Mundo islámico: ¿un presente caótico o una sociedad nunca entendida?

Cubanalisis

Qué significa, pues, esta crisis? ¿Cuál es su carácter? ¿Cuáles son sus orígenes y sus expresiones? Y ¿qué clase de desenlaces podría esperar el mundo islámico para salir de ella? Al regir la vida económica y la sociedad, cada turbulencia intestina pone en crisis de inmediato a esta estructura y su ineptitud para refrendar sus nuevas funciones, y ello se ha patentizado en la ola de protestas masivas que ha sacudido toda la región en 2011.

 

Sin dudas, a las protestas y rebeldías, violentas y constantes, acontecidas en los últimos meses, se agregan las decisiones políticas (muchas de ellas desacertadas) que sobre el tema siguen asumiendo tanto Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea, como Rusia y China, que complejizan aún más todo este escenario.

 

Las demandas callejeras, conjuntamente con las presiones exteriores, provocaron los reemplazos en el poder, hasta ahora, en Túnez, Egipto, Libia y casi Yemen, desestabilizando de paso a otros estados como Siria, Qatar y Omán, e influyendo en posiciones más arrogantes por parte de los dirigentes palestinos en sus negociaciones con Israel.

 

En Occidente, el espejismo con el cual siempre se ha analizado y actuado en el orbe islámico ha llevado a pensar que luego de tales reemplazos, y los que se esperan en otros sitios, tendrían lugar escenarios más favorables para esas poblaciones, y posiciones políticas menos contestatarias a Occidente; pues se espera, ilusamente, un hecho “democratizador”.

 

Occidente no acaba de entender la profunda huella del tribalismo en el comportamiento político del actual mundo islámico, al no analizar que tal fenómeno, desde sus orígenes a una sociedad arcaica donde cada tribu o clan asume la ley natural de sobrevivir a expensas del más débil, donde no existen mediadores externos o gobiernos que apliquen la ley, y donde el perjudicado cuando vence se erige también en juez y en ejecutor.

 

El escenario del pueblo volcado a las calles y bazares, y como resultado, la caída de regímenes o personajes desagradables al Occidente, por mucho que nos motive a la solidaridad, no puede llevarnos a la noción de que tal hecho resulta una garantía de “democratización”, o incluso de un orden político menos represivo o tiránico y menos anti-occidental que el derrocado.

Islamic Dictator Establishing Professorships in Western Universities

by AmericanDefenseLeague

Qaboos bin Said Al Said the Sultan of Oman is establishing Islamic to proselytize non-Muslims towards Islam.  William and Mary College and fifteen others have accepted Qaboos professorships including Harvard and Georgetown universities; Leiden University in the Netherlands; Peking University; Tokyo University; the University of Melbourne; and Oxford and Cambridge universities in England.

 

Sultan Qaboos bin Said

What’s not to like about a guy who overthrows his father and in doing so formed an absolute dictatorship with his decisions not subjected to review.

Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman, rose to power after overthrowing his father, in 1970.  The political system which Qaboos, considered a moderate Muslim, established is that of an absolute dictatorship. Unlike, the situation in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, Qaboos’ decisions are not subject to modification or review.
Recently, Qaboos has allowed parliamentary elections (in which women have voted and stood as candidates) and pledged greater openness and participation in government. Oman was the only Arab state to recognize Egyptian President Anwar Sadat‘s peace agreement with Israel.  

His supporters point to his relative success in governing the country. By Gulf standards, Oman boasts good public order, middling prosperity, and a relatively permissive society. Since he acceded to the throne, Oman has broadened international relations, allowed newspapers, established high schools, built highways, opened hotels and shopping malls and spends a substantial portion of its dwindling oil revenues on health care and education.
According to an unconfirmed source, Oman remains one of the 9 countries that proscribe death for blasphemy, along with: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iran, Mauritania, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Gaza.
Although, Omani law prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion, all religious organisations must be registered. Almost the entire Christian population is expatriates working in Oman. Foreign Christians are allowed to worship in private homes or on work compounds. Locals are strongly discouraged from visiting these compounds, since Christian materials are available there.  Proselytizing Muslims (helping them leave Islam for another religion) is forbidden. Muslims that visit churches face severe persecution from family and society – and the government also take action including interning them as psychiatric patients.
The bottom line is simple, Oman’s dictator is paying for professional proselytizer positions at western universities and act that if committed in Oman would be a crime.

Por que los gobernantes democraticos no condenan al Castrismo?

