The Fake Persianization of the Abbasid Caliphate

By Prof. Muhammet Şemsettin Gözübüyükoğlu

(Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis)

Pre-publication of Part Eight and Chapter XXII of my forthcoming book “Turkey is Iran and Iran is Turkey - 2500 Years of indivisible Turanian - Iranian Civilization distorted and estranged by Anglo-French Orientalists”; Part Eight (The Distorted Term 'Persianate') consists exclusively of Chapter XXII. The book is made of 12 parts and 33 chapters.

----------------------------------------------

With the aforementioned, one can understand that, despite its vast territory and its broad ethnic base (wider than the Umayyads'), the Abbasid Caliphate was a very weak imperial institution that could be challenged practically speaking by any small group of dissidents. Its rise in terms of spiritual-intellectual breakthrough, cultural diversity, academic-scientific knowledge, artistic-architectural creativity, economic wealth, and military strength was conditioned by one critical prerequisite: the caliphs should be able to compose an unprecedented imperial universality out of all these diverse elements that were being incessantly multiplied by the genius of Islam. Quite unfortunately, very few Abbasid caliphs proved able to pass this test. Then, the fact that this state lasted more than 500 years is rather a miracle!

In fact and to use an anachronism, the Abbasid Caliphate only 100 years after its establishment (850) was already the Sick Man of Eurasia! Neither the short-lived Umayyad Caliphate nor the Abbasid Empire that definitely eclipsed its predecessor in every sense were formed like the Roman (Republic and later) Empire, gradually prevailing over neighboring states and progressively expanding territorially over the span of 250 years (from the First Punic War, 264-241 BCE, until the annexation of Egypt, 30 BCE). Quite contrarily, Harun al-Rashid, 150 years after the early Islamic conquests, was ruling over a territory larger than that of the Roman Emperor Trajan, commanding lands between China and India in the East and the Atlantic Ocean in the West.

As regards its immense territory, linguistic multitude, and cultural–spiritual diversity, the Abbasid Caliphate can be compared only to two earlier empires: that of Alexander the Great and that of Darius I the Great. However, Alexander's empire was split to four kingdoms only 20 years after his death, and the Achaemenid Empire of Iran did not last more than 220 years after its establishment. In fact, 100 years after Darius I the Great's death, Iran was in decay. Pretty much like the Achaemenid Empire of Iran, which was not a Zoroastrian state, but a vast empire with many different religions and with Zoroastrianism as its official religion, the Abbasid Caliphate was not an Islamic state; it was a vast empire with many different religions and with Islam as its official religion. Even more strikingly in the case of the Abbasid Caliphate, new dogmas, doctrines, spiritual orders, mystical groups, theological interpretations, apocalyptic eschatological schools, and transcendental concepts were appearing almost like mushrooms. It is a terrible oversight not to take this reality into account.

What happened to the Abbasid Caliphate was however a historical particularity. Few decades after the death of Harun al-Rashid (786-809), who marked the peak of Abbasid power, several parts of the empire started seceding. One must clarify from the beginning that this was a really new type of 'secession', because it also involved approval by the caliph himself. This phenomenon took the appearance of imperial entrustment of an administrative province to a formidable military combatant, who instantly and voluntarily recognized the imperial authority. The name of the Abbasid caliph was mentioned first in the acclamations and wishes made in all sermons given during Friday prayers in all the mosques of the 'seceded' territory; taxes were paid to Baghdad and coordination was effectual, but in reality, the caliph had only nominal power over the 'seceded' province(s). More importantly, the formidable military rulers who bore significant royal titles (emirs, sultans or even caliphs) formed hereditary dynasties and engaged in various wars with local rebels, occasional invaders, foreign belligerents, neighboring secessionist rulers, and new spiritual, mystical or theological adversaries in a way that truly made of their territories fully independent states typified by their own interests and distinct characteristics.

In fact, after the first decades of the 9th c. the Abbasid Caliphate totally ceased to function as a centralized imperial institution and authority. The weakened caliphs did not have sufficient stability in Baghdad and ample military force in the provinces to quench the incessant uprisings and to avert this type of secessions. Even worse, sometimes the caliphs needed the voluntarily offered help of experienced warriors, who came with a well-trained military force to save the caliphate and eliminate its enemies. What occurred then is a situation almost similar to the appanage, a well-attested practice in Christian times' Europe. This term (from Latin adpanare 'to give bread') involves the grant of an estate as a reward for, or in recompense of, services offered or rights claimed. The final result was that the Abbasid caliph ended up as a totally powerless, decorative figure; of all of these secessionist rulers, the Buwayhi (or Buyids) achieved the unthinkable: they made of Baghdad, the capital city of the Abbasid Caliphate, their own … capital! No blood involved; no blackmail used; no threat issued!

This happened in 945; Ahmad ibn Buya, usually known in modern historiography under his regnal name Mu'izz al-Dawla, i.e. 'Fortifier of the State' (and in this case, as 'state' was meant the Caliphate itself), invaded Baghdad and made of the Abbasid capital his own capital too in the name of the caliph. It may sound odd, but it was the impotent caliph Al-Mustakfi who gave Ahmad ibn Buya the aforementioned regnal name. There is more 'paradox' to it; Ahmed ibn Buya had thoughts, ideas and beliefs close to (but not identical with) those of the followers of the descendants of Prophet Muhammad and Ali. And of course, the Abbasid caliph opposed the idea that the title of caliph was rightfully claimed by the family of the Prophet.

Of course, no one named at the time the caliph Al-Mustakfi a 'Sunni' and Ahmad ibn Buya a 'Shia', and today, it would be ridiculous to brand Ahmed ibn Buya a 'Shia' and the impotent caliph Al-Mustakfi a 'Sunni'. Only modern Western Orientalists and 'Sunni' or 'Shia' militants carry out similar distortions, the former due to their malignancy and the latter because of their ignorance and idiocy. It is definitely noteworthy that this divergence did not prevent Ahmed ibn Buya and Al-Mustakfi from finding common ground. It was however a period of very high messianic and eschatological fever, enthusiasm and fascination.

Muhammad ibn al-Askari, son of Hasan al-Askari {846-874; the 11th imam of those among the Muslims who accepted Musa al-Kadhim as the 7th imam (aforementioned section M 4 i)} and of the Eastern Roman princess Narjis ibnat Yashua (i.e. 'daughter of Jesus'), was born in 869 only to enter his Minor Occultation in 874 (one day after his father's passing away) and then his Major Occultation in 941; after that date and down to our times, the followers of this group expect the termination of the Major Occultation and the appearance of the 12th imam (Muhammad ibn al-Askari), an event prophesied to coincide with the End of Times. This means that the followers of this group identify the 12th imam with the Mahdi of Prophet Muhammad's Hadith (oral tradition). Mahdi is the Islamic Messiah, who was prophesied to lead the battle, along with Prophet Jesus (who will also reappear then), against the forces of Evil (under Masih al-Dajjal, the Antichrist, lit. 'the most fake Messiah') and eliminate them once for all. I mention the above only to show that the rise of the Buyids coincided with a time of immense apocalyptic, eschatological and messianic expectations, as people believed that developments would follow within short time (similarly with early Christians at the end of the 1st c. CE and with believers of other religions in different moments).

Of course, when describing the above, one must be watchful not to fall into the traps of modern states' pseudo-historical dogmas, fanatic pseudo-theologians' inconsistent doctrines, and Western Orientalists' intentional fallacies. It is therefore greatly important to take into account two points:

First, the various secessionists, seceding emirs, and revolting warriors were not Iranians or Persians; they were of Iranian (Persian included), Turanian, Berber, Arab and other origin. Secessions did not start in what is known as historical Iran and they were never limited there. During that period, there was never an ethnic divide 'Iranians vs. Arabs', because most of the Iranians sided with some Arabs (notably the Alids, i.e. the descendants of Prophet Muhammad and of Ali), most of the Arabs sided also with the Alids, and more importantly, most of the Arabs were already dispersed among Aramaeans, Yemenites, Iranians, Turanians, Egyptians, Berbers of North Africa, and other nations and, due to this fact, they never consisted in an 'ethnic group' properly speaking within Islam after 750 CE. Last, there was no ethnic dimension attributed to these secessions, revolts, wars or splits.

Fallacious Western Orientalists start their presentation of the fragmentation and collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Samanid dynasty, which was established supposedly in 819; in fact, this is a lie, because at that time, the four sons of (the newly converted to Islam) Asad ibn Saman were rewarded by the governor of Khorasan Asad ibn Abdallah al-Qasri and by the Abbasic caliph al-Ma'mun for their bravery in combatting the Samarqand garrison commander Rafi ibn al-Layth who had revolted. Asad ibn Saman's four sons - Nuh, Ahmad, Yahya, and Ilyas - were then appointed as governors of four important Central Asiatic cities. Their positions were inherited by their respective sons and only after a 'civil' Samanid war (in fact, a family internal conflict), a unified entity emerged in 892 under Ismail Samani and the then weakened caliph was forced to recognize him as the local ruler. Speaking of a Samanid 'dynasty' before 892 is sheer nonsense, whereas calling the emerged state (one should just call it an 'administrative institution') an 'empire' is ridiculous. Even more absurd is to describe the Samanid state as ethnically 'Iranian'. Its population was almost totally Turanian.

However, this was not the first, gradually emerged secessionist entity. At this point, we have to also take into consideration the fact that few marginal Iranian rulers (of the Qarinvand and the Dabuyid dynasties), who controlled parts of the southern shore of Caspian Sea (in the almost inaccessible region of the Elburz (Alborz) range of mountains) already before the demise of the Sassanid Empire (636-651), continued existing under the early caliphs, the Umayyads and the Abbasids, although having tormented relations with them.

As a matter fact, the first rulers, who seceded from the Islamic Caliphate, were the Rustamids, who established their rule in parts of today's Algeria, Tunisia and Libya as early as 761. Even more importantly, they institutionalized the Ibadi theological, jurisprudential school of Islam, which survived down to our days, being unrelated to what is wrongly defined as 'Sunni' and 'Shia'; they were instrumental in diffusing Islam among the Berbers who made the quasi-totality of the populations of Northern and Northwestern Africa. Not quite differently from the Ibadi Rustaminds, the Muhallabids controlled parts of the caliphate's African provinces from 768 to 795; however, they were known for their animosity against the Berbers and their rule was soon terminated.

Also before the Samanids, the Idrisids (claiming descent from Ali, as Idriss I was indeed the great grandchild of Hasan, the 2nd imam) founded their own kingdom (emirate) with first capital at Volubilis (Walili, in today's Northern Morocco) in 788, acting in full opposition to the Abbasids and in synergy with various forces of the anti-Abbasid opposition. Furthermore, the Justanids (followers of Zayd ibn Ali, who are nowadays mistakenly called Zaydi or Zaidi Shia) were established in the almost unreachable province of the southwestern shores of Caspian Sea (in 791). In addition, the Aghlabids formed their state in parts of today's Algeria, Tunisia and Sicily in 800 (when Harun al-Rashid appointed Ibrahim I ibn al-Aghlab as hereditary emir of the Abbasid province of Africa/Ifriqiya) and promoted a theological – jurisprudential particularity, namely an amalgamation of Mu'talizite theology with Hanafi school of Figh.

So, the fragmentation of the Abbasid Caliphate was not due to Iranians or Persians and did not have any Iranian or Persian character.

Second, there is no 'Shia' character or dimension in the overwhelmingly apocalyptic, eschatological and messianic fever, enthusiasm and fascination of the 8th, the 9th, and the 10th c. It is wrong to imagine that, at those days, the Sunni Muslims did not have a messianic fever and the Shia Muslims did. There were no Sunni and Shia at those days; practically speaking, all the populations of the Caliphate, Muslim or not, were characterized by an apocalyptic fascination. However, this fascination had no ethnic and no religious background; it was general and overwhelming, and it would take an independent study to explore its reasons, which may eventually be related to the complete disappointment from - and the total disgust about - the Islamic Caliphate's methods of rule and administration.

Long before the 12th imam (of today's Twelver Shia) went in Occultation (Minor Occultation in 874 and Major Occultation in 941), and already before Ja'far al Sadiq's eldest son Isma'il ibn Ja'far (of today's Sevener Shia) died (762), Abu Muslim al-Khorasani, a formidable combatant and a gallant general of Iranian origin (possibly Turanian, but surely not a Persian from Fars, because most of the people in Khorasan were Turanians), died in 755; his military action and imperial advice proved to be determinant in overthrowing the Umayyad dynasty and in integrating non-Muslim Manichaeans, Nestorians, Gnostics, Mazdakists, Zervanists, Mazdeists (wrongly described as Zoroastrians), Buddhists and the followers of many new mystical doctrines into the early Abbasid Empire. So, he immediately became a legendary and occult personality for various groups, who claimed that Abu Muslim al-Khorasani had not actually died, but would come back as the prophesied Mahdi. This means clearly that what was later developed as Sevener Shia messianic eschatology and as Twelver Shia apocalyptic occult doctrine were merely some aspects and dimensions of a far more general phenomenon that took place across the Islamic Caliphate during the 8th, the 9th, and the 10th c., involving Muslims, non-Muslims, and followers of mystical orders at the confines of every strict doctrine.

Of course, Abu Muslim al-Khorasani was not the only case of occult literature and messianic eschatological fascination and indoctrination; he was only one. The Khurramites were an 8th c. spiritual, mystical order and rebellious group that accepted a doctrine established by rebellious mystics like the Iranians Sunpadh, Behafarid, and Ustadh Sis and the Turanian Ishaq al-Turk. All of them were Muslims with a strong impact of earlier apocalyptic, messianic and eschatological traditions (Manichaean, Gnostic, Nestorian, Mazdakist, Mazdeist, Zervanist, and other) and all of them performed impressive spiritual exploits and magnificent transcendental acts.

