VISITING "THE PROTOCOLS"
VISITING "THE PROTOCOLS"
When an international mass circulation magazine like The Reader's Digest decides to run an article on the documents generally known as The Protocols, in which Eric Butler and The League of Rights are critically mentioned, there must be a purpose. About the same time as The Reader's Digest article, which basically regurgitates the view that these documents are either a forgery or a fabrication, the Oxford University Press released a publication, The Right Road, by Dr. Andrew Moore, senior lecturer in Australian history at the University of Western Sydney.
Moore's work is subtitled "A History of Right-Wing Politics in Australia", but its clear purpose is to suggest that it is "The Australian League of Rights" which is the main threat to what is termed "liberal democracy". Eric Butler receives special attention, it being claimed that he exercises considerable international influence. Blatant misrepresentations of the Social Credit movement and historical events are masked by what purports to be a carefully documented academic study.
We will not at this time attempt to analyze either The Reader's Digest article on The Protocols or Moore's work, The Right Road. But by coincidence we have recently received an article from a Canadian, Peter L. Lorden of Calgary, who offers some comments on The Protocols, which are appropriate:
It has been generally asserted for many years past that a document called The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a forgery. Supposedly a report of speeches given at the 1897 First Zionist Congress in Basle, it pictures an international Jewish conspiracy to undermine Christian institutions and pave the way for world domination. Gerald Krefetz remarked in his 1982 Jews and Money; the Myths and the Reality that the Protocols - "apparently the plagiarized concoction of a Russian religious mystic"- had long since been discredited as propaganda promoted by the Czarist secret police to justify their own anti-Semitism.
Yet if so long discredited, why have they become what he calls the most successful piece of propaganda in the twentieth century? "For a spurious document", says Krefetz, "it has had a remarkably long and influential life." Could this be due simply to continuing anti-Semitism? Indeed, it is hard to see how this document could have been a genuine record of speeches at the Congress. Would people clever enough to engineer such a global conspiracy as the Protocols reflect have been dumb enough to let an outsider take notes of their proceedings, let alone live to publish them? And is such a plot any more credible now than it was then? The recent decline of some big Jewish houses, coupled with the emergence of wealthy Asian conglomerates, seems rather to spoil the picture for those inclined to fantasize about an unstoppable international conspiracy guided only by Jewish financiers!
A book which became a best seller in 1972---None Dare Call It Conspiracy, by Gary Allen shows in some detail how the had simultaneously financed both the Soviet Union (page 71) and the Third Reich (page 85), like people fattening birds for a cock-fight. The book is quite even-handed. While it indicts such Jewish luminaries as Rothschild, Warburg and Schiff's Kuhn Loeb and Company, it also assigns prominent roles to many Gentile houses, including and Rockefeller's.
David Rockefeller seems to have had a finger in everything. many famous names in politics, Nixon and Kissinger, were alumni of his system, whose imperial reach was by NO means confined to the United States. (Apparently the surest way to wealth and power is on the coattails of a man who already has these things and will "look after" you so long as you do his bidding. Kruschev's downfall seems to have come about when he stopped doing it). How closely Jewish and Gentile "insiders" worked together is shown throughout the book. Chase Manhattan Bank, for instance, was formed by merging Warburg and Rockefeller units. And a roster of blue-chip American corporations, along with prominent politicians of both parties, joined the "insiders" in the immensely influential Council for Foreign Relations (page 88).
Though Allen's predictions have failed so far, his book makes a compelling case for the existence of a conspiracy -or at least a close working relationship between financiers of international clout. And it seems likely that an even greater centralization of money-power in the Western world has occurred since 1972. But isn't that inevitable given the current globalization? As to his thesis that the ultimate aim of the "insiders" was to create a totalitarian World Government in which they would control everything as a spider sitting in the center controls his web, we should note that co-operation between international financiers today -whatever it may have been in the past - is not necessarily of evil intent. And that a great many other people have long since come to see some kind of world government as a necessary goal. The next big war may be about who gets to control it!)
What light does Allen's book, throw on the Protocols? A negative one, it would seem, in as much as he shows Gentile interests to have as much clout as the Jewish. Yet the Protocols are not to be dismissed so easily. For if they are false un one sense, a reader cannot help feeling that they are genuine in another! What makes them seem genuine is that they are not at all what one would expect from "a Russian religious mystic". They show too deep an understanding both of Gentile weaknesses familiar to us all and of the sort of mind set which might ruthlessly exploit them for sectarian gain. Fictional or not, they were written by somebody who knew very well the kind of men whose utterances they supposedly report. They express a wealth of hard-headed insight in a tone of arrogant superiority which is not unfamiliar to us either. We cannot quarrel with the comment of Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent - which publicized the Protocols in America around 1921 -that the work was "too terribly real for fiction, too well-sustained for speculation, too deep in its knowledge of the secret springs of life for forgery".
Then who did write the Protocols? We may never know that, but it seems improbable that either a mystic or a bigoted Russian policeman could have come up with an analysis so penetrating, and so unfailingly prophetic. "Spurious" the document may be, historically speaking. But as anyone familiar with current events will instantly recognize, many passages in it show a remarkable prescience.
That a document first published un 1905 should have predicted the collapse of European monarchies, the Bolshevik Revolution and World Wars yielding little change in territory but a big one un the map of international finance is surprising enough. That it should also have anticipated a Great Depression caused by the arbitrary cutting-of credit, the resurgence of Israel, the current squeeze on countries with large external debt - and even hinted at today's explosion in "derivatives:" trading----has to impress any thoughtful reader. ("That's some "mystic"! Or he might echo the comment made in 1921 by Ford himself: "The only statement I have to make about the Protocols is that they fit into what has gone on in the world situation these sixteen years,. They fit it now.)
