In July 2011 one of the Republicans from Reagan Era – (1979-1988) wrote an article titled: “Revival of the Idea-Islam”.

Thanks for this article coming from a Republican from Reagan times. That was the time (1979 to 1988) when the US Administration and the UK made the final assault on the Revival of the Idea – Islam.

The attack on the Muslim Power had been going on ever since the fall of Spain in 15^th century and the Industrial Revolution followed by colonization and the overthrow of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1917.

That period can be termed as the “Second Coming of Jesus Christ”. The belief in all such prophecies – that Jesus will come back – is shared by both the Christian World and the Muslim Worlds. As for the Christian World that gave an upper hand when it comes to Christianity vs Islam (as an ideology), but the Christian Mind did not grasp the meaning of the “Second Coming of Jesus Christ”. Instead, they waited for the “Physical Appearance” of a person. As for the Muslim Mindset, that too missed this interpretation of the prophecies, though this is mentioned in the Quran again and again.

The Muslim Mindset is also stuck up with another prophecy regarding Islam – that in the Latter Days Islam will dominate the world; and that revival of Islam will begin when “Imam Mehdi” will “appear” and then “Jesus will say his prayers behind Imam Mehdi”. 

The Reagan Era marks the “zenith” of the Western Christiandom (as a religious belief system). It was during that period (November 1988) when Western Christiandom finally defeated an “atheist power” – the USSR. 

It is similar to when Romans defeated the Persians and which is mentioned in Sura Rum in the Quran. There the words are “Believers will rejoice on that day”. Incidently, the small party of Muslims gave a crushing defeat to the Quraish of Makkah at the Battle of Badr and they too were rejoicing. It should knock the Muslim Mind that USA, who can be taken as modern day Romans, formed the party of “believers” mentioned in Sura Rum. USSR, the atheist power would be the “non-believer” Persians. Then the logical question is who are “the small party of believers” who are fighting the modern day “Battle of Badr” and who “rejoiced on that day” in 1989? Obviously that event should have come to pass around that same time in the Muslim World.  

The surfacing of the revival of “Islam” in the “apparent”  (Zahir) world  began with the Revolution in Iran in 1979, when the subject  of Khoumeni’s Islamic Revolution in Iran, dominated the western media channels. “Islam” was being introduced through the electronic waves to one and all in the western world. Even those who had not heard about this “religion” were introduced to Islam. It was not that the TV Channels were only after increasing their ratings but all that coverage to “Islam” was according to the Grand Strategy of the US and her western allies. That would become known only after the turn of the century in 2001.  

If anyone would say that it was “God’s Plan” foretold in the Quran, that would not make sense, unless one has a “firm belief” in the “Word of God” irrespective if the believer is a Muslim or not.

God’s Plan foretold in the Quran is that the religion “Islam” will become dominant in the latter days. That would not mean that the entire mankind will have a brand name of “Muslim” but it only means that the Morality and Values which have been given in the Quran will be accepted by one and all, not necessarily out of fear of a “super power” but because Human Nature will be attracted by those morals and values.

Thus the view in the west that the Muslims countries must not be permitted to acquire latest technologies lest they dominate the world (according to their prophecies) is quite misplaced.

Nowhere it is mentioned in the Quran that Muslims will dominate the world in Latter Days. It is only mentioned that Islam will dominate the world. That means the value system. Now since all religions in various parts of the world – Hinduism, Budhism, Abrahamic Judaism, Christianity and Islam – have a claim of coming from a divine source, and also have much resemblance, the Latter Day scenario will be more of a “merger” of all religious morals and values to a standard form, a meeting point. That meeting point would mark the beginning of another journey towards perfection of the same morals and values.

When one translates the Arabic word “Islam” it means “peace”. That means an over all peace – social, political, economical and also peace with the “self”. Such a “peace” is achieved by Human Nature only after it has learnt the art of existing in “Balanced environment”.

For all this to happen, it would follow the usual modus operendi which has been followed in all religious history. A human being will claim that he is a prophet of God, and he has been told that in this age there are “Ayes” and “Nays” which need to be followed by human beings. Those who will listen to the message will be saved, those who will not listen, will be destroyed.

That announcement was done in 1889 by one human being in a remote village, Qadian, in India. Beyond that point in time, his followers have kept reminding mankind of the message – using the latest technology – a satellite channel MTA to convey that message.

As far as the Muslim Calender is concerned, the year 1979 was the closing year of the 14th century Hijra. The prophecies had foretold about the times which will unfold at the close of 14^th century and the beginning of the 15^th century Hijra.