An obscure figure named Hashim al-Muqanna (the 'Veiled'), probably a Turanian, organized the Khurramites into a successful military unit characterized by spiritual discipline; he appeared as the incarnation of God and as spiritual continuity of Prophet Muhammad, Ali and Abu Muslim al-Khorasani. His posthumous fame through the Nizari Isma'ili (Assassins), the Knights Templar, and several Western European Freemasonic orders reached Napoleon, who even wrote an envisioned conversation between himself and the mystical visionary al-Muqanna (named "Le Masque prophète").

More determinant role in the transformation of the Khurramites into a formidable military force and major challenge for the Abbasid armies was Babak Khorramdin (795-838), a Turanian from Azerbaijan, i.e. pre-Islamic Iran's most sacred province, which was the center of monotheistic Zoroastrian doctrine and tradition. In fact, due to his military mastership, the Babakiyah (as the Khurramites were renamed) were practically invincible. Based in their famous and almost inaccessible castle known as Kale-ye Babak (Babak Castle), which is one of Modern Iran's most spectacular monuments (in the mountainous region of Southern Azerbaijan, near Kaleybar), the Babakiyah attacked the armies of the Caliphate and tormented many northern provinces in the Caucasus and Central Asia regions.

Having organized a clandestine network of affiliated groups, they were able to get insightful and be prepared for devastating hits against the forces of the Abbasid caliph. All major historians of Islamic times dedicated long pages to describe their valor, exploits, heroic deeds, doctrinal particularities, and mystical visions. At the end, Babak Khorramdin suffered an excruciating death at the hands of the monstrous soldiers of the cruel, pseudo-Muslim Abbasid caliph; the tortures described by illustrious historians as applied to the master of the Babakiyah order are all strictly prohibited in Islam.

However, Babak Khorramdin's messianic legend survived for centuries; his clandestine organization endured and carried out subversive activities and frontal wars against the Abbasid caliphs across vast territories spanning between the Eastern Roman Empire and China; and the ramifications of the Babakiyah order's mystical doctrine and military practices can be attested later among various Islamic traditions and groups, involving the Isma'ili Assassins and the Qizilbash of the Ottoman – Safavid times.

What is falsely described by Western Orientalists as Persianization of the Abbasid Caliphate is an effort to

i- distort the nature, character and dimensions of the Golden Era of Islamic Civilization,

ii- depict it as a 'Persian' (not even Iranian) cultural by-product,

iii- culturally subordinate numerous Central Asiatic (Turanians), Western Asiatic (Aramaeans, Caucasians, and Eastern Romans), and South Asiatic nations (Dravidians, Malay) to Persians,

iv- erase the extensive Turanization of the entire Eurasia,

v- conceal the majestic role played by the Aramaeans in the formation of the Islamic Civilization

vi- develop and detail the next historical stage of the fallacious Orientalist divide 'Iran vs. Turan' (1037-1501: from the emergence of the Slejuk to the rise of the Safavids),

vii- avert any possible reference to the impact that Manichaeism exerted on the Islamic Civilization,

viii- depict as non-Islamic the peak of Islamic Civilization (and in the process promote Western propaganda related to Islamism, Wahhabism and Islamic Terrorism),

ix- advance a global, racist, Indo-European agenda, and

x- promote a certain number of fake divides and mistaken identifications that would be politically and geopolitically useful.

The underlying concept of this historical falsification is the fallacy that 'Shia Persians' took the upper hand in the Abbasid Caliphate only to be later superseded by – the already Persianized (!?) – Turks, starting with the Seljuk dynasty. For this purpose, there are many fabricated terms, such as Iranian Intermezzo or Iranian Renaissance and Sunni Revival. These fake terms help distort the presentation of

A- the period from the rise of the Samanid dynasty (892) to the arrival of the Seljuk Turks (1037) and the demolition of the Buyid parasites in Baghdad (1055); this period is falsely called 'Iranian Intermezzo', and

B- the period from the rise of the Seljuk (1037-1055) to the rise of the first Sufi dynasty in Iran, i.e. the Safavids, in 1501.

Several determinant historical facts are enough to refute the fallacy of the Persianization of the Caliphate:

i- The presence of Turanians as basic component of the Achaemenid, Arsacid and Sassanid empires refutes the nonsensical distortion as per which 'Turks' (Turanians) appear in Iran only with the arrival of the Seljuk Turks. The same is valid for the early Islamic period until the peak of the Abbasid Caliphate. In all the parts of the unit VI (from A to L), I expanded on this highly concealed topic.

ii- The terms of Turanian – Persian interaction within the wider Iran – Turan were known since the Achaemenid times and they were only repeated across the ages and during the various periods of Islamic History. In the aboce unit VI (part D. Iranian and Turanian nations in Achaemenid Iran), I wrote: "The Persians, among all Iranians and Turanians, had an inclination to poetry, literature, epics, lyricism, arts and symbolism, whereas the Turanians were known for their tendency to martial arts, military discipline and life, asceticism and religious mysticism. The Turanians found it therefore normal to write in Old Achaemenid Iranian in the 1st millennium BCE, in Middle Persian (Parsik) during the 1st millennium CE, and in Arabic and Farsi after the arrival of Islam".

iii- One very well-known fact is comfortably forgotten, when Orientalists, Iranologists and Islamologists study the Early History of Islam between Tigris and Indus. Similarly with the invasion of Alexander the Great, the early Islamic conquest caused an overwhelming destruction of Fars (Persia). The principal Iranian capital Istakhr was totally erased from the surface of the Earth. Alexander the Great's destruction of Persepolis pales in comparison of the Islamic armies' pulverization of Istakhr. This can be easily noticed by any non-specialist traveller who happens to visit the two sites. Whereas other provinces of Iran, notably Atropatene / Adhurbadagan – Azerbaijan (also known as Abakhtar in Sassanid times), were not destroyed at all, Fars was left in ruins already before 651, when the Islamic armies reached Merv in today's Turkmenistan. And Persians were slaughtered to the last, except for those who were lucky enough to flee to the southeast, reach Sistan and Baluchistan (in today's SE Iran and SW Pakistan), and settle there.

iv- This is exactly what happened: Turanians preserved Middle Persian (Parsik) and developed Farsi after the arrival of Islam, because the Persian language had always been their means of cultural-literary expression, pretty much like Turanian (Turkic) was the language of the army. With this I don't mean that all Persian Iranians disappeared with the arrival of Islam; there were Persians living in Mesopotamia, in the Northeast (Khurasan), the Middle Zagros (Khwarawaran), and other southern regions except Fars, but they were few. The bulk of Persian populations lived in Fars and most of them were slaughtered, as they were viewed as the most polytheistic element of the Sassanid Empire.

v- Of course, the terms Iranian Intermezzo and Iranian Renaissance are not wrong if understood properly, i.e. if considered as involving the contribution of Iranians, Turanians and other nations, notably the Aramaeans, in the formation of the Islamic Civilization. Furthermore, these terms must be totally deprived of any religious or denominational connotation.

It is absurd to portray the anti-Caliphate forces, arbitrarily called 'Shia', as the driving force of the Iranian-Turanian-Aramaean Renaissance, because there were also many pro-Caliphate elements that participated in the rise of the Islamic Civilization.

And it is totally wrong to view the Seljuk Turks and other Turanians either as 'Sunni' or as the driving force of an otherwise nonexistent 'Sunni revival' during the following period 1055-1501. As a matter of fact, Turanians were the major force behind the rise of the apocalyptic, messianic, eschatological mysticism of the 8th, 9th and 10th c., which is viciously distorted (by Western Orientalists and today's silly, uneducated and intoxicated 'Sunni' and 'Shia' theologians) as 'Shia doctrine'.

As conclusion one can simply say that, as early as 651, there were not enough Persians left to possibly 'persianize' or 'indo-europeanize' the Islamic Caliphate.

As a matter of fact, the terms 'persianization' and 'persianate' or 'persianate society' were introduced only in the 1970s by Marshall Hodgson, but within a totally diverse context and with a greatly different connotation. In fact, Marshall Hodgson was an erudite scholar and a pioneer intellectual who took a staunch anti-Eurocentric stance and introduced several new terms in an effort to demolish the fake colonial model of historiography. Rejecting the fallacy of Western, colonial, racist Orientalism, in his celebrated "The Venture of Islam: Conscience and History in a World Civilization" (3 vols.), Marshall Hodgson tried to offer to the Islamic Civilization something that almost all earlier Western Islamologists and Orientalists worked hard to deprive it of: its universality.

Marshall Hodgson contributed greatly to an improved viewpoint over China's contribution to World History, again rejecting earlier Eurocentric fallacies of demented Western Orientalists and Sinologists. Marshall Hodgson coined the term 'persianate society' in a – very correct – effort to reject and rebut the fallacy of the so-called 'Arab-Islamic' civilization and the deprecatory presentation of Islam as an 'Arab religion' (see above parts 1, 2 and 3 of the unit M. Western Orientalist falsifications of Islamic History: the Arabization of Islam and the Persianization of the Abbasid Caliphate: 1. Identification of Islam with only Hejaz at the times of the Prophet; 2. The fake, Orientalist Arabization of Islam; 3. The systematic dissociation of Islam from the Ancient Oriental History).

But as it usually happens, when evil gangsters are allowed to control Western European and North American universities, libraries, museums, foundations and associated research institutions, the original scope of the new term was removed, the term was decontextualized, and its further use proved to be totally erroneous and in striking opposition to the original use (by Marshall Hodgson).

Then, the decontextualized and distorted term was used for the above mentioned purposes i-x. Many tricks have been used for this purpose, especially false etymology of various names (to present them as of Persian origin) and incongruous linguistics. The foundation of Beit al Hikmah (House of Wisdom) in the first years of Abbasid rule played a tremendous role in the promotion of the academic life, the scientific exploration, and the intellectual advancement across the caliphate. This tendency was mainly based on Aramaean scholars of Tesifun (Ctesiphon), Nusaybin (Nisibis), Urhoy (Edessa of Osrhoene), Antioch, Gundeshapur (the greatest Sassanid library, university, archives and research center, museum and scriptorium), who were variably Muslims, Manichaeans, Gnostics or (Monophysitic or Nestorian) Christians. Iranian, Turanian, Yemenite, Egyptian, Berber and Indian scholars flocked to the House of Wisdom, which was located in Baghdad. The whole movement was supported by great Iranian families that had sooner or later abandoned Mazdeism and accepted Islam, like the Naubakht family (originating from Nemroz, i.e. the Sassanid Empire's southern administrative region) and the Barmak family, which was native to Khorasan.

The name of the Barmak family is evidently of Turanian origin (Parmak) and it was turned to al-Baramikah (البرامكة) in Arabic and Barmakian (برمکیان‎) in Farsi. However, paranoid Western historians and racist Orientalists attempted to distort this family name enormously in order to depict as … Indian and Buddhist. The ridiculous effort reached the point of even associating the historical name with the Sanskrit word Pramukha; this was suggested by the irrelevant English Indologist Harold Walter Bailey, who tried to indo-europeanize everything he studied in Central and South Asia. This idiotic and racist pseudo-scholar, who was shamelessly venerated in colonial England, forgot that first, Sanskrit was never used in Khorasan; second, it was already a dead language in the 8th c. CE; third, if truly the influential family's name were Pramukha, it would never be vocalized as al-Baramikah in Arabic and as Barmakian in Farsi.

Even more absurd is the Western Orientalists' effort to portray the prestigious Islamic family as having Buddhist affiliations prior to their adhesion to Islam. Nothing proves that the Barmakids were Buddhists and not Mazdeists (the late form of Zoroastrianism that was the official religion of the Sassanid Empire). Plenty of Islamic historical sources describe the pre-Islamic family members of the Barmakids as priestly, which means Mazdeist mobedh. Their homeland was Balkh which was a major Zoroastrian religious center since the Achaemenid times.

The ridiculous association of the Barmakian with the so-called Nawbahar Buddhist monastery (reconstructed as Nava Vihara in Sanskrit) is totally unsubstantiated because such a monastery is delusional and unsubstantiated, as it has never been identified, let alone excavated. Many Islamic sources it describe the Nawbahar temple as a fire place (so, evidently a Mazdeist shrine), and not one colonial Orientalist published a single article to refute these historical sources. Although there are certainly Chinese historical sources testifying to the existence of a Buddhist temple in the wider region of Balkh (Bactra), nothing proves that they refer to the Nawbahar shrine. All the same, if the Barmakian were Buddhists, this only strengthens the argument in favor of the Turanian ancestry of the said family, because the Persians in Khorasan were all followers of the official religion of the Sassanid Empire (Mazdeism) and the only eventual followers of Buddhism in Khorasan and Central Asia were Turanians.

The only correct term to describe the real nature of the Abbasid Caliphate until the arrival of the Seljuk Turks (1055) is 'Turanian – Iranian – Aramaean Renaissance of Islam'. About:

The Fake Texts of Ancient Greek 'Historians': the Behistun Inscription, Ctesias, Diodorus Siculus, Darius I the Great, and Semiramis

In a previous article published under the title 'Aristotle as Historical Forgery, the Western World’s Fake History & Rotten Foundations, and Prof. Jin Canrong’s Astute Comments', I wholeheartedly supported the position taken by the prominent Chinese Prof. Jin Canrong about Aristotle and I explained why Aristotle never existed as he is known today and most of his texts were not written by him, but by the pseudo-Christian Benedictine monks of Western Europe for the purpose of the ferocious imperial and theological battle that Rome carried out against New Rome-Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire. You can find the table of contents and a link to the publication at the end of the present article.

The Behistun inscription

Introduction

In the present article, I will offer a typical example of text falsification carried out by the Catholic monks, who did not 'copy and preserve' manuscripts of ancient Greek and Latin texts, as it has been mendaciously said by Western European and North American academics and lying scholars, but they purposefully falsified, distorted, concealed, destroyed and/or contrived numerous texts.

This enormous forgery took place in Western Europe between the 2nd half of the 8th century and the 1st half of the 15th century; the colonial era was launched exactly afterwards. For this reason, few manuscripts with Ancient Greek and Roman texts date before the 8th c.; in fact, most of them have been either distorted and replaced or hidden in the vast libraries still owned, controlled and administered that the anti-Christian Roman Catholic Church.

