Why Neither the US nor Israel Should Attack Iran?
Firstly, I would like to declare that I am a Muslim with no affiliation to any political or religious institution or party. I fully believe in secularism, democracy, and the Human Rights. I see no place for theocracy in modern societies. I hope that Iranian regime can evolve to realize that all religions including Islam can best be practiced and protected if kept away from power struggle and politics. Power-politics is always going to be very selfish and opportunistic enterprise, and therefore it should not be allowed to infect the religion. Indeed, Iran needs a modern system of governance, which is based on secularism, full democracy and the Human Rights. However, this is something that Iranian people should decide, and the so-called regime change is nothing but an indication for poverty of knowledge.
I have also no doubt the holocaust took place, and like so many Iranians I highly regard the holocaust victims and consider holocaust as a shame on humanity. I am equally convinced that Israel’s overall behavior has never been consistent with all that holocaust victims have come to symbolize. Holocaust is an icon of humanity opposed to tyranny, repression, and injustice. Conversely, in sharp contrast to the dignity and humanity of holocaust victims, Israel has been misusing holocaust to justify the inhumanity and repression that state of Israel has inflicted on Palestinians. I have no doubt that if holocaust victims, somehow with God’s miracle, return to life they will not support Israel’s injustice to Palestinians.
There are multiple reasons that both the USA and Israel should absolutely refrain from attacking Iran and her nuclear facilities. Firstly, such a move will be total break with the international norms and values and clear violation of international laws and principles set by the UN. Therefore, no civilized society can either endorse or participate in such an act of aggression against a sovereign member of the UN such as Iran. Based on the same principle attacking and invading Iraq by the US-Britain led forces was wrong and illegal. Again based on the same international law attacking Israel or any other state is illegal and wrong. If Israel leaves the occupied Palestinian and Arab lands and returns to pre-1967 borders Palestinians will have no reason to continue their resistance to the Israeli occupation.
It is astonishing that the entire West can decide to remain blind to the recent Israeli bombing of an alleged nuclear site in Syria. Unfortunately, Israel since its foundation and the US since Bush administration took office in 2001 deliberately have decided to ignore and violate as many international laws and principles as possible. Israel with ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from their homeland, continuous occupation of Palestinian lands, settlement and wall-building and annexations, and the hardship that has imposed on Palestinian civilians has isolated herself as a wonderful pirate state with no respect to any community whether international or otherwise. The reason for their misplaced bravery is the permanent and unchecked US-EU support and tacit endorsement of Israeli aggression under the well-know pretext called the “Israeli security concerns.”(continued)

Continued:

In sharp contrast to Clinton administration, Bush administration had no interest in making any serious contribution to Arab-Israeli conflict. All that we have seen so far has been mainly tailored for the media consumption. The US has not even seriously tried to restrain Israel because the US administration had already decided to deal with its enemies and opponents outside both the US and international law. As the result, the “Guantanama Bay” and “Abu Ghraib” will remain to be the bleeding scares in the history books. The US-Britain and their so-called allies by unlawful invasion of Iraq simply for oil and also for their common interests with that of Israel have created the endless cycles of death and destruction and a massive power-vacuum that has been filled in by the forces totally hostile to the West. Now as if the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not enough the US-Britain and Israel are planning to open a new front by attacking Iran!

One should realize that the Iranian aspirations to master peaceful nuclear technology as well as rocket-space technology originated in the former regime. The Late Shah of Iran had actually initiated the nuclear power plant project and encouraged academic research and study in nuclear physics and also rocket-space sciences. These were among the late Shah’s important and rightful initiatives to develop science and technology in Iran. The late Shah persuaded and invited many Iranian scientists who were living and working abroad to return to Iran. Therefore, mastering peaceful nuclear and rocket-building technology are among Iran’s old science and technology projects, which are also largely supported by Iranian people. Unfortunately, these matters are not deliberately acknowledged in the media. The reason for this kind of self-imposed media-dementia is the well-calculated disinformation to portray the current Iranian regime as the main warmonger state and an obvious threat to the Western and Israeli national interests. These claims are totally false.

