The present on-going 68th
UN General Assembly offers another dimension to world politics vis-à-vis global
terrorism and peace. There is an astonishing speech/revelation from Brazilian
president, her Iranian counterpart among others. Even Bolivian president
pressed for relocating the UN headquarters from New York, He said:
"No guaranteed visas,
no guaranteed overflights. We feel threatened, bullied and blackmailed over
visas," he said, adding that the United States "has never ratified
treaties related to human rights." (http://www.presstv.com/detail/2013/09/26/326045/move-un-out-of-us-morales-says/)
Yet, none of the western media
fully covered these speeches. Even, Venezuela President cancelled his trip to
the UN Assembly because of threat of “terrorism” in US (http://www.presstv.com/detail/2013/09/26/326068/venezuelas-maduro-drops-un-trip/).
The question is: Why are the Latin American countries feel “unsafe” with US?
Why US NSA designates Brazil has a country harboring “terrorists” in her domain
and cite the excuse as an avenue to break into their cyber sovereignty? Why is
it that within the couple of few decades US has procured several wars in other
countries of the world than any other country in history of humanity? Why are
American citizens recently protested of “lies” from western-controlled media
like CNN, BBC etc? Why is US spying on Indian diplomat in New York? Why is US
spying on everyone living in US?
Again, US president gave a speech
at UN Assembly on Tuesday and referred to his country as “exceptional” among
others to venture into other countries’ sovereignty and also claimed that he
will protect his country’s “interest” in Middle East and North America even if
it will require “use of military force” (Available on Voice of Russia News). I
also present the following links from Voice of Russia News in order to guide
your view on world politics and global affairs.
I will like to encourage you to
listen to news from both western (CNN, BBC) and non-western (Voice of Russia,
presstv.com) media in order to equip you with balanced news on global affairs.
In the mean time, I will enjoin
you to reflect on this narration of the Prophet Muhammed (SAW): “ In an
authentic narration, the Prophet (SAW) told the followers that they should
assist their fellow Muslims who are oppressors and who are being oppressed. A
follower stood up and told the Prophet (SAW) that we understood those Muslims
who are being oppressed for us to come to their aid, how do we assist the
oppressors? The Prophet (SAW) replied and said that PREVENT him from oppressing
others”.
Rationally and logically, classical and contemporary scholars and
historians have told us that the Prophet (SAW) never fought offensive wars;
rather he fought in defense of his ideology.
While testifying to the sublimity of the Prophet (SAW), Mahatma Gandhi, made
a statement published in 'Young India,' 1924 that “I wanted to know the best of
the life of one who holds today an undisputed sway over the hearts of millions
of mankind.... I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that
won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid
simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet the scrupulous regard for
pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity,
his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and
not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.
When I closed the second volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there
was not more for me to read of that great life”. Once again, thank you and I
will like to share my Friday view with you tagged “TGIF”.
