BRITISH ENMITY AGAINST ISLAM
People who read the British spy's
confessions given in the first section will have
an idea of what the British think about Muslims
throughout the world. The following is an
account of how British spies have applied the
orders they received from the Ministry of
Commonwealth on the world's Muslims and what
activities the missionaries have been carrying
on.
The British are a conceited and
arrogant people. The high value which they
attach to themselves and to their own country
leaves its place to a symmetrical detestation
when it comes to other people and their
countries.
According to the British, there
are three groups of people on the earth: The
first group are the British, who are self-portraited
as the most developed beings Allah has ever
created in the human form. The second group are
the white-colored Europeans and Americans. These
people may also be worthy of respect, as they so
generously admit. The third group are the people
who have not had the luck of being born in
either of the first two groups. They are the
sort of creatures between human beings and
animals. They are not worthy of respect at all;
nor do they deserve such things as freedom,
independence or a country. They have been
created for living under others' domination,
especially that of the British.
Holding such a prejudice about
other people, the British never live among the
inhabitants of their colonies. Throughout their
colonies there are clubs, casinos, restaurants,
baths, and even stores that are open only to
British people. Native people cannot enter these
places.
French writer Marcelle Perneau,
who is famous for his travels to India in the
early twentieth century, gives the following
account in his Notes on My Travel to India:
"I made an appointment with an
Indian scholar, who was widely known in Europe,
so much so that he had been granted
professorship by some universities; we decided
to meet in a British club in India. When the
Indian arrived, the British did not let him in,
disignoring his fame. It was only after I found
out what was happening and insisted that I was
able to see the Indian in the club."
The British have treated other
people with such cruelty as could not be
inflicted on animals.
Their biggest colony is India,
where they perpetrated savage, sadistic
cruelties for years; in the Amritsar city of
this country a group of Hindus who had come
together for a religious rite did not pay due
respect to a British woman missionary. The
missionary complained to the British General
Dyer. Upon this the general ordered his soldiers
to open fire on the people performing their
rite. Seven hundred people were killed in ten
minutes, and more than a thousand people were
wounded. Unsatisfied with this, the general
forced the people to walk on their hands and
feet like animals for three days. A complaint
was filed and reported to London, whereupon the
government issued an order for an investigation.
When the inspector sent forth to
India for the investigation asked the general
for what reason he had ordered his soldiers to
open fire on defenseless people, the general
answered, "I am the commander here. I make the
decisions about the military executions here. I
ordered so because I considered it right." When
the inspector asked what was the reason for his
ordering the people to crawl face downwards, the
general answered, "Some Indians crawl face
downwards in front of their gods. I wanted them
to know that a British woman is as sacred as a
Hindu god, and, therefore, they have to crawl in
front of her, too, let alone insulting her." And
when the inspector reminded him that the people
would have to go out for shopping and other
things, the general's answer was, "If these
people were human beings they would not crawl on
their faces in the streets. They live in
adjacent houses with flat roofs. They would walk
on their roofs like human beings." These
statements of the general's were publicized by
the British press and the general was declared a
hero. [Dyer, Reginald Edward Harry was born in
1281 [A.D. 1864] and died in London in 1346
[A.D. 1927]. The world's histories mention him
as "The famous British general who quelled the
riots against the British oppression in Amritsar
city by turning the city into a lake of blood on
April 13, 1919." When large mass demonstrations
against the British were staged all over India,
he was discharged from office and retired.
However, the British House of Lords decided that
his deeds deserved laud and praise, and he must
therefore be supported. This fact makes it quite
clear how British lords and counts look on other
peoples].
The British apply a different
administrative system in their colonies with
white and originally European people than the
one by which they colonize countries whose
people are colored and aboriginal. The first
group are privileged; that is, they are partly
autonomous. The second group moan with the pains
of cruelty. This second group of their colonies,
which they call 'Dominions', have self-governing
states in their internal affairs, while they are
under British domination in their external
matters. Examples of these colonies are Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, etc.
Matters concerning the colonies
have been assigned to two ministries. They are
the Ministry of the Commonwealth, and the
Ministry of India. The Ministry of the
Commonwealth is presided over by Secretary of
State for the Colonial Department. This
secretary (or minister) has two councillors and
four assistants. One of the councillors is
chosen from among the House of Commons. The
other councillor and the assistants are in
office permanently. Change of power will not
cause them to lose their office. One of the four
assistants are in charge of matters concerning
Canada, Australia, and some islands, another one
is responsible for Southern Africa, a third one
governs Eastern and Western Africa, and the last
one has been assigned to India.
Based on a fetid foundation, a
mixture of hostility against Islam, despotism,
trickery and turpitude, the British Empire
formerly called itself a state on which "the sun
never sets". Such countries as Canada, South
Africa, Fiji, the Pacific Islands, Papua, Tonga,
Australia, the British Baluchistan, Burma, Aden,
Somali, Borneo, Brunei, Sarawak, India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia,
Hong-Kong, a part of China, Cyprus, Malta, (and
in 1300 [A.D. 1882]) Egypt, Sudan, Niger,
Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia,
Malawi, Bahamas, Grenada, Guiana (Guyana),
Bostwana, Gambia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Tanzania,
and Singapore were brought under the British
sway. These countries of the world lost their
religions, languages, customs and traditions. In
addition, their sources and resources were
exploited by the British.
At the end of their invasions in
the nineteenth century, the Empire took
possession of approximately one-fourth of the
earth's surface, colonizing more than one-fourth
of the earth's population.
India was the most significant,
the most outstanding of the British colonies. It
was India's tremendous population of over three
hundred million [well over seven hundred million
as of today] and its inexhaustible natural
wealth that earned the British their universal
domination. In the First World War alone,
Britain utilized one and a half million of
India's population as fighting soldiers and one
billion rupees of its treasury as ready money.
They used most of these assets in smashing the
Ottoman Empire. In peace time as well, it was
India that helped Britain's stupendous
industries to survive and sustained the British
economy and finance. There were two reasons for
India's being an incomparably important colony:
First, India was a country where Islam, which
the British considered to be the greatest
hindrance to their exploiting the whole world,
was widespread, and Muslims were in the
ascendant in this country. Second, India's
natural riches.
In order to keep India under
their domination, the British mounted offensives
on all the Muslim countries that had transport
links with India, sowed seeds of mischief and
instigation, set brothers against one another,
took these countries under their domination, and
transported all their natural riches and
national wealth back to their own country.
The perfidious character inherent
in the nature of the British policy proves
itself in that they meticulously followed the
movements in the Ottoman Empire, set the
Ottomans on a war with the Russians by using all
sorts of political stratagems, and thus put them
into the position that it would be impossible
for them to offer any help to India.
The European pioneers of India
are the Portuguese. Landing in the port city
named Calcutta in India's coastal Malabar region
in 904 [A.D. 1498], the Portuguese engaged in
trade and took possession of India's trade
business, only to lose it to the Dutch some time
later. Those who snatched India's trade from the
Dutch were the French. It was not long after
that, however, that these people confronted with
the British.
As it is related in the book
As-Sawrat-ul-Hindiyya, (which means 'the Indian
Revolution'), written by Allama Muhammad
Fadl-i-Haqq Khayr-abadi, one of India's great
Islamic scholars, and in its commentary entitled
Al-yawakit-ul-mihriyya, it was in the year 1008
[A.D. 1600] when the British first managed to
take Akbar Shah's permission to open trade
centers in Calcutta, India. The same year Queen
Elizabeth I sanctioned the regulations for the
East Indian Campaign. In accordance with these
regulations, the campaign was granted permission
to recruit soldiers in Britain, to arm them for
its own use, to establish a fleet of its own,
and to organize military and commercial
expeditions to India.