The purpose of this devious and evil effort was the fabrication of a fake narrative about the forged antiquity and the supposed importance of the Western Europeans according to the needs of world conquest, prevalence and preponderance of the pseudo-Christian Roman Catholic Church; this bogus-historical dogma, as direct opposition to and ultimate rejection of Orthodox Christianity, would be initially imposed as the 'scientific discipline of History' in Western Europe and subsequently projected onto the rest of the world by means of colonial invasion, indigenous identity destruction, moral integrity demolition, cultural heritage disintegration, educational subordination, economic exploitation, military subjugation, and socio-political domination.  

In other words, the monastical scribes and copyists created an entirely fake Euro-centric past, which became the rotten foundation of Western Europe. This fallacy became known as Judeo-Christian world and Greco-Roman civilization. However, the decipherment of ancient languages (Egyptian hieroglyphic, Old Achaemenid Iranian, Assyrian-Babylonian, Sumerian, Hurrian, Hittite, Urartu, Ugaritic, etc) and the study of millions of original texts, which were not copies of earlier sources but contemporaneous to the events that they narrated, sounded the death knell of the era of history fabrication programs.

With the post-Soviet rise of the great continental powers (China, India, Russia, etc.), the economic-military-political-ideological-educational-academic-cultural tyranny of the Western World started being overthrown throughout the earlier colonized world. The historical forgery that the colonial rulers imposed collapsed, the falsehood of the Eurocentric dogma of World History started being revealed and rejected, and an overwhelming project of total de-Westernization appeared as a prerequisite for the liberation of the Mankind from the lies of the European Renaissance, the Western Humanities, the White Supremacism, the Western European colonialism and racism, as well as from the falsehood of numerous subsystems of the construct, such as Classicism, Hellenism, Orientalism, etc.  

In our days, it is imperative for anti-colonial scholars to unveil the distortions applied to Ancient Greek and Latin texts by the medieval monks. Consequently, historians from all over the world have to work together in order to denounce and obliterate the Western fraud and the fake History of the Western Man, which consists in arbitrarily taking 14th c. CE manuscripts as authentic narratives of Ancient History.

I. A fictional concept: the origin of the fraud

Apparently, the present brief article cannot be an exhaustive presentation of the Western fraud, and of the historical forgery that the Western monks, manuscript copyists, collectors, academics and propagandists attempted to impose worldwide through colonial conquests, massacres and tyrannies. However, I can still enumerate the major founding myths of the Western World.

Two thematic circles of historical distortions and fraudulent claims made by the Western academia revolve around the following two entirely fabricated entities, which have conventionally but erroneously been called

a) "the Greco-Roman world" and

b) "Biblical Israel" and "Judeo-Christian civilization".

These ahistorical entities never existed. The original concept of those notions is purely fictional, and it therefore remains always unquestioned in the fraudulent Western universities. In this regard, the sources that the Western academics evoke to support their claims are posterior, untrustworthy, forged and therefore worthless.

At times, some of those texts represent merely ancient authors' misperceptions of earlier texts and authors; however, more often, the ancient texts have been tampered with. On other occasions, ancient texts that refute the lies of other historical sources are hidden from the general public and conventionally discussed among the Western academic accomplices.  

II. A construct based on posterior textual sources

The entire construct hinges on the deceitful presentation of several types of material forged, collected, concealed, interpreted, contextualized, narrated, repeatedly but intentionally discussed, supposedly questioned, and selectively popularized; this was due to the fact that the said material was incessantly utilized for the colonial needs and targets of the Western European powers (England, France, Holland, Spain, Portugal, and more recently the US). In fact, the Western World's fake History was created as the ultimate support of all colonial claims.

This process happened within a system in which posterior textual sources (preserved in medieval manuscripts) have occupied the central position, whereas the ancient epigraphic material, which was contemporaneous to the historical events under study, has been deliberately disregarded.

All later discovered data and pieces of information were either adjusted to the construct or methodically hidden; this is how the original concept, pathetically believed almost as a religious dogma, remained totally unchallenged down to our days.

III. The deceitful presentation

The quintessence of the deceitful presentation involves a vicious trick; people (pupils and students, but also scholars and intellectuals, as well as the general public) are taught and made accustomed to care mainly about the absolutely insignificant dates of birth and death of historical persons (authors, rulers, etc.), and not about the dates of the manuscripts in which these individuals are mentioned as supposed authors; this situation turns readers, students and scholars into pathetic idiots. 

Subsequently, we cannot seriously afford to describe Herodotus as a 5th c. BCE writer, because there is no manuscript with texts attributed to him, dating before the 10th c. CE. In addition, if we take into account the enormous number of other ancient authors decrying, denigrating and rejecting Herodotus' absurdities and malignancy, we have to permanently and irrevocably obliterate Herodotus from the History of Mankind and consider his false, paranoid and racist texts as a double Crime against the Mankind:

first, with respect to the original narrative (to which we don't have access as it was distorted by medieval monastical scribes and copyists) because the author attempted to disparage the superior Iranian civilization and the majestic Achaemenid universalist empire, while undeservedly praising the South Balkan barbarians, and

second, as regards the currently available text, which was forged as per the discriminatory intentions of the monks who altered and distorted it in their effort to fabricate the fake, modern divide (or dichotomy) East-West, and to offer a shred of historicity to it.

IV. 5th century BCE texts found in 15th c.  CE manuscripts do not make 'History'.

People get therefore addicted to considering as a true and original 'work' (of an ancient author) the manuscript (or manuscripts) in which the specific treatise, essay or book was copied perhaps 10 or 15 centuries after the author composed it. Due to a long chain of intermediaries (namely library copyists, librarians, scholars, monks, collectors, purchasers and/or statesmen), the transmitted text may have been partly or totally changed.

There is absolutely no guarantee as regards the honesty, the good intentions, the unbiased attitude, and the benevolent character of the perhaps 5, 10, 20 or 50 persons who -living in different eras and without knowing one another- may have constituted the chain of (unknown to us) intermediaries between the hand of the author and that of the last copyist whose manuscript was preserved down to our times.

Example: very little matters today whether the ancient author Diodorus Siculus or Siceliotes (西西里的狄奧多羅斯) actually lived in the 1st c. BCE or in the 3rd c. CE; quite contrarily, what is important for history-writing is the fact that the earliest known manuscript of his famous 'Bibliotheca Historica' (世界史) dates back to the 10th c. CE.

Consequently, the first piece of information that should be stated after the name of any 'ancient' Anatolian, Macedonian, Thracian, Greek, Roman and other author is the date of the earliest extant manuscript of his works.

V. Abundant evidence of lies and deliberate distortions attested in the manuscript transmission

An extraordinarily high number of original sources excavated in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia, Canaan, Iran and elsewhere, and subsequently deciphered, can be dated with accuracy; example: the Annals of great Assyrian emperor Tiglath-pileser III (745-727 BCE) were written during his reign. They are contemporaneous and therefore original.

However, in striking contrast to them, almost all the manuscripts with the works of ancient Greek and Roman authors whose texts have formed the backbone of the fraudulent historical dogma of the Western academia are not contemporaneous but posterior by, at times, 1500 or 2000 years.

Even worse, numerous ancient Greek authors' texts were not preserved through a manuscript tradition at all; they were saved as references in posterior authors' works. This concerns, for instance, Ctesias (克特西亞斯), an Ancient Carian (Anatolian) physician and erudite scholar, who lived and worked in the court of the Achaemenid Iranian emperor Artaxerxes II in the 5th c. BCE.

Later, willing to offer potential guidebooks to Iran and India for the use of various peripheral peoples and tribes of the Balkan region, Ctesias elaborated in Ancient Ionian (愛奧尼亞希臘語) two treatises to describe the state of things in Iran and in India. To the Western academic bibliography, his works are known (in Latin) as 'Persica' and 'Indica'.

These texts were not saved integrally in manuscripts copied for the purpose of preserving Ctesias' works, but they were preserved in Diodorus Siculus' 'Bibliotheca Historica'. Although he is not known through authentic and contemporaneous Iranian sources, we can deduce that Ctesias certainly spoke fluently the official language of the Empire and read Old Achaemenid cuneiform. Eventually, he may have also studied and learned Babylonian and Elamite cuneiform, namely two ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform languages and writings the use of which was maintained by Iranian scribes.

Apparently, Ctesias had a firsthand insight, as he lived for many years in Parsa (Persepolis), the capital of the Achaemenid Empire and he also traveled extensively along with the Iranian emperor. But, unfortunately, the following ordeal was produced.  

VI. Darius I the Great, the Behistun inscription, and Ctesias

One century before Ctesias served Artaxerxes II, the empire of Iran was saved by Darius I the Great (大流士一世; reign: 522-486), who overthrew a usurper, namely the Mithraic (密特拉教祭司) magus Gaumata (高墨达), and by so doing, preserved on the throne a dynasty of faithful Zoroastrian (瑣羅亞斯德教徒) monarchs.

To commemorate his great victory and the consolidation of the his dynasty, Darius I the Great had an enormous rock relief and a monumental inscription (貝希斯敦銘文) engraved on the rocks of Mount Behistun (貝希斯頓山), at a distance of 150 km west of Hamadan (哈马丹; Ekbatana/埃克巴坦那) in Western Iran (15 m high by 25 m wide and 100 m up the cliff). As it can be easily understood, these events occurred after the assassination of Cambyses, at the very beginning of Darius I the Great's reign.

It goes without saying that the successors of Darius I the Great and the imperial Iranian administration knew perfectly well the historical details and were fully aware of the imperial inscription that immortalized the event, which had obviously become the cornerstone of the imperial education.    

VII. The historical Assyrian Queen Shammuramat and the fictional Queen Semiramis of the 'Ancient Greek sources'

However, one century later, when Ctesias lived in Iran, served the Iranian Emperor, and spoke Old Achaemenid Iranian (and if not, he was surrounded by the Empire's top interpreters and advisers), something disastrously odd 'happened'.

According to Diodorus Siculus, who explicitly stated that he extensively quoted from Ctesias' text (Bibliotheca Historica, II 13), the imperial Carian physician and author appears to have attributed the Behistun inscription and the rock reliefs to none else than the Assyrian Queen Shammuramat (薩穆-拉瑪特), who was the queen consort of the Assyrian Emperor Shamshi Adad V (沙姆什·阿達德五世; reign: 824-811) and co-regent (811-805) during the first years of reign of her son Adad Nirari III (阿达德尼拉里三世; reign: 811-783)!

Furthermore, in the 'Ancient Greek' text of Diodorus Siculus, the monumental inscription was said to be written in Assyrian cuneiform (Συρίοις γράμμασιν)! Even worse, in the same text (as preserved today), it was also stated that, in the rock relief, there was also a representation of the Assyrian queen!

Ctesias' text, as preserved by Diodorus Siculus, is truly abundant in information, but it is historically impossible and therefore entirely forged. Due to this and many other texts, an enormous chasm was unnecessarily formed between

a) the historical queen Shammuramat of Assyria, whose historicity is firmly undeniable, due to the existence of several contemporaneous cuneiform sources excavated in Assyria, and subsequently deciphered and published,

and

b) the purely fictional Assyrian queen Semiramis (沙米拉姆) of the posterior Ancient Greek textual sources that were supposedly 'preserved' (but in reality deliberately distorted and forged) in the Benedictine manuscripts of Western Europe's monasteries.

However, if we examine closely the facts, we will surely understand what truly occurred in this case; then, we will be able to fathom how the fake History of the Western world was fabricated.

The Behistun inscription is trilingual, as it was written in Old Achaemenid Iranian (the earliest form of written Iranian languages), Babylonian, and Elamite; this was a very common practice during the Achaemenid times (550-330 BCE). The main figure of the associated rock relief is Darius I the Great, evidently the representation of a male royal.

One way or another, with respect to the Behistun inscription and rock relief, Ctesias certainly knew everything that we know today after the successive decipherments of the Old Achaemenid, Babylonian and Elamite cuneiform writings, or perhaps even more, due to the then extant oral tradition.

VIII. The malignant intentions of the Benedictine liars: from the historical Darius I the Great to the fictional Semiramis  

The Behistun inscription is not Assyrian; the representation is not that of female royal; and the monument is totally unrelated to Shammuramat, who had lived 300 years before Darius I the Great and 400 years before Artaxerxes II's physician Ctesias. More importantly, by that time, the Assyrian Empire did not occupy the lands surrounding Behistun. Accompanied by Iranian imperial officers and his associates, Ctesias certainly learned all the details of the monumental inscription that we can now read in articles, courses, lectures, books and encyclopedias.

The narrative was a triumph for Darius I the Great and a spectacular rebuttal of the vicious Mithraic Magi who had supported the defeated evil sorcerer and villain Gaumata. Apparently, writing a guidebook for Iran to help marginal people of the Empire's Balkan periphery, Ctesias did not have any reason to say lies. Moreover, we don't have any reason to believe that Diodorus Siculus needed to distort the truth to that extent, when copying and thus preserving Ctesias' masterpiece for the posterity.

However, the transmission of the details about the Behistun inscription embarrassed the Benedictine copyists who wanted to denigrate Darius I the Great and to portray his great empire in a most derogatory manner. They had already proceeded in this manner, distorting other manuscripts, forging texts, and fabricating their pseudo-historical narratives at will.

That is why Ctesias' pertinent text, which had certainly been preserved in its original form within Diodorus Siculus' Bibliotheca Historica, was intentionally distorted by the Benedictine 'Holy Inquisition of Libraries', which fabricated the myths of today's Western world some time after the middle of the 8th c. CE. To be accurate, Ctesias' historical description was entirely replaced by a fictional and historically nonsensical account.

