The game of chess is a game of strategy and is symbolic of competing forces in war. When two opponents sit down to play the game, they are both aware that there is a battle underway and that an adversary is trying to defeat them. What happens when two equally talented players sit down to a game and one player knows his objective and is playing to win and the other player is playing without conviction or the realization that his opponent is really out to conquer him? Who is most likely to win?
Since September 11th, the United States of America has declared an all-out war on terror. This threat is so terrible, we are told, that the might of our super powers must be used to crush and eliminate this threat anywhere and everywhere in the world. The conclusion of White House strategists and policy makers is that a double-pronged plan of preemptive war (both military and otherwise) and a reshaping of the Middle East political and cultural realities and values will render the Muslim world a more manageable place for the New World Order.
The way that a game of chess is won is by checkmating the opponent. Checkmate occurs when several conditions have been successfully imposed upon the opponent: 1) The opponent’s King is under attack (placed in check), 2) The opponent cannot destroy the attacker, 3) The opponent cannot block or defend against the attacker, and 4) The opponent cannot escape from the attack. In essence, to checkmate the King is to trap and immobilize him.
The King is not destroyed, but he is rendered useless and powerless to protect his society. The King’s forces have been either neutralized or decimated to a state where they cannot protect the King and he is under the threat of attack and annihilation. He cannot run or escape the attack, he cannot hide or block the attack, and he cannot counter-attack the opponent to remove the attacking foe. When checkmate occurs the game is over and it is customary to lay the King down, symbolic of his submission. His submission leaves the society vulnerable and defenseless against the conqueror.
The King represents the leadership; the authority, that governs a society. To conquer a society, the leadership or authority of that society must be checkmated. To checkmate the Muslim World means to trap and confine its leadership and its authority and make them submit to the conqueror, rendering them unable to protect the Muslim society.
The political and military strategists of The United States, Israel, and increasingly the European Union, design and implement many strategies and tactics to contain and anesthetize the Muslim world. The tools of checkmating Muslim leadership include; military threat or actual use, economic sanctions and economic hegemony, media propaganda, gifts and bribes, blackmail, and a host of other tactics to induce fear, to reward compliance and punish “misbehavior” (acting in one’s own self-interest).
An example of this is the recent democratic election of the Hamas organization as the leadership of the Palestinian people. The United States, Israel, and Britain do not like the results and have chosen to prevent legitimate funds from reaching the Palestinian Authority. They intend to punish the Palestinian people for not supporting their handpicked leadership. This is the economic check.
The Palestinians will be thrown into even greater economic chaos making it impossible for proper governance to occur. When the natural survival response happens, any Palestinians that stand up to fight back for the life and dignity of their families and society will be killed by Israel. Further destruction of the Palestinian infrastructure, homes, and families will take place with impunity. This is the military check.
The Hamas government will be propagandized as the blame for the problems and terrorism will be the label placed upon any Palestinian man fighting the Israeli oppression. Thus, the world will turn a blind eye to whatever must be done to the Palestinians to subjugate them and prevent them from challenging our ally, Israel. This is the propaganda check.
Another example is the threat to make war on Iran. Eight European nations have nuclear weapons. My government, the United States is the only nation in history to actually use an atomic weapon. My government has overthrown the government of Iran twice and set up a puppet leader to rule the people. We used American money, intelligence, and weaponry to help the Shah suppress his own people. The Iranians freed themselves from our oppression via the Shah and began determining their own course of growth. We then encouraged and supported Saddam Hussein’s attack on Iran. The Iranians survived that war and established their independence. They are now striving to consolidate and protect their independence.
It is suspected that they want to develop nuclear weapons to ensure that they have a deterrent against American and Israeli attempts to overthrow their country. The Iranian logic is “If détente was good enough for America and Russia during the cold war, why isn’t it good enough for the Iranians against a superpower that has overthrown it twice and is advocating a third overthrow?”
President Bush has identified Iran as one of the Axis of Evil nations. We have identified them as a supporter of terrorism and the single most important threat to the security of democracy and freedom. This is the propaganda check.
We, in collusion with the European Union, are mobilizing the United Nations to impose economic sanctions on Iran. Just as we devastated Iraq with 10 years of economic sanctions that resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, we intend this same outcome for Iran. This is the economic check.
We have set up an embassy in the United Arab Emirates for Iranian defectors to organize the overthrow of the Iranian government for a third time. We have threatened to use nuclear tactical weapons to eliminate any possibility of Iran developing nuclear weapons as a deterrent against the forced imposition of the Western design for the New World Order. This is the military check.
In both the Palestinian and Iranian cases, if the United States and our allies succeed with their tactics to hogtie the leadership of these nations, checkmate will be achieved and the slow process of tightening the ties that bind them will progress. As for Iraq, it is the key component of the grand chess strategy to manage and control the new world order. Its role will be discussed in a later part of this article.
In the game of chess, the King is not alone on the battlefield. His most powerful ally is the Queen. The Queen is the most powerful piece on the chessboard. She can move in all directions. She can move in short steps or take large leaps. When an opponent takes the Queen, it is seen as a decisive moment in the battle. When taking the Queen, and all pieces (except the King), the opponent removes the piece from the battlefield and places it at his side.
Imam Mohammed has taught us that the woman represents society. The Queen (a woman) represents the society of people that are married to the King (a man), the leadership of that society. The opponent taking the Queen and placing it at his side signifies the people of that society submitting to the opponent’s authority, either through conquest or persuasion, and becoming a support for the conqueror.
For example, for African American people to achieve freedom, justice and equality in this country during the slavery and Jim Crow days, we had to capture the American Queen. Our cause and efforts inspired and shamed the American society, the American people to change their views and see things our way. They came to our side rather than the side of the enemy of our freedom and dignity.
The Western plan for capturing the Queens of the Muslim world is to spread Democracy, which includes Western culture and values, which while compatible with Islam also contain many anti-Islamic values and opens the highway for a flood of what Muslims view as the legal and democratic right to promote and spread decadence.
For example, many Muslims see the portrayal of Islamic values as primitive,
oppressive, restrictive and 15th century and the American values of do-whatever-you-want as enlightened, modern, and 21st century is a way to weaken Muslim people’s commitment to take their religion seriously. The effort to establish the freedom and right to promote nudity, alcohol, and other anti-Islamic values in Muslim societies is a way to neutralize and frustrate moral conviction and to make life safe for those who want fan the flames of passion to derail the original nature of the human being and render the Islamic Queens ineffective.
We are aware that what is called the Muslim world today is not functioning as true Islamic societies should. But that is no reason to accept to be dominated by those who should not be allowed to be protecting friends of our most vital Islamic interests. If America and others can have vital national interests that they will go to great lengths to protect, why can’t Muslims have vital Islamic interests that we want to protect?
Make no mistake; we recognize that what constitutes the Muslim world is not the Islamic world Allah wants. It is not the Ummah that prophet Muhammad would be satisfied with. However, it is what we have. It must be preserved so that proper Islam can eventually grow and flourish. The last time Western nations had control of Muslim lands they handicapped it like they did Africa, using the tool of divide and conquer. The attack from the United States, Europe, and Israel might be just what the Muslim world needs to wake up and recognize that they must strengthen the people of their societies so that the Queens can assist the King.
It is precisely Imam Mohammed’s wisdom regarding the role of the Queen that he has placed so much emphasis on the development of the individual. He knows that for the society to be strong, the individual must be strong. Strong, educated, morally sound individuals will form a powerful Queen that is a powerful ally of her King.
