Enemy Hunt, the Perennial Quest of the West

Hameed Abdul Karim

The western powers have always needed enemies to force their agenda down the throats of different nations at various times in history. With the end of colonialism, however, the U.S. spurred by its imperial mindset, has taken over the role of ‘civilising’ the former colonies with the full backing of France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK which now are, for all intents and purposes, US satellite states.

‘85% of American Muslim community leaders are an enemy living amongst us’

-U.S Representative Peter King (R-NY)

A video making the rounds on the internet claims that Muslims and Islam will take over Europe in the near future. Muslims, it said, would outnumber the non-Muslims and Sharia will replace western liberal values. The narrator, in a sepulchral voice, announced that it was too late to turn the clock back because the birth rates of Muslims far exceeded those of the natives.

The official story is that Muslim ‘terrorists’ did 9-11. Maybe. But were they acting alone?  And is there a secret surrounding the findings that investigated the biggest attack that America faced on that fateful day? Yes, there is.

In recent times there have been a string of articles in the Sri Lanka print media ranging from claims that terrorist groups like Al Qaeda are firmly entrenched in Sri Lanka to ISIL cells straining at the leash just to wreak havoc in the country at the drop of the hat. All they need is an order from their ‘caliph’. That’s the impression that has been created in the minds of ‘news’ consumers.

In a TV interview, not long ago, a BBS demagogue said he had seen Al Qaeda cadres training in the east of Sri Lanka with his ‘own eyes’.  The military rejected this ‘eye witness account’ out of hand.

So what’s this all about?

Is Israel Our Friend?

In the recent past there seems to be a rush by sections of the media and top government officials to embrace Israel as a bosom pal.

An article in the once prestigious Daily Mirror claimed the Sinhalese were related to the Jews through the ten headed King Ravana who lived 5000 years ago. It was not the absurdity of the logic of the writer that was in debate, but the fact that the said paper decided to publish the said article that raised eyebrows. Somewhere in the corridors of power in Tel Aviv there will  be top officials laughing their heads off at the thought of being related to ‘monkeys’ as the Sinhalese were described by Mossad officials according to Victor Ostrovosky in his book ‘By Way of Deception’.

Is It Game Over?

Hameed Abdul Karim

‘It is true the brutal beheadings of two journalists were acts of savagery’

When the now renamed Islamic State exploded on the world scene there was shock and revulsion all over the Middle East and the Gulf state. Shock at the lightening speed with which they conquered large swathes of land in Iraq and Syria. Revulsion at the indescribable atrocities the fighters committed in achieving this objective.
