Defending Ngeh's Tweet on provocative film


KTEMOC KONSIDERS


The Malaysian Insider - Ngeh retracts tweet, apologises to Muslims

What was his tweet that he retracted?

“Khairy wants muslim protest against Sam Bacile. For Islam or for his political gains? Are muslims wasting to much time and energy on this?”

I agree with Ngeh that Muslims have been/are wasting to much time and energy on an issue (deliberately) provoked by one single person. Instead, they should look at the 'agenda' behind the provocation.

Apparently, 55-year old Sam Bacile's real name is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, where he could well be an American Coptic Christian though he confessed to be Jewish and an Israeli. But Israeli officers asserted they have no record of any Israeli by that name (which name, Bacile or Nakoula?).

But far more interestingly, the person behind the scene involving Sam Bacile (or Nakoula Basseley Nakoula) and his film insulting Islam has been a pastor from the Dove World Outreach Center, a bloke by the name of Terry Jones.



Jones is notorious for provoking the Muslim world two years ago by his boast to burn 200 copies of the Quran. However, US State and Defence authorities successfully persuaded him against that as his action could imperil American troops in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

Nonetheless, one year later (in 2011) he did burn one copy of the Quran.

On the recent Bacile's provocative film, he ignored pleas from US authorities (again) not to upload the film on his church website. US media columnists have also appealed to church authorities to stop him to avoid violence in the Middle East but he gave everyone two fingers. Some US church leaders stated what he has done has been a travesty and detestable.

As for the suspected 'agenda' behind the film, my agreement with Ngeh also pertains to my observations and belief that there would usually be a Zionist element behind such provocations against Muslims in general and Arabs (Palestinians) in particular. There is a very strong nexus between Ultra Zionists (both American and Israeli Zionists) and the US Christian Right, hence Jones' deliberate provocations could be related to right-wing Zionists' aim to demonize the easily provoked Arab-Muslims and/or to win back lost European sympathies and support for them - sympathies and support lost as a result of their arrogant political intransigence and feral brutalities against the Palestinians.

Recently, President Obama has made an unprecedented decision (for a US President) in refusing to see Benjamin Netanyahu. Many Israeli leaders realized that Netanyahu has crossed the line in his usual 'dictates' to Obama, and took to criticizing him (Netanyahu) for his faux pas, hoping to steer him back on the proper polite path to winning back the US presidential support for an already isolated Israel.

Israeli PMs, particularly an ultra like Netanyahu, believe they alone in the world have the politically teflonised backings from the US Christian Right and American Zionists to lecture, berate and scold US President on the correct political policies for the Middle-East. Usually they have been correct but Netanyahu's increasingly arrogant and strident talk-down to the US President have gotten out of hand, to an extent the US President, the leader of the most powerful nation in the world, would have suffered irreparable humiliation if he continues (like his predecessors) to quietly accept the Israeli dressing down. Perhaps the Arabs must be brought into the picture once again to help divert attention from this.

If we recall some years back, when the Danish rightwing Jyllen-Posten published the Prophet Mohamad cartoons, it set the European world topsy turvy by the predictably violent reaction from Muslims and Arabs.




When European authorities and media were asked on the appropriateness of Jyllen-Posten publishing such offensive caricatures of a personality beloved by Muslims, the usual hypocritical mob would chant out blindly their mantra of ‘freedom of speech and expression’, while pretending not to remember how they persecuted Prince Harry for wearing a mere swastika armband to a fancy dress ball, or a Holocaust denier like David Irving for writing a book that says Jews killed by the Nazis did not number 6 millions and were considerably less.


Condemned for something associated with a fancy dress ball? For crying out loud!

But the Zionist-galvanized ruckus evoked from an innocuous incident by an unsuspecting youth was so great that it not only forced the young royalty intoapologising but panicked his father, the future King of England into issuing abject apologies and explanations of how silly his son had been, with British ministers wading in, all stumbling forward to prostrate themselves before the Gods of their guilt.

His father even ordered little Harry to visit the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz to learn and atone.

I have seen 'Dracula', 'Stalin', 'Tojo' and even a 'George Bush' at fancy dress balls, all winning at least a laugh or two. Shouldn’t those wearers of the costumes be made to apologize to respectively Romania, Russia, Japan and the USA too?

Lord Janner, a senior figure in Britain's Jewish community, said "What Harry did was both stupid and evil. The time has come for him to make a public apology."

Evil?

Hey! Freedom of expression? What happened to that supposedly cherished Western institution then?

