The West Doesn't Understand the Enemy, Or Do They?

America is in a war that must be won. A problem many of us see, is that the enemy has not been clearly identified by our government. They use terms like Islamic terror, Islamic fascism, and radical Islamists. We identify specific terror groups like al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, and any number of other similar groups. An individual who comments here at Right Truth occasionally, says that we are wrong in using the term Islamic terrorism, saying:

As a false identity, erroneously attributed to peoples who are not Arabs, Pan-Arabism consists in an incredible push towards Barbarism, as it pours oil in the fire spread by the pseudo-Islamic Wahhabi sheikhs. It became the pattern of a semi-developed nationalism for the wrong people that causes a terrible mental confusion in the minds of its followers, as it elaborates its terms on an earlier level of confusion, that of the Wahhabi Islam.

In other words, its followers cannot be correct Muslims in the same way wrong Muslims cannot be correct nationalists.

At its origin, Pan-Arabism is of course a nationalist system for the wrong people. The Arabic speaking people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Emirates, and the Arabic speaking border inhabitant minorities of Turkey and Iran are not Arabs: they are Aramaeans who were linguistically aarabized because they were Islamized. By adhering to Islam, they accepted Arabic (that is truly an Aramaic dialect and variant with its writing system being derived from the cursive Syriac Aramaic) as their holy language. So, over the span of many generations they forgot Aramaic, and spoke Arabic only. However, this process did not involve either racial mixtures, as the Arab emigrants were few, and even the entire Arabic population of Hedjaz was smaller than the population of just one Aramaean city like Antioch, Damascus or Urhoy (Edessa of Osrhoene / Urfa), or cultural – behavioural arabization, as Islam itself was a form of aramaizing culturally – behaviourally – religiously the nomadic and uncultured Arabs of Hedjaz. In the same way, the Egyptians are not Arabs but Copts, native Egyptians, and the Sudanese are Nubian and Khammitic indigenous (Sudan was never invaded by a single Arab soldier) non-Semitic people. Finally, Libyans, Tunisians, Algerians, Moroccans and Mauritanians are Berbers of Khammitic background.

To take an Arabic speaking Iraqi as “Arab” means that you accept that an American Black is ….. Anglo-Saxon!

When people in the West make reference to Islamo-fascism, they speak, without understanding it, about Pan-Arabism. [snip] To give an example, when an average Egyptian reads a Coranic reference to the Arabic language, he misunderstands it because of the total alteration and degeneration of Islam in the hands of the false sheiks ... source

I don't claim for one minute to fully understand this completely, but it does stir discussion of the topic, and discussion can lead to further understanding.

There is no Islamic Terrorism, practiced by few and hypocritically denounced by the many.

There are (and they stand accused) Muslim Societies of Terror, real laboratories of Terror, Hatred, Hysteria, De-humanization and ultimate Satanism whereby the conditions are imposed so that people turn to Terrorism (small part of an entire mindset that is sought after) as preached by the bogus-Islamic sheikhs who in the name of Islam diffuse Barbarism and Bestiality. Not a single Islamic erudite scholar and philosopher pg the Golden Age of Islam would have accepted these sheikhs and their followers, should he have been reborn today.

After all, it is not a fight between East and West, Christianity and Islam, and the like.

It is a sheer and ultimate fight between Civilization and Barbarism. Humanity and Bestiality. --Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

I do agree that we are in a fight, civilization against barbarism. The question being posed here, is who falls into each category?

You can't imagine how worse the things are, the degree to which the ani-Western conspiracy has amounted among people, the chaotic depth of the hatred that comes as result of personal self-humiliation or self-eradication that is imposed in these tyrannical societies - real laboratories of Islamic Terrorism. The entire process has not been mentioned, let alone studied and analyzed; how could it therefore be tackled properly?

Unless many people in the West wake up and force their governments to opt for a U-turn change in their Middle East policies, things will deteriorate very soon and to extreme. Because the secret sheikhs want it so, and the Western politicians do not have a clue....

You have to focus on the single reality: stop using the false term Islamic Terrorism.

By using it, you play the game of the so-called 'moderate Muslim statesmen' who are not moderate but say lies to you, acting as puppets of the secret sheikhs of terror and hatred.

Another interesting subject Dr. Megalommaatis brings up is Europe and their relationship to the United States. On the surface we thing of Europe as our friend, underneath most of us know they routinely work against the United States, specifically in the United Nations.