They bought land in Calcutta in
the time of Shah-i- 'Alam I (77). They brought
soldiers with the pretext of protecting their
land. Akbar Shah was a corrupt person in creedal
matters. He held all religions equal. In fact,
he convened scholars from various religions and
attempted to establish a common, universal
religion, a mixture of all religions, and made
an official announcement of this new religion,
which he named Din-i-ilahi (Divine Religion), in
990 [A.D. 1582]. From that time up until his
death, respect for Islamic scholars continuously
decreased all over India, especially in the
palace, and people who tended towards Akbar
Shah's religion were esteemed highly. It was
during those days when the British entered
India. In return for their successful medical
treatment of Sultan Farruh Seer Shah in 1126
[A.D. 1714], they were awarded the privilege of
buying land anywhere they liked throughout
India. After Shah-i-'Alam II mounted the throne
1174 [A.D. 1760], they extended their domination
from Bengal to Central India and Racasthan. They
aroused mischief and tumults everywhere in
India. In 1218 [A.D. 1803] the British
eventually managed to take Shah-i-'Alam II
completely under their authority. The orders
which they announced from Delhi were now being
issued in the name of the Shah. It did not take
them long to equalize the powers of the British
governor general with those of Shah-i-'Alam II.
They deleted the names of the Muslim Indian
emperors from the Indian monetary coins. In 1253
[C.E. 1837] Bahadir Shah II became the emperor.
He could not stand the British oppressions long
and, encouraged by the army and the people,
commenced a great insurrection against the
British in 1274 [A.D. 1857]. Thus, he managed to
have money coined bearing his name and to have
the khutba given with his name mentioned in it,
yet the British reaction to this was extremely
vehement and cruel. Entering Delhi, the British
soldiers made havoc of the city, ransacked
houses and shops, and pillaged whatever they
found in the name of property and money. They
put all Muslims to the sword, regardless of
whether they were young or old, male or female,
adult or infant. It was such a massive
destruction that the people could not even find
any water to drink.
One of the commanders of Bahadir
Shah II, a general named Baht Khan, persuaded
the Sultan to withdraw his army. However,
another commander named Mirza Ilahi Bakhsh, in
an effort to ingratiate himself with the
British, misled Bahadir Shah, saying that if he
left his army and surrendered he would be able
to convince the British that he was innocent and
had been forced to preside over the insurrection
and thus would be forgiven by the British. So
Bahadir Shah left the main body of his
retreating army and took asylum in Humayun
Shah's mausoleum, ten kilometers from a place
called Kal'a-i- Mualla within Delhi.
A traitor named Rajab Ali
betrayed the Emperor to a British priest named
Hudson, who was notorious for immoral and
maladroit acts and was serving as an
intelligence officer in the British army. This
man, in his turn, reported the situation to
General Wilson, the then Army Commander, and
asked for his help to arrest the Emperor. When
Wilson answered that he did not have any
mercenaries to lend him, Hudson suggested that
he could do this job with a few men, advising
that the Emperor must be given the guarantee
that he and his family would not be harmed if he
surrendered. At first Wilson refused this
suggestion, but after a while he agreed. Upon
this Hudson, taking ninety men with him, went to
Humayun Shah's mausoleum and assured the Emperor
that no harm would be inflicted on him, his sons
and wife. Falling for the priest's promise,
Bahadir Shah surrendered. The Emperor had two
sons and a grandson who had not surrendered yet.
So Hudson set about to arrest them. Yet they had
so many guards that it was impossible to arrest
them. Therefore he took General Wilson's
permission to give them the guarantee that they
would not be harmed if they surrendered. Sending
various messengers to the Emperor's two sons and
grandson, Hudson, the villain, assured them that
they would not be harmed. These people also were
taken in by the priest's lies and surrendered.
As soon as Hudson arrested the Emperor's two
sons and grandson, by having recourse to a
policy and stratagem peculiar to the British, he
cast them into chains.
As the Shah's two sons and
grandson were being taken to Delhi with their
hands tied, Hudson had the young princes
stripped of their clothes and he martyred them
himself by firing bullets into their chests. He
drank from their blood. He had the corpses of
these young martyrs hung by the fortress gate in
order to intimidate the people. The following
day he sent their heads to the British governor
general Henry Bernard. Then, he had a bowl of
soup made from the martyrs' flesh and sent it to
the Shah and his spouse. Being very hungry, they
hastily put some into their mouths. Yet,
although they did not know what kind of meat it
was, they could not chew it or swallow it.
Instead, they vomited and put the soup dishes on
the floor. The villian named Hudson said, "Why
don't you eat it. It is delicious soup. I had it
cooked from your sons' flesh."
In 1275 [A.D. 1858] Bahadir Shah
II was dethroned and was subjected to a judicial
trial for the crime of causing rebellion and
massacre of Europeans. On March 29, he was
sentenced to life imprisonment and was banished
to Indo-China [Rangun]. It was during November
of 1279 [A.D. 1862] that this last Sultan of the
Islamic GhurGhani Empire, Bahadir Shah, passed
away in a dungeon far from his country. On the
other hand, Allama (Muhammad) Fadl-i-Haqq was
martyred by the British in a dungeon on the
Andaman Islands in 1278 [C.E. 1861].
During the Ottoman-Russian War,
in 1294 [C.E. 1877], the British declared India
a British dependency. By submerging the Ottoman
Empire into this war, Midhat Pasha, a registered
member of the notorious Scotch Masonic Lodge,
orchestrated the worst of the damage he had
inflicted on the Islamic religion. His having
martyred Sultan Abd-ul-'Aziz Khan was another
favor he did for the British. The British had
trained special agents and had them appointed to
high ranking positions in the Ottoman
government. These statesmen were Ottoman in name
but British in mind and speech. Mustafa Rashid
Pasha, the most infamous of these men, had been
in office as the last Grand Vizier only six days
when he congratulated the British for the Delhi
massacre they perpetrated on the Muslims of
India on 28 Oct. 1857. Earlier than that, the
British had asked permission from the Ottomans
to use the Egyptian route for the dispatch of
the British soldiers coming from Britain to
suppress the Muslims who had revolted against
the British cruelty in India. The permission had
been provided by the masonic agents.
The British not only prevented
the opening of new schools in India, but they
also closed all the madrasas and the primary
schools which were the foundations and the most
salient symbols of the Islamic Shariat, and they
martyred all the scholars and religious
authorities who could have led the people. At
this point we consider it appropriate to relate
a real story that a friend of ours told us when
he was back from his travels to India and
Pakistan in 1391 [A.D. 1971]
"After visiting the graves of the
Awliya, such as Imam-i-Rabbani and others
'qaddas-allahu sirrah' in Serhend city, I went
to Paniput city, and thence to Delhi. Performing
the Friday prayer in the biggest mosque in
Paniput. I went to the imam's house upon his
invitation. On the way I saw a huge door locked
with a chain with thick rings. The inscription
on the door said it had been a primary school I
asked the imam why it was locked. The imam said,
"It has been closed since 1367 [A.D. 1947]. The
British provoked the Hindus against the Muslims
and caused a massacre of all the Muslims, women,
men, children and old people, all of them. This
school has been closed since that day. This
chain and the lock remind us of the British
cruelty. We are emigrants who came and settled
here afterwards."
The British did away with all the
Islamic scholars, Islamic books, and Islamic
schools, a practice which they applied to all
the Islamic countries. Thus they brought up
young generations totally unaware of the
religion.