Since discourse in the Protocols is often disjointed, we have taken the liberty of grouping quotations (from Victor Marsden's 1934 edition) in what seems a logical order of subject. We have also tried to minimize the more offensive ones. Contemptuous references to goyim (the unfortunate Talmudic term for Gentiles, meaning cattle) are scattered throughout the work, as indeed one might expect if the author were a propagandist determined to present a malign image of Jewry. One might have preferred to omit such racism altogether, along with utterances more interesting to students of religious pathology than to the general reader. But the purported speaker's ultimate aim to see "the King-Despot of Zion as Patriarch of the World, is so central to the work that excluding it would give a wholly false impression. For those who ignore that side (as one can easily do by substituting Untermenschen for goyim and some other ideology for the Mosaic), the fascination of the document lies in its Machiavellian practicality, (its being virtually a manual for would-be dictators is probably why Adolf Hitler knew it so well.)
The document opens with a flat statement that all "rights" other than that of "might" are vacuous, that "freedom" is an empty word, and absolute despotism the only sensible form of government.
"The political has nothing in common with the moral . . . Our right lies in force . . . Violence must be the principle and a cunning make-believe the rule if we are to bring all governments into subjection to our super government."
"The French Revolution was wholly the work of our hands. . .We were the first to cry among the masses the words Liberty, Equality Fraternity', since many times repeated by stupid poll-parrots. This helped us to destroy the natural aristocracy of the goyim, on whose ruins we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. . . Our subordinate agents are boring away at the last remnants of goy authority, striving to overthrow all established forms of order. . .
"We have advertised sedition-mongers as martyrs for the common good, though none will be permitted under our rule. This has brought many liberals into the ranks of our 'cattle'. .
"Having used this freedom-shibboleth,we shall erase that word from the lexicon; when we come into our kingdom. Freedom of the Press, of speech, of association and conscience must disappear forever . . We define freedom as the right to do that which the law allows; this serves our aim very well, for we shall make the laws!"
"For our purpose, wars must not result in territorial gain, the true battlefield will be the economic. Our international rights will then wipe out national rights."
"We need an intensified centralization of government to facilitate our control . . . We must so ferment things that the peoples of the world will eventually cry out for one global government. . . Useless changes of government to which we instigated the goyim in undermining their state structures will have so disheartened the people that they will suffer serfdom under us rather than go backward. . . One-third of our subjects will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty. . . The goyim are a flock of sheep and we are their wolves.
"Though we have sacrificed many of our people in pursuit of the goal of world-government, it has paid us. Each victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim.
"Our aim must be to debilitate the public mind by continually fomenting contradictory opinions and thus distract it from serious reflections which might cause resistance to our aims. . . Let the goyim be bewildered, for there is nothing so dangerous as personal initiative!"
"So that the true meaning of things shall not strike the goyim until the proper time, we shall mask it under an alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes. . If any States raise a protest against us, it is only pro forma and by our direction, for their anti Semitism is indispensable to us for the management of our lesser brethren.
"The Press is already in our hands. Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. This we have already attained in large part through our control of those agencies by which all news items must pass. . . We shall put out our own journals, disguised as coming from elsewhere so that readers will in effect be following the flag we hang out for them; these will even be allowed to feign attacks on us, to convince people they are reading a free press.... Let them discuss themselves silly!"
"Distraction is one of our principal aims -through amusements gambling and games of all kinds. . . have we not very successfully turned the brainless heads of the goyim with 'progress' a fallacious idea except in terms of material invention, for truth is one and there can be no place in it for progress? "Progress" serves to obscure the truth so that none may know it except ourselves, the Chosen of God, its guardians."
"When we come into our Kingdom, ;it will be undesirable that there should exist any religion other than ours. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief . . . We have long taken care to discredit the priesthood of the goyim, whose influence falls lower day by day. But no one will ever bring our faith under discussion from its true point of view, since only we shall know that."
"We have bemused and corrupted the youth of the goyim by rearing them in principles and theories we know to be false.
"To destroy every collectivism except ours, we shall emasculate the universities. . . banning classical history and erasing from the memory of the goyim all historical facts unfavorable to us."
"To discourage independent thinking, our subjects will be schooled only for the occupations allotted to them. . . Students shall not busy themselves with questions of polity in which even their own fathers never had any power of thought."
"We shall choose goy administrators on their capacity for servile obedience. :"
"Ours is an invisible force, for which Gentile Freemasonry unknowingly serves as a screen. . . The aims of our organization of secret masonry are not even suspected by these goy cattle attracted to it."
"We shall multiply Masonic Lodges as a means of gathering under our eye all those goyim who (promise to become prominent in public activity), particularly all agents of international police, for these are useful both to enforce and to screen our activity. We puff up their foolish egotism, their need for any little success, in order to keep them in line, for these tigers in appearance have the souls of sheep . . They are incapable of the analysis and observation required for foresight, hence the inevitable subjection to ours of the brute mind of the goyim.
"Who will ever suspect that all these people have been stage managed by us according to a political plan which no one has guessed at these many centuries?"
"Capital must be free to establish monopolies so that its leaders shall have political force."
"By centralizing in our own hands the money-power of the world, we can throw all goyim into the ranks of the proletariat . . The goy aristocracy benefited by having their people healthy and strong, we are interested in just the opposite."
"Hunger creates the right of capital to rule the worker. By want and envy and the hatred it engenders we shall move the mob. . . This hatred will be further magnified by the effect of an economic crisis, which will stop dealings on the changes and bring industry to a standstill. By creating this crisis we shall throw upon the street whole mobs of workers simultaneously in all the countries of Europe."
"We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists, bankers and millionaires, because in substance everything will be settled on the basis of figures."
"We must tear out of goyim heads the very principle of Godhead, replacing it with arithmetical calculation and material needs . . We must put industry on a speculative basis, for in that is our strength.
