a damaging obsession

Date: September 03, 2003 | 6 Rajab 1424 Hijriah
Subjects: antisemitism
While getting caught up at alt.muslim, I found an excellent article by Haroon Moghul about the obsession some Muslims have with blaming everything that's wrong with the Muslim world on Zionism, Israel, or Jews:

The Islamic faith is set apart from all other faiths not because it centers itself on God, but because it does so absolutely. We do not just worship God. We worship only Him. Tawhid, the Islamic idea of the unity of the Divine, is not just the formula: There is no deity but Allah. It is that, but also, that the Lord is incomparable in power, in attributes and in effect. No one, not Muslims, Christians or Jews, controls the world. God does. Now, more than ever, the leaders of Muslim communities must initiate a process of change. Our obsession with these sham politics is even more galling because of the strangeness of this addiction; we aren't Zionists, but we are, nonetheless, infatuated with them. Countless problems go unsolved because we have decided, whether consciously or not, that these issues are no longer within our capacity to address. Life is much simpler when it consists of anesthetized existence, punctuated now and then by angry shouts about ghosts in the shadows and nightmares in our dreams, preventing us from being what we do not have the courage to become.
