Im reading Dominique Lapierre’s ‘is New York burning?’ these days. The plot is being set to plant a nuke in the heart of NYC. The plan is the brainchild of some of the world’s most wanted terrorists, including the kingpin Osama himself, who is heading this ‘jihad’ against the ‘land of satan’ and the ‘infidel Bush’!!
One of the instigators of this holy war is another person, the right hand man of Saddam! He is here to avenge the soul and spirit of Saddam, who will soon begin degenerating in an American cell as a POW!!
Here, the aim of planting the bomb is to make the American prez to get the Israelies to remove their illegal settlements in Palestine, and also, of course, to take revenge for the thousands of muslims killed there!!

So that was what the plot is all about…and it got me to thinking that Osama’s Al qaeda and other similar organizations pursuing the path to allah, are fundamentally struggling to achieve a single goal….to protect the muslim cult all over the world!! I mean all that the man wants is for the rest of the world to treat the children of allah with due respect just as any other human is entitled to! And to attain that, he is willing to blow up an entire city full of innocent people…many of whom are not even American!!

But this was not what I was trying to get at!! What im saying, after careful introspection, is that in life one has to struggle, persevere and be resilient, to say the least!!! But does this effort…this struggle, mean anything if the cause is not just??? On the other hand what may seem just and relevant to you might not actually be so for the others!! In which case, would your strive account for anything at all?? Or would you go ahead anyway and not care a rat’s ass about the others???!!

Osama’a cause is supported by millions of subjugated muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine. People who are consumed with unadulterated abhorrence towards the American president for waltzing into their country and annihilating it and as a consequence wiping off their homes and the meaning of their meager lives!!! So, what most of us denounce as the act of a vile and sick man, is actually the act of the messiah himself, for these poor people!!

Ps: before you rush to hound me down and kill me, let me say that the above written does not mean that I support the Bin Laden clan. Nor should this imply that im trying to justify his actions and his means of revenge. What I am validating is his cause and I support that!!