The unbelievable lies -invented and included in Diodorus Siculus' quotations from Ctesias- risked making of the fictional queen Semiramis a world ruler! Whereas the Assyrian Empire at the end of the 9th c. BCE did not control even the western half of today's Iranian territory, the unequivocally mythicized Semiramis had supposedly sent her armies up to India where those fictitious Assyrian soldiers were trampled by the elephants. This worthless narrative that replaced Ctesias' original text may very well have been invented as a 'historical' excuse for Alexander the Great's failure to advance deep inside India.

IX. The vicious distortions of the Benedictine liars: from Ctesias to Herodotus

But if the fictional Semiramis' Indian campaign is entirely false, so are then the preposterous narratives of Herodotus about Darius I the Great's and Xerxes I the Great's campaigns in the insignificant and barbarian circumference of South Balkans. These texts involved evil purposes, heinous anti-Iranian biases, fictional battles, racist discourses, vicious lies, incredibly large number of the Iranian armies, and absurdly high number of Iranian casualties.

The mendacious but idiotic Benedictine monks, who wrote those slander tales did not apparently expect that, sometime in the future, excavations would bring to light splendid Iranian antiquities, original cuneiform documentation, and trustworthy contemporaneous historical sources, whereas a systematic effort of decipherment would offer to people all over the world direct access to historical texts written in dead languages, thus irrevocably canceling Herodotus' nonsensical report and, even more importantly, the later distortions that the Benedictine monks made on their worthless manuscripts.

In any case, had those fictional campaigns against 'Greece' had a shred of truth to them, they would have certainly been documented one way or another in various Old Achaemenid, Babylonian, Elamite, Imperial Aramaic, Egyptian hieroglyphic or other sources; but they were not.

Even worse, the meaningless and ludicrous battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis, and their likes would have been commemorated by the Seleucids, the Ptolemies, and the Attalids all the way down to the Romans and the Eastern Romans. But we know quite well that the nonexistent, fictional past of the so-called Ancient Greek world was absolutely irrelevant to them: precisely because it had not yet been fabricated.

Plea for Jean Baptiste Duroselle's Brilliant Book, Europe: A History of its Peoples

The famous French academician Jean Baptiste Duroselle was commissioned by the Commission of the European Union (European Communities at the time) and Jacques Delors personally to author a European History of Europe, which would justify the establishment of the European Union in the 2nd half of the 20th c. as the crown of all earlier efforts to establish one state across the continent. The book was written in French (L'Europe: histoire de ses peuples, Paris, Perrin, 1990, 708 p.) and it was geared to become (as it really did) the basic textbook of European History for the secondary education of all EU member states. For this reason, numerous translations were produced at the local level, and the book became in this manner the cornerstone of the European identity; as regards countries that were not member-states in 1990 but became later, the book was translated to the official language(s) of each country after its adhesion.

As one could anticipate, the chauvinist, racist, and bogus-European state of Greece made the exception.

Slavs taken for Greeks

Being produced by the colonial powers of France and England as a pseudo-state-tool for Western European schemes against the Ottoman Empire, 'Greece' became for the first time in World History the name of a state, following the treaties of Edirne / Adrianople in 1829 and the London Protocol in 1830. In the past, 'Greek' ('Hellene') was a most pejorative term for more than 1100 years of Christian Roman and Eastern Roman rule (330-1453), whereas 'Greece' was used as a merely geographical term for this marginal and otherwise useless province which was the final receptacle of the 6th c. CE cataclysmic Slavic influx that put an irrevocable end to the existence of the Greek-speaking people in South Balkans. Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus wrote about this fact, but the pseudo-historians of today's racist Greek state get their salaries as fake professors in order to discredit this highly intellectual emperor!

Confession of the Ancient Greek Nothingness

Even before the Christianization of the Roman Empire, the famous Edict of Caracalla (Constitutio Antoniniana; 212 CE) made it clear that there were no 'Greeks' except as a linguistic particularity within the Roman Empire; by unconditionally accepting to become citizens of the Roman Empire, all the Greek speaking people in the Balkans (south of Macedonia), in Anatolia (Asia Minor), and elsewhere admitted that there was no Greek intellectual, ideological, imperial or political, socio-behavioral and state identity. Before the Roman invasion and the subsequent unification of all lands around the Mediterranean, 'Greece' was simply a geographical term denoting lands south of Macedonia and Illyria; but there was no ethnic, tribal, linguistic, intellectual, spiritual, religious -let alone governmental- unity. That is why they were killing one another like flies; and their low level historiographers, who never attained the due spiritual and imperial level initiation to become proper, impersonal and objective, imperial scribes, wrote their nonsense (like Thucydides) uselessly expanding on civil wars – which further proliferated hatred, rancor, strife, enmity and wars among those wretched populations. 

Alexander's Capital was Babylon, not Pella, not Athens!

Only two foreign kings, Philip II of Macedon and his son and successor Alexander, invaded and imposed temporary order on those chaotic elements. But Alexander despised all things Greek, and that's why he chose Babylon as capital and the Sogdian princess Roxanne as wife, after he substituted himself to Darius III, thus becoming the Shah of the Iranian Empire.

Colonial flattery and imperial promises to South Balkan vagabonds

Now, the situation was even worse in the South Balkan confines in 1821-1828, because not even a droplet of Ancient Greek blood could be found in the veins of the local populations of Slavic, Albanian, Turkish, Vlachic, and other origin; they were speaking numerous different languages and the only means of communication among them was Ottoman Turkish. To those misfortunate populations the criminal colonial gangsters, after posturing as 'Philhellenes' and narrating cheap flimflam for idiots, sold the fallacy of a supposedly glorious past of which that wretched populace would be the hypothetical offspring.

Fake Modern Greek language to support Pseudo-Greek Racism

Believing the viciously constructed pseudo-myth of Hellenism, those populations were forced to learn a prefabricated (by the France-based Adamantios Korais) idiom (which was imposed in the schools in a dictatorial and genocidal manner) and were fooled for two consecutive centuries, being incessantly told paranoid lies about the so-called splendor of the fictional Ancient Greeks who 'had civilized the world'. This turned the execrably miserable and ethnically bastard pseudo-nation to exorbitantly arrogant braggarts whose lives depend on ceaselessly and hysterically deprecating all the other, neighboring or not, nations (notably the Macedonians, the Bulgarians, the Albanians, the Turks, and the Iranians) as culturally 'lower' people – whose ancestors were (hypothetically again) 'civilized' by the ancestors of today's Greeks!!!

Today's Greece is indeed the racist state par excellence.

Then, Jean Baptiste Duroselle came!  

With his superb book, Duroselle quasi-automatically ridiculed all the clowns of the Greek bogus-universities (still today, it is prohibited to establish a private university in pseudo-democratic, crypto-totalitarian Greece) whereby ignorant historians, idiotic archaeologists, nonsensical political scientists, clownish Hellenists, and absolutely charlatanesque Byzantinologists (sic!) work (or perform if you like) - not to carry out true, genuine research but to subserviently support the criminal, racist dogma of Hellenism, which is the worst form of Nazism that has ever existed.

The chauvinist pseudo-Greek mob's anger against Duroselle

Then, in 1990, due to the EU demand for a Greek translation of Duroselle's book, all the mental sewerage of the uneducated, ignorant and decrepit Greek mob flooded the mass media spreading unprecedented insults against Duroselle, EU, Europe, European universities and … the rest of the world! The intellectually felonious, academically malodorous, and mentally pathetic professors of universities and academicians of Greece either kept silent or sided with the mob to become more popular as supposedly defending the 'rights' of the 'Greek' nation. This situation testifies to a well-concealed reality; the fake Greeks of the last two centuries, who are in reality a defaced populace deprived of their true Eastern Roman (not 'Byzantine') Orthodox identity, never felt as a 'European' nation. Their immense psychological complex of inferiority is therefore expressed every time a real event underscores that they are a second class, uneducated pseudo-country with no integrity, no discipline, no rule, no morals, and reason of existence.

The southeastern borders of Europe are those of Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria.

I consider as my life's most outstanding achievement and most distinct honor that I defended Jean Baptiste Duroselle personally and his book and academic-intellectual approach against all those rascals (the mob and the Nazi elite and state of Greece), who found my 2800-word Plea for Jean Baptiste Duroselle's book as a good reason to insult me as well and to force me out.

The anti-Duroselle hysteria in Greece and the forthcoming end of Greece

The Plea was published in the Greek weekly Oikonomikos Tahydromos on the 7th February 1991, although it was written and sent on 30th August 1990. It generated more than 30 nonsensical, insulting and ridiculous responses from either biased academics (who wrote against me only to 'justify' the positions that they held without being properly qualified – which is the very common case in the meritless pseudo-state 'Greece') or uneducated mob that mistook the defense of the historical truth by me as personally insulting for them! Such is their depravity that they cannot realize that the only thing that they will finally achieve in this manner is the total nuclear annihilation of Greece.

Beyond Afrocentrism: Prerequisites for Somalia to lead African de-colonization and de-Westernization

What follows is the quasi-totality of my response to a Somali scholar, intellectual and activist, who happened to be a very good personal friend since the early 2010s and my days in Somalia. Being a perspicacious reader, my good friend, who originates from two different tribal backgrounds and has an unmatched knowledge of his great but recently (since 1991) beleaguered nation, noticed several recent articles of mine in which I call for a definite and irreversible replacement of the Anglo-French colonial rule in Africa with a genuine, secular African-Chinese-Indian-Russian alliance.

The Great Cat - Horus (Messiah) defeats the Ancient Serpent - Seth (Anti-Messiah); wall painting from the Tomb of Pashedu (TT3) in Deir el Medina (Luxor West)

Afrocentrism will be a total failure if it is thought to be just an African intellectual's thought, idea, theory or ideology. Theorizing is already part of Western intellectuals' falsehood and evildoing. Philosophy is nonsensical, absurd, false and inhuman. There was never 'philosophy' in Africa, because it would be viewed as deviation and decay. Contrarily, in Ancient Africa there were Truth, Transcendental Spirituality, Primordial Myth, World Conceptualization, Supratemporal Eschatology, and Spiritual-Material Synergy. So, the primary tasks of African Afrocentric intellectuals involve the irrevocable obliteration of all Western terms and their replacement with Oriental African concepts, notions, terms, values and virtues. Consequently, there cannot be "an Afrocentric University", because this term follows a Western pattern. Offering herewith an example, I suggest that every institution in which African students will learn the truth should be called after the Ancient Egyptian term "the Place of Truth" and the instructors "Servants in the Place of Truth". This title was associated at the time with all the great scholars specializing in mummification and in the preparation of the human soul for the Hereafter. However, this has always been the value of life, learning and knowledge according to all the varieties of African culture: material life is subject to moral judgments that enable us to gain eternal life.

Introduction

Realizing what is at stake and being well acquainted with earlier African attempts for a final decolonization (notably the intellectual-academic sphere of Afrocentrism and the political activists of African Renaissance), my friend, who has the same age with me and who studied, lived, worked and prospered in the USSR, Canada, Yemen and Pakistan, wrote to ask me how Somalia could eventually contribute to or lead the African decolonization and de-Westernization movement, thus taking the Black Continent to the next stage and justifying the great expectations that were created across Africa back in 1960, due to the independence and the unification (of only two out of the five parts) of Somalia.

At this point, I have to add that the present response is only the first of three letters that I planned to send to my friend. The urgent need for worldwide decolonization and de-Westernization has become a major issue for great nations, organizations and alliances, like the BRICS+. Many people across the world would therefore question the entire conversation, stating that presently Somalia is too small, too weak, and too disunited in order to possibly undertake international tasks that seem to be best suited rather to some of the world's leading states.

I believe that, although this approach may be shared by many people, it is ostensibly very shallow. This is so because stronger a nation is, more difficult it becomes for their rulers, elites, and people to undertake an in-depth self-criticism, reassessment, and restart or partly rectification. In other words, a better organized nation is by definition more conservative and therefore less inclined to changes; these traits and conditions have been attested repeatedly throughout History.

Consequently, when it comes to colonization and Westernization, self-scrutiny must be very deep, and this -at the national level- can be extremely painful. That is why, in Russia, de-Westernization will be a far more difficult process to be carried out than in India.

Taken into consideration that Westernization (not only behavioral-cultural but mainly educational-academic-intellectual) is tantamount to alteration, corruption and degeneration, one has to underscore at this point that national identity is not necessarily proportionate to national independence. It is quite possible that an educationally-academically-intellectually corrupted nation, although in possession of an independent state, has minimal national consciousness (because of their entirely Westernized education), whereas an enslaved nation struggling to achieve national independence may have fully preserved their national identity and intellectual originality.

Back in January 2021, I explained exactly this to an Oromo friend, who wrote to ask me why Egypt does not help the Oromo liberation movements achieve national independence for Oromia and in the process demolish the obsolete and genocidal state of Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia). Egypt is an independent state without national consciousness of historicity whereas the Oromos are a non-independent nation with emphatically strong Cushitic national identity and cultural originality. It took me a series of five articles to fully respond at the time; in the last article of the series, one can find titles of and links to the earlier parts:

Contrary to Oromos & Somalis, the Masriyin (Christian or Muslim Egyptians), as subjects of the Mamluks and the French, have had no National

First published on 28th January 2021 here: https://megalommatis.wordpress.com/2021/01/28/contrary-to-oromos-somalis-the-masriyin-christian-o

I expand on these topics, because there is a multitude of parameters in the much needed effort of African decolonization and educational-academic-intellectual de-Westernization. To offer an example, I have to say that even the nefarious term "university" (from the Latin "universitas") cannot be possibly accepted by all those who -in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America- seek decolonization, de-Westernization, and restoration of the ancestral values, moral standards, cultural integrity, and academic-educational traditions. This is however discussed in a second letter dispatched to my friend. Last, in a third letter, I examine a number of major issues around which the refutation of the Western colonial forgery and pseudo-historical doctrine will have to revolve.

---------------------- Letter to a Somali friend -----------------------

Thank you for the opportunity you offer me to write down my observations, perceptions, reflections, and conclusions on the topic under discussion!