Huber Matos Jr. se pregunta  "Si el régimen castrista es ilegítimo, ¿por qué razón los gobernantes democráticos no lo dicen claramente?"

son multiples las razones y algunas se han modificado con el transcurrir del tiempo. entre otras:

• porque en politica lo que ES es lo que se PERCIBE, con lo cual lo que "ES" es diferente para muchos actores politicos, los que ademas tienen que desenvolver sus actividades en el implagable juego democratico de su entorno politico con las prioridades correspondientes
• porque el regimen se ha ocupado concienzudamente de asegurarse pactos de inmunidad y/o impunidad por diferentes vias. mas alla de los casos de eeuu y europa, canada ilustra diafanmente el asunto. expresado simplemente: de cada 100 turistas 47-48 son canadienses [+ un billon de dolares de ingresos brutos anuales], a cambio controla inversiones en sectores estrategicos en la isla, algo que tiene que aceptar hasta un conservador nada simpatizante del regimen como mr. harper
• porque el castrismo luego del exterminio de la oposicion armada a mediados de la decada del 60, ha realizado un empleo muy ajustado, puntual y discreto de la fuerza represiva contra el movimiento  opositor y disidente, con lo que evita el "pretexto" para contundentes acciones condenatorias y represivas
• porque la maquinaria propagandista y manipuladora del regimen se sustenta en causas "defendibles" por su aceptacion universal tales como "david frente a goliat", pobres vs ricos, autodeterminacion, soberania, antimperialismo, etc
• porque el aparato de inteligencia y contrainteligencia crea una masa de simpatizantes y agentes de influencia de multiplicadores aplicados y fanaticos de sus intereses
• porque mas que comprar, comprometen voluntades. seria bueno conocer cuantos de los que volveran a votar en contra del embargo en naciones unidas, conocen el origen historico y el fundamento legal del mismo, cuando por el contrario reciben la asistencia medica, militar y de inteligencia cubana que les permite mantenerse en el poder
• .....................etc.

Coren & Hedegaard on domestic islamofascism

La encrucijada libia/ Barah Mikail

FP en español 

El régimen de Gadafi se acerca a su fin. Aunque caótica y a veces sangrienta, la estrategia militar desplegada en Libia durante estos últimos seis meses por fin ha resultado fructífera. La adhesión de Gadafi a la postura antioccidental y sus llamamientos a la solidaridad panafricana, panárabe y panislámica durante el proceso de revueltas árabes no bastaron para mantenerle en el poder.

No obstante, deberíamos observar los acontecimientos con un optimismo cauteloso. El país podría estar entrando en una nueva era, pero eso no significa que sus ciudadanos vayan a llegar con facilidad a un consenso sobre el tipo de futuro que desean. En Túnez y Egipto podemos observar claramente un día tras otro lo complicado que puede resultar un proceso de transición, incluso cuando se produce como resultado de los esfuerzos de una única nación, sin el más mínimo apoyo directo del extranjero. Por eso, la ecuación libia podría originar más dificultades, y una sucesión de paradojas de las que deberíamos ser conscientes a partir de ahora.  

La primera paradoja es que, mientras el éxito de la Revolución Libia ha quedado garantizado por la acción de potencias extranjeras –empezando por la OTAN–, ninguna de ellas parece proclive a subrayar este detalle. De hecho, la OTAN tardó muchísimo en lograr su objetivo inicial implícito, es decir, la caída del régimen de Gadafi. Mientras sus miembros parecían creer en un principio que podrían derrocar al dictador con una Blitzkrieg (guerra relámpago), al final han acabado con seis meses de conflicto, miles de víctimas y de daños –muchos de ellos de los llamados colaterales– y el recientemente constituido Consejo Nacional de Transición (CNT) como único aliado. Por eso, es posible que la OTAN haya logrado en Libia lo que aún está lejos de conseguir en Afganistán, pero el período que se avecina podría demostrar también que la organización aún se encuentra muy lejos de poder conquistar los corazones y el pensamiento de la población.

U.S. needs a leader like Churchill [& the whole Western]

By David Gergen, CNN Senior Political Analyst

(CNN) -- Before returning to the States this weekend, I and others in my family spent enthralled hours at the Churchill War Rooms in London, along with the new museum in his honor next door. Now, there was a leader! There was a man whose example shouts out to us now in our hour of trouble.

On both sides of the Atlantic, the turmoil of this past week has sparked cries for those in political power to step up and for God's sake, lead. Fears are spreading across Europe as well as the U.S. that not only are our economies teetering but our politicians are ineffectual.

In their summit a short while ago, leaders of European democracies promised they had fixed the problems of their weakest player, Greece. Instead, their solution was so timid that fears of default have spread to Italy and Spain, the third and fourth largest economies in the euro zone. In the U.S., President Obama and Congressional leaders assured us that their budget deal would put us on a safe path. Instead, markets plunged and Standard & Poors stripped our county of its AAA credit rating for the first time ever.