The notorious British Lord
Macauley as soon as he arrived in Calcutta in
1834, prohibited all sorts of Arabic and Persian
publications and ordered that the ones that were
already in the process of printing should be
stopped, and this attitude of his earned him a
great deal of acclamation from his British
colleagues. This oppression was assiduously
carried on in places with a Muslim majority,
especially in Bengal.
While closing the Islamic
madrasas in India on the one hand, the British
opened one hundred and sixty-five colleges,
eight of which were for girls, on the other
hand. The students educated in these colleges
were brainwashed and were made hostile towards
their fathers' religion, towards their own
ancestors. Two-thirds of the British army that
perpetrated the aforesaid cruelties and
savageries in India was made up of the native
people who had been brainwashed, made hostile
against their own nation, Christianized, or
hired.
The laws that were enacted in
1249 [C.E. 1833] served the expansion of the
missionary activities and the consolidation of
the Protestant organization in India. Before
this spreading of missionary activities and
India's being fully under British domination,
the British were respectful of the Muslims'
religious belief; they would have cannons fired
to celebrate the Muslims' holy days, offer them
help for the restoration of their mosques and
other places of worship, and even join services
in the pious foundations pertaining to mosques,
convents, shrines and madrasas. The imperative
messages arriving from Britain in 1833 and 1838
prohibited the British from activities of this
sort. As these facts show clearly, the policy
employed by the British in their attacks on the
Islamic religion is based on deceiving the
world's Muslims by first pretending to be
friendly and helpful and by spreading the
impression far and wide that they love Muslims
and serve Islam, and then, after attaining this
subsidiary goal, annihilating gradually and
insidiously all the Islamic essentials, books,
schools, and scholars. This double-faced policy
of theirs has done the worst harm to Muslims and
all but exterminated Islam. Later on, they
increased their efforts to have English adopted
as the official language and bring up
Christianized new generations from the native
people. To this end they opened schools
thoroughly under the control of the
missionaries. In fact, the British Prime
Minister Lord Palmerston and many other British
Lords said that "God hath given India to the
British so that the Indian people might enjoy
the blessings of Christianity."
Lord Macauley spent his utmost
energy and support for constituting in India a
British nation who were Indian in blood and
color and British in inclinations, thoughts,
belief, moral values, and mental capacity.
Therefore, the schools opened by the
missionaries allotted very much importance and
time in their curricula to the teaching of the
English language and literature and
Christianity. Scientific knowledge, (such as
mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.), was
totally disignored. Thus a number of
Christianized people who knew nothing but the
English language and literature were educated
and produced. Then these people were employed in
the civil service.
It being an Islamic rule that a
Muslim who abandons his faith will become an
apostate, while Hindus considered those who turn
away from Hinduism irreligious, people who were
Christianized could not inherit property from
their parents. In order to eliminate this rule,
the missionaries passed a law, which was first
enacted in Bengal, in 1832, and then promulgated
all over India, in 1850, thus making it possible
for the Christianized native apostates and
renegades to have a share from their parents'
inheritance. For this reason, Indians called the
British schools in India Satanic Registers. [In
India and the Ottoman Empire official bureaus
and institutions were called Defter (Register)].
French writer Marcelle Permeau visited India in
1344 [A.D. 1925] and published a book when he
returned. He says in this book of his,
"Calcutta, India's primary city, was in such a
miserable state that the poverty- stricken
suburbs around Paris and London would fall far
short of exemplifying. People and animals living
together in cottages, children crying, ill
people moaning. Beside them you see people
utterly enervated from continuous use of alcohol
and drugs, sprawling on the ground in a manner
no different from dead people. Watching these
exceedingly hungry, miserable, weak and
exhausted people, one cannot help asking oneself
what on earth these people could do.
"Clouds of people are scudding
towards factories, and how much of their profits
are these factories paying these people? Needs,
difficulties, infectious diseases, alcohol and
drugs are destroying, annihilating the already
enervated, defenseless people. Nowhere else on
earth has human life been treated with such
shameless indifference as it is here. No work,
no toil is considered to be hard or unhealthy
here. It is not a problem if a worker dies.
Another one will take his place. The only
concern for the British here is how to increase
the production rates and how to earn more and
more money."
Williams Jennings Bryan, a former
U.S. Foreign Secretary, confirms with evidences
that the British government is more cruel and
baser than Russia; the statements he makes in
his book British Domination in India can be
paraphrased as follows: "The British, who claim
to have bestowed welfare and happiness on the
living of the Indian people, sent millions of
Indians to their graves. This nation (the
British), who boast everywhere that they
instituted law courts and disciplinary forces,
robbed India to the core through a political
embezzlement. 'Robbery' may sound somewhat too
tough a term, yet no other word could depict the
British atrocity more explicitly.
"The conscience of the British
people, who claim to be Christians, is not
willing to hear the Indian Muslims' call for
help."
Mister Hodbert Keombtun says in
his book Life of the Indian, "The Indian is
tormented by his master [the British], yet he
continues to work and serve till he loses
everything he has, till he dies."
The Indian Muslim workers being
employed in the other British colonies were even
under worse conditions. In 1834 the British
industrialists began to employ Indian workers
instead of African natives. Thousands of Muslims
were transported from India to South African
colonies. The position of these workers, who
were called Coolies, was worse than that of
slaves. They were bound by a contract called
Indentured Labor. According to this contract,
the coolie would be indentured for five years.
During this period he could not leave his work
or get married; he would have to work day and
night under continuous whipping. In addition, he
was liable to a taxation of three British
gold-coins yearly. "These facts were announced
all over the world through publications such as
Labor in India, Post-Lecturer in the University
of New York."
Ghandi, a widely known Indian
Ruler, received his education in Britain and
returned to India. He was the son of a
Christianized Indian. In fact, his father was
the Archbishop of Porbandar city. When in 1311
[A.D. 1893] he was sent by a British company in
India to South Africa and witnessed the heavy
conditions the Indians were being employed under
and the barbarous treatment they were being
subjected to, he put up a struggle against the
British. Although he was the son of a person
brought up and even Christianized by the
British, he could not bear the sight of this
British cruelty and savagery. This was his first
step towards the movement that would later earn
him his renown.
The basis of the policy which the
British have followed throughout the Muslim
world consists of this three-word slogan:
"Break, dominate, and destroy their faith."
They have not hesitated to
fulfill all the requirements of this policy,
whatsoever.
The first thing they did in India
was to find the people who would serve them.
Using these people, they slowly lit the fire of
mischief. The people most suitable for this
purpose were the Hindus living under Muslims'
domination; so they used these people. The
Hindus were leading a peaceful life under the
equitable ruling of the Muslims, when the
British approached them and gradually imbued
them with the thought that Hindus were the real
owners of India, that Muslims had been killing
the Hindu gods in the name of religious
sacrifice, and that this practice should soon be
put an end to. The Hindus were on the British
side now. They employed some of them as
mercenaries. Thus the Hindu nescience and the
British hostility against Islam and avarice for
money were brought together to carry out Queen
Elizabeth's advice for the formation of an army.
Discord was sown between the Muslim governors
and the Hindu maharajahs. In the meantime, from
amongst the Muslims, people slack in their faith
were hired.
The British Sir Lord Strachey,
who served as the regent on several occasions
and who was a member of the (Indian
Organization), states about the Muslim-Hindu
enmity, "Anything that will be done in order to
dominate or sow discord is compatible with our
government's policy. The greater support for our
policy in India is the co-existence of two
autonomous societies who are hostile to each
other." Aggravating this hostility, the British
supported the Hindus continuously from 1164
[A.D. 1750] until 1287 [A.D. 1870], and joined
them in all the massacres of Muslims they
perpetrated.