I. Decolonization and the failure of the Afrocentric Intelligentsia

Several educational, academic, intellectual and political efforts have been undertaken over the past six (6) decades in order to take Africa out of the disastrous and heavy, colonial impact and to help the various nations of the Black Continent achieve national identity, cultural integrity, and ultimate liberation from the Western yoke.

Explaining why the Afrocentric African intellectuals failed (or at least they did not meet the early enthusiastic expectations) necessitates an extremely lengthy treatise the size of an encyclopedia; however, at this moment, I have to pinpoint the crucial mistakes made by the leading figures of the movement that became known as Afrocentrism.

To offer beforehand a recapitulative judgment, I would say that they all viewed their tasks within a far narrower context, thus minimizing the extent of the work that lies ahead.

They did not realize the importance of inter-African concertation, reciprocal knowledge, and systematized cooperation.

They failed to evaluate the extent to which they all have been altered, Westernized, and alienated from their t=roots.

They did not examine how sick, absurd, criminal, and inhuman the Western world was - even before colonizing Africa and other parts of the world.

And they did not consider as their priority to contact other colonized nations in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, to exchange descriptions of common experience, and to decide about their much needed common struggle and decolonization effort.

II. Afrocentric African scholars should have been taken Egyptology back from the Western Orientalists and Africanists 

First and foremost, their overall mental and intellectual endeavor was utterly wrong, misplaced, upended, and factitious. Although this statement seems to be extremely disappointing and perhaps even unfair, it is not. When people like Cheikh Anta Diop and Molefi Kete Asante decided to oppose the colonial powers and their historical distortions by means of Afrocentrism, they acted (without even understanding it) as typical Western intellectuals or philosophers.  

The Afrocentric African intellectuals thought that their own African culture could give them the foremost insignia of originality, but this was a wrong assumption. Unfortunately, they never questioned their authenticity and they failed to notice that they had already been exposed to overwhelming colonial impact at the mental, intellectual, educational, academic and scientific levels. So, they did not even imagine that they had first to methodically filter their mindsets, concepts and beliefs, and to remove the clutter. They did not realize that they had first to thoroughly study in-depth Egyptian hieroglyphics, Ancient Egyptian civilization, and the History of Egypt down to Modern Times in order to have access to the foremost African past.  

This would not be an easy task, because they would have to take Egyptological courses mainly in French- or English-speaking countries (or alternatively in Italy, Germany, Russia, Austria, Poland or Egypt - without however major differences in the syllabus, methodology or apparoach). In these countries' academic institutions, their professors would teach and propagate the compact, pseudo-historical dogma, which has progressively covered all sectors of Humanities and which was geared in order to historically legitimize and consolidate the Western colonial power at the educational, intellectual, and academic levels. This Western historical forgery is at the origin of every colonial evildoing, because it stipulates the preposterous Western supremacy, it defines the cruel and inhuman West as 'the realm of civilization', it denigrates all the other great nations (not only Africans) as barbarians, and it offers to the Western gangsters the foremost pretext to colonize the world.

So, as Afrocentric African students, they would have to meticulously search, find out, and identify -in the manuals that they would study and in the courses that they would attend- endless inaccuracies, deliberate errors, obvious lies, and a multitude of techniques geared by Western Egyptologists in order to distort the historical truth and to adjust all newly found data to the arbitrarily preconceived and shamelessly pronounced diagram of World Pseudo-History that the evil intellectuals of Western European Renaissance composed in the 15th and the 16th centuries, before sending their heinous, anti-Christian, barbarian and racist conquistadors and rascals to invade the rest of the world and carry out unstoppable series of genocides.

This means that, instead of blindly accepting their Western professors' assumptions and teachings, the Afrocentric African students of Western Egyptologists should scrutinize every single word, argumentation, conclusion, pretension, interpretation, lecture and publication of their professors, denounce -point by point- every single case of falsehood or deliberate distortion, and reject the Western Egyptology across the board.  

The task of the first Afrocentric African Egyptologists would be immense, involving

a) the publication of encyclopedias and books, academic periodicals, and secondary education manuals, and

b) extensive activities in terms of science popularization in newspapers, reviews, movies and TV programs – all available in many African languages, not in French and English.

All the criminal lies of the Western Eurocentric Egyptologists should be ferociously denounced, whereas Egypt, Sudan and Libya should be persuasively asked by all the other African states to effectively ban every Western European, Australian, and North American Egyptologist and Egyptological mission member, who did not denounce the fallacies of Eurocentrism, Judeo-Christian tradition, Greco-Roman civilization, Hellenism, Classicism and Renaissance. 

To give you an approximate idea, if the aforementioned development had taken place at the time, by now there would have been formed several hundreds of Afrocentric African Egyptologists teaching factual, truthful and unadulterated Egyptology in more than a hundred universities across the Black Continent. You certainly can fathom what a devastating blow against the Western European and North American colonial academia this development would have been.

Contrarily to this indispensable task and inevitable priority, the first Afrocentric African Egyptologists were merely theorizing in a most harmless manner, while having a very shallow understanding of Ancient Egypt. As a matter of fact, they never challenged, let alone endangered, the academic, educational and intellectual interests and biases of the Western colonial elites. Even worse, they intended to make political use of the Ancient Egyptian heritage; but this was really calamitous because "politics" is an entirely Modern Western fabrication that did not exist in the past in Africa, Asia or Europe. There will never be decolonization with politics anywhere, because there was no politics before the colonial era.  

More importantly, the aforementioned approach, which applies to Egyptology, should have also been followed in all the other sectors of Humanities that concern Pre-Islamic Africa, namely Meroitic-Cushitic Studies, Axumite Abyssinian Studies (to best document the Yemenite, non-African, origin of the Axumites), Punt and Ancient Somali Studies, Punic (Carthaginian) Studies, Libyco-Berber Studies, Late Antiquity Africa, and African Christianity.

III. Western Usurpation of African Heritage must be canceled.

In addition to the aforementioned, the Afrocentric African Egyptologists should undertake another, turly enormous endeavor, namely the ultimate denunciation and the irrevocable cancellation of the Western usurpation of a sizeable part of African and Asiatic historical heritage. Example:

Plotinus (204-270), who was an Egyptian mystic, erudite scholar, and spiritual master, has been distortedly named as "Greek Platonist philosopher" by the racist, colonial forgers of Western universities; but Plotinus was born in today's Asyut (Zawty in Egyptian Hieroglyphics; Syowt in Coptic; Lycopolis in Ancient Greek) in Central Egypt. He was an Egyptian, and his spiritual doctrine was entirely Egyptian; Plotinus wrote in Ancient Greek only to further propagate his knowledge, wisdom and world conceptualization, but his knowledge of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics is unquestionable.

Would it be therefore normal to consider an African American as an Anglo-Saxon only because he writes in English?

Many non-specialists may wish to formulate another question about Plotinus:

Why do then Western forgers call Plotinus "a Platonist philosopher"?

This is simple to answer.

Plato had traveled and studied in Egypt; in fact, his theories and world views are not his, but have derived from well-known, fundamental Ancient Egyptian concepts of transcendental knowledge, spirituality, moral, and world conceptualization. The underlying nature of Plato's so-called philosophy is the Ancient Egyptian Iwnw (Heliopolitan) dogma (also called among Greeks as "the Ennead"), i.e. one of the most influential religions of Ancient Egypt, which progressively spread throughout the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. So, Plotinus is a valuable part of Ancient African heritage that has been usurped after it was labeled "Greek" by the racist and criminal French, English and American academics and forgers.

Another example is offered by Porphyry of Tyre (234-305), Plotinus' student; he was a Phoenician spiritual master, cosmologist, mathematician, intellectual, debater, and author. Although Assyrian-Babylonian spirituality, science and wisdom are evident in his works, Western academic fraudsters still call him "Neo-platonic philosopher", which is another blatant case of Western usurpation of Oriental Asiatic heritage.  

There is nothing "Greek", nothing "European", and nothing "Western", in the highly valuable works of those great spiritual mystics and erudite scholars; they were genuinely Oriental, either African or Asiatic. But faithless, atheist, and materialist forgers of the Western universities have ludicrously labeled all these great masters "philosophers", thus propagating the use of a profane word, which during the Antiquity was of low connotation, because it was in straight opposition to words such as "wise", "sacred", "venerated", "pious", and "consecrated".

Compared to the high priests of Egypt, Cush/Meroe, Punt/Somalia, Carthage, Phoenicia, Assyria and Iran, the so-called Ancient Greek and Roman "philosophers" constituted villainous and degenerate evildoers. The profanity of those corrupt, obscene and barbarian malefactors (like the Epicureans) is beyond description, as they pretended that Man has the right to perform all the absurd crimes and the most repugnant sins if this is 'good' for his sensual pleasures.    

No Afrocentric African Egyptologists and Africanists will ever do good service to the Black Continent, their national identity, their cultural integrity, and the values and virtues of their ancestors, if they do not irrevocably reject the Western usurpation of Oriental heritage; actually, it is their obligation to irreversibly eradicate the last shred of Western impact on African education, academic knowledge, intellectual life, and moral tradition.  

IV. Afrocentrism had to encompass severe criticism and total rejection of the so-called Western Civilization

Second, the overall mental and intellectual endeavor of the Afrocentric African intellectuals was definitely incomplete. Not only they did not study Egyptology to acquire access into the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic sources that constitute the utmost African originality, but they also failed to duly explore, analyze and criticize the Modern Western world. All the same, they would have two major tasks in this regard; more specifically, they had to first, evaluate the Western world on the basis of their own African criteria and values, and second, publish their argumentations, evaluations, and conclusions.   

As a matter of fact, they had to ultimately investigate the so-called Western world per se, identify its nature and origin, describe the process of its fabrication, denounce its unreliability and inhumanity, and discredit the Western intellectuals' conclusions, assumptions, pretensions, and fake stories. In other words, they had to effectively check whether the so-called Western world was anything more than spiritual corruption, deliberate alteration, and degenerate disfigurement of a part of the Ancient Oriental world.

This is a very critical point; although no Afrocentric African Egyptologists and Africanists have been formed until now (in order to subsequently re-establish an Afrocentric version of Egyptology and of several other related fields of Humanities), African universities have been flooded with numerous types of absurd, preposterous Western propaganda, notably the academic fields of French Literature, Art, History and Culture, English Literature, Art, History and Culture, Italian Literature, Art, History and Culture, Modern European Philosophy, etc.

All these fields have been accepted and developed in African universities; and the contents of numerous syllabuses were instructed to African students on African soil. This was carried out very thoughtlessly and extremely disastrously. Due to this situation, a great number of texts written by Western poets, playwrights, authors, philosophers and others were diffused among African populations. This means that immoral concepts, evil plots, inhuman stories, criminal ideas, vicious thoughts, counterfeit values, and execrable vices made their way into the hearts and the minds of millions of innocent Africans, fully corrupting them and effectively destroying their culture. This very deceitful and extremely pernicious method made many Africans unconsciously accept what would be impermissible for their parents' and ancestors' standards, values, and measures to tolerate.  

It is most unfortunate that the Afrocentric intelligentsia of Africa failed to make it clear that no Western European and Northern American text can be taught, studied, printed or diffused on African soil, if it does not comprehensively comply with African values, virtues and traditions. Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, William Shakespeare, François Rabelais, Joachim du Bellay, Montesquieu, Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, Rudyard Kipling, Albert Camus, Agatha Christie, and scores of other supposedly important, valuable or even acceptable authors are absolutely pathetic and worthless when evaluated as per African moral values, measures and cultural criteria.

In fact, most of these pathetic, anomalous and evil individuals were heinous fanatics, paranoid fraudsters, and abhorrent sinners, who carried out crimes, propagated evildoing, despised their fellow countrymen, and promoted immoral manners and unethical behavior. They were abnormal to the extent of loathing and reviling the Christian culture of the societies in which they belonged and which they wanted to destroy. Clearly, there is only one reason for which Agatha Christie's novels (to offer an example) could be accepted as a study topic in African universities: in order to castigate the evil plot and to articulate a devastating critique of English Literature on the basis of African moral considerations, traditional values, and literary standards.

V. Afrocentrism as a form of African Isolationism drawing a line of separation between colonized nations in Africa and Asia

Third, the overall mental and intellectual endeavor of the Afrocentric African intellectuals proved also to be disturbingly egocentric; this is due to the fact that the interpretation of their approach leads us to the conclusion that they considered the colonial wrongdoings as necessary to eliminate only from Africa. In other words, they failed to notice that Africa was only one of the colonial powers' targeted lands or continents and that the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the English, the French, the Dutch, and the Belgians also colonized vast territories in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Last, they did not take into account that the Western colonial practices have been continued by several derivative states of the colonial powers, notably the US, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.

It would however be very helpful for all the Afrocentric African intellectuals to examine how the Ottoman Empire (one of African History's largest empires), Iran, the Mughal Empire of India, China, and even Russia were systematically and incessantly targeted by the colonial empires of the West. Furthermore, it would be very useful for those intellectuals to observe and assess that, for the colonial powers, the military occupation or the political dependence of a land, nation or kingdom is not the only means of effectively impacting a colony and introducing it into the colonial metropolis' sphere of influence.

Russia was never occupied militarily by the Western colonial powers, but from the beginning of the 18th c., the Romanov dynasty was targeted with a sophisticated and multifaceted process of Westernization (Europeanization) to which many Russian nobles, clerics and intellectuals reacted ferociously. It is quite telling that the Imperial Russian elite was successfully dragged to the extent of becoming an ally of the atheist and profane state of France (instead of naturally siding with Germany and Austria-Hungary), only to be exhausted in WW I, defeated by the Germans, and replaced by the Communists, who were totally alien to Russian culture.