It can be said that events similar to 600s AD (beginning years of the Hijra calendar) were unfolding in the 20^th century AD (the beginning years of the 15^th century hijra).

The two dominant world powers were about to face one another in Afghanistan. USA had lost its foothold in Iran consequent to the Iranian Revolution in 1979.

Logically, USA should have concentrated on regaining its hold on Iran and safe guard the sea lanes passing through the straits of Hormoz. But it appears that the Grand Strategy of the USA at that stage was to push back the Soviets from Afghanistan first, and contain Iran later on, which is happening now in 2014.

However, that strategy of containing and pushing back the Soviets from Afghanistan and the methodology adopted – by terming the Afghan national struggle as “Islamic Jihad” was to involve the whole Mulsim World into the inferno. And, to contain or weaken the Iranian Revolution, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, was encouraged to attack Iran resulting in an 8 year war between two Muslim nations.

Thus during the period 1979-1989 (the first decade of 15^th century Hijra) the entire Muslim World was on fire, especially in this region – Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Millions of Muslim youth died during this period, and those who lived through that decade had been totally brain washed by the Jihadi wave of Islam which had spread across the Muslim Mind.

The damage to the Muslim Mindset was no less than the damage which Europe suffered in the aftermath of World War II in the shape of “Hippy Movement” – a reaction. In the Muslim World, the way out of the hopeless conditions was to resort to Islam in its extreme form – Jihad, Shariah law, hijab, longer beards, bigger turbans, and louder prayers.

Western Media was ready to project the typical Muslim man – a black turban and a rough beard with a gun on his shoulder, and a Muslim woman all wrapped up in a tent type of a cloth, only eyes visible. To the western mind, those creatures did not belong to the human species. It was the same impression when “Hippies” travelled to Muslim countries in the 1960s and were thought of some strange creatures from some other world.

The end result of that propaganda which was bombarded upon the European and the American public was that an Image was created in the western mind about Islam and the Muslim. And that was “The Ugly Muslim”.

The whole of the Muslim World was up on the defensive. The greatest of the Muslim Scholars developed an apologetic stance, when logic failed to prove the many discripencies in their interpretations of Shariah Law, especially about “women rights” and the “harsh punishments”. The Muslim Scholars lost their cool.

In 1977, the elected government of PPP was toppled to bring in a military dictatorship in the name of Islamisation of Pakistan. That was done for the purpose of spreading religious fanaticism, which was later used to turn the national war of Afghanistan to a religious war – a war between “believers” – Muslims, Christians and others; and “non-believers” which essentially meant USSR and all the states under a Communist Party’s control.

USA played the “religious card” and chose to name it “Islam” in American print and electronic media. The term “Crusades” was intentionally dumped and the Arabic equivalent “Jihad” was bombarded through every western channel. The target was the “Muslim Mind” which understood the word “Jihad” as a sacred religious duty to be performed, to achieve “martyrdom” in the footsteps of earlier Muslims fighting side by side of their Great Prophet Mohamad in the Battles of Badr, Khaiber, Khandaq etc.

As for the Christian Mind, Christianity was not under any threat. The word “Jihad” was another word which was being used by the media to describe the war in Afghanistan, a country which had been occupied by the Soviets, an atheist empire. In simple words the “Jihadis” must be supported because that was a war between “ the “Free World” and the “Commies”.

As for the Mindset of the Humankind is concerned, it was the same in the era 1979-1988 as in 600s – divided between “believers” and “non-believers”. And that is exactly the words which have been used in the Quran in the opening verses of Sura RUM.

In the “Batin” world there were many events which were not being noticed neither by the Christian Mind nor the Muslim Mind. They were blinded by the “Dajjali phenomenon” which had been in vogue for almost 300 years. 

Earlier on, by 1880s the excesses of colonialism had given rise to new “Ideas” in the form of Das Kapital (Marx), “Return to the Land of Zion” (Hetzel’s Zionism), and Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam (Mirza Ghulam Ahmad). That was the time of the end of 13th century Hijra, and the beginning of the 14th century Hijra. That event is clearly given in “Sura Waqia” when it is mentioned that in Latter Days mankind will be divided in 3 groups. One in the front, the second on the right and the third on the left. The conditions of the 3 groups are also given very vividly. 

After reading about the conditions of the 3 groups, the Muslim Mind must be able to understand “God’s Plan” and try to follow it.

As a reaction to the Colonialism, which associated itself with Christianity, the colonized mankind – Hindus, Muslims, Budhists, Pagans, Atheists and the rest – started praying to their respective gods  for deliverance from the “curse”. That was not ordinary prayers by the oppressed mankind. On the religious plane, the prayers were heard by their “respective gods” and arrangements were put in motion so that deliverance of all colonized peoples would become a reality. As for the “non-believers” the Human Mind resorted to “material philosophy” to find solutions. 