Commencing in 1858, the
Muslim-Hindu conflicts grew wider and wider. The
British would provoke the Hindus against the
Muslims and then sit and enjoy the fights as the
Hindus attacked. Not a single year passed
without bloody events and mischievous tumults
that broke out upon the killing of a cow as a
religious sacrifice and which resulted in the
massacre of hundreds, thousands of Muslims. In
order to kindle the mischief from both ends,
they, on the one hand, spread among the Muslims
the belief that killing one cow as a sacrifice
would be more pious than killing seven sheep,
and, on the other hand, they rumored among the
Hindus that rescuing their bovine gods from
death would earn them a lot of rewards in the
next world. This mischief of theirs continued
after their withdrawal from India. We would like
to exemplify this fact by relating an event
written in a magazine entitled Ittila'at, which
was published in Iran in the time of its Prime
Minister Musaddiq.
On a day of Qurban (78) two
bearded Muslims wearing turbans and long robes
bought a cow to kill as a sacrifice. As they
were passing a Hindu quarter on their way home,
a Hindu stopped them to ask them what they were
going to do with the cow. When they said they
were going to kill it as a sacrifice, the Hindu
began to shout, "Hey, people! Help! These men
are going to sacrifice our god." And the two
Muslims also shouted, "O Muslims! Help! These
men are going to seize our sacrifice." Hindus
and Muslims gathered around the place and began
to fight by using sticks and knives. Hundreds of
Muslims were killed. Later, however, the two
people who had been taking the cow through the
Hindu quarter were seen disappearing into the
British embassy. This comes to mean that this
event was provoked by the British. The
correspondent who relates this event adds, "We
know how you spoiled Muslims' day of Qurban."
With trick of this sort and innumerable other
types of cruelty they tried to destroy Muslims.
Later on, when they saw that the
Hindus were gradually rising against them, they
began, by 1287 [A..D. 1870], to support the
Muslims against the Hindus.
There appeared strange people who
bore Muslim names yet who were hostile against
the Ahl as-sunnat, said that it was not fard to
make Jihad with the sword, said 'halal' about
what Islam has prescribed to be haram, and
attempted to change Islam's principles of
belief. Sir Sayyid Ahmad, Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani,
Abdullah Ghaznawi, Ismail-i-Dahlawi, Nazir
Husain Dahlawi, Siddiq Hasan Khan Pehupali,
Rashid Ahmad Kenkuhi, Wahid uz-zaman Haydar
Abadi, Ashraf Ali Tahanawi, and Muhammad Ishaq,
who was Shah Abd-ul-aziz's grandson, were only a
few of these people. Supporting these people,
the British caused the appearance of more new
sects. They strove to make Muslims follow these
sects.
The most notorious of these sects
was the Qadiyani which was appeared in 1296
[A.D. 1879]. Its founder, Ghulam Ahmad, said it
was not fard (Islam's commandment) to make Jihad
(Holy War) by means of weaponry and that Jihad
which was fard was advice. So did the British
spy Hempher say to Muhammad of Najd.
Ghulam Ahmad was a heretic
belonging to the Ismaili group. He died in 1326
[C.E. 1908]. The British hired him for a
considerable sum of money. Formerly he claimed
to be a Mujaddid; then he promoted this claim of
being the promised Mahdi; his next step was to
assert that he was Jesus the Messiah. Finally,
he announced that he was a Prophet and had been
revealed a new religion. He called the people he
had managed to deceive his 'ummat', asserted
that many ayats had foretold of him and that he
displayed more miracles than had any other
Prophet. He alleged that those who would not
believe him were unbelievers. His sect spread
among the ignorant people in Punjab and Bombay.
The Qadiyani sect is still spreading under the
name Ahmadiyya movement in Europe and America.
The Sunni Muslims said that it is
fard to perform Jihad through arms and that it
is heresy to serve the British. Muslims who
preached or advised this were punished
vehemently and mostly killed. The Sunnite books
were gathered and destroyed.
Islamic scholars who could not be
hired or would not serve the British purposes
would be isolated from the Muslim community.
They would not be executed lest they should
become famous, but they would be given life
imprisonment in the notorious dungeons on the
Andaman Islands. All the Islamic scholars
arrested throughout India on the pretext that
they had been collaborating with the rebels
during the revolution were sent to the same
dungeons. [Likewise, when they invaded Istanbul
after World War I, they banished the Ottoman
Pashas and scholars to Malta Island].
In order that the Muslims should
not notice their grudge against Islam, they
received fatwas defining India as a Dar-ul-islam
and not a Dar-ul-harb, and spread these fatwas
everywhere.
The hypocrites whom they had
trained and named scholars propagated the
impression that the Ottoman Sultans were not
Khalifas, that caliphate belonged to the
Quraishis by right, that the Ottoman Sultans had
taken possession of caliphate by force and
therefore should not be obeyed.
[The hadith ash-Sharif, "The
Khalifa shall be from the Quraish tribe, (from
their descendants)," means, "If there are
Quraishis, [e.g. Sayyids], among the people who
deserve to be and fulfill the conditions for
being the Khalifa, you should prefer (one of)
these people." If there is not such a person,
someone else should be elected. If a person has
not been elected the Khalifa, or has refused to
obey the elected Khalifa and has seized power by
using force or violence, this person will have
to be obeyed. There can be only one Khalifa on
the earth. All Muslims have to obey him].
In order to extirpate religious
teachings and demolish Islam from within, they
opened a madrasa for the teaching of Islamic
knowledge and an Islamic university in Aligarh.
In these schools they educated religious men who
were unaware of religion and hostile to Islam.
These people caused great harms to Islam. A
group of these people were chosen, sent to
Britain, trained in such a way as to demolish
Islam from within, and brought to government
positions where they would preside over Muslims.
Ayyub Khan, who was made Pakistan's president in
place of M.Jinnah, was one of them.
Although the British seem to have
been one of the winners of the Second World War,
actually they lost the war. In fact, Britain, "a
country where the sun never sets," as the
British called their land, became "a country
where the sun never rises" after the war. Having
lost all its colonies, it was like a hen plucked
for her feathers.
Ali Jinnah, who was made
Pakistan's president, was a Shiite and a British
fan. When he died in 1367 [A.D. 1948] Ayyub
Khan, a freemason, seized power by staging a
coup d'etat. Also Yahya Khan, who took this
disbeliever's place, was a bigoted Shiite. When
he was defeated in the war between Pakistan and
India in early 1392 [C.E. 1972], he lost control
of Eastern Pakistan and was imprisoned. In 1971
Yahya Khan handed the government over to
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was another British
agent educated and trained in Britain. In 1974,
the order that he gave for the killing of his
adversaries cost him his own execution.
Ziya-ul-Haqq, who took power by
casting out Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was keen enough
to perceive the enemies' plans to destroy Islam
and annihilate Muslims; he would not carry out
their desires. He endeavored for his country's
improvement in science, technology and arts.
Knowing very well that Islam is the only source
of welfare and prosperity for individuals, for
families, for the society, and for the whole
nation, he was thinking of making laws
compatible with the Shariat. He decided to refer
this question to his people. A referendum was
held and the people voted for the proposal.
The British villains did their
masters another service by assassinating
Ziya-ul-Haqq and all his suite. Some time later
Ali Bhutto's daughter became prime minister and
set free all the villains who had been
imprisoned for various crimes against the State,
the people, and Islam. She appointed them to
high administrative levels. Tumults and
conflicts commenced in Pakistan. This state of
affairs was what the British desired.
After the First and Second World
Wars, in many countries people who would carry
out the British plans and protect the British
interests were brought to high positions by the
British. These countries have had their own
national anthems, national flags, and
presidents, yet they have never attained
religious freedom.
