“Tarix shuni aniq ko‘rsatadiki, musulmonlarning qilichni ko‘tarib dunyoni bosib olib, zabt etilgan xalqlarni qilich zo‘ri bilan Islomni qabul qildirgani haqidagi afsona tarixchilar takrorlagan eng g‘aroyib darajada asossiz miflardan biridir.” —De Lacy O'Leary Qachonki g‘arb hukumatlari ommaviy qirg‘in qurollari (OQQ) va musulmonlarni bir nafasda tilga olsalar, g‘arb ommaviy axborot vositalari darhol o‘z xalqini epik miqyosdagi falokatli voqea yuz berishi haqida ogohlantirib, battar hayajonga tushib ketadi.

“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.” --De Lacy O'Leary Whenever western governments mention weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and Muslims in the same breath, the western media immediately breaks into a wild frenzy warning its people that a catastrophic event of epic proportions is about to unfold.

Qadimgi Yevropa afsonalari musulmonlarning islomni qilich kuchi bilan tarqatgani haqidagi hikoyalar qayta ishlanib, musulmonlarning juda xavfli, mas'uliyatsiz va inson hayotiga e'tiborsiz ekanligi taassurotini uyg'otish uchun ishlatilmoqda. Shu sababli musulmon mamlakatlarini ommaviy qirg'in qurollaridan xalos etish shiori G'arbning musulmon dunyosiga qarshi qaratilgan asosiy chaqiruvine aylangan.

Old European fables of Muslims spreading Islam by the sword are reinvented to convey the impression that Muslims are extremely dangerous, highly irresponsible and pay scant regard to human life. Hence the mantra of disarming Muslim countries of WMD has become the rallying cry of the West directed against the Muslim world.

Ba'zi hollarda bu dalillar G'arbning Suriya, Eron va ehtimol Pokistondagi davom etayotgan hokimiyatni almashtirish siyosatini oqlash uchun kengaytiriladi. Biroq o'tmishdagi islomiy hukmronlikni chuqur o'rganish G'arbdagi mashhur afsonaga zid keladi: go'yo musulmonlar qonxo'r xalqlar bo'lib, Islom nomidan butun insoniyatni yo'q qilishga intilayotganga o'xshaydi.

In some cases the arguments are extended to justify the West’ s ongoing policy of regime change in Syria, Iran and perhaps Pakistan. However, a close study of Islamic rule in the past contradicts the popular western myth that Muslims are bloodthirsty people anxious to wipe out the rest of mankind in the name of Islam.

Xuddi shunday, bu gapni G'arb haqida aytib bo'lmaydi. G'arb o'zining dunyoviy ta'limoti va materialistik dunyoqarashi bilan qurollangan holda, resurslarni nazorat qilish va boylikni maksimal darajaga yetkazish maqsadida keng aholi qatlamlarini ekspluatatsiya qildi, talon-taroj qildi va mustamlakaga aylantirdi.

The same however, cannot be said about the West. The West armed with its secular doctrine and materialistic world-view proceeded to exploit, plunder and colonise vast populations in order to control resources and maximise wealth.

Ushbu yangi boyliklarni qo‘lga kiritish yo‘lida G‘arb Inka, Amerika hindulari, Aztek va Aborigen kabi ko‘plab sivilizatsiyalarni yo‘q qildi. Mustamlakachilikdan omon qolganlar majburan nasroniylikka o‘tkazildi, o‘z merosidan mahrum qilindi va G‘arb kompaniyalariga qullikka sotildi. Afrika, Hindiston, Osiyo, Yaqin Sharq va boshqa joylarning mahalliy xalqlari uchun erkinlik va’dalari tezda barbod bo‘ldi va ularning o‘rnini mustamlaka hukmronligi egalladi. Bunday dahshatlar uchun afsuslanish o‘rniga G‘arb faqat o‘z yutuqlaridan maqtanib kulib turdi.

In pursuit of these newfound riches the West succeeded in destroying numerous civilisations such as the Incas, American Indians, Aztecs, and Aborigines. Those who survived colonisation were forcibly converted to Christianity, stripped of their heritage and sold into bondage to western companies. For the indigenous people of Africa, India, Asia, Middle East and others, the promises of freedom quickly evaporated and were replaced by colonial rule. Rather than show remorse towards such atrocities the West could only gloat at its achievements.

Qurollar, masalan to'plar, to'pponchalar, bug' dvigatellari, pulemyotlar, samolyotlar, xantal gazi va boshqalar faqat mustamlakalarni egallash va ularning xalqini ekspluatatsiya qilishni tezlashtirdi. Mahalliy aholining mustamlakachi hukmdorlariga ko'rsatgan qarshiligi zo'ravonlik bilan bostirilar edi, ko'pincha butun jamoalarning yo'q qilinishiga olib kelardi. G'arb mahalliy aholini yo'q qilmagan paytlarda, ular o'zlarining qimmatli mustamlakalarini ushlab qolish uchun bir-birlarini qirg'in qilish bilan band edilar. Birinchi va Ikkinchi jahon urushlari G'arb qadriyatlarining vayronkor tabiatiga yorqin misollardir.

