The West and Political Islam (2)

There is a deep need to get rid of the West-Islamic relationship that is based on militancy from both sides, and that the assessment of Muslims should be carried out on the basis of the general thought of Islam and based upon the tolerance of the Islamic believes.

Moreover, there is a need for an interaction with the western media through the implementation of an organized strategy to counter “Islamophobia,”. Moreover, there is a great importance in opening information offices in the world capitals and the appointment of personnel assigned to send the positive true image of Islam.

Attention should be devoted to a joint Islamic media work for the defense of the nation’s issues and the advancement of its rights and image, especially the Palestinian issue and the issue of Jerusalem, which has special priority in the world’s concerns.

This joint Islamic media work should take into account the geography of the Islamic world with its fifty seven countries, which extends from Indonesia in the east to French Guiana and Suriname in the west, as well as all Muslim communities.Islamic countries should also speak up about the truth behind what is happening in Syria as a Muslim country. They should show their stand from the negative occurring developments, especially in light of the deepening of the crisis with the continued massacres with the hands of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Islamic countries strongly condemn, with all possible means, those latest massacres committed by the forces of al-Assad which ended the lives of dozens of children, women and men using heavy weapons.

Muslim Arabs also stress that those soldiers committing such crimes have been stripped of all human values and religious principles, disguising the true teachings of Islam that protects the sanctity of human life and calls for the protection and prohibits the killing of innocent people or causing harm civilians.

Arabs call for the punishment of the criminals committing these massacres, stressing the primary responsibility of the Syrian government in maintaining the security and integrity of the Syrian people, pointing out that the shedding of man’s blood is even more forbidden in Islam with having many sacred months.

More calls for the Security Council to take firm actions and fast to stop the killing and shedding of the blood of the innocent and condemning the massacres committed against civilians in Syria.

The west must know well that what is happening in Syria is not a sectarian conflict, but it is the people’s will to get rid of an authoritarian family system that continues to reign in the country for 40 years ago, and the requirement to achieve a comprehensive reform of the radical move to another era dominated by a democratic system.