For the last three centuries, any
sort of treason committed against the Turkish
and Islamic worlds has had the British plotters
at its root.
They demolished the Ottoman
Empire and established twenty-three big and
small states on its lands. Their purpose in
doing this was to hinder Muslims from
establishing a powerful and great state.
They always instigated
hostilities and wars among countries said to be
Islamic countries. For instance, they made the
nine-percent Nusayris dominant in Syria, where
the Sunnis hold a majority. In 1982 the armed
forces attacked the cities Hama and Humus,
devastating the two cities and bombing the
unarmed, defenseless Sunni Muslims.
They killed true Sunni scholars,
destroyed Islamic books, including copies of
Qur'an al-karim. Instead of these Islamic
scholars, they brought religiously ignorant,
heretical people they had schooled. Of these
people:
Jamaladdin Afghani was born in
Afghanistan in 1254 [A.D. 1838]. He read
philosophy books. He spied on Afghanistan for
the Russians. He went to Egypt, where he became
a freemason and was appointed the chief of the
masonic lodge. Adip Ishaq of Egypt states in his
book Ed-Durar that he was the chief of Cairo
masonic lodge. It is stated as follows in the
hundred and twenty-seventh page of the book Les
Franìo-Maìons, which was printed in France in
1960: "Jamaladdin Afghani was appointed chief of
the masonic lodges founded in Egypt, and he was
succeeded by Muhammad Abdoh. They provided a
great deal of help in the spreading of
freemasonry among Muslims."
Ali Pasha, a five-time Grand
Vizier during the reigns of Sultan Abd-ul-Majid
and Sultan Abd-ul-'Aziz, was a freemason
affiliated with the British lodge. He invited
Afghani to Istanbul. He gave him some duties.
The time's Istanbul University Rector, Hasan
Tahsin, who had been declared a heretic through
a fatwa, had Afghani deliver speeches. Hasan
Tahsin had, in his turn, been trained by the
Grand Vizier Mustafa Rashid Pasha, an affiliated
member of the British masonic lodge. Afghani
strove to spread his heretical ideas far and
wide. Hasan Fehmi Effendi, the time's
Shaikh-ul-islam, confuted Afghani and proved
that he was a heretical ignoramus; hence, Ali
Pasha had to expel him from Istanbul. This time
he tried to promulgate his ideas of revolution
and religious reformation in Egypt. He pretended
to support the plotters of A'Rabi Pasha against
the British. He made friends with Muhammad
Abdoh, who was the Mufti of Egypt in those days.
He corrupted him with his ideas of making
reforms in Islam. Supported by masonic lodges,
he began to issue a periodical in Paris and
London. Then he went to Iran. He would not
behave properly there, either. Consequently, he
was fastened with chains and left somewhere on
the Ottoman border. Freed somehow, he went to
Baghdad, and thence to London, where he wrote
articles castigating Iran. Then he went back to
Istanbul and used religion as a means for
political ends by cooperating with the Bahais in
Iran.
The most notorious of the victims
who fell for Jamaladdin Afghani's propagations
intended to demolish Islam from within under the
cloak of a religious man, was Muhammad Abdoh,
born in Egypt in 1265 [A.D. 1849], and died
there in 1323 [C.E. 1905]. Spending a part of
his life in Beirut, he left for Paris, where he
joined Jamaladdin Afghani's activities
prescribed by masonic lodges. They began to
issue a periodical named Al-urwat- ul-Wuthqa.
Then he came back to Beirut and Egypt,
endeavoring to carry out in these places the
decisions made by the Paris masonic lodge.
Backed by the British, he became the Mufti of
Cairo and assumed an offensive attitude towards
the Ahl as-sunnat. The first step he took in
this way was to defile and spoil the curricula
in the Jami'ul azhar madrasa, thus hindering the
teaching of valuable religious lore to the
younger generation. He had the lessons being
taught at the university level abrogated and put
into their curricula the teaching of books that
were currently being taught in the secondary
level. Stripping the schools of their capacity
as places of knowledge on the one hand, he, on
the other hand, vituperated the Islamic
scholars, pledged that these scholars hindered
the teaching of scientific knowledge, and
claimed that he would enrich Islam by adding
this knowledge to it. He wrote a book entitled
Islam and Christianity, in which he says, "All
religions are the same. They are different only
in their outward appearance. Jews, Christians
and Muslims should support one another." In a
letter he wrote to a priest in London, he says,
"I hope to see the two great religions, Islam
and Christianity, hand-in-hand, embracing each
other. Then the Torah and the Bible and the
Koran will become books supporting one another,
being read everywhere, and respected by every
nation." He adds that he is looking forward to
seeing Muslims read the Torah and the Bible.
In his interpretation of Qur'an
al-karim, which he wrote in cooperation with
Shaltut, the director of Jami'ul azhar, he gives
the fatwa stating that bank interest is
permissible. Later on, fearing that this might
incur the wrath of Muslims, he pretended to have
withdrawn from this opinion.
Hanna Abu Rashid, president of
the masonic lodges in Beirut, makes the
following acknowledgement in the hundred and
ninety-seventh page of his book
Daira-tul-ma'arif- ul-masoniyya which he
published in 1381 [A.D. 1961]: "Jamaladdin
Afghani was the chief of the masonic lodge in
Egypt. The lodge had nearly three hundred
members, most of them were scholars and
statesmen. After him Muhammad Abdoh, the imam,
the master, became the chief. Abdoh was a great
freemason. No one could deny the fact that he
promoted the masonic spirit all over the Arabic
countries."
Another most notorious
disbeliever whom the British propagate as an
Islamic scholar all over India is Sir Sayyid
Ahmad Khan. He was born in Delhi in 1234 [A.D.
1818]. His father had migrated to India during
the reign of Akbar Shah. In 1837 he began to
work as a secretary for his paternal uncle, a
judge at a British law court in Delhi. He was
made a judge in 1841 and was promoted to a
higher judgeship in 1855.
Another so-called religious man
educated by the British in India is Hamidullah.
He was born in 1326 [A.D. 1908] in Haydarabad,
where the Ismaili group were the majority. He
was brought up in the Ismaili group and,
therefore, as a fanatical adversary of the Ahl
as-sunnat. He is a member of the research
institution called CNRS in Paris. He strives to
introduce Muhammad 'alaihis-salam' as the
Prophet for Muslims only.
In their war to annihilate Islam,
the most effective weapon the British used for
deceiving Muslims zealous for serving their
country and nation was the method of propagating
that Islam should be adapted to time, modernized
and restored to its original purity, which again
was intended to establish an irreligious
society. The Shaikh-ul-islam Mustafa Sabri
Effendi, a great Islamic savant, was one of the
people who perceived this very well. By stating,
"To abrogate the Madhhabs means to build a
bridge leading to irreligiousness," he
elucidated what their real purposes were.
The British and the other enemies
of Islam endeavored assiduously to corrupt the
Darwish convents and paths of Tasawwuf. They
strove hard to annihilate Ikhlas,which is the
third component of the Shariat. The superior
leaders of Tasawwuf never busied themselves with
politics, nor would they expect any worldly
advantages from anybody. Most of those great
people were profoundly learned mujtahids. For
'tasawwuf' means to follow the way guided by
Muhammad 'alaihis-salam'. In other words, it
means to strictly observe the Shariat in
whatever one says or does, in everything.
However, for a long time, ignorant, sinful
people, and even foreign agents, in order to
attain their vile goals, have instituted divers
guilds by using the names of great men of
Tasawwuf, and thus caused the Islamic religion
and its Shariat to collapse, to deteriorate.
