A Saga of Myths [Archives:2006/931/Community]

US peace activist Cindy Shehan, who's son died in Iraq, is forcefully handcuffed and jailed for wearing a t-shirt captioned “2245 Dead, How Many More?” In Austria British historian David Irving is imprisoned for denying the Holocaust. Eleven countries that include Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Poland Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland forbid by law any rejection of the Holocaust. In Poland's secular governmental system, research teams are barred from investigating the actual scale of the Holocaust.
And in countries like Denmark where caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) are published, offending 1.2 billion Muslims around the world. It doesn't take much to realize that Freedom of Speech is a myth propagated by secular ideology.
Unfortunately, this is not the only myth
One knows Democracy is yet another myth tooted by capitalist ideologies when the superpowers of the world boast and express their desire to see democracy prevail by shamefully indulging in colonial rampage as they force democracy at the point of gun barrels in Iraq and Afghanistan. All this while they proudly reserve the right to “veto” the world's opinion within the United Nations.
The hodgepodge trend doesn't end there
It should be noted that those who initiated the savage War on Terror for the sake of the world's security are themselves the leading world dealers and exporters of arms. These superpowers are the UK, France, the US, Russia and China.
The only five members of the UN Security Council. Quickly you realize the fallacy found in the “peace talks” and the “peace process” initiated in the United Nations by these same superpowers.
Let us not forget the iron grip of international monetary institutions like the IMF and the WB who hold hostage the Third World by their luring ruling factions to take loans that are then lavishly spent, thereby placing entire countries within whirlpools of debts and exorbitant loan interests. All to be paid through the noses of the poor.
This sad saga continues
The so called civilized modern world seems to be satanically oblivious of starvation and hunger as it strikes repeatedly across various regions in Africa, while they dump surplus food into the ocean to maintain “fair” market share prices in their favor. Add to this the “reserved rights” to patent technology and life saving drugs that make healthcare sound affordable for the elite, yet poses as a mere distant hope for the poor who are forced to cling to the “generous donations” of these hoarders of knowledge.
This sorry state of worldly affairs only affirms the perpetual flaws inherent in the present dominant ideological systems.
Therefore the need not only arises but becomes of vital necessity for our people to revive a pure Islamic Caliphate. A system tried and tested through the sands of time, compatible with the tunes of all ages, and rooted in the infinite Wisdom of the Divine.