This shows that to best serve African nations' interests and anticolonial vocation, the Afrocentric intelligentsia of Africa should enlarge their horizons, see Africa as only one colonially targeted land or continent, and enrich their knowledge and experience with the study of non-African civilizations, lands and nations that have also been colonized by the Western colonial powers. No one can possibly assess the historical distortions made by the Western academics during the formulation of their bogus-historical dogma, without duly delving into numerous fields of Humanities and fully checking endless inaccuracies, deliberate errors, obvious lies and a multitude of techniques geared by Western scholars in fields like Assyriology, Hittitology, Iranology, Biblical Studies, Indology, Islamology, Turkology, Slavic and Russian Studies, and Sinology.

VI. General estimation of the human resources, the time, and the cost needed

The aforementioned criticism may now help as a guideline for the future; what was not achieved in the past can be attempted now. Presently, perhaps the international context is more favorable to such an effort. Speaking for a middle-size African state, such as Algeria (in guise of an example), the effort to launch numerous sectors of Humanities, as new academic fields entirely free of colonial falsehood and distortion, would not be difficult to undertake. All the same, it would certainly demand perfect conceptualization of the commendable objective and proper contextualization within the international community. As it consists in a project of national and all-African dimensions, it should be placed under central (governmental) guidance and supervision.

It goes without saying that a project this important would also involve fully committed students, who would be absolutely conscious of the national and all-African character of the undertaking, and of their role in it. They should first be prepared during a 3 or 4-year syllabus (leading to a B.A.) and then financially supported during their graduate, postgraduate and doctoral studies. They should finally be committed to

a) returning to their 'alma mater',

b) being appointed there, and

c) launching a new department of studies in the sector in which they would have already been specialized.

To give an estimate, this national and all-African project (covering sectors named or insinuated in the aforementioned parts II, III, IV and V) would encompass around 50 (fifty) different sectors of Humanities. Selecting 10 (ten) genuinely interested and devoted students, who would be ready to specialize in the designated fields and return to be employed, means a total of 500 students, i.e. 500 scholarships for 10 years, and one secretariat in order to adequately administer the whole project. For a country like Eritrea or Mauritania, this would certainly be difficult to undertake, but for Algeria it is affordable. It would not exceed 100 million US$ for the entire period (including also the infrastructure and the establishment of basic libraries).

It would not only be a historic investment in terms of National and All-African Education, but it would also constitute a formerly colonized nation's most radical, resolute and drastic step out of the colonial era. In other words, in 15 (fifteen) years, an effort of such magnitude would bring forth results that would be exponentially greater than what the reputed Institute of African Studies of the University of Ghana achieved in more than 60 years (it was incepted in 1962).

VII. Decolonization means above all De-Anglicization and De-Francization

The previous paragraphs contain a brief criticism of the Afrocentric movement and at the same time reveal why it failed to bring forth substantive results. As a matter of fact, it should have started with an in-depth effort of self-knowledge. Today, in reality, Africans do not know one another, and if they do, this happens at a so superficial level that it is insignificant. This is exactly what I wrote before more than 10 years in a presentation which was widely publicized in Nigeria:

academia.edu

AFRICAN RENAISSANCE UNIVERSITY A VISION

Proposals for the establishment of the first Afrocentric University in Africa

There is no African unity, no African identity, and no African interconnection, when Africans need colonial nations' languages (English and French) to communicate with one another. In this regard, it is essential at this point to highlight that the current political appearance and the political map of Africa are also of entirely colonial nature; it is what the colonial powers wanted to impose on the Black Continent. That's why it cannot be taken seriously into account.   

Any genuine and integer African cannot accept the colonial falsehood as per which Arabic is the main language throughout North Africa. This 'happens' only according to the Orientalist falsehood and due to colonial involvement and interference. In reality, Berber (Amazigh) is the main language throughout North Africa, and all the Africans, who deny this reality, are -quite unfortunately- victims of the colonial powers and of the delusion that European Orientalist and Africanist academics methodically created in order to effectively prevent Africans from achieving true nation building. Then, this implies that there should be Departments of Berber Language and Culture in at least 15 African countries. A Hausa-speaking Nigerian, a Somali, and a Swahili-speaking Kenyan should have the chance (in the perspective of 15 years after the beginning of the herein described educational-academic-intellectual decolonization project in their respective countries) of learning Berber in their high school. Similarly, an Algerian, a Moroccan, a Tunisian or a Libyan should have the chance of learning Hausa, Somali or Swahili in their relevant high schools.

More than 10 million people in Egypt are Copts; for a real African and Afrocentric thinker, the absence of Departments of Coptic Language, Literature and Theology is one of the worst results of the colonial rule throughout Africa. Somalia is an entirely Muslim country; yet, a Department of Coptology would be necessary in Somalia, because only then all the Somalis would understand the historical dependence of the Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians on the Copts, the existing differences between the Amhara and the Copts of Egypt, the pseudo-Christian nature of the Amhara, the reason for which the Christian Orthodox Oromos rejected to have any connection with the Amhara and were (few years ago) directly connected to Copts (the Coptic Patriarchate of Alexandria), and many other similar issues.

To underscore few specific points around which Somali Education, Academic Research, and National Building become one unitary endeavor, I would say the following: if the Amhara tribe and the Abyssinian colonial state proved to be a serious problem and a real threat for Somalia and the Somalis, it is then a national obligation of the Somali government to form a small force of academic specialists, who by studying and learning Coptic language, Coptic cult, Coptic theology, and History of the Coptic Church, will be able to advise correctly on all topics related to the Amhara Abyssinians and to the reason of their hatred of Somalia, Egypt, Islam, and Coptic Christianity. Furthermore, these Somali scholars will be able to unveil to many other Christian Africans the anti-Christian nature of the Amhara and their leaders.

For this to happen, after a first 3 or 4-year curriculum (leading to a B.A.), a Somali graduate should first choose this field as the main objective of his professional academic career; at the same time, he will have to be fully conscious of the fact that his desire to study Coptic in Egypt, specialize in Coptology, and become an expert on the matter does not constitute only his own career choice, but it is also a matter of national importance for Somalia. For this to be confirmed, governmental scholarships will have to be announced and offered for a certain number of years. 

A certain perspective has to be given to similar projects leading to the preparation and the launching of a Department of Coptology in Somalia. As I already said at the end of part VI), if we calculate a) the first circle of studies that will lead to a B.A. in Somalia (during which the selection of one or two candidates for specific scholarship for Coptic Studies will take place), b) the postgraduate & doctoral studies (5-7 years) that the Somali graduates will undertake, and c) their return to Somalia in order to launch for the first time a Department of Coptology, it will take ca. 10 years until the state of Somalia establishes a pertinent educational-academic foundation in this regard.

If this is what is needed for the launching of Coptic Studies in Somalia, similar effort has to be deployed for the establishment of many other sectors of Humanities. It will be a matter of Somali students' commitment and Somali government's investment in a national and all-African cause.

Επίλογος

Α. Πνευματικότητα, Θρησκείες, Θεολογίες και Ιδεολογίες

Οι δρόμοι του Ανθρώπου προς τον Θεό είναι άπειροι. Το ίδιο άτομο μπορεί να διέλθει πολλούς διαφορετικούς δρόμους στην πορεία του προς τον Θεό. Οι γνωστές ιστορικές θρησκείες αποτελούν -στην αρχή τους- προσπάθειες ένταξης της κοινωνίας σε δρόμους που οδηγούν στον Θεό. Αλλά πολύ συχνά οι πίστεις αλλοιώθηκαν, τα κηρύγματα παραχαράχθηκαν, και το αρχικό νόημα των θρησκειών εξαφανίστηκε. Αυτό μάλιστα φαίνεται στον πολιτισμό των εθνών ο οποίος αποτελεί την κοίτη από όπου προέρχονται οι θρησκείες, ενώ παράλληλα διαμορφώνεται και από αυτές, καθώς και από την εξέλιξη ή φθορά τους.

Και ενώ η πορεία προς τον Θεό αποτελεί αυτό το οποίο καλούμε πνευματικότητα (spirituality), η απόπειρα ερμηνείας της θρησκείας δημιουργεί μία όλως διαφορετική οντότητα, την θεολογία. Συχνά-πυκνά, η θεολογία αλλοιώνει την θρησκεία, την οποία υποτίθεται ότι ερμηνεύει, και ακόμη συχνώτερα στρέφεται εναντίον όλων όσοι αφοσιώνονται στην πνευματικότητα. Αυτό συμβαίνει επειδή η πνευματικότητα δεν είναι κοινωνικό φαινόμενο παρά μόνον στον βαθμό της ύπαρξης ενός οργανωμένου κύκλου πιστών αφοσιωμένων στην μύηση και στην εξάσκηση πάνω στους δρόμους της ανθρώπινης πορείας προς τον Θεό. Και ενώ η θρησκεία επιχειρεί να καταστήσει την πνευματικότητα σεβαστή, ελκυστική, αποδεκτή, προσιτή και εφικτή για όλους, η θεολογία κατά κανόνα σκοτώνει την πενυματικότητα.

Αυτό συμβαίνει επειδή η θεολογία, ως απόλυτα κοινωνικό φαινόμενο εξαιτίας της λειτουργικότητάς της να εξηγήσει την θρησκεία, συνιστά κατά κανόνα έκφραση ανθρώπινου συλλογισμού, άχρηστου στοχασμού, αχρείαστης σκέψης, υλι(στι)κής πρόσληψης, λαθεμένης κατανόησης (της θρησκείας), άγονης επιχειρηματολογίας, και ντε φάκτο προκαταδικασμένης ορθολογιστικής προσέγγισης. Όλα αυτά στρέφονται κατά της πνευματικότητας.

Ο Θεός δεν προσεγγίζεται ορθολογικά, επειδή ο ορθολογισμός, ή απλά η ανθρώπινη λογική, είναι τμήμα της Πτώσης του Ανθρώπου, και συνεπώς ο αρχικός άνθρωπος ήταν ασυγκρίτως υπεράνω των αχρήστων στο Ψυχικό Σύμπαν εννοιών, λειτουργιών και συνθηκών της 'γλώσσας', της 'γραφής', της 'σκέψης', της 'λογικής', καθώς και της κοινωνίας'. Η δε ψυχική κοινότητα είναι ολότελα διαφορετική της γνωστής υλικής.

Ναι, βεβαίως και υπήρξαν ιερά βιβλία σε πολλές θρησκείες, αλλά σύμφωνα με όλες τις θρησκείες δεν υπήρξε κανένα ιερό βιβλίο πριν από την Πτώση του Ανθρώπου. Τα ιερά βιβλία, όπως και τα κηρύγματα των Προφητών, είναι κλήσεις για επαναφορά στον αρχικό Κώδικα της Δημιουργίας, ο οποίος ήταν έμφυτος στον Αδάμ: αυτόν ακριβώς αποκαλούμε 'Ηθική'. Για κάθε άνθρωπο, δεν υπάρχει Ζωή χωρίς Ηθική. Αν πολλοί νομίζουν ότι μπορούν να υπάρχουν χωρίς Ηθική, αυτή και μόνον η εικασία τους καθιστά ζωντανούς-νεκρούς – ζόμπι. 

Αργά αλλά σταθερά, οι θεολογίες -ως παρασιτικά φυτά- κουκούλωσαν τις θρησκείες και έπνιξαν την πνευματικότητα. Ένα τέτοιο παράδειγμα στον χώρο του Ισλάμ είναι η απαγόρευση του τάγματος των Μπεκτασήδων στην δεκαετία του 1820 κατόπιν της επιμονής των περί τον σουλτάνο θεολόγων. Καθώς αυτό το βαθειά αντι-ισλαμικό μέτρο υλοποιήθηκε παράλληλα με την ακόμη πιο καταστροφική απόφαση σχετικά με την κατάργηση του στρατιωτικού σώματος των Γενιτσάρων, η καταρρέουσα από τους κρετίνους ιμάμηδες και τους ηλίθιους σεϊχουλισλάμηδες Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία οδηγείτο με μαθηματική ακρίβεια προς εξαφάνισιν. Και όντως αυτό έτσι συνέβηκε.

Ακόμη χειρότερα, η άνοδος στην εξουσία εγκληματικών σατανιστικών οργανώσεων στην Δυτική Ευρώπη του 15ου αιώνα, ο εκ μέρους τους έλεγχος της εκεί εξουσίας, και στην συνέχεια, η αποικιοκρατική κατάκτηση του κόσμου απετέλεσαν ένα συθέμελο κτύπημα εναντίον όλων των πολιτισμών, των αυτοκρατοριών, των θρησκειών και των κατά τόπους μυστικών οργανώσεων που συγκέντρωναν ακόμη σημαντικό αριθμό μυστών και ψυχικών ασκητών. Η δυτική αποικιοκρατία επέβαλε σχεδόν παντού την σατανική πνευματικότητα, τον θρησκευτικό προσηλυτισμό και τις συνεπακόλουθες διαιρέσεις, καθώς και τοπικές εξουσίες που, όντας δουλικές προς τους Δυτικούς, εργάζονταν για την καταστροφή των χωρών και των ομοεθνών τους.

Καθώς στην Δυτική Ευρώπη, άθλιες και άχρηστες θεωρίες, διεστραμμένες σκέψεις, ανοησίες ταμπελισμένες ως "φιλοσοφίες", και παρανοϊκά θεωρητικά συστήματα ετοιμάζονταν και διαδίδονταν με παγκοσμίως καταστρεπτικό σκοπό, οι ακαδημαϊκές ελίτ των αποικιοκρατών με σκοπό την επιβολή τους έδωσαν μεγάλη σημασία στο να μετατρέψουν συστηματικά τα κατά τόπους χείριστα θεολογικά συστήματα σε απλά ιδεολογήματα ώστε να τραβήξουν όλους τους εκεί πιστούς ακόμη πιο μακριά από την πνευματικότητα, την ηθική, την θρησκεία, την λαϊκή θρησκεία, την παράδοση, και την όλη παιδεία τους. Έτσι, βαθμιαία σβύστηκε η μη σατανική πνευματικότητα και ξέφτισαν όλες οι θρησκείες – με μικρή ίσως εξαίρεση εκείνες των πλέον μικρών και απόμακρων εθνών των οποίων το δύσβατο της γης χρησίμευσε ως ασπίδα κατά της αποικιοκρατίας, των άθλιων δυτικών ιδεολογημάτων, και του απάνθρωπου, διεστραμμένου μοντερνισμού.

