America’s Racist And Anti-Muslim Policies Alienate The Islamic World
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
Barack Obama was elected the President because many Americans realized that the racist and anti-Muslim policies of Bush have done tremendous harm to the American interests all over the world. Even though Obama made tall claims that he would change these policies, he failed to do so and the policies formulated under Bush have made a comeback. Now, Obama is openly following the anti-Muslim and racist policies of Bush.

President George Bush undid the policies of President Bill Clinton and incited racism and hatred for the Muslims. He brought back the painful memories of the crusades. Barack Obama was elected the President because many Americans realized that the racist and anti-Muslim policies of Bush have done tremendous harm to the American interests all over the world. Even though Obama made tall claims that he would change these policies, he failed to do so and the policies formulated under Bush have made a comeback. Now, Obama is openly following the anti-Muslim and racist policies of Bush.
It may sound paradoxical that a black is following racist policies. However, we must understand that in the final analysis, anti-Muslim policies are racist policies because Islam is mainly the religion of the third world and non-white people. It is not Christianity against Islam because the non-white Christians of Africa and Latin America do not hate the Muslims. The hatred for the Muslims is primarily confined to the white Christians of North America and Europe. Therefore, instead of a Christianity-Islam rivalry, it is a contradiction between the whites and the non-whites.
The same can be said of the Zionists’ hatred for the Muslims; they associate themselves with the white Christians. In the final analysis, Zionism is also another form of racism. The attack on Libya can also be called a racist attack, where the white Europeans and Americans have attacked an African country. The so-called rebels are traitors and mercenaries. Therefore, they are also acting as agents of the whites.
Once Obama has started following Bush’s anti-Muslim policies, he is facing a very stiff resistance. He ordered the attack on Osama Bin Laden, completely violating the sovereignty of Pakistan. When America is miserably losing the war in Afghanistan, it has started blaming Pakistan. However, it is not just Pakistan which is seeing a very strong anti-American feeling among the majority of its population, many other Islamic countries also are; including the staunchest American ally Saudi Arabia, which is going through the same feelings. America and Israel are facing the worst isolation among the Islamic countries which form a major block in the third world. America’s threat to use veto against a Security Council resolution in support of a Palestinian state has alienated almost all of the Islamic countries. All of these countries are tilting towards China in America vis-à-vis China equation.
America is trying to counter the loss of influence in the Islamic world by trying to incite Hindu fundamentalism in India. America has indirectly tried to promote Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, as the next Prime Minister of India. However, Modi has become a symbol of anti-Muslim fanaticism in India. America has also tried to stir up anti-China hysteria in India. However, many Indians are very suspicious of America’s ulterior motives and see the American moves as pushing India to a war with China and the Islamic countries. Such a war can escalate into a third world war and make India the arena for such a war. Many Indians can see through the American designs and want to save India from such a catastrophic war. They believe that secularism and non-alignment are the best policies for India.
