Muslim's Holocausts and Genocide Remembrance Day
 
 By Syed Soharwardy, Muslims Against Terrorism (M.A.T.)
 
In the history of mankind it never happened before that so many human beingssuffered and continuously struggled to survive for more than a century withoutany help from outside. In the past, whenever a calamity came upon a certaincommunity either they were completely wiped out from the face of this earth or someone from outside came and helped them in getting out of calamity or theythemselves struggled so hard that they defeated the cause of calamities, henceending the period of calamity. Moreover, it never happened that at one time somany communities remained under calamities for such a long period. Pleaselook around and see what is going on in this world? Muslims in various parts of the world have been under siege and there seems to be no way out for them.But the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him)
said that all Muslims are like a body. If a part of the body suffers the entire body suffers. I am sure whatAllah's Messenger 
(peace be upon him)
have said can not be wrong but there is a possibility that we may not be that kind of Muslims which Prophet
(Peace be uponhim)
meant in this Hadith.The Holocausts and Genocide of Muslims have taken place in the past andrecently. But it seems that the people in the western world do not know enoughabout them and there is a need to create awareness about it. As the Muslims inthe western world are still struggling to make their place in the society, it iscritical that our Christian friends know these facts and understand the situationof Muslim Ummah. After the World War II the Jewish community was sosuccessful in making the Christians believe that the Christians have victimizedthem. They have made Christians so guilty conscious that the majority of Christians not only sympathize with the Jewish community but they feelobligated to pay back the Jewish community whatever they can by supportingevery action of Jewish community.Muslims do not need to make anybody guilty of conscious. We just need tocommunicate with our Christian friends in their language and terminology. Iam sure they will understand but Muslims have to take the first step. We wantto make sure that the people must recognize and believe in the other Holocaustsand genocide as well as the World War II Holocaust. Let's review fewHolocausts and Genocide of Muslims around the world.
•
Palestine
: The Muslim community of Palestine has been struggling for their survival and freedom for almost a century. The Palestiniancommunity was struggling for their homeland long before the creation of 
 
Israel. They were expecting to have their homeland when the Britishleave the area but when British left the area they created Israel notPalestine. After the creation of Israel, the Jewish people of Israel notonly captured the homes and lands of poor Palestinians but they alsodenied them the right of existence in their own homeland. Since 1948 thecalamities for the Palestinian people have increased instead of decreasing. Presently, what Israeli forces are doing to Palestinians isworse than the Holocaust of the World War II. There is no doubt in mymind that the Jewish community suffered a lot during world war II fromthe hands of Nazis and almost six million Jews were killed in thatHolocaust. However, all these calamities ended on the Jewish peoplewhen the allied forces got victory. The Jewish community was liberatedwith the help from USA and allied forces. On the other side, thePalestinians have been struggling on their own against a power (Israel +USA + worldwide Jewish and allied communities) which is 100 timesmore resourceful than the Palestinians. Palestinians have no supportfrom their own Arab brothers. Palestinians have no support from theMuslims of the world. Whatever Palestinians get from the Arab andMuslim world is no more than a lip service. Apparently, we do not seeany end to these calamities on the Palestinians in the near future. So far,more than over a million Palestinians have been killed, millions of themhave made refugees, and millions of them are in the concentrationcamps. The Israeli forces have converted Palestinian homes and areasinto concentration camps.

Chechnya
: The Muslim community of Chechnya has been strugglingfor their survival and freedom for almost a century. During early 1900sthe Russian forces illegally occupied Chechan land and later Russiangovernment annexed it and made it part of Russia against the will of Chechans. The severity of Russian oppression on Chechnya is so gravethat the Russian government looted all the resources of Chechnya suchas oil, coal and other minerals and built the European part of Russiawhile denied the Chechan Muslims any part of their own wealth.Chechnya is one of the least developed areas of Russian Federation.After the collapse of Soviet Union Chechnya announced itsindependence from Russia. Since then, the Russian forces have carriedout the Genocide and Holocaust of Chechan Muslims. Thousands of Muslims have been killed. Buildings have been destroyed. The entireinfrastructure of Chechnya has been collapsed. Women have been publicly raped. Their brothers, fathers and husbands have been mutilatedin front of them. Just like Palestinians Chechans got no help from the
 
governments of Muslim countries except the lip service. The westerngovernments are the most hypocrites. On one side they want to resolvethe Chechnya issue peacefully but on the other side they are providingall the support and the resources to Russian Military to crush theChechan Muslims.

Kashmir
: The Muslims of Kashmir have been struggling for their freedom for the last two centuries. For the first 145 years they fought thewar against the British rule along with the people of India. Finally, whenthe people of India succeeded in getting independence from Britain in1947, the Kashmiri Muslims thought that they would also beindependent from the rule of non-Muslims. When the British left India,the country was divided into countries. The Muslim majority areas of India became independent country called Pakistan and the remainingHindu dominated areas became a separate country called India.According to the agreed upon formula of division Muslim dominatedareas should have joined Pakistan but the departing British rulers dividedthe border in such a way that it became very easy for India to annex this beautiful and full of resources land of Muslims into India. After theindependence, Pakistan fought a war in early fifties and captured someof the area of Kashmir. But this did not help in reducing the miseries of the Muslims of Kashmir. For the past 55 years India is systematicallychanging the demographics of Kashmir. Thousands of Muslims have been killed. The Indian forces have carried out the Genocide of Muslimsin Kashmir openly and deliberately. There is no house in Indian heldKashmir where at least one or more family members have not beenkilled by the Indian army. Every Muslim home is under a siege.Women's have been raped. Children have been kidnapped or killed.Muslims are forced to leave Kashmir. For every Muslim house inKashmir there are three Indian soldiers. Again, Kashmiri Muslims haveno help from any Muslim government. They are fighting against anenemy who is 100 times more resourceful and powerful. The west hascompletely closed its eyes on Kashmir. The Genocide continues inKashmir and apparently no one cares.
