r\nDepartment of Defense. It is the West, a different civilization whose\r\npeople are convinced of the universality of their culture and believe\r\nthat their superior, if declining, power imposes on them the\r\nobligation to extend that culture throughout the world. These are the\r\nbasic ingredient that fuel conflict between Islam and the West.”\r\n(Ibid. pages 217-218)<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAnd\r\nHuntington's myth crafting of 1995 was turned into the perpetual “War\r\non Terrorism” on September 11, 2001 by the\r\nZionist-imperialists' errand boy, George W. Bush Jr., the President\r\nof the United States, with <\/span>“either you are with\r\nus, or with the terrorists”!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\nBernard\r\nLewis subsequently justified George W. Bush's launching of the global\r\n'War on Terrorism' in his phantasmic 2003 book Crisis of Islam –\r\nHoly War and Unholy Terror<\/i>. First by reinforcing his earlier\r\nseeding of the mantra of 'the roots of the irrational Muslim rage',\r\nand extending those roots to Islam itself:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n'But\r\nIslam, like other religions, has also known periods when it inspired\r\nin some of its followers a mood of hatred and violence. It is our\r\nmisfortune that we have to confront part of the Muslim world while it\r\nis going through such a period, and when most – though by no\r\nmeans all – of that hatred is directed against us.'<\/b> ---\r\nBernard Lewis, Crisis of Islam – Holy War and Unholy Terror,\r\npg. 25<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAnd\r\nthen clairvoyantly predicting the following self-serving conclusions\r\nas his last word: \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n'If\r\nthe fundamentalists are correct in their calculations and succeed in\r\ntheir war, then a dark future awaits the world, especially that part\r\nof it that embraces Islam.'<\/b> --- Ibid. Chapter IX: The Rise of\r\nTerrorism, pg. 164<\/p>\r\n

\r\n'If\r\nfreedom fails and terror triumphs, the peoples of Islam will be the\r\nfirst and greatest victims. They will not be alone, and many others\r\nwill suffer with them.'<\/b> --- Ibid. Afterword, December 1, 2003,\r\npg. 169<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nMoreover,\r\ntoday, both “militant Islam” and “moderate Islam”,\r\nthe Hegelian Dialectic to continually advance and sustain the cause\r\nof empire's “War on Terror<\/span>” as\r\na <\/span>“self-fulfilling prophecy”,<\/i>\r\ndraw justifications from the Holy Qur'an. One for Holy War, the other\r\nfor Holy Peace. Each side has its partisans among the public because\r\neach side easily sees the correctness of their own position –\r\nit is, after all, (selectively) rooted in the Holy Qur'an they each\r\nclaim. See <\/span>Response\r\nto the Fatwa on Terrorism in the Service of Empire<\/span><\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\nHowever,\r\nmechanisms for the bastardization<\/b> of a religion is not the\r\nfocus of this analysis. <\/span>See Islam\r\nand Knowledge vs. Socialization<\/u>,\r\nIslam\r\nvs. Secular Humanism and World Government<\/u>,\r\nand Case\r\nStudy in Mantra Creation<\/u>\r\nfor these details. (Chapters 10, 9, 18, and 2 respectively.) The\r\npolitical novel (or historical fiction – the only fair way to\r\ncharacterize it) “Memoirs\r\nOf Mr. Hempher, The British Spy To The Middle East<\/u>”\r\nis further revealing of how the hijacking of the religion of Islam\r\ncan be so diabolically engineered by planting and cultivating stooges\r\nfor cognitive infiltration into the religion via a subversive sect\r\ncreation in the 18th century. In PART SIX of the novel, key\r\ninsightful observations are made about the religion of Islam and the\r\nMuslim psyche which, regardless of who authored them – whether\r\nas historical fiction or a real handbook of subverting Islam –\r\nare empirically visible even today. Empiricism lends direct credence\r\nto the description of the Machiavellian methods of subversion of the\r\nreligion of Islam in that political treatise (read pertinent excerpt<\/u>)\r\nirrespective of who is its author or what literary device is employed\r\nto convey the malignant thesis. \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nJust\r\nas “<\/span>Philip\r\nDru Administrator : a Story of Tomorrow 1920 - 1935<\/span><\/u>”,\r\nby Edward Mandell House, depicts in a fictional narrative, the first\r\nprinciples used for the author's