Pakistan and 5 Female Polio Workers killed is the Legacy of Saudi Arabia, UK and US: Now Aimed at Syria.

By Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker

In any nation where you have radical Sunni Islamists intent on killing, then barbarity is only around the corner. This applies to killing minority Muslim groups, persecuting non-Muslims, attacking women and a host of unsavory factors which bind Islamic jihadists together. Therefore, the murder of five female polio workers and one male worker in Pakistan isn’t a surprise. After all, this is the typical Islamist mindset which only knows how to butcher and to turn the clock back to “year zero.” Given this reality, then the criminal act in killing health workers on the grounds of jihad, sums up the warped logic of a religious movement which is intent on crushing all alternative thought patterns. In a world based on logic, then these health workers would be praised for dedicating their lives for the good of humanity. Yet logic within the mindset of Islamic jihadists is not only thin on the ground but it is equally neo-primitive to an extreme. However, if we turn the clock back to the early 1980s then nations like America, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom supported radical Sunni Islamists against communist Afghanistan. This meant that special operatives from within the CIA representing America and the ISI from Pakistan, and other operatives from nations like the United Kingdom, enabled international Islamists to get a foothold in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The upshot of all this was that a nightmare was created and today the world is witnessing this ongoing nightmare. It is abundantly clear that the roots of September 11 are connected with the political naivety and crassness of nations like America and the United Kingdom. After all, it is clear that Saudi Arabia and the elites within Pakistan in the 1980s were intent on spreading Islamism based on religious and political factors. Yet for America and the United Kingdom it was about “turning the Islamist clock on and off” to when it suited. Of course, the events of September 11 woke America up briefly but under the Obama administration it is clear that the “Islamist clock is being turned on” once more. The same now applies to nations like France, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. After all, these nations are now behind many atrocities in Syria. This applies to killing religious minorities, killing pro-Sunni supporters of the government, beheading people, daily car bombings, torturing Syrian soldiers and a plethora of crimes against humanity. Indeed, in the last few weeks many images coming out of Syria highlight the fact that children are now being indoctrinated just like in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Yet, just like the crisis in Afghanistan in the 1980s it is major Western nations, along with powerful Middle Eastern countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which are funding this hatred in Syria. The upshot of all this, is that now small children are being taught by various Islamist terrorist groups and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to behead and torture pro-government individuals and Syrian soldiers. Alongside this, children in Syria under the control of the FSA and various Islamist factions are being taught to hate mainstream Sunni Muslims, Alawites, the Shia, Christians and members of the Druze community. Turning back to the recent brutal murder of five female polio workers and one male member, then this hatred was ignited by the deeds of outside nations and the political elites in Pakistan in the 1980s and 1990s. This was supported by Islamist indoctrination which spread sectarianism, terrorism and the persecution of women. However, this was tolerated and supported by America, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and other nations, because of various factors in the past. Yet, you can’t “switch off radical Islamism” to suit the agenda of the day and September 11 was further evidence of this. Despite this, political elites in Ankara, Doha, London, Paris, Riyadh and Washington are now working together alongside international jihadists and Islamist indoctrination in Syria. This means that the secular government of Syria is fighting for its survival and the same applies to mainstream Sunni Islam and all minority faiths, which are deemed to be infidels in the eyes of Salafi Islamists. If individuals want to see the consequences of supporting such a brutal policy, then one only needs to look at Afghanistan and Pakistan in order to see the future. Therefore, while the five Pakistan polio health workers were killed in late 2012 in and around Karachi, it is abundantly clear that the evil forces unleashed in the 1980s by outside nations and elites within Pakistan, are equally to blame for unleashing radical Islamism. In this sense, the brutal murder of these health workers ties in with the unfolding events of the last 40 years in this part of Asia. Similarly, the brutal video of a child hacking at the head of a captured Syrian soldier would have been unimaginable until recent times in this country. Yet, once more, outside nations like America, France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Qatar are all “switching on the Islamist clock” in order to crush secular Syria. This reality means that the madness of Afghanistan and Pakistan is now being replicated in Syria by the usual players.
