Islam is heading in a dangerous direction - Oct 2003 Statement

It is unwise to assume that it can take on the entire world and fight a Holy War - Djihad against civilization. The previous conquests that let to the spread of Islam is past history and could not repeat itself today,for the world has changed. In those days a small Muslim army, fierce and determined could easily overrun peaceloving nations, of merchants and city dwellers who wanted nothing better but to avoid confrontation and blood-shed, they were easy prey and easy converts, forced at the drawn sword ! Islaam - Tislaam.

And nowadays ??? Islam has not been able to advance, but is on the retreat instead whereas the world is advancing and ahead of the Islamic Ummah with every passing decade. No car bombs - no guerilla warfare can bring anything constructive about. It is sad to see that all that is left is destructive power and spreading fear and terror, clear signs of total failure and decadence !

Time is running out while militancy rages and there is no muslim action trying to stop this cancer from spreading !

Barbarism as just demonstrated during the past months with the beheading of 3 innocent civilians in the most inhuman, cruelest fashion will only hasten the process. The sad thing about it all is that "moderate" Islam is not really opposing the Militants and Terrorist, and we must ask ourselves - WHY ????

Us against the "Infidels" is not the issue, Us along side with the family of man can be the only solution !

This requires serious efforts of inner transformation and Enlightment - are we capable of this process remains to be seen ! - No Dreams and wishful thinking will change this !

- Wake up, Ya Muslimun and alter the course before it will be too late ! The majority of the Islamic Ummah wraps itself in silence, instead of fighting Terror ! - This inaction and indifference has a terrible prize, yet to be paid ! - How can anyone keep on going as if nothing is really happening ???

IslamPeace-IUT Al Rashidun - The New Peaceful Order is the Solution ! - The alternative would be terrible - this must not, has not to happen as long as change is taking place !

Bagheban-e Islam Ali Tehrani - Al Rashid on Behalf of the Bagheban.