" Economic crises have been produced by us through the goyim by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation Huge pools of capital have stagnated, forcing States to borrow from them and thus become their bond-slaves.. . in twenty years, a State which has borrowed money at 5% has paid the whole sum in interest without reducing the debt. . . The State is thus forced to impoverish its masses in order to pay off rich foreigners. Why could those stupid goyim not have taken the money they needed from their own people.
"Goy governments could play tricks with internal loans but not the external, for they know that we shall demand all our money back."
(Wow! If a "Russian religious mystic" so long ago could show this good a grasp of money matters, maybe we should try to get one for our next Minister of Finance!)

against
Radio Islam
By cunning and any other means Israel constantly tries to divert attention from the Jewish occupation of Palestine and from the dominance exerted by Jewish power over the western states. A group of militant Zionists at Stockholm University have thus "revealed" - in an opinion poll financed by Jewish organizations in Sweden - that 34 % of Swedish junior high school students doubt that the Holocaust has really taken place.
The result of the poll, which has been made a great feature of in Jewish-controlled media, caused panic in ruling circles. In the Swedish parliament immediate measures were demanded from the government, and in an emotionally tinged pronouncement the prime minister Göran Persson expressed his indignation and worry about the fact that only 66 % of the junior high school students acknowledged the existence of the Holocaust.
Since one of the more important goals of the educational system and the media is to make people believe in the story of the Holocaust and to achieve the one hundred percentage of believers demanded by the Jewish power, Göran Persson has promised to take quick steps to intensify the brainwashing of the junior high school students and citizens in general, and to shut the mouth of everybody, who spreads doubt about the reality of the Holocaust. The Swedish prime minister has also promised to distribute a video cassette about the Holocaust to the parents of all junior high school students, so that the former take their responsibility to educate their children in a Zionist spirit.
It should be no secret that the speeches of the Swedish prime minister are usually written by the strong man of the government, the Jew Leif Pagrotsky! Göran Persson's statement before the parliament struck the note for the media. The day after the meeting of the parliament the pro-Zionist Swedish newspaper Dagen wrote that "The Association of survivors fråm the Holocaust" has decided to stop Radio Islam and erect a big monument in memory of the Holocaust in front of the synagogue in Stockholm. In an interview in the same number of the newspaper the leader of the association, Jakob Ringart, declared it to be "a scandal that Ahmed Rami is allowed to continue denying the Holocaust in radio broadcasts on Swedish soil."
In an interview the same day in Swedish radio and TV one of the leaders of the Jewish lobby declared that the result of the poll was the fruit of broadcasts for years from Radio Islam, and that only Ahmed Rami can be happy about it today. Exactly a week after the pronouncement of the prime minister the Swedish attorney general decided to initiate legal proceedings against Radio Islam's home page on Internet. To the media it was given to understand that the whole dossier about this "affair" was to be classified as secret.
Since this legal action has been completely covered up and the attorney general refuses to give a statement, the Swedish television turned to a professor of law at Stockholm University. In his opinion "Ahmed Rami may be found guilty of disrespect for the Jewish people, even if his home page on Interbet is based in America.. As a Swedish citizen he is to be judged according to Swedish law."
The day after the decision to initiate legal proceedings against Radio Islam's home page on Internet Ahmed Rami received a bill concerning the broadcastings from Radio Islam, which sends 35 hours a week in various languages (among other things information from the persecuted Canadian history revisionist Ernst Zündel). According to the bill, Radio Islam is requested to pay 6000 Swedish crowns for the costs of the broadcasting at a tariff of 65 crowns for a quarter of an hour (there is a common sender for all the stations).
Radio Islam began sending on the 3rd of March 1987 and has never before been requested to pay for the transmissions except for the use of a telephone line connecting the studio with the sender! The chairman of the board of directors of this sender is an active member of a Zionist organization, and the signer of the bill (also a Zionist) is a member of a gay organization, which in its publications has repeatedly attacked Radio Islam.
These legal and financial persecutions of Radio Islam and its home page on Internet are not only directed against the person Ahmed Rami, who has already served a sentence of six months in jail for the expression of his views, but against the freedom of us all. Yesterday it was Zündel, today it is Rami. Who will be the next tomorrow?
It is high time to pass to concrete acts of solidarity across the geographical, ideological and religious boundaries. The powers of evil are acting on a global level in a total war to lay our planet under Jewish dominion. After showing their real face in Palestine they constantly advance their positions for the purpose of turning the whole world into a single large prison, guarded by a Jewish oligarchy!
Our civilization can only survive in a climate of freedom of thought and respect for fundamental human rights. All religions, ideologies and political systems should not deny an opposition the right to exist. The totalitarian Zionism of today is the only ideology that systematically wants to make the very existence of an opposition a criminal offence! Before we can coexist, we must first be able to exist. That right is denied those who are opposed to the Jewish domination. This fanaticism and obscurantism is a serious threat against our civilization and against world peace. Each one of us should do something concrete to defend freedom!
The "Jewish Defense League"´s
propaganda and terrorism
against Radio Islam and against Internet:
------------------------------------------
[From the homepage of the jewish terrorist and racist organisation " Jewish Defense League "]:
"
Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To this jewish terrorism and propaganda, Radio Islam´s answer:
Complaints about Radio Islam
and "Radio Islams Uppslagsverk", ("The Encyclopedia of Radio Islam") .
The Radio Islam´s abbc.net-domain containes 15 different homepages withe one common slogan:
no hate, no violence.
Race? Only one Human race.
Radio Islam, was created as a reaction to today's realities in the Middle East in general, and the Palestinian tragedy specifically.
The conflict in Palestine is not between Semites and anti-Semites, but between occupation and the resistance against this occupation, between right and wrong, justice and injustice.
It concerns the people living in the Middle east but the rest ofd the world in involved too, as we have seen in many circumstances.
Our conviction is that we, in this issue, are fighting for justice. And one shouldn't forget that Arabs are also Semites.
