You Are Both Wrong!: Western Media and Islamic Terrorist

By Farid Adel

Less than half a century ago, the Western world and the world of Islam co-existed. Islam was among the world’s great and firmly established religions. Today, perceptions of Islam in the West have changed. Jihad, terrorism, grisly acts of televised violence, threats of destruction, and a general animosity punctuates the messages received about Islam and Muslims.

In You Are Both Wrong! author Farid Adel examines what happened and asks and answers the questions:

• Are all these faithful responsible for the world’s terrors?
• Is this religion really a religion of peace or is it one of war?
• Why do we have such disasters, such devastations of humanity and property perpetrated by these savages in the name of Islam.
• Why have these aberrations arisen in every Islamic nation?
• Who are the perpetrators?
• What can be done to remedy this unfortunate phenomenon? Adel discusses the cause, and reasons by whom and how, and what to do to rectify this shameful reality, whether it be the work of jihadists or other evil doers of the world.

You Are Both Wrong! shares a message of enlightenment and hope to the world. It emphasizes the facts and logical discussion, addition to that, it is proving the message of the Quran and challenges both the critics and the so-called Islamic terrorists. It seeks to build a bridge across a chasm that was deliberately and artificially created between Islam and the rest of the world.

FOREWORD

WITH LIGHTNING SPEED AND RELENTLESS STREAMS OF REPETITIVE and unevaluated messages, the Internet and all forms of electronic media have radically altered our perception of the world we live in and which all must share.

Less than half a century ago the Western world and the world of Islam co-existed. Islam was among the world’s great and firmly established religions. Much like the other great religions it was also instrumental in advancing the cause of civilization in areas where its message took hold.

Today, perceptions of Islam in the West have changed. Jihad, terrorism, grisly acts of televised violence, threats of destruction and a general animosity punctuate the messages we receive about Islam, and Muslims. What happened?

Author Farid Adel has made it a years-long endeavor to discover the causes of this rapid shift in perception and the adoption of radical and warlike actions against humanity in the name of religion. He demonstrates analytically how they relate to the actual message of Islam as written in the Quran. The truth, once revealed is simple and easy to understand. It runs parallel to similar phenomena occurring elsewhere and in other arenas of life — political, social, and religious, by which we have all been influenced.

This book is one of enlightenment and hope. It seeks to build a bridge across a chasm that was deliberately and artificially created between Islam and the rest of the world. It answers the questions so many have raised about what happened. The answers are refreshing and will go a long way in restoring people’s faith in basic humanity.

INTRODUCTION

ONCE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS OLD, MY MOTHER, A young woman, and a city dweller, dressed me in short pants, a polo shirt, white socks, and brand-new shoes. She was so proud seeing her firstborn son playing and walking around her walled courtyard. When I started walking, feeling the softness and the ghish-ghish sound of my new shoes, I was prompted to continue walking out the door to discover the world outside the wall. Shortly, I found myself on the streets of the Old Kabul. The neighborhood where I grew-up was called Baghi Ali Mardan (named after Ali Mardan who had been born in Kabul. He was the very same Ali Mardan who designed and built Taj Mahal Garden, in Agra, India, four centuries earlier). As I continued walking, passers-by noticed me and that I had been wandering around with no adult supervision, let alone in the company of other children. Several shop customers and neighbors noticed me and started discussing my situation. A shopkeeper, named Husain, well known in the neighborhood, took on the responsibility of assisting me. This was something he was known to do for anyone in the neighborhood whenever help was needed, like a self-appointed mayor of the area.

This quality of kindness and virtue were woven into the fabric of communities throughout Kabul and elsewhere in Afghanistan. As his shop was just a few yards away, Husain walked over and brought me to the front of his shop and sat me in a corner of his store. He handed me candy and dry nuts to keep me occupied while he sent his young son to inform the neighbors about a found child who was presumed missing.

All the while, my mother kept busy doing her daily chores and housework. As was the norm at the time, every section of Kabul city was a sort of large family and close-knit community. Everyone knew everyone else. The news of my wanderings quickly reached my mother. And for my mother and I, it all ended very well.

