Failing to depose Gadhafi after months of bombardment and brazen assassination attempts, NATO propaganda machine upped its campaign of calumny against the Libyan leader accusing him of atrocities which Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other reputable human rights watchdogs can find no evidence of. That did not stop NATO from sending its ICC attack dog, Luis Moreno Ocampo to indict the Libyan leader for war crimes and issue an international arrest warrant.
The North African country has Africa's largest crude oil reserve. It's therefore no surprise that Western powers which unconvincingly claim to be "protecting civilians", are colluding with genocidal Arab supremacists to grab Libya's oil. Unfortunately neither Russia nor China wised up to the West's deception of masking their true agenda in Libya with lies about "protecting civilians", otherwise they would have vetoed UN resolution 1973 which ostensibly authorized NATO's intervention. Not that a Russian or Chinese veto would have made much difference, as Sarkozy et al had already concluded plans to topple Gadhafi, with or without UN mandate. France has also admitted arming the Libyan rebels in direct contravention of the UN resolution 1973. In a similar vein, America invaded Iraq without UN authorization to among other objectives establish Iraq as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. We can all see how Iraq's democracy is flourishing with violent Jihadists running amok, Sunnis and Shiite bombing each other's mosques and neighborhoods. More than half of Iraq's 700,000 Christians have been killed or chased out of the country as their churches are bombed and many were severally attacked by Islamists in supposedly democratic Iraq.
This was a secular country under Saddam in which women were not obliged to wear Hijab, and Christians thrived unmolested with one of them - Tariq Aziz - rising to become Saddam's deputy. So much for establishing democracy in Arabia.
More recently in post-Mubarak Egypt, the Tantawi-led junta has been hobnobbing with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood which has pledged to fully implement Sharia, while attacks on Coptic Christians continue. Even in better-enlightened "moderate" Tunisia where the Arab uprising started, there has been an upsurge in radical Islam. There's a reason secular/quasi-secular dictators like Mubarak, Gaddafi, Ben Ali, Assad etc abound in the Arab world. They are the only ones who can keep Islamists at bay. Hold an election, and a totalitarian Islamist group like Hamas (Gaza), Al-Wefaq (Bahrain) or FIS (Algeria), which cannot be trusted to sustain meaningful democracy will seize power, as Muslim Arabs have no inkling what democracy is all about.
Hence a Zogby/University of Maryland poll conducted last year found that 84% of Egyptians endorse death penalty for Muslims who leave Islam.
It is therefore baffling that the West is again making the same mistake of naively supporting Libyan rebels to establish "democracy," despite intelligence and news reports severally linking these rebels with Al-Qaeda.
Perhaps even more telling is the fact that there have been no Islamist terrorist attacks or threats thereof against NATO for bombing Libya, as there have been against US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. On the contrary, Al-Qaeda is in support of deposing Gadhafi. Something is terribly amiss when Al-Qaeda and America are on the same side. In accordance with the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya (deception), Libyan Islamists have now assumed low profile until the clueless NATO dethrones Gaddafi. If Islamists are then prevented from taking over, they will make Libya hell for the few true secular leaders. Just ask neighboring Algeria what happened after FIS, the Islamist party won election but was denied power...some 150,000 Algerians lost their lives in the ensuing conflict. Add to Libya's brewing jihadist cauldron, resurgence of primordial rivalries among her contending tribal clans - post-Gadhafi Libya might end up like post-Saddam Iraq, or even worse - Somalia. This is particularly so as reports from towns the Libyan rebels conquered indicate they are an undisciplined bunch of rampaging thugs - hardly the sort of people that can build democracy.
Consequently many of the supposedly liberated residents of Qawalish fled after rebels recently took over. Thus contrary to the popular corporate media narrative, the so-called Arab awakening isn't really about freedom or democracy, it's primarily about economics.
If the uprisings were really about freedom & democracy, the Saudi monarchy (obedient to the West) which runs the most repressive Arab tyranny would be the first to go.
Rest in peace Muamar. The world didnt know the truth about you, but this christian and many others who bothered to read a book and do research on your country and life, realise that you were indeed a warrior and trying to make your country self sufficient. What a traged this day, this day that you were mercilessly killed. When I heard you had been killed, I ws filled with great sadness and it seemed like this world had lost sight of what is truth. Rest in peace and may your family be safe
