Beware of
Muslim Neocons
By Habib Siddiqui

Mr Tahir Ali's article on
the above subject has drawn my attention. He said,
"What these Muslim neo-cons and Rand Robots
are seeking is not reform but intellectual and
moral surrender. However, there is one important
difference between Muslim neo-cons and Rand Robots:
the Muslim neo-cons do not attack Islam or Prophet
of Islam, the Rand Robots do. Remember, in the
war of wits, mind is the ultimate target but mind
is also the ultimate weapon."
I have some disagreement with some part of this
statement. While the first sentence above is true,
the second belies reality. The so-called Muslim
neocons that Daniel Pipes usually mentions to
make his case are mostly apostates. See, his latest
tirade: Improving Islam's Image(http://www.bangladesh-web.com/view.php?hidDate=2005-01-04&hidType=OPT&hidRecord=0000000000000000031509)
where he mentions Jamal Hasan. The latter is well
known for his remarks that show that he has left
Islam (see, e.g. his many postings in a discussion
group: Mukto-mona - a forum for so-called free-thinkers,
with an unabashed crusade against Islam): http://www.mukto-ona.com/Articles/jamal_hasan/.
Pipes also mentions Dr. Khorshed Alam Chowdhury
in some of his writings as another admirer.
Like Jamal Hasan, he is openly against Islam (his
views can be read in Mukto-mona and www.faithFreedom.org
websites). So, to say that these neo-cons don't
attack Islam or its prophet is a very wrong statement.
Many of these so-called Muslim neocons are actually
fulfilling the task of "native intellectuals"
(whom I have been calling - house niggers or cultural
coolies - in some of my essays posted in the newspapers
and Internet) in support of their imperial masters
of our age. They are no different than the Rand
Robots in ideology, but are more harmful than
the latter, because of their namesake and somewhat
familiarity with our people.
What every student of history knows is that it
does not require too many foot soldiers to occupy
a land and rule it effectively, as long as there
are traitors like Jagat Seth, Umi Chand, Rai Durlabh
and Mir Jafar that are willing to betray the masses
and work for the colonizer. Muslim neocons are
trying to fulfill that historical role. They should
be identified and shunned by our people for the
harm they bring to our community. My latest article
"Anatomy of Racism" throws some light
on this subject.(http://world.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/12338).