The homepage of Radio Islam is now available in ten (10) different languages. We have the same messages and contents in each of these languages
The complaints are not spontaneous but are just a part of a political campaign trying to circumvent and destroy free speech.
The aim is to to shut down our homepage.
Do these complaints contain any specific quotes from the document or any translation of those passages that they have found offending?
We believe we can justify and provide evidence for everything we have written.
If anything wrong may be found in our texts, then, of course, we are quite prepared to aknowlege a mistake and correct it in due time.
For our part we say with firmness:
1 )There is no "incitement of violence" in the homepages of Radio Islam.
2) On our homepage, which is outspokenly anti-racist, there can be found nothing that can be considered racist or xenophobic.
3) Concerning the document "The Encyclopedia of Radio Islam":
The purpose of this "Encyclopedia" is to provide a kind of short dictionary of varġous public persons, debaters, politicians, subjects, events, ideologies and organizations that are of current interest in the debate on the Middle East and are being treated in the home page. That certain persons mentioned are Jews is significant in the same meaning as if they had been Palestines and has nothing to do with racism.
Without Judaism no Zionism, without Zionism no Israel, and Israel is an occupant.
Those who support Israel take a politcal position to the question.
Persons mentioned have been selected, scrutinized or criticized not because of their ethnic origin but because of their ideological and political activities.
a)The Encyclopedia of Radio Islam constitutes a kind of index in alphabetical order to subjects mentioned in the material published in Radio Islam's homepage, with links to these specific subjects. (For instance anyone seeing the name Roger Garaudy in the encyclopedia , can be linked from the encyclopedia to material published by this French writer).
b)The Encyclopedia is not "a list of persons", Jews or non-Jews, but a kind of short dictionary which will contain all the subjects; facts, events, organizations, persons involved in the Middle East debate or in some way connected to the conflict in Palestine, definitions, even newspapers are mentioned there.
c) Persons mentioned in this encyclopedia have been chosen not because of their ethnical origin, but because of their political ideology and POLITICAL position regarding the Palestine question, as POLITICAL actors, i. e. , in this encyclopedia, you'll find both Jews and non-Jews, Zionists and anti-Zionists.
d)What we do have in the English section of Radio Islam's homepages is a list of Jews working in the Clinton administration - the document called "Clinton´s List". But they are mentioned there not because they are Jews, but they are mentioned there because we believe that the Jewish lobby in the US has created a concentration of power which we believe is troublesome to the democracy of that country and dangerous for the peace in the Middle East.
But there is no way this listing of politically active Zionists can be considered as "an incitement to violence" against these persons.
It is a political analysis which has been made by many observers, including Israeli newspapers.
e)The inspiration for creating "The Encyclopedia of Radio Islam" has been the thorough Palestinian masterpiece "The Encyclopedia of the Palestine Question" as well as the leading Jewish source - "The Encyclopaedia Judaica".
f)If our political opponents are of a different view, they should have to prove their point by giving precise examples, like correct translated quotes from the documents, for instance.
Just the fact that they don't agree with our political views should not allow them to deprive us of our human right of freedom of speech.
What it really is all about, is the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to let freedom of speech rule over the Internet.
This decision was met with anger by the jewish ruling circles in many European countries.
The tragic reality is this; freedom of speech is almost non-existent in many European countries.
We hope that censorship will not prevail over the content of our or any other homepages.
It is the situation in the Middle East that is very much inflamed - the parties concerned in the debate and the conflict only reflect the real polarization.
To the Palestinians and Muslims the Zionists appear to be the Nazis of today.
To the victims of Zionism this ideology is not experienced as something positive, but rather as a symbol of evil.
We removed the Encyclopediain from our homepage in order to avoid all misunderstanding.
We are a group of young people, who have got to know each other through Internet, and we have decided to use our freedom of speech by engaging ourselves in the Palestine question and the struggle against Jewish racism.

ISLAM AND REVOLUTION
To proclaim "Allahu
akbar" ( God is the greatest )
is to relativise all
POWER, all POSSESSION and all KNOWLEDGE.
Before this cry of belief, we
have seen in history the arms of the most insolent armies lowered and
blunted.
1. Islam is the fundamental religion since God "has breathed into him of His spirit" (Qur'an,XV:29) - i.e. from the time of Adam until today.
There is no "fodamentaliste", "moderate", occidental Islam any more than there is no Black African Islam or Arab Islam or Indian Islam or Indonesian Islam.
There is only one Islam.
This is the one that the Qur'an calls the "The Sunnah of God", the continuation of the prophetic revelations and the last message, --
that of Muhammad.
Our first task is to attest our Islamic belief by living it in its universality, and not to defend a particular folklore or any traditions.
He came to remind all people of the primordial Religion:
Say ye:"We believe in God, and the
revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, and
the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given
to (all) Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference
between one and another of them: and we bow to God (in
Islam)." (Qur'an,II:136, also
III:84)
The Prophet Muhammad was sent by God to confirm the previous messages, to purify them from historical alterations to which they were subjected and to complete them.
Our belief will be impoverished if we proclaim our religion as the best simply because we ignore all the others.
Seclusion, self-confinement, pretension and
"selfsufficiency" are at present the major obstacles preventing the
enlightenment of Islam to reach the non- Muslim world.
The principle of community is the opposite of individualism which implies that man (as an individual) is the center and measure of everything. In the Islamic perspective of Community, everybody has an awareness of being personally responsible for all others.
Humanity is ONE, because God, its Creator, is ONE. All men have the same origin and are created for the same end.
The Responsibility. Islam is the opposite of fatalism and resignation.
It is the constant appeal for resisting all oppression because it excludes any submission other than to the will of God and holds man responsible for the accomplishment of the divine order on earth.
Everything on earth is subjected to the Law of
God;(the word Muslim means submitting to God) the stone in its fall,
the treee in its growth, the animal in its instincts, all submit to
the Law of God.
Man alone has the tremendous privilege of the
power of disobediance.
