The world will stand trial with Saddam Hussein, but particularly the Muslim world, since it was on the watch of the secular Muslim governments that nationalists hijacked Islam and state sponsored clerics perverted Muslim thinking and attempted to turn our religion into a racist, and anti-woman religion of hate and oppression. They were mostly silent as the state oversaw the oppression of women and the murder of pious Muslims, and others, Muslims and non-Muslims who have been routinely persecuted and murdered for their faith, and their desire to be free. It has also been the world’s materialist secular state sponsored religious leaders of the past, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and others who divided the house of Abraham with their racist renditions of monotheism that has wrongly pitted the various monotheist sects against one another, while also pitting women against men and men against women. Governments filled the churches, mosques and synagogues with extremist propagandists who promoted religious and racial supremacy and hatred, the abuse of women etc., hoping that by so doing they would alienate the people’s affection from religion, and ease the way to religious reforms that would accommodate the UN Nairobi Strategies which is the actual blueprint for the world’s reordering. They have succeed in not only alienating people from religion, and especially Islam, they have also made it almost impossible for sincere reformists to organize a restoration movement that is based upon the true criteria of truth and justice found in traditional Islam, since attempts to restore are being confused with efforts to re-invent, two very different projects. It is of the utmost importance that our intellectuals and Islamic clergy find ways to clearly distinguish efforts to restore Islam, from efforts to reinvent Islam. The result of this preoccupation with self-destruction and hatred among the monotheists has been the unchallenged and unbridled assault by secular materialists against humanity, and the people of Iraq’s story will be one of many testaments to this fact. While monotheists argued and hated one another, and bickered over petty differences, collaborated with the enemies of God against one another, and sought, each one, to dominate the other, humanity has been hurt by tremendous evil, and is being threatened as never before. The duty of God’s servants is arguably to serve God’s cause, which is not the division of Abraham’s house, and the self-destruction of monotheism, but rather it might be the salvation of mankind, not through doctrine, but through Divine Acts and miracles of faith. Doctrine serves the believers, while it is the actions of the believer’s that serves mankind.
As preparation for Saddam Hussein’s trial proceeds and Saddam’s numerous accomplices seek to wash their hands of complicity, something else is taking shape. Destiny has set a date for the grand indictment of secular materialism and the abuse of power that characterizes its reign, and their grand scheme to reorder God’s earth to accommodate their greed. The people of the world will learn more about the 20th century ascension to power of the Godless, and the stench of death that has poisoned our world due to the mass graves, torture chambers, hunger, plagues, abortions, and other evils, which are the mark of their era of political and economic influence.

I guess we should have seen coming the Jesse Jacksons of Islam. No minority group is complete without a few hustlers out there reaffirming victim status and leading the faithful toward the political left.
