Article: Extremism & True Islam
Originaly Posted On: 2007-05-28 09:10:37

In my last blog a question asked how do you think thay managed [your government] to stay up to now, its part of history. Its our (muslim) bad luck that most of our rulers used and abused Islam to give strengthen & protection their rule. In the end of 1700 century Muhammad bin Saud (founder of the First Saudi State.) made a deal with Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab that ibn Abd-al-Wahhab will support & justify the rule of ibn Saud as legal Islamic Govt. and in return ibn Saud will accept Wahabism as kingdom official religion. Also provide support & protection to ibn Abd-al-Wahhab in spreading Wahabism. And still now in Saudi Arabia Saud family is ruling thats why the Govt. have to support the Wahabism and its subsidiaries like religious police. Theses extremist people have very strong hold & control on Govt. and people. As Rasha said though most of the educated Saudi peple dont like them but bcoz of their influence they cant resist.
Personally I dont believe in any sectarianism in Islam even not in any Shia and Sunni division. (My intension is not to insult any sect (mazhab) including Wahabism. I am writing what I read in history and as per my personal observation). But the if you go in the history of Wahabism you will find that where they gained control on any area they torture and killed the people of other sects and places of worship, like in Madina Munawara, Taif and Karbala also in 1800 century. Rigidness and harshness is the style & habit of Wahabism. Even there is Fatawa that killing of others sects people, even though they are muslims, occupying & destroying their lands is justified. I am 100% sure if I wrote this thing before terrorist activities & bombing in Saudi Arabia very few will agree with me and people say that may be I am Shia or jew. Saudi Govt. nurtured these people with money and unlimited power & authority in Kingdom until the 9/11. After 9/11 as Govt. tries to limit them theses extremist turned against the Govt, bcoz they are already brain-washed and raised with the ideology that kill anyone who is against you. And we saw bomb blasting & killing of innocent people with the hand of its own people. Now the Govt. eyes open that they are trapped in their own snare, so they started arresting & killing these extremist people. These extremist people give birth to Talibanization who give lot of insult to Islam by caging womens in homes, destroying Womens schools, hitting womens for not veiling (like Iran), beating people for not having beard & having short trousers, killing other sects people (shias in Mazar Sherif). They comitted all these crimes on the name of so-called Islam, and infact Islam never order you to kill any muslim on these basis, Islam order for the eduaction of Women’s. Even before the Taliban, these extremist people of Wahibism and Shais already fought a bloody Sectarian war in Pakistan. They both used the Pakistani agents of their sides and blasted each other mosques and killed many innocent people. After Pakistani Govt. requested the Irani & Saudi govt. for stopping their respective groups from funding this proxy war in the land of Pakistan & its people.
Now if you go to the teachings of Islam you will never find any single example of extremism. Islam doesnt allow anyone to judge others faith, infact its the authority & right of Allah Karim. Even in one War, when non-muslim (kafir) saw he is now being killed by a Muslim he recite shahada (embrace Islam) but that Muslim soldier killed him with the idea that he recited shahada to save his life. As this incident reported to prophet Mohammad (ASW), he said its a murder and angry on that Muslim soldier. That muslin soldier argued that he recited shahada to save his life but prophet Mohammad (ASW) said a historical sentence that did you split his heart to see that he recited shahada to save his life ?. This is the Islam and now days we are killing each others as aunts on the name of Islam.
We intellectuals & educated people blame religious clerks (Sheikhs) for all the bad things in Islam. But people are more responsible for not knowing True Islam. I think till graduation & masters we read more than 200 syllabus books but we never ever bother to read Quran & Seerat Rasool (ASW). We put the responsibility of most important thing of life on these religious Clerks (Sheikhs) ?. These Clerks (Sheikhs) never stopped us from reading Quran & Seerat Rasool (ASW), until and unless we our self not read & research the Islam we will be puppet (…) in the hands of these extremist.
Teachings of Islam are universal & ever lasting, and still practical able in 21st century. The only problem is that we have made issues of those things which have no link & relation of Islam. As I said in my last blog we have to thoroughly read Quran & Sunnah (including Seerat Rasool (ASW) to find the True Islam. And I swear that Islam is most the open, easy, peaceful, flexible religion of the world.
And I am proud of being a Muslim…..