Iran has repeatedly denied the allegations made by the US-Britain and Israel that the regime is secretly trying to make nuclear bombs. Iran has also repeatedly declared that her nuclear technology if entirely peaceful. Iran has even invited others to join her technological and industrial efforts. The IAEA, the UN Atomic agency, has long been inspecting Iranian facilities and they have formally concluded that there is no evidence that Iran is in the path to make bombs. Therefore, one should ask, why all these fuss over the nuclear issue? The focus is on the enrichment, which is Iran’s legal right. The irrationality of the Western argument is in the fact that all the countries with nuclear bombs including Israel are saying because they neither like nor trust Iran therefore Iran cannot be allowed to use her legal right to enrich uranium!

They are concerned that perhaps in future Iran may decide to make bombs. This is no argument. The fact of the matter is that the countries that are sitting at stock piles of nuclear warheads want nothing less than total monopoly on nuclear technology. In exchange Iran has offered formal Western participation in the enrichment and the inspecting regime that could permanently monitor Iranian nuclear activities. But the west and Israel insist on stopping Iran’s legal rights to enrich. This irrational and arrogant persistence by the West and Israel can be only understood in the context of their regional policies, which will eventually come down to their and Israel’s interests and of course oil.

Continued:

However, Mr. Ahmadinejad’s poor diplomatic communication skills and his inability to realize the damage done by his rhetorical speech items has provided ammunition for the enemies of Iran. Foremost, largely Jewish-controlled western media have seized on the opportunity to capitalize and exaggerate on the personal remarks made by Mr. Ahmadinejad. Even though afterwards Mr. Amadinejad and Iranian officials reinterpreted and corrected the earlier remarks and the misunderstandings that had followed, certain interest groups have kept the controversy alive. However, not all Mr. Ahmadinejad’s remarks can be called irrational. For example, he has criticized the ban on questioning matters related to holocaust. It is totally irrational to criminalize the investigative questioning of a historical event i.e. holocaust or otherwise. This is simply wrong by any logic.

It is true that majority of Iranian population are very upset with the recent events especially by the US-Israeli conduct in the region. But, most Iranians neither deny holocaust nor dislike the Jewish communities. Albeit Israeli regime in Iran is regarded as the main Zionist entity and therefore it is defined differently from what is known as “Jews” and “Jewish religion”. Similarly, while most Iranians like America and American people they are very critical of the US administrations’ permanent green light signals offered to state of Israel.

Iran is a very resourceful and large enough country. The former Iraqi regime with direct encouragement and support of the West fought a proxy war with Iran that lasted for eight long years. During this war the US, Britain, France, Germany, and some others provided Iraq with all sort of credits and arms whereas Iran under embargo was forced to buy American and Western supplies at black market prices, which were at least 8-10 folds above the normal market price. Indeed, Iran-Iraq war made many people in the West rich. Despite all the odds, Iran repelled the Iraqi invasion but with very high human and financial costs. Now, the US-Britain and Israel are talking about imposing a direct war on Iran! And the reason is that Iran will not give up her rightful legal rights. So what about the rule of law that we preach in democracies? Where is it? I wonder how the history books are going to treat this issue. The parallel is very obvious. Similarly, despite the rhetorical statements made by the western leaders that they support democracy, they changed heart immediately after Hamas was elected to office in Palestine. Therefore, Mr. Ahmadinejad is not the only rhetorical speaker, the entire western leaders are much worse than Mr. Ahmadinejad.

All military and intelligence analysts will confirm that with the exception of Turkey Iran’s defense and counterattack capacity is much stronger that any other in the Middle East. Additionally, Iran has strong support bases in the region especially in Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine. Iran has repeatedly said that she will harshly deal with any country that dares to attack Iran. The Us and Israel should have no doubts that Iran will do exactly that because despite the internal problems that country has been facing due to ineffective economic planning and the deficiencies due to undemocratic system, which are common place in the entire region, Iran is no banana republic. The most interruptive shocking effect of a US-Israeli raid will the rising price of oil to an absolute intolerant level for the entire world.

Continued:

The raids will start persistent and continuous military engagements and skirmishes, i.e. if not a full-blown war, which can spread into the entire Middle East. Undoubtedly, the region is incapable to tolerate another front, which similar to a black hole will suck in everything and everyone. For example, the Shia populations in Iraq and Lebanon, no matter how reluctant their respective governments may be, will not sit idle while the US-Israel raid or attack Iran. The civilian and military tolls will be unacceptable to all sides of the conflict with potentially catastrophic consequences for the entire region.