Οπότε, σήμερα (ήδη από τα τέλη του 18ου, τις αρχές του 19ου αιώνα, και τις απαρχές της αγγλο-γαλλικής αποικιοκρατίας), όποιος αποδέχεται ή προσχωρεί σε μία άλλη θρησκεία, ουσιαστικά πιστεύει ένα ιδεολόγημα του οποίου το σημείο αναφοράς είναι η θρησκεία, την οποία ο νεοφώτιστος νομίζει ότι ευαγγελίζεται. Το αφήγημα της θρησκείας μπορεί να παραμένει το ίδιο, η θεολογική προσέγγιση μπορεί να είναι η ίδια, αλλά το όλο σύνολο έχει ιδεολογικοποιηθεί, κάτι που αυτόματα σημαίνει 'δυτικοποιηθεί'. Έτσι, το πραγματικό νόημα και η αληθινή αίσθηση της υποκείμενης θρησκείας έχουν χαθεί ανεπιστρεπτί. Μόνον όποιος ακολουθήσει τον δύσκολο δρόμο της ανασύστασης της θρησκείας στην οποία έχει προσχωρήσει μπορεί να αντιληφθεί πόσο διαφορετικός ήταν ένας Ιουδαίος των χρόνων του Μαϊμονίδη (1138-1204), ένας χριστιανός της εποχής του Μιχαήλ Ψελλού (1018-1078), και ένας μουσουλμάνος του καιρού του Νεζαμί Γκαντζεβί (1141-1209) από τους συγχρόνους ομολόγους τους.

Β. Αποδοχή μιας άλλης θρησκείας και δράση προσηλύτων

Βεβαίως, καμμία κοινωνική κατάσταση δεν προκαθορίζει αναγκαστικά την πορεία ενός ανθρώπου προς τον Θεό. Υπάρχουν πολλοί που επηρεάζονται από κοινωνικές περιστάσεις, οπότε ψυχικώς είναι νεκροί, και υπάρχουν πολλοί που ακούνε το κάλεσμα για την μόνη υπαρκτή πραγματικότητα: το ψυχικό σύμπαν. Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο κάποιος αλλάζει θρήσκευμα ποικίλει. Είναι προτιμώτερο να δεχθούμε ότι ο κάθε άνθρωπος αποτελεί μία ξεχωριστή και μεμονωμένη περίσταση, παρά να αποπειραθούμε να κατηγοριοποιήσουμε σαν να ήμασταν θεράποντες της ολότελα ανύπαρκτης ψευδο-επιστήμης της 'κοινωνιολογίας'.

Έτσι, για να δώσω απλώς μερικά παραδείγματα, μπορεί κάποιος να ακούσει ένα εσωτερικό (ψυχικό) κάλεσμα και να βρει τις αρχές και τα διδάγματα μιας θρησκείας εγγύτερα στην προσωπικότητά του, απορρίπτοντας έτσι την πίστη την οποία πιο πριν επρέσβευε, και μπορεί κάποιος άλλος να απορρίψει την θρησκεία του για ιστορικούς λόγους, αντιλαμβανόμενος ότι αποτελεί αλλοίωση ενός αρχικώς σωστού κηρύγματος, και αργότερα να αποδεχθεί μίαν άλλη, επειδή την ερμηνεύει ως την ορθή συνέχεια ενός διαχρονικού κηρύγματος αφοσίωσης στον Θεό.    

Επίσης ποικίλει ιδιαίτερα και η δράση δύο νεοφώτιστων σε μία θρησκεία άλλη από εκείνη των προγόνων τους. Κάποιος μπορεί να θελήσει να δει την νέα θρησκεία του στις πραγματικές διαστάσεις της, δηλαδή ως ένα ιστορικό φαινόμενο, το οποίο συμπεριλαμβάνει όχι μόνον την σχετική πνευματικότητα, μυστικισμό, λατρεία, ηθική, αρχές και αξίες, αλλά και την λαϊκή θρησκεία, τα γράμματα, τις τέχνες, τις επιστήμες, την αρχιτεκτονική, όπως επίσης και το σχετικό φιλοσοφικό σύστημα συμπεριφοράς, και έτσι να καταλάβει την ιστορική πραγματικότητα της εν λόγω θρησκείας ασυγκρίτως καλλίτερα ακόμη και από τους προύχοντες και τους αξιωματούχους της θρησκείας αυτής. Κάποιος άλλος μπορεί να αρκεστεί στην απλή ανάγνωση, μελέτη και αποδοχή των ιερών κειμένων της νέας θρησκείας του, να αποδεχθεί μία από τις αρκετές υπαρκτές θεολογικές ερμηνείες τους, και να θεωρήσει υποχρέωσή του να καταστήσει την νέα θρησκεία του γνωστή σε πολλούς άλλους που δεν την γνωρίζουν.

Μία θρησκεία δεν είναι θρησκεία, αν δεν διεκδικήσει την αποκλειστικότητα στην σωτηρία για όλους τους ανθρώπους, αλλά ποτέ ένα αρχικό κήρυγμα ή σύστημα ψυχικών-ηθικών αξιών, από το οποίο έχει προκύψει μία θρησκεία, δεν διεκδίκησε κάτι τέτοιο ειμή μόνον στις αρχικές κοινωνίες μέχρι τον Κατακλυσμό. Αλλά εκεί επρόκειτο για μία γενικευμένη αντιπαράθεση ανάμεσα στο Καλό και στο Κακό. Ούτε ο Μωϋσής, ούτε ο Ιωνάς, ούτε ο Ιησούς, ούτε ο Μωάμεθ μπορούσαν άλλωστε να διεκδικήσουν την αποκλειστικότητα, δεδομένου ότι όλοι τους εμφαντικά ανάγονταν και συχνά αναφέρονταν σε πρότερα κηρύγματα και μορφές μονοθεϊστικής πίστης. Ασφαλώς και απεσαφήνισαν ότι υπάρχει μία διαρκής αποκλειστικότητα, αλλά αυτή αφορά τον ορθό δρόμο προς τον Θεό. Ο δρόμος αυτός όμως παρέχει απέραντη ποικιλία πορειών...

Τίποτα δεν αποδεικνύει την αλήθεια του πρότερου ισχυρισμού μου περί μετατροπής όλων των θρησκειών σε ιδεολόγίες μέσα στα πλαίσια των συγχρόνων κοινωνιών (οι οποίες είναι σχεδόν όλες παράγωγα αποικιοκρατίας) καλλίτερα από το γεγονός ότι σήμερα πολλοί άνθρωποι, οι οποίοι αποδέχονται μία άλλη 'θρησκεία' (διάβαζε: 'ιδεολογία'), επιδιώκουν συχνά να προσηλυτίσουν και άλλους στην θρησκεία αυτή. Αυτό είναι συμπεριφορά οπαδού ιδεολογίας και μάλιστα πολιτικής αλλά όχι πιστού θρησκείας.

Γ. Εγκλήματα προσηλυτιστών

Ως λέξη ο 'προσηλυτισμός' δεν έχει παντού και πάντοτε το ίδιο νόημα. Προσήλυτος δεν είναι ο 'προσηλυτισμένος' αλλά ο νεοφώτιστος, δηλαδή ο προσ-ερχόμενος (από το 'έρχομαι' στον παρακείμενο: 'ελήλυθα') σε μία θρησκεία. Κατά κανόνα, στα δυτικά κράτη, ο προσηλυτισμός, δηλαδή η εκ μέρους ενός πιστού προσέλκυση ενός άλλου ατόμου σε μία θρησκεία διαφορετική της δικής του, απαγορεύεται. Με δεδομένο ότι οι σύγχρονες δυτικές κοινωνίες και κράτη είναι άθλιοι εσμοί ψεύδους, υποκρισίας και διαστροφής, μπορούμε εύκολα να καταλάβουμε ότι αποικιοκράτες όπως οι Άγγλοι, οι Γάλλοι και οι Αμερικανοί απαγορεύουν στους άλλους να κάνουν ό,τι συνεχώς και αδιαλείπτως οι ίδιοι επιχειρούν. Η ιστορία των δήθεν ιεραποστολών είναι ένα έγκλημα εναντίον πολλών αφρικανικών, κυρίως αν και όχι αποκλειστικώς, εθνών.

Πολύ λίγοι υποψιάζονται το έγκλημα το οποίο επιτελείται με τις σατανικές ιεραποστολές των Προτεσταντών (κάθε φυράματος) και των Καθολικών στην Αφρική και αλλού: ο δήθεν εκχριστιανισμός πολλών αφρικανικών εθνών δεν ήταν ποτέ αληθινός. Στην πραγματικότητα, επρόκειτο για ένα άθλιο εκδυτικισμό και με δεδομένο ότι οι ξεπεσμένες, σάπιες σημερινές δυτικές κοινωνίες είναι ολοσχερώς αντίχριστες και απόλυτα αντι-χριστιανικές, ο ψευτο-εκχριστανισμός των Αφρικανών είναι μία μεθοδευμένη πνευματική γενοκτονία. Πολύ πιο κοντά στον Θεό (όπως και αν Τον εννοούσε και Τον επίστευε) θα ήταν μία αφρικανή κοπέλλα στο χωριό ή στον καταυλισμό της, όπου θα παντρευόταν και θα γινόταν μία αξιοσέβαστη μητέρα, παρά 'εκχριστιανισμένη', εκδυτικισμένη, και συνεπώς εκπορνευμένη να ζει μέσα στο αίσχος των προγαμιαίων και εξωγαμιαίων σχέσεων, καθώς και όλων των οικτρώς απανθρώπων ανωμαλιών, δυσλειτουργιών και μολυσματικών ασθενειών της Δύσης.

Πολύ λίγοι υποψιάζονται το έγκλημα το οποίο επιτελέστηκε με τις σατανικές ιεραποστολές των Προτεσταντών (κάθε φυράματος) και των Καθολικών στην Ασία εις βάρος πολλών ανατολικών χριστιανών και κυρίως των Αραμαίων Μονοφυσιτών (ή Μιαφυσιτών, ή Ιακωβιτών), των Αραμαίων Νεστοριανών, των Αρμενίων, των Γεωργιανών, και των Αραμαίων του Μαλαμπάρ (στην Δυτική Ινδία), όπως επίσης και στην Αφρική εναντίον των Κοπτών της Αιγύπτου.

Η αντίχριστη αγγλοσαξωνική χολέρα μισούσε θανάσιμα τον Νεστοριανισμό, επειδή ήταν η πιο αυθεντική μορφή Χριστιανωσύνης η οποία είχε επιβιώσει. Όχι μόνον έστειλαν σατανο-ιεραποστόλους στους τόπους όπου κατοικούσαν πολλές κοινότητες Νεστοριανών στην Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία και στο Ιράν (ως αντίβαρο των εκεί ήδη αφιγμένων Καθολικών σατανο-ιεραποστόλων) αλλά ακόμη ξεσήκωσαν και τους πρώιμους Ουαχαμπιστές ψεευτο-μουσουλμάνους της αραβικής ερήμου, κατά τα χρόνια της εξέγερσής τους εναντίον των Οθωμανών (στα τέλη του 18ου και στις αρχές του 19ου αιώνα), προσκαλώντας τους (από τις εγκαταστάσεις-αποικίες τους στην Ινδία) να επιτεθούν ενάντια στους ιστορικούς Νεστοριανούς της Σοκότρα στον Ινδικό Ωκεανό και να τους εξισλαμίσουν. Αυτό ήταν ένα εξίσου αντιχριστιανικό και αντι-ισλαμικό έργο των βρωμερών σατανόψυχων Ουαχαμπιστών.

Η διάδοση μίας θρησκείας δεν μπορεί να γίνεται με στρατιωτικά μέτρα και με σκοτωμούς, όπως κατ' έξοχήν έγινε η επιβολή του ρωμαϊκού χριστιανισμού τον 4ο και 5ο αιώνα, ή ακόμη χειρότερα η βίαιη επικράτηση του σατανικού καθολικισμού στο Μεξικό, στο Περού και σε όλους τους χώρους που κατακτήθηκαν από τους άθλιους, αντίχριστους κονκισταδόρες. Όσοι δυτικοί προπαγανδιστές μιλούν καταδικαστικά εναντίον του Ισλάμ, ως θρησκείας διαδεδομένης με πολεμικές κατακτήσεις,

- πρώτον, αγνοούν εξεπίτηδες ότι πολλά έθνη και χώρες δέχθηκαν το Ισλάμ χωρίς πόλεμο (Υεμένη, Αβησσυνία, Σομαλία, Ανατολική Αφρική, Τουρανοί του Βόλγα, της Ανατολικής Ευρώπης, της Κεντρικής Ασίας, και της Σιβηρίας, κα),

- δεύτερον, συγκαλύπτουν το καθοριστικό γεγονός ότι οι πραγματικοί μουσουλμάνοι οι οποίοι περί τον Αλί αποτελούσαν την μόνη παρακαταθήκη του κηρύγματος του Μωάμεθ, δεν συμμετείχαν σε κανένα κατακτητικό πόλεμο, ούτε και νομιμοποίησαν κανένα (στα χρόνια που ο Αλί ιμπν Αμπί Τάλεμπ ήταν χαλίφης έπαυσε κάθε πόλεμος εναντίον 'αλλοθρήσκων'),

- τρίτον, αποσιωπούν τις εκατόμβες των θυμάτων των Ρωμαίων στρατιωτών εναντίον όλων των αρνητών της Χριστιανωσύνης και όλων των δήθεν 'αιρετικών',

- τέταρτον, λησμονούν τα εκατομμύρια των θυμάτων της αποικιοκρατίας,

- πέμπτον, ξεχνούν την υποδειγματική ειρηνική διάδοση του Νεστοριανισμού σε πολλούς και διαφορετικούς λαούς και χώρες στην Ασία (αντίθετα από την οικτρή, εγκληματική διάδοση του ρωμαϊκού χριστιανισμού και μεταγενέστερα των αιρέσεων του Καθολικισμού και του Προτεσταντισμού),

- έκτον, αποκρύπτουν την εντυπωσιακή ειρηνική διάδοση του Μονοφυσιτισμού και της Ορθοδοξίας στην Νοβατία, Μακουρία και Αλόη, δηλαδή στον τεράστιο χώρο του της Νότιας Αιγύπτου και του Σουδάν, και

- έβδομον, δεν παραδειγματίζονται από την πολιτισμένη και ειρηνική διάδοση της Ορθοδοξίας ανάμεσα στους Ρως του Κιέβου και αργότερα στους Ρώσσους της Μόσχας.