This type of friendly care and responsibility for others was common in Kabul and all around that part of the world. During my early years, in my primary education and eventually high school, we rarely heard about serious crimes. Murders, rapes, attacks, or thefts were not at all commonplace. Everyone was able to live their lives in total peace and harmony. The youngsters always respected the elders, even if an elder was a stranger. I remember well my grandfather, Muhammad Nabi. He was an officer in the Afghan military. Every evening, when he came home and our dinner was about to be served — just before that moment — it was his custom to walk outside the house onto the street and look for someone passing by whom he would invite for dinner; friend or stranger, it did not matter. One time I asked him about that. Afghan hospitality dictates this to us: sharing is the best sign of charity, he replied enthusiastically.

There are many examples of this sense of community and safety I experienced in my youth. In the summers, due to the intense heat and the lack of air conditioning, people would bring cots outside and sleep peacefully all night without fear of harassment. During those hot summer nights, as I recall, sleeping on our roof was one of my most precious memories. Lying in cozy beds, we all slept under the beautiful and starlit sky. On our backs, staring up, I recall the questions and curiosities about stars, and the creations of the universe. It was extraordinarily spectacular to see the details of the Milky Way. Those were simple but priceless memories. Moreover, security was never in question. People everywhere, whether from the city or countryside seldom bothered to lock their doors. No one felt threatened or afraid. It was like one happy community, and to me, it seemed the norm very much.

Almost every other week there was a wedding or some other big celebration. When they happened, people in the surrounding neighborhood were simply invited by word of mouth. There were no official wedding invitations or other such formalities. A few people, for example, on their way to the wedding, might encounter someone they knew along the way. After the normal chit chat, they were asked where they were going. The response was to the wedding of so and so. They would then invite the friend to accompany them to the wedding and even insist, as necessary, to get them to join in the celebration. The wedding hosts would never question who these guests were but greeted them all warmly in the typical way of Afghan hospitality.

We used to travel anywhere to any parts of our country without the slightest difficulty or harassment by the authorities, or criminals. There was little evidence of the presence of any criminals. Kabul was a beautiful city with modern buildings and a peaceful environment. There were theaters, cinemas, shopping centers, parks, and museums. The wealthy and well to do residents of Kabul could afford to have homes in both Jalalabad for winter vacation, and in Paghman (in the northern mountains near Kabul) for summer vacation. All forms of education were free and students who enrolled in higher education were actually paid a monthly stipend by the government just to continue his or her education.

One other important factor of life in Kabul was that all health care was provided by the government, and we felt that it was something normal. There were no state or federal income taxes. Merchandise, food, and other necessities were tax free. Only big businesses were subject to paying government taxes.

This next fact of life in Kabul, quite unbelievable to many, was nevertheless true: there was never a single incident of rape, child abduction, or children disappearing from their homes. I had never heard of bank robbery, extortion, kidnapping, or hostage taking, let alone beheadings. People of differing faiths freely practiced their religious beliefs. We had Hindus, Jews, Pashtuns, and a variety of ethnicities all around us. There were Shias as a minority Muslims sect, but we never considered that they were anything but Afghan citizens. No one was a stranger; all minorities were Afghan citizens. The artists were busy performing, students were busy with studies. Travel was common, businessmen were conducting business and so it was. For the life of me, I do not know what happened to those happy times! Who is responsible — and why?

As a student, back in early 1974, when I came to this great country, the United States of America, I immediately enrolled at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. After several years there, I continued my studies at the University of New Mexico and eventually graduated from the University of California, Davis, with an M.A. During those years my life took a very different path. I became an America citizen and eventually a member of The Unites States Armed Forces. After over twenty years of service, I retired from active duty in 2002 and currently, among other things, I stay busy writing books.