I urge the sensible people in the US, Britain, EU, and Israel to pressure their respective governments to refrain from attacking Iran because this will be a grave mistake foremost for the Western and Israeli interests.

There is no military solution for the nuclear issue in Iran. The West and Iran must negotiate and agree on a permanent, practical and viable inspection-monitoring regime that can meet the concerns of all parties. Instead of attacking Iran and introducing sanctions that will surely hurt ordinary Iranian people it is better to encourage Iran to move towards real democracy.

The incentives offered by the West to Iran should not be for the purpose of forcing Iran to abandon her legal right to enrichment because Iranian government(s) has no right to compromise Iran’s national interests. Conversely, the incentives should be regarded as conditional package of aid and assistance to modernize the country. In exchange Iran should be required to reciprocate by improving the overall Human Rights situation throughout the country and taking serious steps towards genuine democracy.

Finally, the entire world should know that Iran has never had and will never have any plans to attack Israel at any time because Iranian leadership is fully aware that this will be totally self-destructive to the regime, Iranian people, and the country as a whole. The exception will be if Iran is attacked by the US or Israel. The entire region needs peace and progress, and all the diplomatic efforts that can contribute towards such goals. It is already enough with wars and bloodshed.

Iran is violating its treaty by not allowing UN inspectors in. There is no excuse for this. The United States of Anerica does not control Israel but if Iran strikes at the USA, as the result for an Israeli strike against Iran, it can expect to be de-clawed.

...with help from the west. Outcry over and actions against Iran for having nuclear technology is an attempt to disguise the real designs on the ME. The problem is that Russia and China don't buy it for a second and Europe partly doesn't buy it, but is afraid to stand up against.

I read all your spam, I can't get over your commenting on the Pals. Bravery? Are you Kidding? Intentionally targeting Women and Children in Isreal. This is Bravery to you? Is it not OK for Muslims to Lie to Karfurs? How can I believe a single word you have written? All These Muslim Terrorists are Cowards of the worst kind. Why Don't have outrage for those that use your so called religion for Hate and Murder? I always hear that Muslims are Peaceful but Never hear any outcry Against these Cowardly Thugs.

Thank you for reading my comment. Not true! The IAEA inspection team has always had access the Iran’s nuclear sites. However on insistence of the US-Britain the IAEA referred Iran to the UN Security Council (UNSC), and since then they have been imposing sanctions on Iran. How do you then expect Iran to react? The referral to the UNSC was not necessary because Iran has long been cooperating with the IAEA.

It has been just a few months ago that the US intelligence experts/community, and much earlier the IAEA, announced that there had never been any indication that Iran plans to build nuke. Nevertheless, as I tried to point out, the West doesn’t want Iran to practice its enrichment rights i.e. as a member of the IAEA!

The whole point of being a member of the IAEA, i.e. for Iran and other countries, is to have full and independent ability to build and use peaceful nuclear technology. Otherwise, Iran similar to India and Pakistan, and Israel could easily decide to stay outside the IAEA and make nuke.

The IAEA can still work on designing a permanent inspection regime in Iran and control all of Iran’s nuclear activities. All the experts would agree that this is possible. So the point is why not?

They've had access, but not full access. They have not been allowed in the most critical areas. By the way, world government won't work.

You clam to be a Muslim but know nothing of Islam.
Islam is a socialist political ideology.
Secularism is a misguided joke, shell we separate all that is good from the government and state so our leaders can freely act as vultures?

Secularism was created because Christians were tricked into believing in space aliens. Those that build their understanding in the sand should have no part in governance.

Then you start on Iran, saying it needs a modern system of government when infact it has the most modern democratic system in the world.

It is easy to make allegations of a hidden program because by it’s very nature it’s hidden but It is impossible to prove you don’t have a hidden program.
The corrupt and self serving continue to point fingers and each time Iran comes up clean, there has to come a point when America’s game of crying wolf is up and the gullible awaken.

First, this is not true even if in your mind it is. But if it were true why then is Iran refusing to let the inspectors in now? An innocent man, accused unjustly, would want the facts to see the light of day. It is the guilty man who seeks to keep them hidden.

The point of the article was neither Islam nor secularism. Secualism, which is total division of religion and politics, is not what you think. Secularism is in Koran.

