The Iraq captivity keeps on haunting me from time to time, especially the time when I was supposed to be handed over to “Chemical Ali”(Ali Hasan Almajid Al-tikriti) to be executed, because I was embedded with the US forces.
We managed to escape, and the tribal leader who helped us escape also ran away from his house with his children fearing a retaliation .Even though this was a decade ago, during the American invasion of Iraq, but the name of ‘Chemical Ali’ was enough to make you shiver from head to toes because they tagged him with attacks by chemical weapons on Iraqi villages during the Saddam Hussein regime era.
A visit to hospital to take an x-ray with a patient you will be kept in another room so you are not exposed to radiation.
As a war correspondent and a physician, it will be difficult to digest this stage - managed piling of innocent children in front of cameras to display their dead bodies, carrying them with bare hands, with no masks or anything to protect themselves, and achieve their aims by generating a sympathy wave to implicate the government of Syria, even without any proper investigation and collecting of data to find out what chemical is used, who used it and why so many children were slaughtered for no fault of theirs as they are not aware why they were targeted.
For the common man, who saw this carnage and was fed with false facts, can only believe it was the hand of the regime, and the objectives are achieved for those warmongering nations behind these giant media houses trying to justify another “Humanitarian Intervention” under the pretext of saving humanity when both their hands soaked with innocent Syrians’ blood.
The attempts to implicate the Syrian government took a step back in the United Nations Security Council when member Russia presented data that proves that the rebels are responsible for firing two chemical rockets into those areas under their control and causing these killings. Even the United States has cross checked this with its own satellite data and found amounts of truth which is difficult to deny or ignore .
Even the war loving France changed position and called for a thorough investigation to find out the truth. Had it not been the Russians’ firm stand and facts, we might have witnessed another Yugoslavia and Libya in the making .This was a big blow for those countries claiming to be the champion of Human Right`s Values when they kill the person and then walk in his funeral .They knew the game plan and the plot to implicate the Syrian regime .A fact they cannot hide because of the amount of frustration for not being able to dislodge the Syrian government by force despite all the arms and mercenaries they are training and sneaking them into Syria from Turkey, Lebanon and now Jordan the new frontier to sabotage Syria closer to the capital Damascus .
How can the regime kill its own people? It is the same party ruling Syria for more than 45 years, building modern Syria, offering free and compulsory education, free health services and subsidized commodities! Now opting to kill its own children? What for, a gimmick? The aim is to eradicate illiteracy ,poverty and retain the secular identity of the state .
This is insane and the amount of killing in the streets of Syria has never been seen in the history of mankind .All these killings are carried out by criminals and religious fanatics fed with the spoon of Wahhabism that rejects all others and considers them Infidels (Kafirs ).According to UN special envoy Alakhdar Elbrahimi, there are more than 100,000 (one lakh) mercenaries in Syria, and the European Union admits 15,000 blue -eyed Jihadists are fighting alongside the terrorist organizations linked to Al Qaeda in Syria .A force which clearly is the only one currently ruling the streets of Syria and trying to eliminate other groups .This fact is acknowledged by many countries who are now approaching the Syrian government secretly to ensure that no one of them goes back alive to their native country and blow himself /herself there .
The war propaganda and media is used as a weapon of mass deception to build a public opinion to justify military intervention in Syria and elsewhere in future .This is the tactic has been used for ages and they will continue to use it .This yellow journalism will be exposed like the yellow rains on Vietnam ,Fallujah in Iraq , South Lebanon and Beirut attacks by Israel and then on Gaza strip the largest open prison in the world .History will not forgive those who is using misleading headlines to justify intervention .
A Saudi girl 15 year of age returned victorious to her country after sleeping with more than 1000 mercenaries after she responded to a Fatwa issued by her clergy allowing what is known as “Jihad Nikah “,allowing a girl to sleep with many fighters to satisfy them sexually so they can perform better in their other “Holy War “against Syria .She was among many from different nationalities who went into Syria for the same purpose and horrific accounts of their dehumanizing ,group sex acts already reported .Although many clergies called this a prostitution and Islam prohibits such heinous crime ,yet many finds their way to Syria, thanks to the recruited fanatic imams and to those channels showing the heroic acts of those terrorists and fabricating atrocities acts carried out by the Syrian government to justify their call for more volunteers to go to Syria .
This has led to nourishment of more than 1400 terrorist organizations now fighting in Syria and causing havoc looting ,killing , raping , slaughtering innocents and all in the name of their “God/Allah” and their masters funding them ,training them and sending them to blow up themselves and kills as many as possible because they are “Infidels”. In Aleppo last night a family was celebrating their daughter top scorer in her twelve standard and one of the invitee wearing a suicidal belt blew himself to kill the girl, her mothers and score of the invitees .This is what these dark forces wants to repay Syrian achievements in the field of educations .
The culture of Jihadism was established in Afghanistan and now is being replicated by the same actors in Syria. They are trying to fuel it in Lebanon on sectarian lines to counter Hezbollah party who resisting Israel occupation .A bomb blast recently targeted a Shia - dominated part of Beirut and now two bomb blasts targeted people coming out of Friday`s prayers in Tripoli .
Terrorism inflicts the region and will gradually spread to Europe, Russia and other parts of the world because the Islamophobia menace is already engulfing Europe and they are in search of an enemy after communism .Unfortunately those who claim to be the custodian of Islamic faiths are responsible for the bloodshed all over the Islamic countries, flaring up sedition (Fitna),among Muslims , and in those countries with Muslim minorities who are now prosecuted and targeted.
Those countries responsible for the killings in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq will pay a heavy price in the near future and will be punished for their crimes against humanity.
May almighty have mercy on the souls of those victims of a greedy world.