EVENTS AFTER 9/11

In the early morning after September 11th, 2001, as was usual, I arrived at work at March Air Reserve Base in California. As I entered my workstation, and carefully walked toward my desk, I immediately sensed a chilly reception and a new and unpleasant reaction to my presence from my fellow workers. I realized then that they suddenly saw me as a different man, a man who may have something in common with those Arab terrorists. Perhaps I was even in league with the attackers.

That was heartbreaking to me. I had always thought of myself as a proud and dedicated American, something I became by conscious choice, not by accident of birth. However, despite the heartbreak, I did not blame anyone. Like the sensible fellow I believe myself to be, I understood their feelings perfectly. To understand their reactions, I put myself in their shoes, so to speak. In doing that, I felt the same feelings they demonstrated towards me. Moreover, I sympathized with them.

Nevertheless, we lost three thousand innocent men, women, and children. For this there was no possible justification. Even though I was an American citizen, I felt like a stranger in my own country, in this beautiful land; I felt I was party to some ugly act against the people of this country, just because I adhered to the same religion as the terrorists do. My co-workers and Americans seemed to assume that I must be one of them.

However, this horrible act of barbarism was what motivated me to research and seek the truth and the cause of these and other un-Islamic acts which were perpetrated by Arabs and other evil doers of the world. Sadly, they were done under the banner of Islam. Though I was extremely sad and perplexed, I asked myself if Islam was really the cause of these horrible acts by these terrorists. I asked if Islam was responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people. And finally, I asked if so, why? Eventually, I questioned myself; if I believed in a faulty religion, a religion that encourages its followers to commit the mass murder of men, women, and children in its name. Does the Quran command them to do this? Was Muhammad responsible for all that killing? And following in this vein, I questioned and questioned and saw that answers were not readily forthcoming. I needed some answers.

Thereafter, I began lengthy research for the root cause of those terrorists, their perverse thinking, and ultimately, their un-Islamic ideologies. To begin to understand the complex and convoluted interpretation of a righteous book into completely un-Islamic behavior and the killing of thousands of innocent people, the first and most crucial assignment I undertook was to read and study the Quran in total and in depth. In doing so, I did not just translate, but I interpreted, using my own human ability, working with magnanimity and love and my God-given intelligence to understand the meaning of each verse of the Quran. After several years of hard work, the result was my first book: The Meaning of the Quran. This book introduced the basic knowledge of the message of the Quran. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to grasp the beautiful meaning of this final Book of God. During this time, I wrote several other books on Islam and its followers. The reason for writing so many books has been to inform and educate the Islamic people, as well as others, whenever and wherever possible.

During this period of writing, I gave several live television interviews in which I introduced the true meaning of the verses of the Quran. Many people, specifically the Afghans, were quite enthusiastic hearing about my book. Immediately orders came in from people wishing to obtain copies.

As additional background, I had a live local television show which was broadcast in Orange County, California, for over eight months. During the time of those broadcasts, I sensed a dire need and strong yearning among people for this type of literature. This show, and similar efforts can be considered most essential to disseminating untainted Muslim ideology, specifically in the non-Arab speaking Muslim communities.

However, in this book, you will learn how I examine each topic, each question and then challenge the claims made by the critics. Among the critics we find jihadists, media, and the American public. These claims center on Islam and the people who believe in it. In addition, I will challenge the Islamic terrorists who call themselves Muslims, radical Islam, and fanatics in the name of a peaceful belief. I will also challenge the legitimacy of barbaric acts all over the globe, executed under the banner of Islam that affect us all around the world. The critics and the Islamic terrorists both claim and accuse that the commands of the Quran are responsible for their hateful viewpoints and the inhumanity they unleash upon innocents; actions which I will also discuss.

