I am
going to tell you a tale of two stories’ and one of them could get you killed.
The first
is the story of Western political elites. Their story is about Islam. They tell
you that Islam (or if they can’t be honest ‘ Islamism’), is a threat to the
world, that this medieval religion is violent and barbaric, a faith that leads
to violence and one that the West must take action against in order to defend
itself. It is a story that inevitably leads to a clash of civilizations.
It is
repeated in newspapers & news channels in the Western World every single
day in various subtle ways and as a result white westerners believe it.
Muslims
also tell a story, and it also involves Islam. This is the one that could get
you killed. They tell a story of an American Empire pushed by Israel and its
lobby and old European hatreds into yet another war against Muslims. In their
story the West had been waging wars to uphold their manufactured borders across
the Muslim world that allowed them to control and dominate the region and kept
that order & maintained it by propping up ruthless dictators. The resulting
deaths and broken lives now measured in their millions.
