2001 Literary Nobel Prize
has chilling view of Islam

If religion offers paradise, Naipaul says, then the flock tends to be blindly fanatic. He also says that oil money of the 70s gave the illusion that power had come to the Islamic religion.

Both observations melted, clearly explain the roots of the first "jihad war" of this Century. The world is now overwhelmed by the fear of Global Islamic terrorism.

To get a better understanding of Islam, or to grasp the real "weltanschaung" of the geopolitical importance of the arab-Islamic world (more than a Billion people spread over all Continents), you have to read V.S. Naipaul, who is the 2001 Nobel Prize of Literature.
Even if news of his nomination by the Nobel Prize Swedish Academy was shadowed by the bangs, rages and fury unleashed by the terrorist attack against USA on 9-11, Naipaul's insight of contemporary Islam helps to understand the current crisis.

Naipaul was born in Trinidad-Tobago in the Caribbean. Of Hindu origin, he belongs to that brilliant elite of Anglo-hindu intellectuals started by Rabrindanath Tagore in the 19th century, epitomized by Rudyard Kipling, with Modern expressions in contemporary Arts, letters and global ideas in personalities such as Ben Kingsley, Ravi Bandra, Salman Rushdie and others who are a simbiosis ot their ancestral Vedanta Hindu culture and British sofistication - and snobbery.

Living together under Brtish rule for Ceuturies as good or bad neighbors, even as allied forces during the long fight against colonialist powerunder the leadership of India's Mahatma Gandhi, for independence from British colonial dominion, Hindus and Muslims know each other very well. But don't tolerate each other. However, the more contemplative atittude of Hindus, facilitates to some of these writers, a more candid, cooler vision of Islam and the global threat of Islam or of some of Islam Califas such as Ossama Bin Laden

The description of the growth of Islam in the world by Naipaul is most illuminating and should be read by all who are interested in this problem of Afganistan. President George Bush and his closests advisers included.

It is already common knowledge that in many ways Ossama and the Talilan are really offsprings of U.S.foreign policy -via CIA- when the feared enemy was the Soviet Union invason of Afganistan during Reagan's frantic Cold War Policy.

In this first War of the 21st Century, Bush, Blair and others have been eager to define the enemy just as terrorists to avoid a global conflict with the Arab world they insist that this is not a war against Islam.

But Naipaul, bluntly and reallistically believes and reminds us that Islam is a conquerors fanatic religion with the sacred and secret aim of domination of the Planet in this Millenieum conquering the world, at least according to teachings in Pakistan's "Madrassas"-academies of warriors-.

Ossama Bin Laden is not a lonely guy. In Pakistan, Naipaul realizes, thousands are deaming to be like Ossama. Many of them are convert and dream with life in paradise. Thousands graduate of the Madrassas, including some military from Pakistan. Actually, most Madrassas are financed by Oil rich Saudi Arabia . And most madrassas are in Pakistan, already a nuclear power.