In the following pages, I will challenge each claim both by Western critics and the so-called Jihadists, terrorists, and fanatics. We also identify them under the name of Mullah, Shaikh, Ayatollah, Imam, Taliban and so on. The way I wish to accomplish this task is by covering each statement, event, and viewpoint of which we regularly hear. In so doing, we hope to be able to comprehend the reality of today’s terror, destruction, and the murder of innocents around the world. And finally, it will be instrumental in helping answer the most essential question: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? I am hoping to clarify the answer here, once in for all, and remove the stain of violence and barbarism from Islam, the Quran, and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY

There have been numerous efforts by two very different groups of people to undermine a great and peaceful religion, a religion with a population of over one and a half billion faithful. It is a population that includes people of all colors and many creeds and nationalities. Despite these many differences they all believe in this monotheistic religion; the religion of Abraham, that is Islam. One might ask, are all these faithful responsible for the world’s terrors? Is this religion really a religion of peace or is it one of war? Why do we have such disasters, such devastations of humanity and property perpetrated by these savages in the name of Islam? Why have these aberrations arisen in every Islamic nation? Who are the perpetrators? Finally, what can be done to remedy this unfortunate phenomenon?

In this publication, we will discuss the cause, by whom and how, and what to do to rectify this shameful reality, whether it be the work of jihadists or other evil doers of the world.

On the one hand, there are those who wish Islam to simply fall out of practice, and who object to the size of its immense following. They see that this religion presents a huge obstacle to their preferred way of life, to their own beliefs, economic structure, and even their very existence.

However, Islam is not just a religion, it is an ideology and a way of life. Islam teaches that human beings are born pure and sinless. No one is responsible for or can take responsibility for the sins or actions of others. In the court of the Almighty Allah, the doors of forgiveness are always open for those who sincerely repent. God/Allah continuously reminds us in the Quran and in the Bible of His infinite mercy and compassion. Muslims are enjoined to maintain inner spiritual purity through constant remembrance of and worship of God only. Islam balances the spiritual dimension by also emphasizing human responsibility. Human beings are created with a purpose. Attainment of piety is but one dimension of such purpose; playing an active role in the creation of a just and equal society is another. Because Muslims attach importance to what happens in this world, they have made substantial contributions to the development of science, medicine, mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, chemistry, arts, and literature.

On the other hand, fanatics, jihadists, radicals, and the Mullahs claim that they are the true followers of Islam and therefore the de facto representatives of the Prophet Muhammad. Unfortunately, they have not realized how far they have strayed from Islam and the teachings of the Quran. Nevertheless, they are the perpetrators and are generally motivated by a mix of factors, including militant Islamist ideology, a dislike of Americans/Europeans and their foreign and domestic policy regarding the Muslim world. These murderers first hate Muslims, then they hate Jews and Christians. They disapprove of the lifestyle of Western nations. In other words, anyone who does not live the way they believe one should live, is the enemy. Thus, all the so-called Militant Islam feel a need to attach themselves to an ideology or organization that gives them a sense of purpose, and a self-recognition through militant Islam that is often precipitated by unsavory personal desires. For many, joining a jihadist group or carrying out an attack allowed them to become heroes of their own story and their own dream. That is only a dream of the ignorant.

In truth, the dream of the vast majority of the ignorant is a longing to meet and to consummate with seventy-two beautiful virgins with alluring eyes, naked bodies, and passionate desires. Unfortunately, they are entirely wrong and have no idea how far their perceived ideology is from the actual truth. Their perverse and evil ideology is in total contradiction to the commands of Islam’s sacred book, the Quran. Every act of terror they commit in the name of Islam violates the commands of the Quran. They assume that by killing innocent people, they will be able to join these fabled seventy-two virgins. How tragically wrong this is.

We must take into consideration that human beings have a unique characteristic that is, and will always be, in most cases, the sense and urge to seek out and involve themselves in conflict. This unfortunate characteristic of human nature is what creates war and hostility amongst groups, races, nationalities, and religions. And something most important to know is how it is waged through economics. Once we recognize these unfortunate factors, perhaps we may then be able to understand why. The result may be a raised ability to confront them. From the dawn of civilization, men have fought each other, attacked each other, and invaded each other’s lands. It seems like it will never end.

What you are about to read is my personal opinion, which is based on facts and truths, including my researched materials relevant to our topics. It addresses both the reality of today’s terrorist acts on our planet and those who attack Islam, the Quran, and the Prophet Muhammad. Afterwards I will challenge anyone and everyone who disputes the validity of what I present to my readers.