Technologies such as cannons, pistols, steam engines, machine guns, aeroplanes, mustard gas etc only hastened the acquisition of colonies and the exploitation of its people. Resistance offered by the natives towards their colonial masters was met by brute force – often resulting in the destruction of entire communities. When the West was not destroying the natives they were too busy annihilating each other in a desperate bid to cling on to their precious colonies. World Wars I and II are prime examples of the destructive nature of western values.

Bu Eski Dunyo tasviri bo‘lib, unda Angliya, Fransiya va Germaniya kabi davlatlar millionlab begunoh insonlarning o‘limi va halokati evaziga imperiyalar qurgan va ulkan boylik to‘plagan. Yangi Dunyo (G‘arbni yetakchilikda olib borayotgan Amerika) bugun bundan farq qiladimi?

This is a description of the Old World where countries like England, France, and Germany built empires and accumulated immense wealth on the death and destruction of millions of innocent people. Is the New World (America leading the West) any different today?

Yangi Dunyo va uning Afg‘oniston hamda Iroq bilan munosabatlariga misol sifatida qarang. Ozodlik bosqinchilikka aylandi; demokratiya o‘rnini mustamlakachilik hukmronligi egalladi; vayronagarchilik “aniq nishonga olingan zarbalar” deb ataldi, begunoh musulmonlarning qirg‘ini esa “tasodifiy zarar” deb ta’riflanmoqda. Shu bilan birga, Amerika va Britaniya neft kompaniyalari Iroqning neft quduqlarini o‘zlashtirish uchun navbatga turishgan, Kaspiy dengizining energiya zaxiralarini esa Afg‘oniston orqali Yevropaga tashish rejalashtirilmoqda.

Take the example of the New World and its relationship with Afghanistan and Iraq. Liberation has become occupation; democracy has given way to colonial rule, devastation is termed as precision bombing and the slaughter of innocent Muslims is described as collateral damage. Meanwhile, American and British oil companies are queuing up to exploit the oil wells of Iraq and transport the energy reserves of the Caspian Sea to Europe via Afghanistan.

Islom xalifaligi o‘tmishda insoniyatga hech qachon bunday vahshiylik bilan munosabatda bo‘lmagan. Xalifalik Islomni kuch bilan yoymagan va sivilizatsiyalarni vayron qilmagan. Islom Misrga yoyilganda, ko‘plab kopt xristianlar Islomni qabul qilmadilar va bugungi kunda ularning soni taxminan 7 million kishini tashkil etadi.

The Islamic Caliphate in the past never treated mankind in such a barbaric fashion. Neither did the Caliphate spread Islam by force nor destroy civilizations. When Islam spread to Egypt, many Coptic Christians did not embrace Islam and today they still number approximately 7 million.

Xuddi shunday, Hindiston islomga ochilganida, aholi islomni qabul qilishga majburlanmagan. Bugungi kunda Hindistonda 750 milliondan ortiq hindular yashaydi.

Likewise, when India was opened up to Islam the inhabitants were not coerced into accepting Islam. India today has a population of more than 750 million Hindus.

Buni Ispaniya inkvizitsiyasi sudlarida Evropa Uyg'onish davrida musulmonlar va yahudiylarning qirg'in qilinishi bilan solishtiring. Bu ispaniyacha holokostdan omon qolgan yahudiylar Usmonli xalifaligi tomonidan iliq kutib olindi. Islom Ispaniyasida ular gullab-yashnadi va Islom jamiyatining muhim a'zolari bo'lib qoldi.

Compare this to extermination of Muslim and Jews in the courts of the Spanish Inquisitors during the much-coveted European renaissance. Those Jews that survived this Spanish holocaust were warmly welcomed by the Ottoman Caliphate. In Islamic Spain they flourished and became important members of the Islamic society.

Bugungi kunda dunyo G‘arb qadriyatlarining buzg‘unchi tabiatidan ommaviy qirg‘in qurollaridan ko‘ra ko‘proq xavf sezmoqda. Avvallari bu qadriyatlar millatlarga yo‘nalishi bilan yo bevosita mustamlakachilik hukmronligi orqali, yoki G‘arbga sodiq zolim rejimlar orqali majburan singdirilgan edi.

Today the world has more to fear from the destructive nature of western values than WMD. In the past these values were enforced upon nations either through direct colonial rule or through tyrannical regimes loyal to the West.

Hozirgi kunda insoniyat duch kelayotgan eng katta xavf — G‘arbning o‘z qadriyatlarini dunyoning qolgan qismiga ommaviy qirg‘in qurollari orqali doimiy ravishda majburlash tahdididir.

Presently, the greatest danger-facing mankind is the constant threat of the West imposing its values on the rest of the world through WMD.
