Bangalore: Western Christian countries, which see Islam ads a threat to their permissive life, have once again conspired for attack Iraq using the henpecked United Nations. Islamic “fundamentalism” has how replaced communism. If is seen as a threat for Western security.
John Esposito, a leading US specialist on Islam, shows in new book. The Islamic Threat: Myth or-reality? (Oxford S$ 22), that this view is indeed held by many influential people in the US.
It is probably even more widely held in Europe. The normally sober Economist magazine, in its imaginative history of the 21st century published in December, sees a new Arab-Islamic superpower, with Iran and Pakistan as satellites going for alliance with China for subdue Russia. India’s Brahminical rulers in their new guise as Hindutva heroes are getting full support from west for contain if not crush Muslims. Babri Masjid beast is a part of this plot. DV has forecast all this long back. (DV Edit March 16 1992; “Why whole world hate Muslims & Islam”)