The bulk of our discussion will be in redress to the faultfinders by logical approach, to those who call themselves Muslims. By their very acts I will clearly identify them as nothing of the sort, but rather, as the un-Islamic.

CAUSE

WE BEGIN WITH THIS TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PHENOMENON OF Islamic terrorists and Jihadists. Throughout human history we have experienced many of the same cruelties, mass killings, invasions, destruction, and pure evil committed by humans upon other humans. These atrocities were not confined to a specific part of the globe or a specific historical period. Thus, not even the smallest villages have been spared from some measure of violence at some point in time. Here, and in this book, what we are tasked with is bringing under scrutiny the entirety of human behavior, regardless of origins in geography or time. We are all familiar with the datum History Repeats Itself. Let’s keep it in mind.

First, by grasping the reality of our own human nature, we may become better able to understand the cause of any human behavior. Since the beginning of history, this phenomenon has shown itself repeatedly. We must perforce return in time to earlier periods of human civilization. For example, before the rise of Islam, Europeans, peoples of the Middle East, and especially the Arabian Peninsula were all living through the so-called "Dark Ages.’’ To further illustrate this unenlightened period, during the time of Prophet Muhammad, in the ancient city of Mecca, there were only thirteen people who knew how to read and write. In Arabia, there was no government, no legal institutions, no spiritual entity to provide adequate justice, let alone comfort, for the innocent and vulnerable victims of arbitrary cruelty meted out by the powerful. There were no man-made or heavenly laws. Victims were at the mercy of their elders, and then their clan leaders.

In Europe, the entire population was in stark stagnation. The Church had complete control of European civilization, such as it was. Everyone was keeping busy struggling to survive and provide the barest essentials for their children. No new discoveries, no significant works of advancement were known. It is for good reason then, that historians called this period "The Dark Ages.’’ This period is a categorization commonly used to describe the time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Italian Renaissance and the Age of Exploration. Roughly speaking, the Dark Ages corresponds to the Middle Ages, or from 500 to 1500 CE.

Living in the countryside was tough during the Middle Ages. The presence of the Little Ice Age meant that crops routinely failed, and people literally starved to death. Understandably, people began heading to towns or cities. From the 14th century onwards, Europe’s cities began to boom. Most were founded where people tended to gather naturally, either at a crossroads or by a river or lake. Alternatively, cities also started to spring up around cathedrals. But life here was not much easier, especially for everyday folk. Indeed, as many historians of the period have noted, town or city life for a poor person in the Medieval era was nasty and brutal to say the least.

It goes without saying that cities were amazingly unsanitary. Rivers and streams were used for both sewage and for drinking water. Disease was rife and—since houses and makeshift dwellings were packed together inside the city limits—spread rapidly. Moreover, since few people knew about matters relating to health and hygiene, little was done to keep rivers clean. And, as if dysentery and typhoid weren’t bad enough, these cramped conditions meant that the plague spread rapidly through Europe’s cities, decimating their populations.

But still, people stayed, preferring city life to the brutal existence of living and starving in the countryside. Certainly, they didn’t stay for the nightlife. Yes, there were taverns, dens of drunkenness, with prostitutes ready to take any spare coins you might have. But going out to the local pub was a huge risk. Almost all cities in the Middle Ages imposed nightly curfews, a time when people were expected to be in their homes. If you went out after that, then you ran the risk of being robbed or murdered, with no police out on the streets to protect you.

The Middle Ages, or medieval period, lasted from the 5th century to the late 15th century, between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance. It was marked by momentous events including the building of the great cathedrals, the Crusades, the bubonic plague, the rise of cities and universities, the official break between the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox churches, known as the Great Schism, and the flourishing of the arts, including manuscript illumination. Throughout the centuries, women persevered against strictures placed on them by virtue of their sex, making essential contributions in literature, politics, agriculture, and family life.