It's not that you don't have the economic capacity to pay your bills, said S&P; we're just not sure you have the political capacity to pay them. One can well object to the decision, as the White House has, but the damage is done in international eyes. Gloom is thick across the waters.

Winston Churchill would have rejected this pessimism in an instant. He was offered the prime ministership in May, 1940, when Hitler had marched across much of Europe and chased British troops off the mainland. Many of Britain' older political leaders were so despondent they wanted to capitulate to Hitler, and had signed a peace treaty.

#Islamists on #Welfare: Paid to Plot the West’s Demise

by Kathy Shaidle
In 2008, the Toronto Sun reported that “hundreds of [Greater Toronto Area] Muslim men in polygamous marriages — some with a harem of wives — are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say.”
“Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims,” Canadian Society of Muslims president Mumtaz Ali declared bluntly. “Ontario recognizes religious marriages for Muslims and others.”
Government officials quickly denied the Muslim leader’s claims about immigration law and social benefits regulations. Only one public servant seemed sufficiently concerned. “This is wrong,” said city councilor Rob Ford. “They should put a stop to this immediately.”
Instead, welfare abuse by Muslims appears to have metastasized across the Western world. Almost three years later, news stories about radical Muslims — often immigrants — engaged in social benefits scams emerge regularly from Europe, Canada, and Australia. Even when they are not involved in fraud, Muslims frequently are overrepresented on welfare rolls, compared with other communities. The statistics from around the globe are jaw-dropping, especially in economically uncertain times.

What the West Can Do in #Egypt to Stymie the #Muslim Brotherhood

by Michael Armanious

It’s all over but the shouting. The Muslim Brotherhood is going to dominate the political life of Egypt at least for the next few years.
That’s the result of the referendum vote that took place on March 19. Voters approved by a wide margin — 77 percent — a plan for the country to elect a new parliament and a new president by September. Aside from the largely discredited National Democratic Party (NDP) associated with the Mubarak regime (whose headquarters were demolished during the Jan. 25 revolution), the only organization with the capacity to run a nation-wide campaign is the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood’s political skills should not be discounted. In the weeks prior to the referendum, the organization told Egyptians that a yes vote was a vote for God and that a vote against it was a vote for Satan. To make matters worse, voters were told that a vote against the referendum was a sign that one was a Christian, and therefore, not fully loyal to Egypt. Given the hostility directed at Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority, the message was clear — the only people who voted against the referendum were enemies of Egypt and ultimately, of Islam itself.

#Gaddafi regime admits attempts to talk to west

The regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has initiated a concerted effort to open lines of communication with western governments in an attempt to bring the conflict in the country to an end. As fighting continues in Libya, the country's former prime minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told Channel 4 : "We are trying to talk to the British, the French and the Americans to stop the killing of people. We are trying to find a mutual solution."

World leaders say #Gaddafi must go

The United Kingdom has hosted a summit on the developing situation in Libya, with leaders from forty countries saying that Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, must leave the country. The British hosts of the summit said that they did not discuss arming the rebels, even though the French foreign minister said it was a subject that his government was prepared to bring up. What the UN, NATO, Arab League and government representatives did agree to, however, was to establish a "contact group" to coordinate all international action on Libya.

China's coming collapse

By Jason Kirby

The Middle Kingdom's prosperity is an illusion. And when China finally falls, we'll all feel the pain.

As fearmongering election campaign ads go, it's hard to top the "Chinese Professor," which flickered across the Internet just before Americans went to the polls last fall. In the spot, set in a sleek Beijing lecture hall 20 years in the future, a sharply dressed Chinese instructor explains to his Asian students why previous empires, from Ancient Greece to the U.S.A., turned to dust. The Americans failed because they lost sight of their principles, he says in Mandarin, with subtitles. They overspent, overtaxed and over–borrowed. "Of course, we owned most of their debt," he cackles, as the class joins in. "So now they work for us."

Muslim Brotherhood's secret plan to 'destroy Western Civilization from within'

The Muslim Brotherhood's secret plan to 'destroy Western Civilization from within'

---

© 2011 WorldNetDaily

"Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."
Does that sound like the motto of a nice, peaceful, non-violent, secular organization? President Obama and his national intelligence director James Clapper think so.
But contrary to the perversely rosy assessment of America's top leadership, the Muslim Brotherhood – the shadowy, transnational Islamist parent organization of al-Qaida and Hamas – is committed not only to filling the growing leadership vacuum in the Arab world, but also, through its many proxies within the U.S, to impose the Quran and Shariah law right here in America.
If that sounds too fantastic or improbable to take seriously, you will harbor no such doubts after reading the March issue of Whistleblower, "KNOW THINE ENEMY: The Muslim Brotherhood's secret plan to 'destroy Western Civilization from within.'"