The Colonial Powers, France and England, in their effort to reduce America’s predominance, have already used this system in order to generate problems and difficulties to the US. One could say that Pan-Arabism is the no 1 weapon colonial powers, dreaming of an influential Europe that would rise as counterweight to the US, have started using. Their method involves total disorientation of the American administration from the realities of the Middle East. As long as the US do not realize that Pan-Arabism generates Islamic Terrorism, the colonial powers will be successful in engulfing the US into swampy territories. The success for France and England is that, by causing tremendous Anti-Americanism, they are able to dissociate the US from numerous local peoples who would/should count on America to obtain national liberation from the Pan-Arabist tyrannies. At the same time, by confusing and misleading the American establishment, France and England want to induce the American administration to either isolationism or compliance with their plans.

I thank Dr. Megalommaatis for his articles, his comments and his emails. His thoughts in this post should stir discussion, thought, and comments. What say you?

Many Americans do not even understand Europe. Thus, they can't even begin to understand the Middle East.

[I love America]

We AMERICAN'S will NEVER let these extremist muslims take over our country, EVER. For them to think they can take over the world is stupidity in its self. The world will rise up as one and defeat them and send them to their beloved Allah in a body bag!!

[alio perpetuus]

Dr. Megalommatis, in my humble opinion, is correct insofar as describing the varying differences in the peoples we broadly, and quite loosely, classify as Arabs. Yes there are differences between Iraqi Arabs, Egyptian Arabs, Saudi Arabs, and so forth. We are witnessing already the differences between Iraqi Arabs themselves in their conflict between the Shi’ite and the Sunni sects of Islam. It is my understanding that Dr. Megalommatis is attempting to correct a label which is undoubtedly incorrect, however, I must point out that our government’s attribution of the said misnomer to a large number of people needs to be understood as classifying a number of peoples whose shared values and underlying origination hail from the Arab peninsula, and whose specific background is that of Islam, up to and Including non-Muslim individuals. Yes, there are differences between these peoples, but for all intensive purposes, how much do they differ, say, as do the Macedonians and the Greeks, or the Armenians and Romanians, or Greeks and Albanians, or Anglos and Saxons? Dr. Megalommatis is correct to point out the diminutive differences of the Arab and non-Arab peoples who occupy Arabia and the Middle East, but since they share at least one attribute between themselves, such as the Arabic roots of some of its members and societies, and the Arabic roots of Islam, in the context this administration is using the term Arab, in my perspective, identifies any individual who is Muslim (of one sect or another) and comes from the Middle East, and share any or all cultural ideas of the Arabic peoples.

Of course, this is my personal view, insofar as this administration’s labeling is concerned. But, in factual sense I agree completely with Dr. Megalommatis on the differences in the peoples of the Arabian peninsula, the Middle East, and of those of the Muslim faithful themselves.

[Sir Duck]

One thing Nazareth is not seeing is the Christians are not killing people the muslims are and they will not stop unitl they take over the world. Been in Iraq & Afghan and fixing to go back to Iraq and have been all over that part of the world and if anyone thinks the killing of non-muslims by muslims then they need to get on the tooth farie boat. Has anyone asked why the Sheiks and the Cleraics have not denounce the killing of non-muslims, some people have but my have we forgot that quesion and answer.

[Debbie]

You've got a point, Nazareth and Winging Texan. Very well said.

[Winging texan]

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. MARCHING AS TO WAR, WITH THE CROSS OF JESUS GOING ON BEFORE. CHRIST THE ROYAL BANNER.

[Winging texan]

Do any of our military leaders, President, Vice President, members of Congress or Senate
understand what we are fighting? Islam is both a religion and a Political ideology.
Who cares what office you are getting, wake the H - - - up.

I'm sorry, but being 'arabic' has nothign to do with being an Islamic- people of all nationalities are Christians and rightfully so- people of all nationalities are are also islamic- they pracvtice Islam- and htose that commit terror are Islamic terrorists- just as anyone who practiced Christian terror would be concidered Christian terrorists. I think the doctor just doesn't want to admit that soem within the Islamic religion have gone bad. He takes the term 'islamic terrorist' and somehow attempts to change the meaning into Arab terrorist because evidently, according to him, you must be an arab in order to be truly islamic I guess? Sorry- not buying it. Islam is a religion NOT a nationality. While a black person is not 'anglo-saxon' he or she IS a bull blooded amrican, and any crimes committed by ANY person who is American reflects on their nationality AND any crime committed by ANY American in the name of religion reflects directly on that religion