Dhikr, (for instance), means to remember Allahu
ta'ala. This is essentially the heart's
business. Dhikr purifies the heart of any sort
of love except that of Allahu ta'ala, such as
love of the world or of other creatures, and
thus love of Allah settles firmly in the heart.
It is not dhikr for a number of people, men and
women, to come together and articulate some
strange sounds in the name of dhikr. The way
followed by those superior men of religion, by
the Ashab-i- kiram, has already been forgotten.
Sins have been committed in the name of
worshipping. So much so that, especially
recently, there is next to no Darwish convent
left where wrongdoing and sins have not entered,
where heretical practices such as Shi'a have not
penetrated. These practices carried on in the
name of Tasawwuf have become the most effective
weapons in demolishing the Shariat. Music has
been inserted into Darwish convents. Playing
musical instruments, singing, men and women
dancing together hand-in-hand and without even
women covering themselves, and all other
eccentricities of this sort have been called
worships. Concepts such as 'Turkish Religious
Music' and 'Music of Tasawwuf' have been
fabricated.
Today there is virtually no
scholar of Tasawwuf in Istanbul, in Asia Minor,
in Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria or Hedjaz, or in any
other Islamic country. There are, however, quite
a number of sham murshids and men of tasawwuf
exploiting credulous Muslims. The closing of the
Darwish convents in Turkey meant closing of the
sinning dens where people of doubtful origins
had been meeting and slandering the real great
men of Tasawwuf. An example of these things is
still being seen today on some occasions, such
as on the Mawlana Jalaladdin-i Rumi 'quddisa
sirruh' memorial day, when some people who are
no more than ordinary sinners who drink alcohol
and committing atrocities in the open cry
religious chants and whirl in a so-called
religious ecstacy. Upon watching these things,
people who are unlearned in religious matters
think that Islam means doing these things.
As it is seen, British agents and
missionaries first corrupted these homes of
knowledge, sagacity and beautiful morality, and
then, on the pretext that they were places of
depravity, they abrogated not only the corrupt
ones but also the ones that had not been
adulterated. All the sects founded by the
British, such as Wahhabism, religious
eclecticism and reformism, and the Salafiyya
sect, embody a systematic hostility against
Tasawwuf.
Enemies of Islam, particularly
the British, employed all sorts of methods to
retard Muslims in science and technology.
Muslims were hampered from trade and arts.
Atrocities such as alcoholic spirits,
indecencies, revels and gambling were encouraged
and popularized in order to spoil the beautiful
moral qualities existent in Islamic countries
and to annihilate Islamic civilizations.
Byzantine, Armenian and other non-Muslim women
were employed as agents for depraving people.
Young girls were lured into losing their
chastity by means of resplendent decoys, such as
fashion houses, dance courses, and schools for
training mannequins and actresses. Muslim
parents still do have very much to do in this
respect. They have to be wide awake so as not to
let their children fall into the traps set by
these impious people.
Towards its declining years, the
Ottoman Empire sent students and statesmen out
to Europe. Some of these students and statesmen
were persuaded into joining masonic lodges.
Those who were to learn science and technology
were taught techniques for demolishing Islam and
the Ottoman Empire. Of these people who did the
greatest harm to the Empire and to Muslims was
Mustafa Rashid Pasha. His stay in London was
entirely appropriated to disciplining him as an
avowed and insidious enemy of Islam. He
cooperated with the Scottish masonic lodges. It
was too late when the Sultan, Mahmud Khan, took
heed of Mustafa Rashid Pasha treacherous acts
and ordered that he be executed; for the
remainder of his lifetime was not long enough
for him to have his order carried out. After the
Sultan's passing away, Mustafa Rashid Pasha and
his colleagues returned to Istanbul and did
Islam and Muslims the severest harm they had
ever suffered.
Abd-ul-majid Han, who became the
Padishah in 1255 [A.D. 1839], was in his
eighteenth year yet. He was too young and quite
inexperienced. Nor did any of the scholars
around him warn him. It was this state that
caused the deplorable turning point in the
Ottoman history and brought the whole Empire to
a declining rhythm from which it could never
recover. The gullible, pure-hearted young
Emperor fell for the cajolery of the British,
the formidable and insidious enemies of Islam,
and appointed the ignoramuses trained by the
Scottish masons to administrative positions. He
was too immature to sense their policy of
demolishing the State from within. And there was
no one to caution him. Lord Rading, a cunning
member of the Scottish Masonic Organization,
which had been established in Britain with a
view to demolishing Islam, was sent to Istanbul
as the British ambassador. With blandishing
statements such as, "If you would appoint this
cultured and successful vizier as Grand Vizier,
all the disagreements between the British Empire
and your great Empire would be solved, and the
great Ottoman Empire would make progress in
economic, social and military areas," he managed
to persuade the Khalifa.
As soon as Rashid Pasha took
possession of the position of Grand Vizier in
1262 [A.D. 1846], he began to open masonic
lodges in large cities, using as a basis for his
move the so-called law of Tanzimat
[Reorganization], which he had prepared in
coordination with Lord Rading as he was Foreign
Minister in 1253 and officially promulgated in
1255. Homes of espionage and treason began to
function. Young people were educated without any
religious knowledge. Following the plans
dictated from London, they, on the one hand,
executed administrative, agricultural, military
reorganizations, thus using these activities as
show business to distract public attention, and,
on the other hand began to devastate Islamic
morality, love of ancestors, and national unity.
Training agents suitable for their purposes,
they located these people in important
administrative positions. In those years Europe
was taking gigantic strides in physics and
chemistry. New discoveries and improvements were
being made, and tremendous factories and
technical schools were being constructed. All
these renovations were being neglected by the
Ottomans. On the contrary, subjects such as
science, arithmetic, geometry and astronomy,
which had been in the curricula of the madrasa
system since the reign of Fatih (Muhammad the
Conqueror of Istanbul), were abrogated once and
for all. Thus the education of scientifically
learned scholars was hampered under the
sophistry that "men of religion would not need
scientific knowledge." Then, enemies of Islam
who came afterwards tried to estrange Muslim
children from Islam by saying that "men of
religion do not know science. Therefore they are
ignorant, backward people." Whatever was harmful
to Islam and Muslims would be called 'modern'
and 'progressive'. Each law passed would be
against the State. Turks, the true owners of the
country, would be treated as second class
citizens.
Whereas Muslims who would not do
their military service were fined very high
amounts of money which were beyond their ability
to pay, the non-Muslims would have to pay very
insignificant fines for the same offense. While
the real children of this country were being
martyred in the wars contrived by the British,
the country's industries and trades were
gradually being transferred into the hands of
non-Muslims and freemasons as a result of the
intrigues carried on by Rashid Pasha and his
masonic henchmen.
Alleging that the Russian Czar
Nicholas I was provoking the Orthodox community
in Jerusalem against the Catholics, the British
urged the Emperor of France Bonaparte III, who
was already nervous about any probable Russian
power in the Mediterranean, into joining the
Crimean War between the Turks and the Russians.
This cooperation, which was actually intended
for the British interests, was presented to the
Turkish people as a result of Rashid Pasha
diplomatic accomplishments. It was the Sultan
himself, again, who was the first to take notice
of these destructive strategies which the
enemies were striving to conceal under
falsely-adorned advertisements and the
ostentation of a counterfeit friendship. He felt
such bitter remorse that from time to time he
would shut himself up in his private section in
the palace and sob bitterly. He would
desperately search for ways of fighting against
these enemies gnawing at the country and the
people, and deploringly beseech Allahu ta'ala
for help. Therefore, he dismissed Rashid Pasha
from the office of Grand Vizier several times,
yet each time this foxy man, who had
appropriated for himself such nicknames as
'grand' and 'great', somehow managed to
overthrow his rivals and resume his position.
