Libya and Western myth of ‘Islamists’ 

Holocaust and anti-Semitism labels are applied to silence criticism of Israel, Jews and Zionism. On the other hand, the term ‘Islamist’ is applied to a Muslim who challenges the western crimes in the Muslim world or demands equal rights as religious minority in the non-Muslim world.A great majority of Muslims and non-Muslims are brainwashed by the Zionist-controlled mainstream media and they repeat these term without realizing the real agenda of western colonial powers behind these labels. For example, I read an article by Kevin Barrett PhD, entitled Where Qaddafi Failed, Islam Will Succeed on his blog. I respect Kevin Barrett for his Jihad against Zionists lies that Muslims were involved in 9/11. However, I suspect, as a convert to Islam, he too has been fooled by western definition of ‘Islamist’.

Before discussing Dr. Barrett’s article – I like to say that a true Islamist will never seek or accept help from proven anti-Muslim Kuffars (non-Muslims) to achieve his/her political goals. Nor he/she will participate in a foreign military invasion and actively take part in helping foreign colonial powers to kill his/her fellow Muslims, destroy Muslim lands’ infrastructure and promise the invaders to let them exploit Muslim natural resources. There is a Prophetic saying (Haddith) that when two Muslims fight with each other (for personal gains) with the intention of killing his opponent – both are destined for hell-fire no matter who wins.

Some of West’s other ‘Islamists’ include Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan and Syria; Al-Nahda in Tunisia, Jamait-e-Islami in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh; PAS in Malaysia and FIS in Algeria. Interestingly, all these parties started as ‘faith-preaching’ organizations and not political parties. Even now, none of these parties are interested in establishing a Islamic theocracy like in Iran or pro-West religious dictatorship like in Saudi Arabia. Leaders of some these parties are even allergic to being called ‘Islamists’, such as, Rachid Ghannouchi of Al-Nahda. Syrian Muslim Brotherhood has no quam sharing conferences (Paris) and forums (Brookings, Doha) with Israelis. All of them are quite happy to share power with the western puppets – as long as, they’re allowed to have some Islamic face-lifting, such as, interest-free banking, liquor and gambling prohibition, biblical punishment for adultery and hijab.
