Comment on Stephen Lendman: Islamofascist Rule in Egypt by sudhan

Dr Ibrahim Kazerooni wrote: Permit me to agree with the later part of your assessment, but disagree with the earlier distinction that Islam is a world religion but not a political….
If you mean that Islam does not include politics the way it defines it, I tend to disagree, if however you meant by creed and ideology the contemporary connotations used in IR, political philosophy etc. that is different

As far as you asseememt of MB in Egypt etc. you are right on

Nasir Khan wrote: Dr Kazerooni, I welcome your insightful comment. In fact, I had written my short comment as an introductory piece to Stephen Lendman’s article. Those who do not know Lendman may see him to be against Islam and Muslims. But he is one of the staunchest supporters of Muslim countries that have been subject to U.S. wars of aggression and colonial exploitation. He continues to lay bare the deceptive propaganda and militaristic policies of U.S. imperialism and stands for the rights of the Muslim people. In this article he had shown some simple facts about Morsi and the political agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Among those who have been vociferous representatives of Islamic polity based on ‘Islamic ideology’ are the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) of Pakistan whose influence extended to India, Kashmir, Bangladesh, etc. JI as a well-organised political party has been a leading force of reaction within Pakistan and has led long campaigns against democratic organisations and progressive forces. At this critical juncture, MB and President Morsi, a manoeuvring leader of the MB, pose a real danger to Egyptian people’s struggle that had started two years ago to topple the pro-Zionist puppet Mubarak and his corrupt system.

The question about the role of politics within the teachings of Islam is a vast and complex theme. At present I will leave that untouched because of the lack of time. But to leave Islam and Islam’s political and cultural heritage in the hands of MB and the likes of JI where these reactionaries impose and will continue to impose their versions of ‘Islamic political system’ on the masses should be totally unacceptable to those who stand for people’s democracy and universal declaration of human rights.

Islam is a world religion, not a political creed or political ideology. Those who misuse or abuse the name of Islam (Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami, etc.) for their sordid objectives of gaining political power and using Islam as a totalitarian ideology are political manipulators and enemies of freedom of conscience and democratic norms. In their hands Islam becomes a tool of oppression, virtually Islamofascism.

Comment on Resolving the Kashmir Conflict by sudhan

Thank you Sudeshna for your comment. But I’m not sure if you have read my article! In fact, I had described the historical context of the Kashmir conflict in non-sectarian and non-communal terms and had hoped that my suggestions to resolve the conflict will find a positive response in New Delhi, Islamabad and Srinagar. I hope young people like you will get interested in the matter and try to stand for human rights and the right of the poeple of Jammu and Kashmir to self-determination.

We all know the history , we all know the present… instead of debating who is right and who is wrong why not discuss the solution to it??? And why not start from here itself…

Comment on Agent Orange Continues to Poison Vietnam by Children in Violent Conflicts in Vietnam: Recommendations | TReMS

Children in Violent Conflicts in Vietnam: Recommendations | TReMS — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:32:33 +0000

[...] An estimated 3 million Vietnamese people were killed in the war, which also claimed 58,000 American lives. For many other Vietnamese and U.S. veterans and their families, the war continues to take its toll. Several treaties the United States has ratified require an effective remedy for violations of human rights. It is time to make good on Nixon’s promise and remedy the terrible wrong the U.S. government perpetrated on the people of Vietnam . Congress must pass legislation to compensate the Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange as it did for the U.S. Vietnam veteran victims (M.,Cohn, 2009). [...]

Comment on The Re-Election of Barack Obama by Dedetizadora Ribeira (@ddribeira)

Barack Obama won by a small difference of individual votes. This demonstrates dissatisfaction with his rule of almost half of the American people. I’m hoping, however, for Obama to take the reins of the economy, because U.S. growth produces positive effects in Brazil and much of the world.

Thank you,