Unfortunately, the deep feeling of distress and
remorse the Sultan had been suffering developed
into tuberculosis, which in turn put an early
end to the young Emperor's life. What remained
for Mustafa Rashid Pasha to do in the years to
come was to make sure that all sorts of
administrative positions, university fellowships
and law court presidencies be shared among his
disciples only; and he did so, too. Thus he
paved the way for a period called the
Qaht-i-rijal (scarcity of competent men) in
Ottoman history and caused the Ottoman Empire to
be called the Sick Man.
Omer Aksu, a professor of
economics, says in his article published on the
January 22, 1989 issue of the daily Turkiye
newspaper, "The 1839 Tanzimat Firman has been
shown as the starting point of our movement of
Westernization. So far we do not appear to have
understood the fact that what we should borrow
from the West is technology; culture, on the
other hand, should remain national. We have
looked on Westernization as adoption of
Christianity. The trade agreement that Mustafa
Rashid Pasha made with the British was the
severest blow on our efforts of
industrialization."
Scotch masonic lodges carried
over their domination in the Ottoman Empire.
Padishahs were martyred. Whatever would have
been useful for the country and the nation was
objected to. Rebellions and revolutions broke
out one after another. Who waged the most
die-hard struggle against these traitors was
Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid Khan II (may his abode be
Paradise). They therefore announced him to be
the "Red Sultan". Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid improved
the Empire economically, opened very many
schools and universities, and developed the
country. He had a medical faculty built; this
school did not have an equal in Europe with the
exception of the one in Vienna. A faculty of
political sciences was constructed in 1293 [A.D.
1876]. He founded a faculty of law and the Audit
Department in 1297. He instituted an engineering
department and a boarding high school for girls
in 1301. He had water from the Terkos lake
conveyed to Istanbul. He had a school for
silkworm breeding opened in Bursa, and a school
for agriculture and veterinary medicine
established at Halkali. He had a paper factory
built at Hamidiyye, a coal-gas factory
established at Kadikoy, and a wharf for the
Beirut harbor constructed. He had the Ottoman
Insurance Company instituted. He had coal mines
opened up in Eregli and Zonguldak. He had an
insane asylum established, a hospital called
Hamidiyye Etfal built at Sisli, and the
Dar-ul-ajeza instituted. He formed the most
powerful army of the world in his time. He had
the old and obsolete ships towed into the Golden
Horn and reinforced the fleet with high-quality
cruisers and battleships newly made in Europe.
He had Istanbul- Eskisehir-Ankara,
Eskisehir-Adana-Baghdad, and
Adana-Damascus-Medina railways built. Thus the
world's longest railway network was in the
Ottoman country in those days. These works of
Abd-ul-Hamid Khan (may his abode be Paradise)
have survived to our time. People who travel by
train today will see with pride that all the
train stations throughout this country are the
same ones built during the reign of Abd-ul-Hamid
Khan.
Jews, supported and encouraged by
the British, were planning to establish a Jewish
State in Palestinian territory. Abd-ul-Hamid
Khan, who was wise to their Zionistic activities
and aspirations and therefore was quite aware of
the Jewish threat in the region, advised the
Palestinians not to sell the land of Palestine
to Jews. Theodor Hertzel, leader of the
Universal Zionist Organization, taking Rabbi
Moshe Levi with him, visited Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid
and requested that Jews be sold land. The
Sultan's answer was this: "I would not give you
a tiniest piece of land even if all the world's
states came to me and poured in front of me all
worldly treasures. This land, which cost our
ancestors their lives and which has been
preserved until today, is not saleable."
Upon this, the Jews cooperated
with the party called Union and Progress. All
the evil forces on the earth united against the
Sultan, eventually dethroning him and orphaning
all Muslims, in 1327 [C.E. 1909]. The leaders of
the Union and Progress Party filled the highest
positions of the State with enemies of the
religion and freemasons. In fact, Hayrullah and
Musa Kazim, whom they appointed as
Shaikh-ul-islam respectively, were freemasons.
They made the country bloody all over. In the
Balkan, Chanakkale (Dardanelles), Russian and
Palestinian wars, which were actually caused by
British henchmen, the world's biggest armed
force founded by Abd-ul-Hamid Khan was
annihilated through treacherous and base plans.
They martyred hundreds of thousands of innocent
youngsters and proved their own perfidious
characters by fleeing the country at a time when
the country needed unity and protection more
than any other time.
Our non-Muslim compatriots who
had been seduced in the missionary schools
opened in the Ottoman Empire and in churches
were provoked to rise against the Ottoman
administration. The black-coped spies, who were
sent forth under such names as 'teachers for
schools' and 'priests for churches', and the
so-called newspaper correspondents took money,
weapons, and instigation wherever they went.
Great rebellions broke out. The massacres
perpetrated by Armenians, Bulgarians and Greeks
still occupy the pages of history as stains
representing human cruelty. It was the British,
again, who brought the Greeks to Izmir. Allahu
ta'ala showed mercy to the Turkish nation, so
that they were able to defend this beautiful
country of ours at the end of a great struggle
for independence.
When the Ottoman Empire
collapsed, the whole world was suffused with a
state of utter chaos. The Ottoman Empire had
been serving as a buffer between states. It was
a protector for Muslims and a deterrent to war
between disbelievers. After Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid
Khan, there was no more comfort or peace left in
any country. Nor did blood-baths and massacres
ever come to an end in Europe, whose states
first entered the First World War, then
underwent the Second World War, and then were
crushed under a Communist invasion and cruelty.
Those nations who had
collaborated with the British and attacked the
Ottomans from the back were now in such a
miserable state that it appeared as if they were
never going to enjoy peace again. They were so
penitent for their wrongdoing that they began to
have the Khutba performed in the name of the
Ottoman Khalifa again. When finally an Israel
State was established in Palestine by the
British, it became obvious how valuable the
Ottoman existence had been. The savageries the
Palestinians have been suffering under the
Israelite cruelty are being reported in
newspapers and shown on television programs
world over. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad
Abd-ul-Majid made the following statement in
1990: "Egypt lived its most comfortable and
peaceful days in the time of the Ottomans."
Christian missionaries appear to
have been indispensable in places where Europe's
Christian countries and America have had
interests. These missionaries are hunters of
advantages and spoilers of peace hidden behind
the simulation of offering service, peace and
love to Isa (Jesus) 'alaihis-salam', whom they
divinize, (may Allahu ta'ala protect us against
such heresy). Their more important task is to
make the countries they have been assigned
dependent on Christian countries. Missionaries
learn perfectly the languages, customs and
traditions of the countries they are going to go
to. As soon as they begin their mission in a
country, they study its political status,
military power, geographical position, economic
level, and religious structure to the tiniest
details, and report their findings to the
Christian government they are working for.
Wherever they go they find people to collaborate
with and hire these people. While still bearing
names identical with those of the native people,
these people are now either Christianized
ignoramuses or hired traitors.
A candidate missionary is trained
either in the country where he is to carry on
his mission or by another missionary trained in
that country.
Missionary activities increased
in the aftermath of the Gulhane Firman prepared
and proclaimed by Rashid Pasha, the freemason.
