Francis Fukuyama's , 1989 "The End of History."

Liberal democracy had conquered, once and for all, rival ideologies such as fascism and communism.

………therefore our heroes need to create another force of evil.. i.e the Muslims a.k.a Islam.

1993, Clash of Civilisation"In this new world," wrote Huntington, "the principal conflicts of global politics will occur between nations and groups of different civilizations…. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future." Majority of conflicts since the end of the Cold War have been civil wars. The interesting thing is that only a minority of them have conformed to Huntington's model of inter-civilization wars.

Therefore the "clash of civilizations," shall be read as the "crash of civilizations."

Samuel Huntington

But …………..who formulated the points: -

• Muslims are dangerous, • they, i.e. Muslims, are trying to destroy our (US, UK, Australian) way of life • all Arab and Muslim governments in the Middle East that are not subservient to US are illegitimate, • these governments were somehow involved in terrorism and 9/11, • the defence of Israel is the defence of Western values (i.e. US values).

Is there a hidden world agenda ?

A few people and a handful of powerful groups control  the expanding media and leisure market spanning film, television, book publishing, music, news online media, theme parks, sport, the print media, cyber media, internet and even the theatres can manipulate the world.

Minister of Propaganda

"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly ... it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." Therefore ……….The Muslims are always portrayed as terrorists, terrorist sympathisers, or refugees running from Islam….. ……………unconsciously you are being prepared to believe the stereotypical caricature of the Muslims.

Sir,

What hope do we have of winning the hearts and minds of Muslims when we insult them? We tell them that the problem with Islamic nations is that they are not democratic. Then we condemn them for daring to vote in a party we don’t like in Palestine, and next we make fun of their most sacred symbols. Why should they trust democracy when we only use it to attack them?

ROGER SCRUTON, Philosopher

“People of different religions or none can co-exist — so we hope, and so we have reason to believe. But co-existence with someone requires respect for the icons, rituals and symbols of his faith. “It is as wrong to mock the religious taboos of a Muslim as it is to pour scorn on the icons of Christianity. Unfortunately, because we have got used to the continual childish blasphemy against the Christian faith that passes for sophistication in the film industry, on television and in the art schools, we think that others, whose experience of Western society is more recent and who are not yet inoculated against its hooligan iconoclasm, will also respond with a saddened shrug when people pour scorn on their faith.

“We have so lost the habit of respect for sacred things that we are astonished to discover that others can still be devastated by public acts of desecration. This kind of blasphemy is not a form of free speech, any more than pornography is. On the contrary, it is the kind of behaviour that makes free speech impossible.”

Do these actions justifies Muslims as terrorists ?

Certainly this is not done by Muslims.

We got peace at last by the death of millions of people

22

If we had suffered so much from war before we can get peace again, why should we start a war?

Peace can be very easy to keep, but can also be very difficult to regain.

Don’t start a war.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.

I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.

We seldom think ofwhat we have,

but always think ofwhat we miss.

Let's be grateful for those who give us happiness; they are the charming gardeners who make our soul bloom.

Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. Shaw was a freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Shaw accepted the honour but refused the money.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

“The world is in dire need of a man with the mind of Muhammad; religious people in the Middle Ages, due to their ignorance and prejudice, had pictured him in a very dark way as they used to consider him the enemy of Christianity. But after looking into the story of this man I found it to be an amazing and a miraculous one, and I came to the conclusion that he was never an enemy of Christianity, and must be called instead the savior of humanity. In my opinion, if he was to be given control over the world today, he would solve our problems and secure the peace and happiness which the world is longing for.”

George Bernard Shaw

“Allâh has promised the believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss.

But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allâh: that is the supreme success.”

(Qur'an 9:72)
