A new 26-part television series emanating from Syria, produced by al-Manar (the mouthpiece of Hizbollah), and airing worldwide, is giving credit where it isn?t due. At the same time, one must marvel at the aborted lessons of history that the Islamic world embraces these days. If it weren?t for digital watches, automatic nose hair clippers and the like, one could easily believe we were living in beginning to middle of last century again. Why? Because like their non-Muslim predecessors, the Muslim world is now crediting the Jews with aspirations that are really those of Islam.
Apparently, the other movers and shakers of the Islamic world read the same flawed history books as that champion of ignorance, Dr. Mahathir Muhammad. To refresh your memories, Dr. Mahathir is the former Prime Minister of Malaysia who said that the Jews rule the world by proxy. He also said that Jews invented democracy. In reality, the Greeks invented democracy. (The Jews invented guilt about not voting. If I were the Greeks, I?d sue. And if I were Dr. Mahathir, I?d sue whomever gave me my degrees while failing to make sure I knew even basic history, thus opening me up to world ridicule. Maybe it was a Jewish conspiracy...)
But I digress. This most recent piece of pernicious fiction being touted as fact uses the same tactics as first Stalin and then Hitler employed to deflect criticism of their actions and rally their masses into a genocidal blood lust. Both Hitler and Stalin accused the Jews of committing the very atrocities they themselves were inflicting. Both also accused the Jews of pursuing the goal of world domination. And so it is with Islam today.
Even before the laughter, derision and criticism have died down regarding Dr. Mahathir?s ignorant and uneducated rantings, the Islamic world is inviting more scorn. This latest television series, entitled The Diaspora, is a long-winded piece of utter fantasy, which takes the actions of Muslims and credits them to the Jews. What actions? Below are some of the scenarios described by Reuters in their article of October 29, 2003, written by Mariam Karouny.
?The show... by a private Syrian company with al-Manar's backing, opens with an actor portraying an early promoter of Zionism telling his children to spread their ideas in Europe. ?Our lord has promised us retribution against those who sent us into exile. For this reason... we must control the world, all of it, through loyal agents in foreign governments,? he says.
?In one yet-to-be-broadcast scene, set on a boat taking Jews to what would become Israel, a Jewish rabbi is portrayed as raping a young woman.?
The series cites The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as its main source of information, as well as the Torah. While it is obvious that the writers and producers of The Diaspora read The Protocols, it is also equally obvious that they never read the Torah. Nowhere in Torah does it command the Hebrew people to aspire to world domination.
On the other hand, Mr. Spokesman-for-the-Islamic-World, (that orator extraordinaire who got a standing ovation from even the so-called moderate Muslims), Dr. Mahathir, outlined Islam?s goal of world domination, and bemoaned the fact that Europe threw off the shackles of Muslim domination, in his recent address to the OIC. Since no one there has repudiated one bit of Dr. Mahathir?s speech, it would be a correct assessment that the Muslim world has as its goal world conquest. Just like Hitler and Stalin.
The timing of this piece of filth is also interesting. It was one year ago, at this time ? during Ramadan ? that Egypt aired it?s 41-part series Horseman Without a Horse, also based upon The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. If I weren?t so politically correct, I could draw the conclusion that Islam is a cult of liars and murderers, who use their supposedly most sacred holiday to inflame their followers into a genocidal rage aimed at, first, the Jews and then the rest of the non-Muslim world.
This television series is also further proof that President Bush, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice are either ignorant, self-deceiving fools, or want to bamboozle the public. Since 9-11, they have been declaring that Islam is a ?peaceful? religion. They declared it last year after the Egyptian series was aired and are still claiming so today. Even if one were to believe them that ?only 10% of Muslims are radical,? that makes 100 million megalomaniacal fanatics on the loose.
However, The Diaspora did get one thing right. There is a conspiracy among the Jews ? at least among this Jew (if you can call a conspiracy of one a conspiracy). I plan not to tell them how Hitler and Stalin?s Soviet Union ended up. If they had bothered to read the whole history, the Muslims would know that anyone who tries to use the Jews as the fall guy for their schemes of world domination ends up by having their regimes fail. Anyone want to join me?