Colleges were opened in the most beautiful
places of Anatolia. Firat (Euprates) College was
opened in Harput in 1276 [A.D. 1859]. No degree
of expense was deemed too much in building this
school. In the meantime missionaries established
sixty-two centers on the plain of Harput, and
twenty-one churches were built. Missionary
organizations were instituted in sixty-two of
the sixty-six Armenian villages and one church
was constructed for every three villages. All
the Armenians, regardless of what age, were
antagonized against the Ottomans, and female
missionaries spared no effort to train Armenian
women and girls for this purpose. The notorious
woman missionary Maria A. West wrote the
following explanation in her book 'Romance of
Mission', which she published afterwards: "We
penetrated the souls of the Armenians. We
carried out a revolution in their lives." This
activity was conducted in any place with an
Armenian population. Antep College in Gaziantep,
Anadolu College in Merzifon, and Robert College
in Istanbul are only a few examples. The
Merzifon College, for instance, did not have any
Turkish students. Of its one hundred and
thirty-five students, one hundred and eight were
Armenians and twenty-seven were Byzantines.
These students were boarders collected from all
parts of Anatolia. The director was a priest,
like in the others. In the meantime a kind of
boiling motion began in Anatolia. Militants from
the clandestine Armenian Society ruthlessly
killed Muslims and burned Muslim villages,
recognizing no right to live for the Ottomans,
who were the guards, the owners of the country.
The Armenians were pursued and an operation of
retaliation and repression was executed in 1311
[C.E. 1893], whereupon it was found out that the
militants were camouflaged in that college and
planned all their activities there, and that
their chieftains were two college teachers named
Kayayan and Tumayan. Upon this the missionaries
raised a universal clamor. In order to save the
two villainous Armenians, great public
demonstrations were arranged in America and
England. Strange to say, this event was a cause
of discord between Britain and the Ottoman
Empire. And what is even more strange is that
when the demonstrations arranged by the British
missionaries were held in 1893, the Director of
the Merzifon Anadolu College was in London, and
among the demonstrators, too. The massacre of
Muslims in Anatolia which were done by
Christians later reflected in the books of
Christian writers in totally the opposite way.
One of these lies is written in Mer'as chapter
of Arabic dictionary Al-Munjid, a book prepared
in Beirut.
In 1893, three million copies of
the Bible and four million other Christian books
were distributed by missionaries to the
Armenians in Turkey. Accordingly, every one of
the Armenians, including the newly born babies,
was given seven books. The amount of money spent
yearly by the American missionaries alone was
285,000 dollars. To elucidate how great an
amount this money was, we would like to state
that seventeen hundred and twenty-eight gigantic
schools like the Merzifon Anadolu College could
have been constructed by an equal expenditure.
It would be sheer credulity to
think that it was religious zeal that motivated
the missionaries to dispense with this
stupendous sum of money. For religion is a trade
in the eyes of missionaries. This amount of
money, which the missionaries spent in Anatolia
for the purpose of demolishing Islam and
extirpating the Ottoman nation, was a tiny
fraction of the money they had collected through
propagations that "Turks are massacring
Armenians. Let us help them."
It was around the same years when
our Greek compatriots in Athens and Yenisehir,
incited by the missionaries in colleges and
churches and supported by tremendous armed
forces from Britain, revolted and wildly
massacred hundreds of thousands of Muslims,
children and women alike. This rebellion was
quelled by forces under Edhem Pasha command in
1313 [A.D. 1895]. This was a victory which was
achieved not only against the Greek forces, but
also against the British, the real inciters.
Britain is governed by three
authorities: The King, Parliment, and the Church
(i.e. Westminister). Up until the year 918 [A.D.
1512], the parliment and the king's palace was
within Westminister. After the conflagration in
1512, the king moved to Buckingham Palace, and
parliment and the church remained under the same
roof. In Britain the church and the state are
interlaced. Kings and Queens are crowned by the
archbishop in church.
According to a report entitled
"Social Inclinations" and published by the
British Central Bureau of Statistics, out of
every hundred babies born in Britain,
twenty-three are born as a result of
illegitimate relations.
According to a statistical report
announced by the British metropolitan police
Scotland Yard and published in an Istanbul daily
newspaper dated May 7, 1990, there is no more
security of life in London, which has become a
very dangerous city, particularly for women.
According to the British police reports, in the
last twelve years there has been an increase in
all sorts of offenses, mainly rapes and
robberies.
Family, in all countries and
religions, is an institution formed by a man and
a woman who have come together in a legitimate
way. On the other hand, British laws have
legitimized and protected two men's practicing
homosexual acts.
It is stated in a report headed
'Scandal in the British army' that appeared in a
daily Istanbul newspaper dated November 12,
1987, that the newly enlisted lance corporals in
the Guards regiment belonging to Queen Elizabeth
II were sexually harassed and were subjected to
sadistic torture.
In a research article published
in the December 28, 1990, issue of the daily
Turkiye, it is reported that the rate of
homosexuals in British churches has reached 15
per cent and their number in the Houses of Lords
and Commons is even higher. Indecencies have
spread out to the Parliment and scandals like
Profumo have erupted. Britain is the first
European country where homosexuals formed an
organization. Even in places where such
indecencies are practiced, British hostility
against Islam is quite conspicuous. The back
streets of London, where adultery, pederasty and
all the other sorts of indecencies are
committed, are painted green, a color Islam
holds sacred, and tablets depicting Mecca hang
on the doors of these dens of abhorrence.
According to a report published
in the British daily newspaper Guardian, two
hundred thousand girls resorted to law courts
and asked for protection against their fathers
who had been harassing them sexually since they
had reached the age of puberty. According to the
BBC, on the other hand, the number of those who
did not resort to law courts (though having been
subjected to the same abominable treatment) is
estimated to be around five million.
With respect to land shares,
Britain has the most inequitable system world
over. The ceaseless struggles waged by British
peasants against lords are recorded in history.
It is a fact that even today eighty per cent of
British land is possessed by a privileged
minority.
It is written in the May 31, 1992
Sunday edition of Turkiye, "Unemployment and
poverty which was caused by economic destruction
increases the suicides in England. It was
reported in the British Medical periodical that
a study which was carried out by two doctors
from Oxford Hospital showed that every year a
hundred thousand people commit suicide and 4500
of them died. Of them, 62 percent were young
girls." No other State as treacherous,
aggressive and wild as British who martyred
hundreds of thousands Muslims every year and who
led hundred thousand of their own people to
commit suicide has been witnessed.
Ireland, on the other hand, has
become a nuisance to Britain. We hope that we
shall all live up to see those happy days when
they will fall into the traps they have set for
us.
In order to bless ourselves with
the blessed name of Sayyid Abd-ul-hakim Arwasi
'rahmatullahi alaih', we would like to end the
second section of our book with his following
statements, which define the British in a way
covering all the main points while leaving out
any points that are not relevant:
"The British are the greatest
enemies of Islam. Let us compare Islam to a
tree; other disbelievers will fell this tree by
cutting it by the lowest point of its trunk
whenever they have the opportunity.
Consequently, Muslims will begin feeling
hostility towards them. Yet this tree may send
forth roots some day. British policy, on the
other hand, is quite different. He will serve
this tree; he will feed it. So Muslims will
develop a liking for him. However, one night,
when all the people are sound asleep, he will
administer poison to its root without anyone
noticing it. The tree will dry up for good and
will never sprout again. He will go on duping
Muslims by expressing his solidarity with them.
This exemplification of poisoning represents the
British stratagem of extirpating Islamic
scholars, Islamic literature and Islamic
learning through the hypocritical and ignoble
natives he has hired in return for the
appeasement of sensuous desires, such as money,
rank, positions and women."
May Allahu ta'ala protect all
Muslims against all sorts of evil. May He
protect statesmen, Islamic scholars and all
Muslims from falling for the deceit and tricks
of missionaries and the British and from serving
them! |
