Extremism, how to deal with it?
Religious extremism of Islam is presently the subject of discussion today. It is believed that this extremism started by king Saudi’s family from Saudi Arabia. The history says, in year 1744 AD, Muhammad Ibna Abda Al Vahab, a Muslim priest and preacher came to the camp of Muhammad Ibna Saudi at his estate in Riyadh. He stayed there for some time. Vahab’s intention was to preach Islam of his interpretation and convert all people to his cult of Islam. He claimed that he and only he knew the real meaning of the teachings of Islam. He proclaimed through his teachings that one must pray to only Allah and not even to bother to respect other saints in the Islamic tradition. For spreading his message to other people he needed support of some ruler. At Riyadh he went into the agreement with Muhammad Ibna Saudi, the ruler of that place and according to that Saudi shall support Vahab and Vahab will consent to whatever Saudi shall do by admitting that Koran supports Saudi in whatever he does. With this agreement Vahab actually executed many places of Islamic saints called Pir and distorted the shrines and mausoleums. Vahab proclaimed that even to think of anything other than Allah is sacrilege and so, whoever indulged in such acts is killed in the most unceremonious manner. He actually did so with the help of Saudi. In return Saudi developed ambition for larger terrain and began to show aggression to the neighbouring areas in and around Red Sea to Gulf of Iran. He conquered two most important places for Islam, Mecca and Medina. During 1818 Ottoman Empire defeated King Saudi and he had to flee to Kuwait. In due course Saudi again attacked Rashid’s army and regained hold of Riyadh. Vahab realized that it is not possible to spread message of his Islam by conquering lands, it is a very tedious and arduous way and so he began to think of some thing more subtle. He invented extremism and guerrilla warfare. He decided to use method of terror to force people to accept his concept of Islam per force in the Islamic world.
Present Saudi Arabia was established in 1932 and an American company, discovered first fossil oil well in the Saudi Arabia around 1936. Ever since, American hold became stronger on this land of oil. Vahabis did not like that situation but could not do much but to revenge that they began to indulge in extremist activities using guerrilla warfare to disturb America.
It is claimed by some experts that Islamic extremism under Taliban is related to the hold of America on Saudi Arabia. If Americans release their hold on this Arabian kingdom, automatically this extremism will wean away. Hatred is the main approach of these extremists. There is a method in hatred and that is put to use very efficiently by the followers of vahabian extremism.
That method works like this. Hatred for any one thing could be converted into hatred for another thing was the principle used to spread hatred amongst people. For example, hatred for rich by poor can be converted into hatred for community who is usually well placed financially. If a religion is equated with a community who is rich then hatred for rich is convertible into hatred for that community and their religion also. This method is used by many organisations to spread hatred amongst communities in the world by other extremist forces also. That includes extremist activist like Naxalites, communists and R.S.S. Extremism is practiced and spread by hatred only. Revenge is the ultimate aim of all the activities of extremists. Ordinary man or woman is always in the state of hatred for something or the other and that makes this process very easy. People are always complaining about better placed ones and this temperament can be converted into fully fledged extremestic attitude. Vahabis knew this fact and they used it to spread message of hatred amongst those people by propagating amongst these people to spread desire for revenge. This method is not new. Communists used it to spread communism. Brahmanic chauvinism was spread through their organ Rashtria Swayansevak Sangh and if you read the lectures of Dr. Golwalkar one can understand how the message of hatred is spread to develop enmity amongst communities. Vahabis did the same thing. The difference between Vahabi propaganda and that made by Dr. Golwalkar against Muslims is in degrees. One can say Dr. Golwalkar’s propaganda was milder and that by Vahabis is very caustic. Both wanted to destroy the other community. Golwalkar only talked of it but could not implement it while Vahabis actually implemented it by doing all types of destruction of hated community.
Another important aspect of this attitude of hatred is that it is in a way habit forming. That means if one develops hatred for some body or something then after annihilation of that his desire for hatred begins to find something else to hate; and the experience is that they do find something very weak and unprotected something and then the hatred campaign continues against that. The process of hatred continues unabated. Any amount of pacifying efforts tried by other agencies to appease these haters makes them more revengeful and it looks that the disease of hatred continues to grow relentlessly. Extreme measures suggested for this disease is to kill those people. However, civilized society does not accept that approach.
Some psychologists say, sadism is behind the extremestic activities and these people who propagate it are actually psychologically sick. They need treatment to correct their values of life. Those who follow the path of extremestic approach under the influence of the propagators are to be treated differently than those who propagate message of hatred. One more important angle to extremism is also found and that says that there are two types of extremists, one due to superioritive complex and other due to inferioritive complex. Vahabi’s al-Quada and Taliban and such extremist forces come under superioritive complex also Brahmanic extremism of Dr. Golwalkar comes under R.S.S is superioritive complex while that under Naxalites and Communists is due to inferioritive complex. Extremestic behaviour of white people in America and in South Africa with non-white comes under superioritive complex.
Experts suggest that extremism under inferioritive complex can be treated and by giving the have-nots what they want (normally their demands are minimal) these people are cured of the disease. But with extremism due to superioritive complex things are difficult to treat. They never respond to the treatment and so with them the extreme measure of killing them is the only way remains to save the society from their activities.
When I studied the extremestic tactics practised by R.S.S under the influence of Dr. Hedgewar and Dr. Golwalkar, I found some very interesting things. Today’s Brahman community is mostly free from either superioritive complex or inferioritive complex and since they do not harbour these defects all attempts of R.S.S failed utterly in getting any response from the Brahmans themselves. As a result these R.S.S. people began to practice constructive activities by opening NGOs to help other lesser lucky sections of the society and I can say surely that this approach of Brahman community literally converted these potentially extremists into moderates. Similarly outcry of many civilized Europeans and American whites controlled the extremestic activities of sadist whites and their extremestic activities are now under control save some stray occurrences.
This observation suggests that extremestic activities of Taliban and other related groups can be controlled if civilized Muslim people be firm and openly and firmly declares these activists as absolutely anti-Islamic and create wide propaganda to dismantle their hold on Muslim community.
But things are not so easy. We see that, desire to hate can be transferred from one topic to other and so find that, some people who are naturally sadistic in their approach to life and towards other people can be always available to Taliban. They enjoy violence and would like to indulge in it under any pretext. Islam or otherwise, they will continue their sadistic activities and commit violent acts. Mostly they are under superioritive complex and so these people are permanently incurable as such, the only way to save society from them is to destroy them. They are like gangrene, as we prefer to cut away that part of the body affected by gangrene, these people must be killed in the most unceremonious way without any remorse without waiting for the sombre law to act.
One more approach is based on observation that all Taliban and al-Quada activities are fuelled by petrol money and so long as this money is available their nefarious activities will continue irrespective of what stringent measures are taken to control them. This suggests that an alternative to petrol such as alcofuel of which I had discussed previously in this blog should be considered very seriously by developed countries and petroleum Companies. If petrol and those fuels are replaced by this new alternative fuel automatically petrol money will not be available and that will kill these set-ups. This option will permanently cure this disease of Extremism.
As usual I request the readers to send in their comments and let me know how they feel about my rendering on this subject. Do you agree that they must be destroyed?
