Islamic Ideology

A note to God: When the extreme becomes godless

Hassan Al-Haifi (commonsense@yemen.net.ye)

"Son, it really depends on how much conscientiousness one has. You see, people of true and sincere faith in God already have it made as to how to worship God and more importantly how to deal with the day to day chores of living. God must be more than just someone we bow and pray to or write notes to. God is more than some Being we claim to call on us in our sleep and ask us to deliver mankind. God is certainly not some Deity, who demands of us to blow half the world in HIS NAME, as some of our misguided Wahhabi so called Jihadists contend. All of these nincompoops are not doing God any favors by claiming to correspond with Him, each in his own way."

"Oh Mom! You do not believe that Barack Obama was really writing to God when he wrote that controversial note at the Wailing Wall. He knew of course that he was not really being himself, when he was being "politically" coerced to make a few shakes at the Wailing Wall, just so to placate a few Jewish voters in the United States and to keep the American Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC off his back.

You see that is what I mean, by the hypocrisy of it all. In the United States, we have Christians who are now actually thinking that it is better to get all the Jews into the Holy Land and obliterate them once and for all. These are called the Neo-Conservative Christians, who see this as the only way to be ready for the approaching Judgment Day.

Current affairs

Did Mauritania really need a coup? Only Riyadh knows for sure!

By: Hassan Al-Haifi

Needless to say, it is not an inescapable secret that what prompted the generals of Mauritania to come wrest their people of their God given and hard won freedom and democracy is that bastion of anti-democratic maturity, were the Bedouins who have been the enemies of all oppressed people in the region from the Atlantic to the Gulf (Persian that is, according to the standard definition of "Gulf", as much as it is to the dislike of our Northern neighbours). Yes, from Yemen to the Sudan and now to Mauritania, there is no doubt in the observer's intuition that our beloved northern neighbours have a hobby of pouring their dough on the barracks of deprived soldiers, who are all of a sudden awash with hundred dollar bills, which they could never in the past dream of seeing with their very eyes, let alone holding in their very hands! Time and again, the Saudi penchant for overthrowing democratic regimes, before they have a chance to get off the ground has sprung up again in the far corner of the Maghreb Al-Arabi to ensure that the model democracy initiated by Col. Ely Ould Mohamed Vall, who took over at Nouakchott to free Mauritania from a previous oppressive military regime to herald his country onto the path of righteous government: for the people, by the people and for the eternal welfare of the people – a distant cry from the idea of governance as the Saudis understand it.

“Libya and Iran financing Al-Qaeda in Yemen”: The Saudi Gazette Should Really Know Better

Hassan Al-Haifi (commonsense@yemen.net.ye)

One is not here trying to smear the glorious bloody past of the Wahhabi Movement. Not that their past should be ignored, but one can state for certain that intra-sectarian bloody conflict between Moslems is virtually non-existent since the Prophet Mohammed's days until the Wahhabis came into being. Sure there was politically related Moslem bloodshed, but never was this fuelled by how long your beard is, or where you place your hands while standing in prayer and some of the other very secondary issues, in which Moslems might differ, which to the Wahhabis can be ground for war or for repression, if you are living in a Wahhabi regime. There have only been two countries that have succumbed to Wahhabi regimes (Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan under the Taliban), and in both cases it was by the use of repressive force. Ironically, there is a suspicious historical collusion between the Wahhabi movement and the British Crown (see Wahhabi Past), but that is a long story and there are enough sources in the internet and elsewhere that covers it.

Surviving in a Culture of Hate

After 60 Years, There is Nothing to Celebrate for the Palestinians

By Hassan Al-Haifi (commonsense@yemen.net.ye)

Much of the feedback to this column tries to sidetrack the efforts of disclosing the truth about the horrors of a Zionist hate filled culture, by suggesting that such criticism shout be targeted towards combating the evils of our own doing (i.e., the results of the calamities imposed on the Arab countries by the misdeeds of the majority of the leaders in the region). This can be answered with ease by reminding these systematic responses by elements set up as part of the sophisticated IZE media complex that it is the IZE that actually worked to encourage the existence of these monstrosities of governance called the Arab political regimes, most of which are looked upon with the utmost of contempt by their respective constituencies. Surely, there is an irony in calling for advocacy against regimes that are actually essential to the continuous existence of the State of Israel, and were actually instrumental to assuring the survival and expansion of this rouge State of Israel, some of them knowingly so, while others because of their naiveté or their misguided gullibility. Yet the IZE has managed to use these thorns in the midst of the Arab Nation to convince the Western ears and eyes that the state created by the IZE is the ideal model of governance and goodwill, and is commensurate with all the "values" that Western culture has evolved over the years.