In times of such harsh and primitive life as are being described, there was also the beginning of Heavenly Revelations and messages of peace and justice by the Revelation from Heaven that is called the Quran. Prior to the Quran, there were numerous scriptures from Heaven, called the Bible. Unfortunately, Arabia was without any form of heavenly scriptures since the beginning of human existence.

In this book, we will learn much of the superior message of this excellent book of wisdom and science, The Quran. The Quran has verses that acknowledge the existence and approval of all Heavenly Revelation, including The Old and New Testaments.

We begin with the obvious question, one most critics like to point out, which is: Is Islam a Religion of Peace? This is a phrase that has become entirely pervasive. It has become an inescapable question that captures the attention. This, and other new phenomenal terms such as Jihadists, Radical-Islam and Islamic terrorists have encroached upon our awareness in recent years. Hearing these new vocabulary items and understanding them aroused my curiosity. Contrary to what we are told repeatedly by the pundits, I felt compelled and even forced to write that Islam is-the-Religion of Peace! Some politicians and nearly all media outlets clearly blame Islam and its Book, the Quran, for all terror acts throughout the world. But that is not the case, as we will learn quite fully. Generally, it is easy, convenient, and often lazy for anyone to blame someone else for their misfortune. But fact is fact, and we will have the opportunity to visit each accusation that is relevant to Muslims and Islam.

Therefore, here, and now, I personally challenge anyone and everyone to produce any verse of the Quran that suggests, or even hints at the carrying out of atrocities these savages claim the Quran encourages them to do. I always wondered why both Muslim jihadists and non-Muslims quickly jumped into any discussion to blame the Quran and Islam. Sometimes, people even accuse the Muslim God of the atrocities committed by radical Muslims. My question is: have they ever bothered to read the Quran?

HERE IS WHY!

Every single act of terror is committed by those who call themselves the followers of Islam and Hadith. Others call them Islamists and Jihadists, but they are nothing more than cold-blooded murderers of innocent human beings. Their perverted beliefs, ideology and actions are entirely un-Islamic and are ultimately acts of evil. I will prove these facts in the following pages of this book. The un-Islamic beliefs and hateful ideologies they follow can be summed up in one word, and that is flagitious. They believe in the ideology of evil worshipers; this is what they do, and in most cases, they don’t even know it.

They use their perverted ideology to commit the worst forms of crimes against humanity by attacking peaceful and innocent people. There is no question about that, and we must confront the reality of these terrorists and their sponsors. Sadly, in most cases, there is direct involvement of governments or specific hateful organizations, or both, from which these savages receive financial and training support. We must acknowledge this reality and then confront them at once. To confront and defeat these ignorant and lost souls — meaning the entirety of terror organizations and their supporters — we must admit and face the reality, and acknowledge that in all truth, these Arab/ terrorists are what they are: terrorists, or Islamic terrorists and/or Jihadists. And finally, the first thing Muslims of the world need to do is to look inward to their own deficiencies as Muslims, face that reality and ultimately, heal their own sicknesses. One of these actions must be to first acknowledge the truth about their hatred toward Muslims and non-Muslims alike. And the second most important thing is education. Education is the key to resolving these dilemmas.

Most of the populations of the Islamic countries are uneducated and back- ward people. That lack of education extends to their own religious revelation. The great detour their educational system took, a divergence from the educational progress of the rest of the world is what we are experiencing today with those who have not been educated. The education system of Islamic nations is centuries old, stagnant and in dire need of upgrade.

Some might say the reason for terrorism is poverty, but I think this point of view is inaccurate. We must not fall in with these weak justifications. I know, and I declare that ignorance is the mother of all diseases, and the Islamic people are for the most part, affected by this disease. Once again, most of these people are ignorant of world affairs, ignorant about other civilizations and finally, ignorant about their own book, the Quran. Unfortunately, they mostly rely only on the Hadith, that collection of sayings and actions attributed to the Prophet, which can be proven to be unreliable and completely false. And above all, these Ahadith (plural for Hadith) are forgeries,