If one becomes a "Muslim'', i.e. if one unconditionally responds to the call of God by one's supreme sacrifice, then one becomes a Muslim by virtue of a voluntary, free and responsible act.
When God says in the Qur'an :
"Let there be no compulsion in religion : Truth stands out clear
from error : whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped
the most trustworthy hand hold, that never breaks. And God Heareth
and knowth all things. ''
(Qur'an,II,256)
it is not only a matter of excluding physical or military or police
compulsion, but any compulsion, even of the self or the spiritual :
the Qur'an underscores :
" Say, `The truth is from your Lord ' : let him who will, believe,
and let him who will, reject (it) ...
''(Qur'an,XVIII,29).
The Qur'an tells us that God has made of man His successor,
"Khalif'', on earth. ( A "Khalif'' is not a subordinate and passive
executive; he is a responsible manager, charged with making
decisions. This function is not confined to some individuals : it is
the mission of every Muslim.
"Then fight in God's cause - Thou art held
responsible only for thyself''
(IQur'an,V,84).
"Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its
deeds''(Qur'an,LXXIV,38).
To proclaim
"ALLAHU
AKBAR'' ( God is the greatest ) is
to relativise all POWER, all POSSESSION and all
KNOWLEDGE.
Before this cry of belief, we have seen in history the arms of the most insolent armies lowered and blunted.
Thousands of men and women in the world,
whatever their belief may be, if loving the future, are becoming
aware that the Western civilisation has declared its bankruptcy, and
that if we give in to its drive, it leads us to a global suicide.
In 1985 , 700 billion dollars have been spent on armaments. The great powers have actually stocked the equivalent of more than one million bombs of the Hiroshima type.
That bomb of Hiroshima killed 70,000 persons in
one instant.
This means that as of today, it is technically possible to annihilate
70 billion human beings, which is more than 10 times the total human
species !
For the first time, since the three million
years of human cavalcade, it has become technically possible to
destroy every trace of life on earth.
This technical possibility is strangely enough called :
"progress'' !
Still more strangely it is called : "peace''; this is an "
equilibrium of terror '' between the "great" powers .
The relations between the North and the South are equally established on a demeaning basis.
The sequences of colonialism and the persistent unequal exchange have lead to the following scandal :
The United States is limiting its wheat production, and the European cold storages cannot accomodate any more the surplus of meat and butter, while in the rest of the world, in 1985, 80 million human beings have died from starvation and malnutrition.
The indebtedness of the so-called "third world'' is aggravating year after year, and the burden does not stop increasing : the North is becoming more and more rich and the South more and more poor.
The profound cause of this Western policy since what is called the "Renaissance'', i.e. since the simultaneous birth in Europe in the 16th century of capitalism and colonialism, is the abandonment of belief in the absolute values.
Once a community stops recognising absolute values as its guide in action, nothing remains but the confrontations of desires for material growth.
It is the war of all against all, and the West is given over to it. Its real religion is the blind belief in a hidden god : growth, i.e. the desire to produce more and more - at an accelerated speed, anything which is the most profitable of industries. This hidden god is a cruel god : it exacts human sacrifices.
What characterises this false god is that it exalts the sufficiency of man against the Transcendence of God, and individualism as against community.
"Sufficiency'' has been proclaimed since the "Renaissance" in "Faust" by Marlowe: "Man, by means of your powerful brains, become a god, the master and the lord of all elements''.
Individualism, since the so-called Renaissance, is the return to the sophist maxim of ancient Greece:"Man is the center and the measure of everything''.
This failure of civilisation has engendered a culture of despair.
The false prophets of the nil and the absurd, reflecting this chaos as if it were ineluctable and eternal, and instead of trying to overcome it, teach our youth that life has no sense.
If life has no sense, then everything, even crime, becomes permissible and we are dealt with all sorts of savage violence that flares among individuals, groups and nations. "The equilibrium of terror'' becomes the law of these savage relations among men on all levels of social life.
The negation of the sense of life and the existence of absolute values has led to making of science and technique - which are admirable MEANS in the service of man - ENDS in themselves, trying to make us believe that science and technique can solve all our problems, and that problems which do not relate to them, such as love, beauty and the meaning of life, do not exist.
This "religion of means" - forging MEANS into ENDS - i.e. creating false gods : science, technique, nation, money, sexuality and growth, has created a new polytheism and new superstitions, transforming science into scientism, technique into technocracy and politics into Machiavellism.
The fundamental problem is thus to restore to man his proper dimensions: the belief in the Transcendence of God, in human community and the awareness of our personal responsibility.
On the contrary, the two endemic principal obstacles against the present time spread of Islamic enlightenment are:
The "sufficiency" and ignorance of others. Early Islam had spread in less than one century from the Indus to the Pyrenees not by means of military conquest, but because it knew how to integrate all other great previous cultures, to draw from them an unprecedented creative synthesis, and because the millions of believers of all religions have identified themselves with it. Today, Islam cannot resume its course unless it is open to all wisdoms and all creeds that it can contain.
The "triumphalism" : meaning the mortal pretence of having complete ready-made answers, formulated one thousand years ago by its jurists and their traditions.
Saying that the Qur'an has ``omitted nothing'', means that it has given us eternal ``guidance'', that it has designated the ultimate and absolute ENDS of our actions. This does not exonerate in the least man's respon- sibility to discover, in each era, the MEANS to realise these ends.
To pretend that the Qur'an comprehends a complete ready-made economic system or political constitution or an encyclopedia, would be demeaningly reducing the eternal message to institutions or to passing theories.
The revealed message does bring infinetely much more : the ends, the eternal immutable orienting principles that guide our inner life and all our activities, public and private, in order to elaborate in every era the answers to the economic, political and cultural problems of our time by means of new insights into these eternal principles.
These principles are simple ones :
GOD ALONE
POSSESSES:
" ... all that is in heavens and on earth belongs to God ...''
