The Media World: The Other Battle Front
13-05-2008
Modern wars are fought on various battlefronts, not least
on the media front. The media has continued to insist on things that are
absolutely not true, twisting facts, repeating lies and manipulating public
opinion in order to support their wrong cause. Media reports and presentations
of events in areas of conflict such as in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, etc. are
biased and slanted to such an extent that we do not get a correct picture of
what is happening.
Embedded journalists cannot know the war from the other side, nor can they
report it objectively, even if they know the truth. The news we receive from the
global fake news industry has nothing to do with news. The actual news exists,
but hidden behind web sites that only the US Governmentals – and those with a
“special relation” have an access. World media is controlled by the rich and
powerful countries of the world, and it is only natural that their interests are
safeguarded in the featuring of news stories. Hype, slant, and spin are the
order of the day in the media world.
The stone throwing by the Palestinian teenagers or the “suicide” attacks they
launch against the Israelis, as part of their Intifada, are terrorist attacks.
But then, the cold-blooded massacre of hundreds of Arab men, women and children
in Deir Yassin, by Menachem Begin - who won the “Nobel Prize for Peace” - and
the calculated genocide perpetrated in Sabra Shatila, under the direction of
Ariel Sharon - “the man of peace” - are not terrorist acts… Naturally, people
are perplexed!
In Iraq, people who used to be victims of Saddam Hussein are ruthlessly
bombarded with depleted uranium bombs and cluster bombs to implement
"democracy." It is interesting to see how US forces in Iraq are using Saddam's
own Abu Ghraib for this "purpose."
Any groups who want to fight against this so-called preemptive invasion are
depicted as terrorists who are "motivated by what God can give them in
paradise". This means that they are not fighting the invaders and occupiers, but
they simply wish to get rewards in the Islamic Paradise, eager to commit suicide
in the process!
Islam is presented as "Islamic fascism" or "terrorist Islam" in order to push
their imperialist agenda. And the real causes of the conflicts are blurred out.
This is the tragedy of the present day world which many ignores. How many people
are aware (if not care) about the following terrible facts in Iraq for example:
1. Million plus Iraqi women have become widows: their husbands are partly among
the 1.2 - 1.3 million Iraqis killed, another million missing and the 400,000
prisoners captured, held and tortured by the occupation forces.
2. Five million Iraqi children have lost their mother and father and become
orphans. Having their parents either dead, “lost”, jailed or forced to flee
leaving everything behind, they would count as one of the seven million refugees
or end up joining some Iraqi Resistance group fighting the illegal aggressors.
3. Currently, there are 10,000 Iraqi women prisoners. 95% of them are raped
systematically. Thus to kill them indirectly, because it’s highly probable they
would end up killing themselves due to unbearable psychological pressure. The
mercenaries whether military contractors (GI’s) or civilian ones (Mercenaries)
have been all too available for “personal motives”.
Of course these were not reported in the mainstream media, what they publish are
the occupation false flag operations to portray a
"civilian-targeting-suicide-bombing" strike and when there were actual martyrdom
operations that killed dozens of their soldiers, what they report, if any, was
the injury of just a couple of soldiers. Such was their habit because they are
an alleged empire based on the hireling lying media.
.
Having thus made our way through the treason of the corporate media phoney
coverage, we’ll notice soon enough that the holocaust of the Iraqi (as well as
Afghan and Palestine) people is executed under a huge, calculated media lie,
basically identical with the one preventing the German people really
understanding the scale and scope of the Nazi’s atrocities during the Second
World War (WW II).
.
Isn’t it ironic that the same people who were fighting the Nazis and those who
keep on telling the entire world that they were persecuted by the Nazis during
the WW II are now becoming the “Nazi” of today themselves, except the present
ones are more nifty that very few people seem to notice the terrible hypocrisy
and double standards followed by the so-called leaders of "civilized world”.
Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessing be upon him) warned us in his prophecy:
"The time of the Dajjal will be years of confusion. People will believe a liar,
and disbelieve one who tells the truth. People will distrust one who is
trustworthy, and trust one who is treacherous; and the ruwaybidha will have a
say." Someone asked: "Who are they?" He said: "Those who rebel against Allah and
will have a say in general affairs."
Thus insightful muslims know that this is one of the very important signs of the
End Times, when the practices of systems of unbelief and falsehood become
widespread as per the aforementioned hadith. A time near the Hour, when mercy is
overwhelmed by cruelty, truth by lies, transparency by camouflage, the world
seems to have forgotten what justice really is. By Allah's will, the time is
very near, so much so that it has become crucial for people to reflect upon this
matter seriously and take the only one road, the noble, honorable path chosen by
the God's Angels on Earth, the Lions of Islam, the Mujahideen. Without a doubt
Allah will send forth the truth to destroy falsehood through the path of Jihad
Fi Sabilillah on all battlefronts.
“And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is
(by its nature) bound to perish." (Qur’an 17:81)
Obviously those who commit crime upon crime refuse to be
called criminals, while innocent Muslims who are hounded as terrorists,
naturally refuse to take the blame of the blamers. The battle on the media front
between the two opposing qualities will continue and this only makes more people
rush into the comforting lap of Islam and find it as an ideological,
intellectual and political alternative to the crumbling ruling systems of today.
In the end empires that epitomizes lies, camouflage, cruelty and injustice will
crumble under its own pressure due to its nature fixed by the Most Just. Look
out; the Khilafah is around the corner... God's willing!