Marx’s “Historical Materialism” came to the rescue for the atheist. As for the “believers” there were 2 groups from amongst the Abrahamic religions :

The Judaic Dispensation (the oppressed group – Jews) translated their centuries old oppression by Christian Powers with a vengence (Zionism – which adopted the modus operandi of the colonial powers which was in vogue at that juncture. That would entail physical occupation of land, by force – “land not the people” ) to achieve their objectives.

The Islamic Dispensation (the group which had lost its 1000 years of world domination and had been totally weakened) which took the lead to revive their Belief system was led by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The modus operandi adopted by MGA’s group was:

1. Connecting religious Mindset to the source – God. 

MGA declared that he is “recipient of supranatural revelation from a Living God” and is the “Imam Mehdi” and a “prophet” appointed by God. That declaration was meant to silence the claim of the atheist, essentially, but was also to give shock treatment to the Muslim Psyche.

That helped to open up the Muslim Mindset which had started having a firm “faith” that “supranatural revelation” has stopped after the Quran had been revealed and which followed that there will be “no more prophets”. With that Mindset, the Muslim psyche was not prepared to open their minds to any new “knowledge” whether religious interpretation of the Quran or sciences. Such a mindset is bound to die. All religions of the world stopped progressing after their respective religions were disconnected from the source. Even an atheist like Engels had acknowledged this “truth” in one of his letters to Marx: “unless we have faith in the continuity of supranatural revelation, no religion can suffice to uplift a tottering society”. 

2. Killing the bedrock on which stood the edfice of Christianity by declaring that “Jesus is dead and burried in Kahsmir”.

MGA declared that he is “the Promised Masaiah” – The Reformer of the Latter Days.

That was the challenge to the Colonial Powers. A psychological shock to the Christian Mindset of the colonial powers – at every level – religious, social and political. 

3. No more wars in the name of religion – The only jihad permitted is of the PEN. 

This declaration had a similarity with the teachings of Jesus (son of Mary) “love thy neighbour” and “offer the other cheek”. 

That was another attack on the Colonial Powers which had debased mankind and justified “killing” in the name of Jesus and Christianity, to achieve their political and strategic ends.

Christianity found a “stranger in their House” speaking the language of Jesus.

4. Warnings in the form of prophecies about earthquakes, disease, natural disasters and wars. 

Those warnings were essentially directed towards the colonial powers. As for the Muslim Mindset, those warnings were “glad tidings” but with a condition. Unless the Muslim Mind opens up, the Muslim world will find itself engulfed by the same disasters.

The closing years of the 19th century was the era of crystalization of those Ideas. By 1906 the three Ideas had already transformed into three Movements and had started effecting world events.

1905 – Lenin landed in Russia to form the communist party based on Marxism.

1906 – The first Jews landed in Palestine – the Land of Zion.

1906 – All India Muslim League was formed in Bengal.

From then on the movement of Mankind has been a “drift” into one of the three “waves” which started sweeping planet earth like “Toofan-e-Nooh” (Noah’s Flood) but in another dimension. The Human Mind ought to have noticed the after effects of that “Toofan-e-Nooh”. A lesson which could be found in the annals of history. The three “waves” should have been colliding or merging into one another. A thesis and ante-thesis of a sort – the two essentials to make the process of Evolution possible and take Human Thought to a higher level of existence. 

Latter Days “Toofan-e-Nooh” demanded a Latter Days “Noah’s Ark”. It also calls for the end of the old world and the emergence of a New World Order. And it also announces the End (Qayyamat) of that part of Mankind’s Mindset which was instrumental in carrying out that “World Order” in God’s Grand Strategy for the created Universe.

If in the physical world, human nature responds to run towards safety when faced with any danger, like Noah’s Flood, (and Noah’s son running upto the mountain peak), in the higher dimension, the spiritual world, human nature would run to safety when faced with a spiritual danger. And for that the Latter Days Noah’s Ark would be that safe haven against the Latter Days Noah’s Flood. 

That “Kashti-e-Nooh”, if there is any, would point to another phenomenon. It announces “the end of the old” and the “beginning of the new”. In religious terminology, it is the birth of “Adam” who will be taught the “name of things” by God, the Creator and all the angels will have to submit.

And if “Kashti-e-Nooh” points towards the “beginning” and the “end”, then  the persons of “Adam” and “Mohamad” would indicate “human nature” personified as it evolves from “material state” to “moral state” to “spiritual state”. The place of various prophets would fit in as “stages” of “human natures” development in humankinds’s history.