(II,116 also II,284 and III,109
etc.).
Man is God's khalif on earth; he is comissioned to manage this property in the way of God and according to His directives.
This concept is contrary to that of the Roman
law which defines owner- ship as the "right to use and
abuse''.
Man, the responsible manager of the property of
God, cannot dispose of it according to his own desires : he cannot
destroy it according to his whims and caprices, he cannot squander it
or neglect it. Without ob- taining its usufruct trough his work, he
cannot accumulate it.
"...And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not
in the way of God : announce unto them a most grievous penalty ''
(IX,34).
One of the worst condemnations in the Qur'an is
that addressed to Abu- Lahab and to his wealth:
"Perish the hands of Abu-Lahab ! Perish he ! Neither his wealth,
nor his gains are of any avail to him!''
(Qur'an,CXI,1-2).
All Qur'anic prescriptions, especially Zakat,
being a social transfer of wealth as a religious requirement, and the
prohibition if Riba and un- earned incomes, i.e. the prohibition of
all increase of wealth without work in service of God, - all such
prescriptions tend to prevent the accumulation of wealth in one
sector of the society leaving another in misery.
God, in the Qur'an, radically excludes every social regime in which money establishes a political hierarchy.
God, on the contrary says without
equivocation:
"When We decide to destroy a people, We (first) send a definite
order to those among them who are given the good things of this life
and yet transgress ...''
(Qur'an,XVII,16).
GOD ALONE
COMMANDS:
The Prophet had created at Medina a radically new type of community.
It was not founded on blood or race, nor on ownership of land, nor on
market relations, nor even on common culture or history; in one word,
on nothing that flows from the past or could be an inherited
legacy.
It was a community exclusively founded on the belief: the un-
conditional response to the call of God of which Abraham had given
the eternal example.
Such a community is OPEN TO ALL without
consideration of origin.
For example, nothing is contrary to the spirit
of this Islamic "Ummah'' then the Jewish Western idea of
"nationalism'', i.e. of a market protected by the State and justified
by the racial, historical or cultural mytho- logy which tends to make
from the "nation '' an end in itself, and which contradicts the
concept of human unity (which concept is a particular aspect of
Tawheed - unity of God - the corner-stone of all the Islamic vision
of the world).
As well, the Qur'anic concept of "Shura''
(consultation) requires that, in every domain and on all levels, the
members of the community must be consulted in view of participating
under the sight of God, in the elaboration and application of the
decisions on which their destiny depends. This principle excludes at
once all despotism of one man, of one class or of one party, as well
as all forms of purely STATISTICAL, delegated and alienated
"democracy".
As for the economy, it is for us to discover the MEANS to attain these ENDS, to apply these immutable principles in the unprecedented historical conditions of our societies, combating the technocratic positivism, the political Machiavellism, the confrontations of archaic and perverse nationalisms, the unequal exchanges, the polarisations of blocs and the equlibrium of terror.
GOD ALONE KNOWS :
We must as well fend against the sterilizing triumphalism and the illusion that we can find in the past - without exerting effort for thinking and research - economic solutions to all our present time problems, or a ready-made political constitution.
Thus, it would be childish to reduce the Qur'an to nothing more than an encyclopedia that saves us the strenuous effort of scientific and technical research which made the Islamic world the center for radiating enlightenment to the world when the University of Cordova flourished.
Consequent upon an immense effort of translation and assimilation of all the great cultures of the past : of Greece and Rome, of Persia and India, and in compliance with the Islamic exhortation to seek knowledge "as far as China'', a genuine synthesis and an Oriental Culture were simultaneously born.
The basic principle is that as long as God alone possesses and God alone commands, God alone knows.
It is that which excludes the pharaonic pretention to usurp all God's powers or the illusion of keeping an absolute perfected knowledge which reaches out for the knowledge of the first causes and the ultimate finalities.
The example of the Islamic University of Cordova in the tenth century constitutes, from this point of view, a model of which it would be commendable to revive the spirit in order to develop, in our time, the sciences in such a manner that they are not harnessed for the destruction of man, but for his growth in the way of God.
From the Muslim University of Cordova, and from the 10th to the 13th centuries, rays of culture in its widest form have flooded three conti- nents :
- In SCIENCE: by creating therein the experimental method for discovering the relations of things among themselves and the sequence of causes.
- In WISDOM : such as the reflection on the meaning of everything in its relation to God in one harmonious world where life has a significance and an objective.
- In BELIEF : such as admitting that science will never reach the first cause, nor can wisdom reach the ultimate finality; belief as awareness of our limits and our postulates, and belief as reason without frontiers.
Such a concept of science and technique would enable us - and it is that which makes its actuality - to prevent all sciences and techniques from dragging us towards planetary suicide.
"Juderegister" eller uppslagsverk?
Klagomål över Radio Islam's uppslagsverk
Den av Radio Islams abbc.net innehåller 15 olika hemsidor med en gemensam paroll: Inget hat, inget våld, ingen rasism. Endast en ras av människor. Radio Islam upprättades som en reaktion på den allmänna situa-tionen i Mellanöstern och på den palestinska tragedin i synnerhet.
Konflikten i Palestina står inte mellan semiter och antisemiter, utan mellan ockupation och motstånd, mellan rätt och fel, rättvisa och orättvisa. Den angår de människor som bor i Mellanöstern, men resten av världen är också inblandad, som vi har sett vid många tillfällen. Det är vår övertygelse, att vi i den här frågan kämpar för rättvisa, och man får inte glömma, att araber också är semiter.
Radio Islams hemsida är nu tillgänglig på 10 olika språk. Vi har samma budskap och innehåll på vart och ett av dessa språk. De framförda klagomålen är inte spontana utan ingår bara i en politisk kampanj med syftet kringskära och avskaffa yttrandefriheten. Avsikten är att stänga vår hemsida.
