Fall Of US Toady Regimes - One View From Iran

Kayhan, Islamic Republic of Iran

Middle East Revolutions Herald America's Demise

Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Western civilization - or to be more accurate - non-Muslim civilization? According to this article by columnist Hussein Shariatmadari of Iran's state-run Kayhan newspaper, ancient prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad are now coming true - and there is little or nothing that Washington can do to avert the end.

In this photographic metaphor for the dissolution of Egypt's regime, a man smashes a rock into smaller pieces to throw at riot police, during a clash in Cairo, Jan. 26.

In the early days of Islam, a mighty army mobilized and headed toward the city of Medina. These "united" enemies had set aside their differences and were gearing up to deal with Islam. The Holy Prophet (SAWA) got together a small group of fighters to defend the city. One of his companions, Salam Farsi, suggested they dig ditches around the city for defense.

[Editor's Note: SAWA stands for "Allah's Praise Be Upon Him and His Kinfolk."]

It was then that the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) made a prophecy, which was quickly dismissed and ridiculed by the dualists and unbelievers. While digging a ditch, his pick struck a stone and sparked. The Holy Prophet (SAWA) smiled and said, "With this spark, I see Islam conquering Rome and Iran."

It was all-out war between an almighty army and a handful of believers who had nothing to defend their city with but ditches. Yet surprisingly, their Prophet (SAWA) still spoke of conquering the Persian and Roman Empires [Byzantium], the superpowers of the day.

A few years later, the people in Iran and Rome heard news of the prophecy. They felt it was in harmony with conscience and nature, and therefore backed the army of Islam when it entered their countries. With ease and speed, the army of Islam defeated the superpowers of the time because Islam conquered the hearts and minds of the Iranians and Romans - even after the Holy Prophet (SAWA) was no longer among his people.

Flash forward to August, 1981. Islamic Iran had just emerged from a successful revolution and now faced an all-out war. This time around it was a war of parties. The enemies of Islam who lined up against the Islamic Republic of Iran included the United States, Europe, Israel, and many Arab countries. The enemy occupied a significant portion of Iranian soil and many thought it would be difficult if not impossible to take it back, much less defeat the enemy. Indeed, this was thought to be an impossible dream!

But these were merely earthly facts. In those days, the late Imam Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Revolution, was quick and confident enough to send this important message to the world's Muslims - concurrent with the annual Hajj pilgrimage:

"Oh Muslims of the world and the oppressed, stand up and unite to defend Islam and your dignity. Be not afraid of the rhetoric of the world powers because, God Willing, this is the century that the oppressed will hammer the arrogant powers and right will conquer wrong. The world must realize that Iran has finally found its path and will continue to fight to cut off U.S. interests, this enemy of the oppressed nations of the world."

In yet another message the late Imam said, "I assure you that Islam will conquer all key fronts in the world. It will begin with the collapse of the Soviet Union and will complete its course by defeating the United States of America in a not distant future."

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Lebanese resistance group Hezbullah defeated the Western-backed invading army of Zionist regime in the 33-day war. The Palestinian resistance group Hamas likewise defeated the invading army of Israel in the 22-day war on Gaza. Now, the people of Yemen have begun an uprising, followed by similar popular movements in Jordan, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. All while Islamist political parties have won elections in Iraq and Turkey. While Imam Khomeini is no longer among us, his divine prophecy has turned out to be true.

Indeed, this is the century of defeat for the arrogant powers. And why not? Islam is a belief derived from faith in God Almighty, who fights oppression and seeks justice. Islam is in alliance with nature, wisdom and the knowledge of humanity. Islam doesn’t see death as the end. Islam sees life after death far greater than life on earth.

A belief like this has no geographic boundaries, and since it's based within the hearts of Muslims, it needs no visa to pass through borders to reach the other side of the world. In other words, wherever there is a Muslim or a Muslims area, Islamic movements naturally emerge and give rise to events similar to the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Events unfolding in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria and Yemen are a testament to this.

Take a look at the mottos people are chanting in these nations: "Death to the U.S.," "Death to Israel," "Islam Is My Religion," "We Don’t Want an American Puppet Regime," and "We Are Not Afraid of Death." Aren’t these slogans familiar? Aren’t these the slogans that the Iranian people chanted during the Islamic Revolution back in the late 1970s?

Last Wednesday, The Independent wrote that, "The events in Tunisia are fast spreading across the Middle East. The region is now ready for a revolution and uprising against the pro-U.S. dictators." Robert Fisk, a prominent journalist and Middle East commentator, further wrote in The Independent, "We are witnessing the formation of a new Middle East which is in no way similar to the 'New Middle East' envisioned by the U.S. The U.S. will not like this."

The Christian Science Monitor also wrote of the ongoing events in Egypt, saying that the "revolution in Tunisia is what the people in Egypt want. Soon it will spread across the Middle East with Egypt as its first destination."

Advisor to [Israel Prime Minister] Netanyahu, Silvan Shalum, expressed his concerns about these events and said, "Islamic countries similar to the one in Iran are being formed around Israel's borders."

A few years ago, The Washington Post wrote, "A new Middle East is being formed. But contrary to Bush’s belief, this new Middle East has Iran at its core."