Read:
2:256 (“There shall be no compulsion in religion….”).
88:21-2 (“Therefore give warning. Your duty is only to give warning: you are not their keeper.”).

And so many other verses. Send me your email so I help you with all the verses on secularism in Holy Koran.

Therefore, you as a Muslim who knows Islam well, please pay more attention to the main subject of the article, wherein I am totally against any probable military actions against Iran. I hope you do not disagree with me on this. Thank you.

I support Iran 100% many of the things you say are against Iran and your intent seems dubious.

I would prefer to talk here thanks maybe others might gain insight.

You seem have got your understanding all mixed up that’s ok, if all Muslim brothers understood the context of Mohammad’s wisdoms we would not face the problems we do today.

Not shore what context you bring forth this text:
2:256 (“There shall be no compulsion in religion….”).
I guess your trying to say that no-one should be forced to live under Islamic Law.
Your next text confirms that this is a wrong interpretation.
Islamic laws are all based on natural laws and systems(course and effect). So if Islamic law is natural law then it’s important that society be constantly reminder to work within those laws or reap the consequences of social and environmental degradation.

Koran The Overwhelming Calamity.
[88.19] And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed,
[88.20] And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?
[88.21] Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder.
[88.22] You are not a watcher over them;
[88.23] But whoever turns back and disbelieves,
[88.24] Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement.

This is simply explaining that the laws of nature can’t be ruled over by man and it is your job to remind society of that.

If society does not work within these natural laws the consequence is that the natural system with punish society, with things like drought
88.6 They shall have no food but of thorns.

Spam or otherwise I am glad you read my article. I think it was a fair and balanced article on all accounts. However, I know you think otherwise. But, this doesn’t matter because we are all meant to be different.

The language of hatred is always hatred. That is NOT my language. I am sorry if you do NOT see this in what I wrote. I stand for peace, welfare, and coexistence of all cultures, religions, and nations including Israel, Palestine, and Iran.

A terrorist can come from all nations and religions. It is no wonder that we see Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and other affiliations of terrorism. It is all to do with extreme conditions that both rationality and humanity are forced to fail.

Under very extreme and totally abnormal conditions, especially due to a bicultural process known as mental regression, all humans are capable to commit terrorist acts. However, I don't justify terrorism.

I have never denied the existence of Muslim terrorists. I hope you also admit that there are Jewish and other non-Muslim terrorists as well. It is always good to be fair. You won’t do any good to your kind by simply calling all that are different from you as terrorists!

You have misread my article. I have never said that terrorists are brave!? How is that when Israel proudly goes to air to announce that she is ready to hit Iran you see it as bravery but when Iran simply in exchange to military threats says something similar you label it as terroristic? Isn’t this the very familiar unfair and uneven Israeli mentality in treating Palestinians?

All I say is that no one has the right to attack anyone. God doesn’t need to give such a right to anyone because He can act Himself if He wishes. God wants peace and not mutual destruction. I hope we don’t disagree here.

The language of hatred is always hatred. That is NOT my language. I am sorry if you do NOT see this in what I wrote. I stand for peace, welfare, and coexistence of all cultures, religions, and nations including Israel, Palestine, and Iran.
A terrorist can come from all nations and religions. It is no wonder that we see Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and other affiliations of terrorism. It is all to do with extreme conditions that both rationality and humanity are forced to fail.
Under very extreme and totally abnormal conditions, especially due to a bicultural process known as mental regression, all humans are capable to commit terrorist acts. However, I don't justify terrorism.
I have never denied the existence of Muslim terrorists. I hope you also admit that there are Jewish and other non-Muslim terrorists as well. It is always good to be fair. You won’t do any good to your kind by simply calling all that are different from you as terrorists!
You have misread my article. I have never said that terrorists are brave!? How is that when Israel proudly goes to air to announce that she is ready to hit Iran you see it as bravery but when Iran simply in exchange to military threats says something similar you label it as terroristic? Isn’t this the very familiar unfair and uneven Israeli mentality in treating Palestinians?
All I say is that no one has the right to attack anyone. God doesn’t need to give such a right to anyone because He can act Himself if He wishes. God wants peace and not mutual destruction. I hope we don’t disagree here.
I am disappointed that you did not respond to my post and that we could not continue our discussion on Islam, politics and secularism.