Innehåller dessa klagomål några speciella citat ur dokumentet eller någon översättning av de ställen man har funnit stötande? Vi tror oss kunna rättfärdiga och ge bevis för sanningen i allt vi skrivit. Om några felaktigheter skulle påträffas i våra texter, är vi givetvis beredda att erkänna ett misstag och rätta till det i vederbörlig ordning.
För vår del hävdar vi med bestämdhet:
1) Det förekommer inte något "uppeggande till våld" på Radio Islams hemsida.
2) På vår hemsida, som är uttalat anti-rasistisk, finns det ingenting som kan betraktas som rasistiskt eller främlingsfientligt.
3) Beträffande dokumentet "Radio Islams uppslagsverk", så var dess syfte att tillhandahålla en liten förteckning över olika offentliga personer, debattörer, politiker, ämnen, händelser, ideologier och organisationer, som är av intresse i den aktuella debatten om Mellanöstern och som behandlas på hemsidan. Att vissa nämnda personer betecknas som judar, har ingenting med rasism att göra. Det sker på samma sätt som beteckningen palestinier används om andra människor.
Omnämnda personer har utvalts, granskats eller kritiserats inte på grund av sitt etniska ursprung utan på grund av sin politiska verksamhet, sin ideologi och sitt ställningstagande i palestinakonflikten. I uppslagsverket förekommer sålunda både sionister och antisionister, även om vi själva tar ställning både mot judendomen och sionismen. Utan judendomen skulle det nämligen inte finnas någon sionism, och utan sionismen skulle det inte finnas någon israelisk ockupationsmakt i Palestina.
I den engelska sektionen av Radio Islam's hemsida finns det en förteckning över judar som styr Clintons administration, ett dokument som kallas "Clinton's List". Men de nämns inte på grund av att de är judar, utan därför att den judiska lobbyn i USA enligt vår mening har skapat en koncentration av makt, som inte bara utgör ett hot mot demokratin i USA utan också mot freden i Mellanöstern.
Men det finns ingenting i våra förteckningar över aktiva sionister, som kan anses innebära "uppeggande till våld" mot dessa personer. Om våra politiska mot-ståndare är av en annan mening, då borde de bemöta oss i sak eller bevisa sina anklagelser genom att ge konkreta exempel i form av korrekta citat ur dokumenten. Enbart det faktum att de inte delar våra politiska åsikter borde inte ge dem rätten att beröva oss vår mänskliga rätt till yttrandefrihet.
Vad det hela rör sig om, är det i USA nyligen fattade beslutet i Högsta domstolen, att yttrandefrihet skall råda åven på Internet! Detta beslut förargade i hög grad de judiska styrande kretsarna i många europeiska länder. Den tragiska verkligheten är nämligen den, att yttrandefrihet nästan inte alls existerar i många europeiska länder. Vi hoppas verkligen, att innehållet i vår egen hemsida liksom det i andras hemsidor inte skall behöva underkastas den judiska censuren.
Det är situationen i Mellanöstern som är mycket inflammerad - vederbörande parter i debatten och konflikten återspeglar bara den verkliga polariseringen. För palestinierna och muslimerna framstår sionisterna som dagens nazister. Sionismens offer upplever inte denna ideologi som något positivt, utan snarare som en symbol för ondskan.
För att undvika allt missförstånd har vi emellertid tagit bort "uppslagsverket" från vår hemsida.
Vi är en grupp av ungdomar, som som bor i olika länder och lärt känna varandra genom Internet, och vi har bestämt oss att försvara yttrandefriheten genom att UTÖVA den och genom att engagera oss i palestinafrågan och kampen mot den judiska rasismen och alla andra former av rasism.

Komplott mot Radio Islam
Med list och alla andra medel försöker Israel - och Israels agenter - ständigt att vända bort uppmärksamheten från den judiska ockupationen i Palestina och från den illegitima dominans och politiska ockupationen, som den judiska makten utövar över de västerländska staterna.
En grupp militanta sionister vid Stockholms universitet har sålunda i en av de judiska organisationerna i Sverige beställd och finansierad opinionsundersökning "avslöjat", att 34 % av högstadieeleverna i svenska skolor "betvivlar" att "Förintelsen" av judarna verkligen förekommit.
Resultatet av undersökningen, som det gjorts stort nummer av i de judekontrollerade media, vållade panik bland de styrande. Riksdagen enades omgående om ett krav på åtgärder från regeringens sida, och statsminister Göran Persson uttryckte i ett känslomättat anförande sin indignation och oro inför det faktum, att endast 66 % av de svenska högstadieleverna tror på "Förintelsen".
Eftersom ett av de viktigare målen för undervisningsväsendet och massmedia är att få folk att tro på den påstådda "Förintelsen" och uppnå det hundraprocentiga antal troende, som judemakten kräver, har Göran Persson lovat att skyndsamt vidtaga konkreta åtgärder för att intensifiera hjärntvättningen av högstadieeleverna och medborgarna i allmänhet och för att täppa till munnen på alla dem som utsår tvivel på tron på "Förintelsen".
Den svenske statsministern har vidare lovat att efter sin hemkomst till Sverige, efter sommaren, personligen distribuera en videokassett om "Förintelsen" till alla elevernas föräldrar, så att dessa tar sitt ansvar för att uppfostra sina barn i sionistisk anda och tro.
Det borde inte vara någon hemlighet, att den svenske statsministern inte själv skiver sina tal De brukar skrivas av regeringens starke man, juden Leif Pagrotsky! "Göran Perssons anförande" inför riksdagen anslog tonen för media.
Dagen efter riksdagens sammanträde skrev den sionistiska tidningen Dagen, att "Föreningen Förintelsens överlevande" har beslutat stoppa Radio Islam och upprätta ett väldigt monument över "Förintelsen" framför synagogan i Stockholm. I en intervju i samma tidning förklarade föreningens ledare juden Jakob Ringart, att "det är en skandal att Ahmed Rami tillåts fortsätta förneka Förintelsen genom radiosändningar på svenska mark".
