This article arguing that State and the terrorism completes one another's action and make each other stronger and the movement of people weaker. It tells the readers about the motive of killing innocent people by terrorism is not just ideological factor, in fact there are other reasons for this terrible act. Meanwhile the article urges us not to listen to Media, State and terrorist propaganda that they want to divide us. We should not be deceived and our demos and protests should be against both of them in the same time.
The latest Paris attack, killing 130 people and injuring over 350 more,
again confirms the dangerous world we live in. There is no doubt that
Isis and other terrorist groups, including al-Qaida, Taliban, Boko Haram
and Al-Shabaab, can be fatal and brutal forces bringing death to many
people anywhere across the World including Europe as long as they have a
base inside those countries.
Of course, this makes states, both inside and outside Europe to work
together very closely in gathering and exchanging information against
the groups mentioned above. They also share the same information against
civilians, campaign groups, leftists, socialist and anarchist groups.
A quick look at the recent history of terrorism between Sep 2001 and the
Paris attack on 13/11/15, and the one in Nigeria and Egypt soon after
13/11, shows us that all these attacks targeted people rather than the
state and the current system. Until now, we know that none of these
attacks in Europe targeted senior military officers, police chiefs,
corporate directors, high-ranking spies, senior government officials or
elected politicians (which, by the way, is something I am not hoping
for). This is not just the case in Europe, but applies equally to the
US, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Turkey, Nigeria, Kenai, Mali,
Bali, Bangkok, Tunis, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Israel and Palestine with but
one or two exceptions. The attackers, as always target ordinary people,
including women, children and the elderly.
Regardless of what happened or how it happened, the media and
politicians, as always, try to distort the reality by deceiving people.
They still claim it is a war between “us and them”, and, “a clash of
cultures and civilizations”, and that, “they are against our way of our
life”, and. “they are jealous of us, hate us” and many more.
The media and politicians never ever tell us the truth as to why this
terror happens again and again. They never, ever tell us about the
state's terror against its citizens and the citizens of countries they
have invaded, militarily or economically.
States, banks, corporations, churches, mosques, along with the media,
are all functioning in different ways to protect the current system.
They are the dark forces. The media and the rest of these dark forces
try, deliberately, to hide the reality of the climate that is breeding
terrorists. To blame terrorism only on religious ideology or medieval
mindsets is short-sighted and self-serving. It conveniently obscures the
fact that the foreign policies of the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Russia
and other European countries, are crucial factors. This also means that
a resolution of the Palestine question is not an issue. They do not
want to admit that the state encourages Islam, the opening of hundreds
of Madrassas without involvement in their activities, or any role in
their control and inspection. That said, it is not the duty of the state
to involve itself with Sharia law and its courts or modernizing the
Qur’an which socialises and radicalises young Muslims. The state and the
politicians ignore all these as if they do not play a role in breeding
terrorism.
The media gets its facts wrong in at least three important respects.
Firstly, in general, the terrors of authoritarian Islamists are not
against culture and, to a certain extent, not even against other
religions but against themselves whether Sunni or Shia and,
additionally, against Eyazidis. Secondly, they call these murderers
fanatical Muslims and not the authoritarians they are. The reason for
this is quite clears; to defend the power and authority of the state.
Behind these terrorist acts lies the true brutality of the authority and
domination of the state, corporation, family or any other cells in
society. Thirdly, the Media ignores the fact that the motive of Islamic
authoritarians in killing innocent people in Muslim countries is to gain
power. But their motives in killing people in US and Western Countries,
in fact, is to exact revenge. The clearest evidence was the recent
bringing down of the Russian passenger plane. People in the US, UK and
other countries are, frankly, paying the price of the foreign polices of
their governments. For instance in Paris, before they started killing
people, the attackers chanted Allahu Akbar as they opened fire and also shouted “What you are doing in Syria? You are going to pay for it now”.
A quick look at the history of terrorism shows that the strength of
terrorist groups and the state is demonstrated by using terror actions.
They both play the same game; they make the people’s movements weaker
and weaker and, at the same time, both get stronger. The terror
increases the spirit and feeling of nationalism, racism and fascism. It
makes the state and its brutal institutions, including police and spies,
more attractive to people. A recent Ifop poll published by Le Figaro
and RTL Radio found that 84% of French people were prepared to accept
more controls and a certain limitation on their liberties in order to
guarantee their security. This is the best example to show how terror
action impacts the French people. How they fell into the trap of the
terrorists and the state!
Islamic authoritarian groups use their savage terror to deceive ordinary
people in their own countries by using the actions of the US and the
Western countries against them. Meantime, all states, from democracy to
dictatorship, use the terror actions as a good opportunity to create
more, so-called, anti terrorism laws for “protecting people and their
security”. Many of us know these laws are mainly designed to restrict
our rights, civil liberties, migration and closing borders on refugees.
And these laws, used against activists, seriously threaten the integrity
of the state and the system.
In the countries where the terror happens, citizens are the losers when
they are killed and then their rights and liberties are abolished or
restricted. When the terror happened in Paris, the state announced a
state emergency until Thursday, 19/11. Then Parliament extended it for
another three months by 551 votes in favour with only three Socialist
and three Green Party MPs abstaining. The state of emergency includes;
expanding powers to immediately place any person under house arrest if
there are “serious reasons to think their behavior is a threat to
security or public order”, more scope to dissolve groups or associations
that participate in, facilitate or incite acts that are a threat to
public order, extending freedom to carry out searches without warrants
and to copy data from any computer system found, increasing the capacity
to block websites that “encourage” terrorism, extending detention from
24 to 72 hours and banning demonstrations, marches, and protests
including the big march, estimated to attract 200,000 people, ahead of
the UN Climate Change talks in Paris on 28/11. And now we can see a
state of emergency is in place in Brussels whilst nothing is happening
there. This is what terrorism actually wants.
Terrorism does not threaten the integrity of the state. In fact, it
makes it stronger. The state is continuously conspiring against its
citizens so that, when the terror takes place, then it will be easier
for the state to implement its brutal agendas and policies, without much
resistance. We must not be deceived by state lies and propaganda. We
are, as a people, facing two major threats; one from the state and the
other from terrorist groups which is why it is important that any
demonstrations, marches or protests against terrorism must be,
simultaneously, against the state too.
