Demolishing mosques and graveyards?
Saudi government demolished Islam's Prophet Mohammad’s 1,400-years old home in Makkah, some months or about an year ago. According to reports (we have to rely on 'reports' because only these 'reports' are available from the behind of Saudi Veil, 'purdah', or say 'Burqa') the house has been destroyed to make way for “a parking lot, two 50-storey hotel towers and seven 35-storey apartment blocks” as part of the Jabal Omar Scheme, just around the corner from the Grand Mosque. Very interestingly, the Saudi royal family, the guardians of the holy places of Islam who profit hugely from the centuries-old traffic of believers to Makkah and Madina, are party to this demolition, or say desecration of the holiest sites in the Islamic world? Read further.
-Some years ago the Saudis levelled the graveyard in Madina that contained the graves of the family and companions of the Prophet.
-A few years ago, Saudis demolished an old Ottoman fort in Makkah, in spite of the protests of the Turkish government.
-Many new and old mosques and graveyards have been razed, demolished or shifted to accommodate widening of roads or launching sewage lines of buildings that are considered more useful on the location in Saudi Arabia.
Ballimaran in Old Delhi houses my optician, obviously a Muslim, and a very devout one. Thinking I am going to hand him and others listening to me, an equal of an atom bomb in shape of the above information, I was utterly disappointed to know that some of this information was already in circulation amongst Muslims, particularly in that area which also touches Jama Masjid, the abode or den of Imam Bhukhari.Further, why is it that when the Babri was demolished, hundreds of thousands of Muslims worldwide took to the streets to protest, but when Saudi authorities demolish the home of their beloved Prophet, not a whisper is heard?? Well the oracle containing the answers to this is not much difficult to ascertain;
i) It is because Muslims have become so overwhelmed by the power of the Saudi riyal currency that they have lost all courage and self-respect?
ii) There is a strong feel for a need to cover up Muslim-on-Muslim violence; Muslim-on-Muslim terror; Muslim-on-Muslim oppression, although it keeps popping its ugly head up repeatedly in Shia-Sunni violence, especially in Iraq,in India and in the failed state of Pakistan.
iii) And lastly, this explains this blatant hypocrisy? While many of major religious leaders and/or politicians have long been direct and indirect recipients of Saudi largess (allegedly often in the shape of visas and work permits that they sell), what explains the silence of people and parties who are not influenced by petro-dollars? And this not only applies to India, it applies even more to holiest-than-the-holiest Muslims, Pakistan and Bangladesh!After all, why was there not even a whisper of a protest in the whole of the Muslim world, despite this news being on the Internet for a long time and, your sincerely has the evidence, the news getting published in a national daily of Pakistan?
I fully know that the premise of my writing would itself be attacked by those who would consciously want to demolish my theory, for those of them, here is a link to an online pertition, posted my an Islamic organisation based in Canada :www.petitiononline.com/rasul/petition.html. Confront me more and I'll give you a copy of the leading Pakistani daily carrying the news!!
