Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

US, Israel, Australia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau: the Great Anti-terror Powers

Jul 21, 2004 9:11 am By Robert Spencer

The whole world has voted for terrorism — except for Australia, Israel, the US, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau. More evidence of the rank corruption and utter worthlessness of the UN. From AAP, with thanks to Kevin:

Australia was among just six nations that opposed a United Nations resolution calling on Israel to tear down part of its West Bank barrier, in a stance described as proof America dictated Australia’s foreign policy.

Australia voted against a UN General Assembly resolution which backed a World Court ruling calling on Israel to tear down part of barrier – an unfinished 700km concrete and barbed wire fence built partly on West Bank territory.

The resolution was supported in the UN by 150 countries with only Australia, Israel, the US, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau voting against it, and 10 abstentions.

Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ameer Ali said the Australian vote sent a message to the Muslim community that the government had no sympathy for Palestine.

“It is disheartening,” Dr Ali said.

“Israel, America and Australia – these are three important countries that have voted against it.

“I expected that to happen because the present government goes all the way with what the Americans say, we don’t have independent foreign policy at the moment.

“The government has not said anything in favour or in sympathy with the Palestinian people.

“That is the most troubling issue in the Muslim world and as long as that problem remains boiling, the governments that support this American foreign policy will be looked at with disfavour.”

A respectful suggestion for Mr. Ali: maybe if he conveyed to his Palestinian Arab friends that if they stopped blowing up civilians in buses and restaurants, renounced violent jihad and Sharia provisions of dhimmitude, and accepted a peaceful negotiated solution to the conflict, they would command a great deal more sympathy. These words from the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism explain it all:

The Coalition believes that terrorism can never be justified.

No other issue has been more frequently used to justify global terrorism than the alleged support for the Palestinian cause….

The Coalition believes unambiguously that organizations like HAMAS, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad are criminal terrorist organizations and their alleged support for the Palestinian cause does not in any way justify their use of terror or the killing of innocent Jews, Christians and Muslims.

The Coalition believes that terrorist organizations such HAMAS and Islamic Jihad have done more to hurt the Palestinian cause than any perceived enemy of the Palestinians. The Coalition believes that the Palestinians have a just cause and have the right to live in peace and prosperity. The Coalition also believes that Israelis have a just cause and have the right to live in peace and prosperity.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is characterized by the same jihadist rhetoric as conflicts around the world between Muslims and non-Muslims. Israel is just one front in the global jihad, and all anti-jihadists should recognize that.

But of course, all this is not a problem for Palestinians at the UN, where they already have won the allegiance and sympathy of the world.

It is time for this stout coalition of six countries — and any others who may find within themselves some last vestiges of moral discernment and courage — to leave the UN and shake the dust from their feet. It’s time for any states that wish to resist the global jihad to take a long, serious look at Dr. Rafael Israeli’s proposal: an Alliance of Western and Democratic States (AWADS):

Coexistence between the West and the Muslim world, if not peaceful then at least non-belligerent, cannot exist or last unless a system of unilateral measures of self-defense is adopted by the West, but advertised and made clear to all, on the one hand; and another system of reward and non-lethal punishment is put in place, as a menu for every Muslim country or organization to choose from, if it elected to enjoy the goodies of the West, on the other.

Both do not require any agreement on the part of the Muslim countries, but do assume a united and uniform policy of Western countries, who are willing to participate in the effort and also to benefit from its fruits, those who belong there today, or prove in the future that they respond to the cumulative criteria, set by the West itself, for joining in, such as a certain per-capita income, a certain GNP judged necessary to maintain Western norms, a regime of liberal democracy- elected, with pacific transfer of power, accountable, a-personal, non-hereditary; a free press, transparency of government, human rights and freedoms; free enterprise, freedom of property, transaction of real estate and funds; freedom to create in the arts, the humanities, literature, and protection of one’s creation; and a strong and independent judiciary to oversee all this. Such countries that would be accepted to the AWADS (Alliance of Western and Democratic States), at the center of which will be the US, Canada, Australia and Western Europe, will add other applicants as they prove their adaptability to its rules and their willingness and capacity to live by and up to them.

This system may sidetrack the chaotic situation in the UN today, where politics and shifting majorities, composed of dictatorships for the most part, determine the moral and other standards of behaviour in the world body. Durban 2001, should remain for ever a warning to the level of hatred and bigotry that the UN today is capable of stooping to.

Rules of Co-existence

AWADS will announce that it is organized to fight in unison terror, but is open not only to cooperation with Muslim countries who so desire, as long as they meet the two criteria of renouncing violence externally and enhance human rights domestically, but would even consider co-opting them into the organization if they should wean themselves from terror and develop political systems acceptable to it.

Thus, without threats, recriminations, forced reforms and all the rest, a powerful incentive is introduced in the international arena for change, the Western way, if a country so elects, or stay in the putrid marsh of UN politics. The West will then determine whom to get into AWADS, and once there what sort of obligations every country has to meet, proportionately to its strength, population and wealth, in contrast to the universality of the UN, which permits that any group of evil terrorist countries, such as Algeria, Syria and Sudan can determine the agenda and resolutions of, for example, the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva….
