It was appalling to watch some of the
gruesome executions carried out by the ISIS in Northern Iraq in the last two or
three weeks. The militants are on a rampage to terminate Yazidis and
Christians. I was particularly disheartened by executions by beastly goons who
fight in the name of Islam state. If I ask any of my Muslim friends, is it
justifiable to kill Christians and Yazidis in order to create a pure Muslim
state? I am sure they would tell me a negative response. Al Jazeera reported
this week that ISIS has carried out about 700 executions in Iraq and most of
the people executed are innocent civilians. Another report notified that many
of the women from Sinjar were captured after killing their men. What is the
fate of these women, it is suspected that they have been sold as slaves. I am
not going to give a detailed report of what is happening in Mosul, Sinjar and
other parts of Northern Iraq, but I want to draw our attention to the desperate
cry for help of thousands of innocent people who are like lambs at the
slaughterhouse.
I am inclined to think like the most
victims in Iraq that America created this mess, so they have to clean it up.
Well, do we really think America created this situation. I would like to
sympathise with America for only one reason that they went to Iraq not to
create mess but probably they wanted to get a clean chip on nuclear weapons of
mass destruction so that our world is safe. Hence, they hunted the then leader
of Iraq Saddam Hussein. This project was successful and whole world applauded
the successful effort of America in capturing the leader. For America, I think
the goal set was achieved but then they never imagined that they would be
creating many beastly militants in Iraq. Probably America was too optimistic on
allowing the local Iraqis to create their own system, which would ultimately
bring peace and tranquillity to the nation.
One of the videos that were posted on
YouTube, in fact a news report to show to the international community how
Christians are suffering. One of the women bluntly says, “America is the master
of all nations, as it entered Iraq, its has responsibility to defend its
Christians”. America, as
usual big brother entered Iraq in order to over throw the power of Saddam but
did America really succeed in bringing peace to the land. Of course not,
instead they created more beastly people who are on a rampage to terminate the
Christians and Yazidis. Thousands of people pleading the US to help the
innocent Iraqi Christians by sending testimonies and asking American government
to intervene. This is all good, because indeed America can send its powerful
marines to destroy the stronghold of the ISIS militants, but I have issues with
that, will America protect the Iraqis always?
Militants are something like the termites,
one might think they have eliminated the termites by pesticiding them but next
morning you will find more termites welling up from the ground. Can America
really eliminate perpetrators and restore peace? Yes and No. Peace could be
restored but it would be momentary. Hence my appeal to the US is this, if you
go into Iraq now, which is a dire necessity as local people express, you got to
make sure you are not creating another mess. In other words, you are not
creating more termites, which will eventually come on rampage to destroy the
innocent, and this time the strike will be heavier to bear. Hence, America must
act without fail because of their ability to combat terrorism, but make sure
you come out clean from Iraq. It is not wise to pull out from Iraq before you
really uproot beastly termite hill. It is not an easy road to take but not an
impossible. Let us hope that the intervention by America may be a successful
and fruitful one. But having said this, I strongly feel that someone has to
intervene and stop the slaughter of the innocent blood.
