Terrorism is not exclusive to any nation. Will America and Europe reconsider their patronage of terrorism? The whole world has condemned the crime to which America was subjected. But on the sidelines of the Universal condemnation there appeared a number of questions that highlighted certain facts including America's role in giving birth to terrorism. It is hoped that she has waken up from her carelessness and arrogance having seen that crime were committed when the nose of her intelligence and security services. Why was America the target? This question was put out by naive American citizens who perhaps do not know what their government has committed, and continue to commit against many nations in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Those nations have suffered, and continue to suffer, the injustices of American policy, which has caused the death of millions of people and have brought despair, and consequently blind terrorism to many groups. The policies of successive American administrations are lacking in justice. They only put their interests above the rights of others. Those policies are distant from realities of nations as they are allied to the lucky rulers who carry out America's will and in return receive support in their suppression of their people in spite of all the banners of human rights held by America. So now, the lists of suspects announced but America contains subjects of Ameriaca's allies. Though America has announced that there are all over the world some 130 organisations whom she considers as terrorists, the fact remains that U.S officials, congressmen and media have attempted from the first instant of the occurrence of the crime to stick the culpability onto Arabs and Muslims. And as some Arabs or Muslims names were found on the passenger lists of the four unfortunate planes, the "framing" was transformed "dead certainty". The thing to which the Super power and the European Union States should be alerted to is that instead of barging on the drums of war and making threats, they should reconsider what they have planted themselves by supporting and protecting fanatics and terrorists. There are Arab and Muslim rulers who are indifferent to the rights and welfare of their subjects and carry on the most awful kinds of government under false legends and with the aid of empty propaganda, loud drums... corruption... and cover up over the misdeeds of the corrupt and corruptors. Cover up over all kinds of excess and the control of a number of families over the revenues of states and bequeathing the reins of governments to their siblings. And so on and so further. Who did establish fanaticism in Afghanistan? The training arms, and funding which were offered by the U.S and their allies are responsible for the creation of the fanaticism which had grown to the extent of exporting fanatics to many countries under the banner of Islam. What happened in Egypt and is still happening in Algeria are reminders of that... And were it not for the alertness and decisireness in Tunisia things could have happened there as they do in Algeria now. Yet France gives them safe haven and Britain allows them to have TV cannels and publications. The protection given by America and other European countries to the leaders of such groups is a long story. America now is set to compound her errors, as the Administration is under compulsion of recent events to give satisfaction to the American people by taking military action, having been urged to do so by calls of the media for revenge. -2- There is no doubt that the perpetrators of the crimes deserve punishment, but to be hasty in the absence of evidence may lead to disasters and negative consequences for the whole world. America is keen not to bear responsibility of her actions and, therefore tries to gather a number of Arabs and Islamic States to collaborate in her actions against one or several innocent nations which had no hand in what have occurred. We demand that the leaders of America and Europe resort to sound judgement and consider the causes wisely and deliberately; to consider how and why fanaticisms were born and multiplies and veered off the tenets of all religions, especially Islam which forbids the killing of a human being unless he is tried in court of law and condemned of committing murder. Do reconsider the injustices you have committed and the patronage you give to tyrants who do not believe in the rights and freedoms of their nations. Some of those rulers conceal their dictatorships under a false veneer of democracy which is in fact based on forgery, regular looting of their people's fortunes. All these things must be reconsidered so that genuine democracies which respect the of law and endeavour to ensure the future and welfare of the citizens, might arise. Corruption and suppression are fundamental roots for the birth of fanaticism. Therefore do consider fair alliances and discontinue your injustices. And bear in mind that when an individual feels desperate and frustrated and loses hope of any reforms, he resorts to revenge, and it could be a blind revenge of terrorism, because of the fact that you are the protectors of the tyrants. Israel is a base for breeding fanatics because of the crimes against humanities which commits ...killings and destruction on a daily basis. All her leaders are like Sharon. All of them since Israel was established to this day have committed massacres, killed prisoners, confiscated Palestinian properties, desecrates Muslims holy places. America has supported them...supplies them with the planes used in strafing unarmed Palestinians. Injustice breeds injustice. Israel is the main source for the creation of fanaticism. Therefore beware the Zionists attempts to exploit you. They are the source of terrorism. This is a very serious matter. Every human being all over the world looks towards a remedy for terrorism and fanaticism, which are opposed to all religions. Open your doors for thinkers, writers and intellectuals to discuss ways to find peaceful solutions instead suppressions, wars and the use of your forces to hit nations as what happened to Serbia, Bosnia and Chechnya. These matters can be resolved not by war, tanks, but by uprooting their causes. We are at the beginning of a new century which should be the age of peaceful, enlightened and fraternal relations, and not the era of 8 nations controlling all the resources of poor nations. If you do not resort to wisdom, there will be more and worse scope for fanaticism. The grief of victims cannot be assuaged by more killings. Common sense and enlightenment should prevail if you want security, progress and peace for your nations. Justice and an end to exploitation and respect for the choice of nations, fighting poverty and corruption... These are the cures. ------------------------ Yahoo!