Oh BTW, David Irving was jailed for a number of years by an Australian Court for challenging the sacrosanct figure of 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Incidentally, more than 6 million gypsies and various physically handicapped non-Jewish Europeans were similarly murdered by the Nazis, and I read in a magazine that Zionists went to enormous extent to kept this fact unpublicized so as to focus Europeans’ guilt over the Holocaust solely on Jewish victims.

Western freedom of expression? Not when the Jews veto-ed those expressions.

In some ways, Dr Mahathir has been right when he postulated that Jews rule the world, or more precisely the western World (particularly USA, Canada, Western Europe and Australia). My disagreement with Dr Mahathir on his argument is that he has indulgently and unfairly generalized in his accusations against Jews. I will write more on this in my next post.

Could there be a higher strategy in TheJyllen-Posten publication to demonize the Arabs through the expected violent reactions of Arab and Muslims, bearing in mind that the cartoons had appeared several months before the Jyllen-Posten publication in a Norwegian rightwing Christian Magazine but which brought no or little reaction from Muslim?

In other words, the Arab-Muslim reactions were the desired outcome, not the bullshit freedom of expression. Hence it's believed the Jyllen-Posten repeated the publishing of the cartoons in order to elicit the desired Arab-Muslim violent protests.

On the surface the culprit seems to be Fleming Rose, the cultural editor of theJyllen-Posten which started the deliberate insult of Prophet Muhammad. That so-called paragon of 'freedom of expression', Fleming Rose, had earlier refused to publish a cartoon showing Israel's Ariel Sharon strangling a Palestinian baby.


Perhaps the cartoon alluded to Sharon's complicity in the Sabra-Shatila massacre where thousands of Palestinian women and children were massacred after Sharon let in his Phalangist allies [Lebanese Christians], or merely his day-to-day oppression of Palestinians. But unlike his readiness to publish the Prophet Muhammad cartoons at all cost, Rose suddenly lost that western value when it came to Ariel Sharon.

Palestinian victims at Sabra Shatila

Rose claimed that publishing that cartoon would be construed as insensitively racist, yet he didn’t hesitate in insulting Arabs by publishing the equally religious insensitive caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in various demeaning terrorist roles.

Now for the Christian Right - Zionist nexus.

At that time, Rose was known to be closely associated with neo-con Zionists. One of the neo-con Zionists that Rose was linked with was Daniel Pipes, who was notorious for his rabid anti-Muslim proclivity. Pipes had been noted to have said the only path to Middle East peace will come through a total Israeli military victory.

During his academic career as a professor in Harvard, Pipes had set up a website calledCampus Watch that encouraged university students to submit reports on university professors who criticized Israel, from which it then published a blacklist of such professors. Wasn’t that action akin to Hitler Youths being taught to dob on their parents, relatives, friends and neighbours? Sieg Heil to the Neo-Nazis.


More than 100 academics, outraged by Pipes’ McCarthyism demanded to be included on the list as well. Campus Watch had to backpedal from that sinister blacklisting and removed the list from their website. We can see from this what extent the Zionist Pipes' had been willing to do to intimidate and silence anyone against Israel.

Back to the issue, one cannot but help wonder to what extent Rose had been influenced by the neo-con Zionists in bringing about a repeat (of the Norwegian rightwing Christian magazine’s) publishing the Prophet Mohamad caricatures to achieve demonization of Arabs by baiting them into violent reactions.

Unfortunately the Arabs had repetitively fallen into the trap of showing predictable violence, in the way their enemies must have intended for them to do? Though the hurt to their belief has been enormous they need to keep an eye on the strategic manipulations of the more devious elements of the Zionists.


The outcome of those violent behaviours and actions proved to be humongously expensive for Palestinian Arabs as it disgusted and alienated the European powers so much so that they (the Europeans) stopped an annual grant of 900 million Euros to the Palestine authority and faltered in their political support of statehood for the Palestinians.

Thus, before Muslims rush off to in predictable violent protests against such provocations, whether the provocateurs have been Americans, French or Danes, do pause a moment and ask whether you too are being manipulated by the baiting of some rightwing or Zionist organizations or newspapers, into acting on their sinister plans of higher strategy?


I believe Ngeh’s advice was well founded and constructive, but alas, as I have written above, Muslims have a lamentable and predictable emotional reaction to such provocations, and his forced withdrawal of his tweet-ed advice would only be to the disadvantage of Muslims and particularly the cause of Palestinians.

But alas, Ngeh should know better that at this juncture in Malaysian politics, his advice would be exploited kau kau by UMNO to exploit and direct Muslim anger against him and DAP, even though his advice was sincere and sensible.