own Trojan Horse role in controlling\r\nPresident Woodrow Wilson's presidency (1912-1920) as a puppet on\r\nbehalf of oligarchic powers behind the scenes. First principles which\r\none can observe being practiced for all American presidencies ever\r\nsince, including today for President Obama's puppet presidency. <\/span>Just\r\nas empiricism also lends incontrovertible<\/span>\r\nweight to the Machiavellian methods in the Protocols of the Elders of\r\nZion regardless of who wrote that malignant treatise whose effects in\r\nthe world today are plainly visible as if blueprinted directly from\r\nthat villainous recipe book of subversion. All these political\r\ntreatises in varying forms are akin to the political novel The\r\nPrince<\/i> by Machiavelli, written in the 16th century which still\r\nforms the guide-book for modern statecraft, and that is the heart of\r\nthe matter – the principles of subversion espoused in them.\r\nJust as Machiavelli is read and followed in statecraft, so are any\r\nrecipe books which permit subverting the enemy, including the 2500\r\nyears old Chinese treatise of Sun Tzu, The Art of War<\/i>\r\n(read all these <\/span>works<\/span><\/u>).\r\n<\/span>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAnd\r\nlastly, in that same vein of subversion of a lofty religion for\r\nseeding havoc among its followers, the two articles Egypt\r\nand Tunisia – The 'arc of crisis' being radicalized!<\/u>\r\nand Unlayering\r\nthe Middle East War Agenda: Making Sense of Absurdities<\/u>,\r\ndelve into the more recent cultivation of the shia Iranian Revolution\r\nof yesteryear to connect with the present “revolutions”\r\nsuddenly erupting in the Middle East against the same tyrannical\r\nrulers who were previously aided and abetted to remain in power over\r\ntheir peoples just like Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Its juxtaposition to\r\nthe cultivation of the sunni “Mujahideens” in Afghanistan\r\nat exactly the same time period, both of them to fertilize the “arc\r\nof crisis”<\/i> with bipartisan Muslim blood, is frightening<\/span>\r\ntestimony of the persistence of vulnerable fracture points among the\r\nfollowers of Islam which are perennially ripe for harvesting. \r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe\r\nMuslim fratricide of Iran-Iraq war was only made possible by deftly\r\nemploying the age old historical schisms<\/span> of\r\nshia-vs-sunni, arming both sides and contriving the fratricide in\r\nuntold millions. That contrivance is a textbook example of game\r\ntheory<\/i> being put into practice for a global agenda. The effects\r\nof fertilizing the “arc of crisis”<\/i> in Muslim blood\r\npredictively percolated into enabling other premeditated global\r\nevents, ultimately setting into motion the creation of a New World\r\nOrder – of one world government.<\/span> Read\r\nthe aforementioned two articles to fathom the self-serving\r\nCassandra-like predictions made by Zbigniew Brzezinski right after\r\nlighting that fuse to what he prophetically (sic!) called the “arc\r\nof crisis”.<\/i> A fuller understanding of that epoch of the\r\nlatter half of the twentieth century minimally requires a book-length\r\nread which perceptively re-links the seemingly disparate and often\r\nunlinked antecedent and subsequent events, wars, collapses,\r\nrevolutions of the past century, melding directly into the searing\r\nevent of the New Pearl Harbor on September 11, 2001. See a précis<\/span>\r\nin Of\r\nOstriches and Rebels on The Hard Road to World Order<\/u>.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nWith\r\nthe preceding bird's eye view of the age old villainous methods of\r\nsubversion and harvesting of the religion of Islam from within, the\r\nfocus in this article is exclusively on the natural impediments to\r\nthe earnest study of the Holy Qur'an by a genuine seeker of its\r\nknowledge who willingly comes to the Book with an intent to learn its\r\ncontents.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nSo\r\nnow you open the Holy Qur'an to read, reflect, and study, with a\r\ncleansed heart,<\/i> Muslim or non-Muslim, native Arabic speaker or\r\nreading many translations in your own language alongside. Common\r\nimpediments now make the study of the Holy Qur'an uncongenial to the\r\nordered mind. Let's dissect that uncongeniality<\/span>\r\nwith a surgeon's<\/span> scalpel. The result is not\r\nas obvious as it might first appear. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
