An Insightful response to our article: Tony Blair, the War Criminal

In response to our recent Newsletter titled Tony Blair, the War Criminal, Sh. Yawar Baig responded with a very insightful email which we reproduce (with minor editing) for your benefit:

Blair is a sign of Allah to show what happens to those who are arrogant. The final ending of an Empire which boasted that sun never sets in it, is Tony Blair; otherwise known as the Poodle of Mr Bush. To be a Poodle is one thing. To be the Poodle of Mr Bush is the crowning glory of the disgrace that Allah heaped on the heads of those who thought the world belonged to them.

There's no need to argue with Blair. In the dock is Blair. Not Desmond Tutu or the Muslims. The questions that he has to answer are:

1. Why did you lie to the British public and the global community about WMD's?

2. Why did you support the illegal invasion of Iraq?

3. Why did you condemn British soldiers to die in a foreign land fighting an imaginary enemy?

4. Why did you support untold atrocities committed on the civilian population of Iraq using British tax payers’ money and then allowed the looting of Iraqi treasures, art, and oil?

5. Why did you and your allies allow the use of depleted uranium in bombs used in Iraq which have poisoned the lives of generations unborn?

6. Where is all the art and treasure that you and your brave soldiers looted?

7. How do you plan to compensate the families whose lives you destroyed, whose children you murdered, whose women you violated, after first invading their sovereign land?

Blair and his stupid supporters must be reminded that it is the Bush-Blair combine which invaded Iraq based on their self-concocted lies. Iraq didn't invade the UK or USA. That's a matter of fact. Not opinion.
Let him answer these questions first.

Secondly those who invited this war criminal must answer to their constituents about their insane action.
Truly the reputation of South African prestige as a nation which always stood for justice is at stake.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu's statement is a clear clarion call to all those who have any sense of justice...leadership and morality are indivisible.

These people arranging this conference don't seem to understand this basic principle. In which case they should invite the drug lords from South America to share the platform with Blair. That's more appropriate than asking Archbishop Tutu to do so.

Their previous letter:

Tony Blair, the War Criminal

A South African news agency carried an article today (30 Aug. 2012) titled: “Blair confronts Tutu, SA Muslims” in which Tony Blair has challenged SA Muslims protesting against his visit to this country to rather protest against the Muslims whom he says are doing most of the killing in Iraq and elsewhere.

The question that begs to be asked is how did Iraq become so destabilized that Iraqis are killing each other? Was it not the US and UK armies under the blatantly false pretext of weapons of mass destruction that invaded and destroyed their former crony Sadam Hussain’s country when he had outlived his usefulness? Who was it that destabilized Iraq and left behind a ruined country without proper leadership or governance?

It is always the portfolio of the cowardly to shirk responsibility for their actions and shift the blame on others. One wonders whether it is the lack or the complete absence of humanity that allows war criminals to contentedly continue with their lives, after leaving millions of lives shattered in their wake.

Mr. Desmond Tutu has to be commended on his moral stance for refusing to share a platform with Blair. Tutu pulled out of the Discovery Invest leadership conference saying Blair’s call to support the US invasion of Iraq “on the basis of unproven allegations of the existence of weapons of mass destruction was morally indefensible”.

The presence and the immunity that Tony Blair enjoys on South African soil is an affront to justice, equity and morality. In the world that we live in, it seems only the conquered are trialled and sentenced. However, there is another court, the court of Allah, that awaits the oppressors and in that court no political manoeuvring will be of any avail, Insha’Allah.

We request the Muslim community to make dua for the suffering Ummah around the globe.

Why don't we have any Jamiat al-Ulama of UK? Sending press letters on controversial, political and fiqhi issues?

Muslims in the uk just want to fit in. Blair did illegal things according to their laws...which they want to spread. The message is foolow our way of doing things it allows you to do whatever you want. You are not free but we call it freedom...slavery is freedom if we say so. No one cares Tony Blair is given a easy ride...he should be in jail along with Bush and everyone close to them.