With that Mindset, and imagining that one is a passenger in Latter Days Kashti-e-Nooh, the events would appear quite different as those start unfolding .

Within 9 years of 1905-1906, convulsions begin, the “gathering storm” the “waters from the ground start up gushing” which would be turned into the first phase of the  “Flood” which would engulf humankind into an “Inferno” materially as well as psychologically in the shape of World War I, referred to as The Great War and the War of Trenches. 

This should remind the Muslim Mind of the mention of The people of Trenches mentioned in the Quran, and should also remind the Muslim Mind about the Battle of Trench in the Muslim history and also about Salman Farsi who suggested to dig trenches in that battle and also about the promise which God made to the Prophet about the Romans and Persians Empires, with every strike on that rock which would not break until the Prophet started hitting the rock himself. All these events had a Message of the future, and which is mentioned in the Quran at different places. 

At the end of the WW-I (War of Trenches) in 1917 – One fifth of mankind came under the fold of a “No God” religion in the shape of Socialist Revolution in Russia. One of the “waves” started swelling up. Noah’s Ark is tossed about when atheist Marxism-Leninism associates its philosophy with the “poor man or the under dog” in the famous slogan, “workers of the world unite”; announces the end of the “nation state” and “nationalism”;  and claimed to establish a “stateless and class less society for mankind”. That event on the international plane sent the earlier Christian colonial powers into a “trough” the opposite of a “crest”. The next 20 years is the reaction of that “trough” 

1917 – 1939 – Another “wave” which was a ramnent of the colonial mindset based on “land not the people” and “nationalism” was shown the ugliness of that ideology in its extreme form in the shape of Nazism and Fascism. 

1939 – 1945 – That is the time when “the waters from the heavens were let lose” and added to the “Flood” down below. Noah’s Ark kept tossing about, and in the words of the Quran, “earth convulsed”, “mountains were raised to ground, and mountains were moved”. New formations – new powers emerged. But there was no Arrarat and no other peak where Noah’s Ark could anchor, because the “Flood” had not yet subsided.

1945 – 1989 – The passengers in the Noah’s Ark sight land, a pigeon is let lose to bring back the “olive branch”. (1994 MTA). Slowly the passengers see the “Flood” subsiding. And since the subsiding of the Flood will also announce a new beginning in a different dimension, TIME has taken a different scale when it comes to the interpretation of the events which are other worldly. 

The Reagan Era which was the peak of “Latter Days” Romans, and who until that point in time were amongst “Believers”  were demanded to “do more” to qualify as “believers”, which they refused and started committing those mistakes which one normally does when “opposing for the sake of opposition” which takes one away from logic and reason, away from rationality and plunges into the depths of immorality – back to the material form of existence.

The phenomenon of “EXPOSURE” of “Dajjali Forces” started with the “Desert Storm” in Iraq. Muslim Mindset for the first time saw the true face of their “believer friends” because of whom they had cut assunder their “head” in 1974 in Pakistan, and had become a “headless monster”, wild and reactionary, who could have been lured in the name of “Jihad” to jump into the “third inferno” whose fuel was Muslim generations from around the world.

And while we are still wandering around having these 5-D glasses, what is happening in Pakistan would become much more interesting. For after 1917 Socialist Revolution (besides the USSR which came into existence on an ideology) there were two other states which are ideological states.

1947 – Pakistan which came into existence because of an “Idea” which crystalized in the political sense in 1906 and was realized in 1947.

1949- Israel which was also based on an “Idea” which crystalized in 1905, and was realized in 1949.

USSR is no more. The Christian Powers of the West and the East (Trinity) is on the decline. Apparently it seems the “Last Battle” will be between “Allah” (Islamic Dispensation) and “Jehova” (Judaic Dispensation). Trinity (Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost) would have to make a choice – between either “Allah” or “Jehova” OR “Budha” or “Confucius”.

All this hype in the CFR and amongst other think tanks like Stratfor; and books like Huntington’s “Clash of civilizations” or Freidman’s “The Next Hundred Years” and George Bush’s dialogue with the French President to go and find “Jagoog” and “Magoog” in Iraq before attacking Sadam’s Iraq, indicates a CONFUSION, consequent to the “Noah’s Flood”.

Those who are aboard the Noah’s Ark, are witnessing the same scenes which we read about what came after the Flood subsided. And who were the pioneers of the New World Order, a responsibility towards mankind to usher them into the next phase of “evolution” both in the material world and the spiritual world – to prepare Man to undertake the space travels to other planets and galaxies.

This is just the BEGINNING!