I en intervju samma dag i svensk radio förklarade en av ledarna för den judiska lobbyn, att resultatet av den nämnda undersökningen är frukten av årslånga sändningar från Radio Islam, och att "endast Ahmed Rami kan i dag vara glad över det".
Exakt en vecka efter statsministerns anförande beslöt Justitiekanslern i sin egenskap av högste statsåklagare att börja vidtaga "lagliga" åtgärder mot Radio Islams hemsida. Samtidigt som detta beslut tillkännagavs i media, lät man förstå att Justitiekanslern beslutat hemligstämpla hela dossiern om denna "affär"!
Eftersom hela detta "affär" totalt mörklagts och Justitiekanslern vägrar att uttala sig, vände sig TV2:s Rapport till en karriärist juridikprofessor vid Stockholms universitet, som på beställning menar att "Ahmed Rami kan befinnas skyldig till missaktning av det judiska folket, även om hans hemsida på Internet är baserad i Amerika. Ahmed Rami är svensk medborgare och skall dömas efter svensk lag".
Dagen efter beslutet om rättsliga åtgärder mot Radio Islams hemsida på Internet fick Ahmed Rami en räkning beträffande sändningarna från Radio Islam, som sänder 35 timmar i veckan. Enligt räkningen skall Radio Islam betala 6 000 kronor för sändningskostnaderna, efter en taxa på 65 kronor för en kvarts timme.
Radio Islam började sända den 3 mars 1987 och har aldrig tidigare (som alla andra närradio program) behövt betala någon avgift för själva sändaren (det finns en gemensam sändare för alla närradio-program på Stocholms city), utom för användningen av förbindelsen som förband dess studio med sändaren. Ordföranden i styrelsen för denna sändare är aktiv medlem i en sionistorganisation och undertecknaren av räkningen (också han sionist) är aktiv medlem i en homofilorganisation, som i sina publikationer ofta angripit Radio Islam.
Dessa politiska, juridiska och finansiella förföljelser av Radio Islam och dess hemsida på Internet är inte bara inriktade mot personen Ahmed Rami, som redan avtjänat sex månaders fängelse för att ha uttryckt sina åsikter, utan mot allas vår frihet. I går och idag är det Palestina, Tyskland, Schweiz... i dag är det Sverige och Rami. Vem står på tur i morgon?
Det är dags att övergå till konkreta handlingar av solidaritet utöver de geografiska, ideologiska, etniska och religiösa gränserna. Ondskans krafter agerar internationellt på den globala nivån i ett totalt krig för att lägga vår planet under judiskt herravälde. Efter att ha visat sitt rätta ansikte i Palestina flyttar de hela tiden fram sina positioner i syfte att förvandla hela världen till ett enda stort ockuperat Palestina, det vill säga till ett enda stort fängelse, bevakat av en judisk ledarklick!
Vår civilisation kan endast överleva och blomstra i ett klimat av tankefrihet och respekt för de grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna. Alla makter, religioner, ideologier och politiska system bör kunna hävda sig i en öppen och fri debatt och tillerkänna en opposition rätt att existera.
Den totalitära judendomen (med dess sionism) är i dag den enda ideologi, som systematiskt vill kriminalisera blotta existensen av en opposition och ropar för polisen så fort den blir emotsagd!
Innan man kan samexistera, måste man först existera. Den rätten förvägras dem som motsätter sig det judiska väldet. Denna judiska fanatism och obskurantism - direkt från antiken - som utövas idag (!) utgör ett farligt hot mot vår civilisation och mot världsfreden.
Var och en av oss bör göra någonting konkret för att försvara friheten!
Citat från GÖTEBORGS POSTEN (den 11/11/1997):
" (...)
- Det här ska inte dramatiseras.är inget juderegister. Det är en förteckning över människor som är aktuella i Mellanösterndebatten. Jag står själv med, säger Ahmed Rami, grundaren av Radio Islam.
Något neutralt uppslagsverk handlar det dock inte om. Av de över 200 personer som räknas upp är de flesta "judar". Omdömena om dem talar ofta ett tydligt språk: En är "judisk VD för Riksteatern, där en mängd judiska skådisar medverkar".
En annan är "polskt-judiskt jordbruksråd" som utformat "vår jordbrukspolitik" och en är "en judisk räv" från en gammal "judisk klan" som "länge härjat i Sverige". En "jude" sägs ha "homosexuella förbindelser" med en annan.
Många av dem som nämns är uttalade Israelvänner. Men här finns också Israelkritiker som den "amerikanske jude som infiltrerat organisationen för solidaritet med palestinierna i Sverige och blivit chef för Palestinagrupperna".
- Att personer är judar har betydelse i Mellanösterndebatten. På samma sätt som om de varit palestinier. Det har inget med rasism att göra, säger Ahmed Rami som i en av sina böcker också publicerat namn på "judiska" företag med uppmaning till bojkott.
- Om företagen är judiska vet jag inte men de är företag som annonserat dyrt i en tidskrift för att stödja den israeliska ockupationen. Därmed har de gjort ett politiskt ställningstagande. Genom att bidragen maskeras som annonser blir de dessutom skattefria, säger Rami.
Radio Islams hemsidor har anmälts till JK av Svenska kommittén mot anti-semitism som anser att de borde kunna fällas för hets mot folkgrupp. Förundersökning pågar.
Ahmed Rami säger sig inte ha ansvar för hemsidorna som sköts av "några ungdomar" som fått disketter med hans böcker. Han gör dock ingen hemlighet av att han " hatar judendomen".
- Jag fick frågan av en judisk man om jag hatar judar. "Hatar du nazister"? frågade jag. "Ja", sa han. På samma sätt kan jag säga att jag hatar judar. För mig är judarna dagens nazister, säger Rami.