Όλα τα παραπάνω δείχνουν πολύ απλά ότι το πρόβλημα δεν είναι ούτε το Ισλάμ, ούτε η Χριστιανωσύνη, αλλά από την μία πλευρά, οι ψευτο-μοσυουλμάνοι οι οποίοι θέλουν τάχα 'να επιβάλουν' το (δικό τους λαθεμένο, και συνεπώς όχι το πραγματικό-ιστορικό) Ισλάμ, και από την άλλη πλευρά, οι ψευτο-χριστιανοί της Ρώμης και της Δύσης. Το θέμα είναι ασφαλώς τεράστιο, αλλά θα επιλέξω μία πολύ σημαντική διάσταση για να ολοκληρώσω αυτό το σύντομο εισαγωγικό σχόλιο.

Δ. Αλλαγή θρησκείας, προσηλυτισμός και πολυπολιτισμικότητα

Ακριβώς επειδή μία θρησκεία δεν είναι απλά και μόνον μία ιδεολογία, όπως όλες οι θρησκείες έχουν καταντήσει σήμερα (εξαιτίας της υπονόμευσής τους εκ μέρους των δυτικών αποικιοκρατών), δεν έχει κανένα νόημα ο οποιοσδήποτε προσηλυτισμός. Έγινα μουσουλμάνος το 1992, έχω ζήσει ως μουσουλμάνος για 32 χρόνια, είμαι 67 ετών, έζησα 28 χρόνια ως χριστιανός ορθόδοξος, και για άλλα 7 χρόνια ήμουν ένας άθρησκος πολίτης (επίσημα και με εμφανή δήλωση της θέσης μου αυτής στην αστυνομική μου ταυτότητα/πλην όμως όχι άθεος), αλλά ποτέ μου δεν σκέφθηκα να προσελκύσω κάποιο άλλο άτομο στο Ισλάμ. Ο λόγος είναι πολύ απλός.

Ως ιστορικός θρησκειών, γνωρίζω πολύ καλά ότι δεν αποσπάται μία θρησκεία από το πολιτιστικό πλαίσιό της μέσα στο οποίο αναπτύχθηκε. Δεν υπάρχει θρησκεία χωρίς παιδεία (κουλτούρα) και πολιτισμό, και ο κάθε πολιτισμός διαμορφώνεται γύρω από τις πνευματικές και θρησκευτικές αναζητήσεις και πεποιθήσεις ενός έθνους. Αυτή η κατάσταση δεν είναι στιγμιαία αλλά διαρκής. Αυτό έχει τεράστια σημασία. Συνεπώς, παράλληλα με την βαθμιαία εξέλιξη των ερμηνειών της θρησκείας, των πνευματικών αναλογισμών, των ψυχικών ασκήσεων, των θεωρητικών συλλογισμών, των ποικίλων λογοτεχνικών εμπνεύσεων, των καλλιτεχνικών επινοήσεων και υλοποιήσεων, ένα έθνος με την πάροδο των αιώνων διαμορφώνει αυτό το οποίο αποκαλείται σήμερα 'πολιτισμική κληρονομιά'. Στο επίκεντρό της ευρίσκονται η πνευματικότητα και η λαϊκή θρησκεία του εν λόγω έθνους. Αυτό λοιπόν δεν μπορεί να βιωθεί σωστά σε ένα περιβάλλον μακριά από τον τόπο του εν λόγω έθνους και της θρησκείας του.

Βεβαίως ένας χριστιανός ορθόδοξος εγκλιματίζεται εύκολα ανάμεσα σε Ρωσσία, Βουλγαρία, Ελλάδα, Ρουμανία, Αρμενία, Σερβία, Γεωργία, κλπ (παρά τις υπαρκτές διαφορές), όπως και ένας μουσουλμάνος προσαρμόζεται εύκολα ανάμεσα στους Τατάρους, τους Ιρανούς, τους Σομαλούς, και τους Βέρβερους. Αλλά τι νόημα έχει να γίνει κάποιος Ιρλανδός μουσουλμάνος, όταν ήδη η Χριστιανωσύνη τίθεται εκποδών εκεί και σε άλλες δυτικές χώρες;

Και τι νόημα έχει ένας Κετσούα (Quechua) στο Ουανκάγιο (Huancayo) του Περού να γίνει μοσυουλμάνος, αν πρόκειται να συνεχίσει να ζει στον τόπο του για το υπόλοιπο της ζωής του; Η θρησκεία δεν είναι πέντε προσευχές, επτά τσιτάτα, δέκα καίρια σημεία, και ένα κείμενο 6236 στίχων. Αυτή η προσέγγιση οφείλεται στην μετατροπή της θρησκείας σε ιδεολογία. Και τι θα κάνει ο Περουβιανός νεοφώτιστος όταν τελειώσει την ανάγνωση του κεφαλαίου Αλ Μάεντα (المائدة / Η Τράπεζα) και πέσει σε ένα πρόγραμμα περουβιανού τηλεοπτικού καναλιού με μία πορνό ταινία; Το ίδιο ισχύει και για όλους τους μουσουλμάνους οι οποίοι κατοικούν σε δυτικές χώρες. Αν είναι κοσμικοί (secular) όπως οι Τούρκοι κεμαλιστές, δεν θα έχουν κάποιο πρόβλημα. Αλλοιώς, ευρίσκονται αυτόματα σε ένα συγκρουσιακό πλαίσιο όπου δεν έχουν κανένα λόγο ύπαρξης.

Η σήμερον πολλαπλώς προπαγανδιζόμενη πολυπολιτισμικότητα δεν έχει τίποτα το πρότερον άγνωστον, το νέον ή το καινοφανές, ειμή μόνον για την διαστρεβλωτική προσέγγιση και την παρανοϊκή διαστρέβλωσή της εκ μέρους όσων την επικαλούνται. Πολυπολιτισμικότητα υπήρχε πάντοτε και μάλιστα υπήρχε και εντός της περιφέρειας των ιδιαίτερα διαδεδομένων (σε έκταση) θρησκειών. Ο ιουδαίος Βενιαμίν εκ Τουδέλης (1130-1173), ο χριστιανός Μάρκο Πόλο (1254-1324) και ο μουσουλμάνος Ιμπν Μπατούτα (1304-1369), είχαν την ευκαιρία, ταξιδεύοντας στην Ασία, την Αφρική και την Ευρώπη, να γνωρίσουν από κοντά πολλούς και διαφορετικούς πολιτισμούς και μάλιστα να εντοπίσουν τις διαφορές ιουδαίων, χριστιανών και μουσουλμάνων που ζούσαν σε διαφορετικά πολιτισμικά πλαίσια. Στις ημέρες μας αυτό είναι ακόμη πιο εύκολο λόγω των πολλών τεχνολογικών 'κατακτήσεων' και της ευκολίας των μετακινήσεων από την μία ήπειρο σε μία άλλη (ή ακόμη χάρη στο Ιντερνέτ).

Στον σημερινό πολυπολιτισμικό κόσμο, βρίσκει κάποιος μοσυουλμάνους στο Μάλι, χριστιανούς στην Ινδία, βουδιστές στο Θιβέτ της Κίνας, άλλους βουδιστές στο Λάος, άλλους χριστιανούς στην Γεωργία, και άλλους μουσουλμάνους στο Ιράν. Αυτός είναι ο σωστός πολυπολιτισμικός κόσμος ακολουθούμενος από τις μορφωτικές ανταλλαγές και συνεργασίες, εμπορικές εκθέσεις, εκπαιδευτικές γνωριμίες, κοκ. Κάθε άλλη μορφή πολυπολιτισμικότητας είναι εσφαλμένη, αν όχι εντελώς ανώμαλη, διεστραμμένη και εξεπίτηδες επιδιωκόμενη με σκοπό την γενική καταστροφή. Τι νόημα μπορεί να έχει να βρει κάποιος ένα Αλγερινό στην Γαλλία, ένα Τούρκο στην Γερμανία, ένα Τατζίκο στην Ρωσσία, και ένα Σομαλό στην Αγγλία; Κανένας τους δεν θα είναι αυθεντικός, και αν κάποιος έχει διατηρηθεί έτσι, σίγουρα θα νοσταλγεί τον τόπο του και δεν θα είναι ευτυχής στην χώρα όπου κατέληξε είτε παρσυρμένος, είτε εξαναγκασμένος, είτε από δική του θέληση.

Μέσα σε ένα τέτοιο πλαίσιο, έχει νόημα κάποιος να αλλαξοπιστήσει μόνον αν θελήσει να ζήσει σε μία άλλη χώρα, ή σε πολλές άλλες χώρες, όπου η κυρίαρχη πίστη να είναι η νέα του θρησκεία. Φυσικά αυτό δεν αφορά κράτη με πολλές, διαφορετικές θρησκείες όπως η Ρωσσία, το Ιράν, το Σουδάν, η Αβησσυνία (ψευδώς ονομασμένη Αιθιοπία), η Κένυα, κοκ. Ως ιστορικός θρησκειών και ως πρώην χριστιανός, πρώην άθρησκος, και νυν μουσουλμάνος, αν θα ευρισκόμουν απέναντι σε μία υποθετική περίπτωση συνάντησης με ένα φίλο Μάγια από το Μεξικό, την Γουατεμάλα ή την Ονδούρα, ή με ένα Αϋμάρα από το Περού και την Βολιβία που θα ήθελε να γίνει μουσουλμάνος χωρίς να μετακομίσει σε μία μουσουλμανική χώρα, θα έδινα σαφώς προτεραιότητα στην εκ μέρους μου ανεύρεση και τον εντοπισμό των καθαρά πιο μονοθεϊστικών τάσεων, πίστεων, στοιχείων και παραδόσεων στην πολιτισμική-πνευματική-θρησκευτική του κληρονομιά, καθώς και στην παρουσίαση, ανάλυση, υπογράμμιση, επίκληση, υπόδειξη και ανάδειξή τους στην πίστη και στην κοσμοαντίληψη του υποθετικού συνομιλητή μου.

Ε. Δεν υπάρχει το Ισλάμ ως θρησκεία χωρίς τις ιστορικές ισλαμικές επιστήμες

Πολλοί μουσουλμάνοι θα με ώκτειραν γι' αυτό, αλλά η συμπεριφορά τους αυτή θα ήταν δικό τους λάθος και επιπλέον επικύρωση του πρότερου ισχυρισμού μου ότι σήμερα το Ισλάμ, όπως και όλες οι άλλες 'θρησκείες', δεν είναι πλέον μία θρησκεία (ειμή μόνον σε σπάνιες περιπτώσεις χωρικών και απομακρυσμένων κοινοτήτων), αλλά μία ιδεολογία και μάλιστα μία πολιτική ιδεολογία του συρμού (όπως όλες). Είναι πολύ εύκολο να αποδειχθεί με ισλαμικά κριτήρια (και χωρίς την άχρηστη και ανόητη τσιτατολογία που αναίτια παρουσιάζουν όσοι σεΐχηδες και ιμάμηδες λένε ασυναρτησίες) για ποιον λόγο ένας πιστός μιας μονοθεϊστικής θρησκείας, όπως για παράδειγμα η Ουακεφάνα των Ορόμο (45-50 εκ. Κουσιτών της Κατεχόμενης Ορομία, διαιρεμένων ανάμεσα σε Αβησσυνία και Κένυα), δεν χρειάζεται να αποδεχθεί επίσημα το Ισλάμ.

Κατά το Ισλάμ, η έμφυτη θρησκευτική πίστη του Αδάμ ήταν το Ισλάμ, δηλαδή η υποταγή του ανθρώπου στον Θεό. Προφήτες και ιερά βιβλία απεστέλλοντο από τον Θεό σε διάφορους λαούς και έθνη όταν η πίστη τους είχε παρεκκλίνει της αρχικής και αυθεντικής. Συνεπώς, το Ισλάμ, όπως το εκήρυξε ο προφήτης Μωάμεθ, δεν είναι παρά η τελευταία διδασκαλία της ίδιας ακριβώς πίστης-υποταγής στον Θεό και το Κοράνιο είναι το τελευταίο μιας σειράς ιερών βιβλίων αποκαλυφθέντων με Θεία Έμπνευση και Παρέμβαση στον άνθρωπο μέσω απεσταλμένων-προφητών. Έτσι, η ισλαμική θρησκεία αυτόματα εγκαινιάζει την ισλαμική επιστήμη της Ιστορίας, την οποία ανέπτυξαν κορυφαίοι σοφοί και επιστήμονες, συγγραφείς και θεωρητικοί όπως ο Ταμπαρί, ο Αλ Μπαϊρούνι, κοκ.

Όμως, αντίθετα με την ισλαμική επστημονική παράδοση, οι σύγχρονοι ψευτο-μοσυουλμάνοι αποδέχονται στις κίβδηλες θρησκευτικές σχολές τους την δυτική επιστήμη της ιστορίας, αντί να αναπτύξουν και να συνεχίσουν την παραδοσιακή ισλαμική επιστήμη της ιστορίας, η οποία είναι ολότελα διαφορετική. Συνεπώς, για την περίπτωση της απόλυτα μονοθεϊστικής θρησκείας Ουακεφάνα, η οποία κακώς δεν απασχολεί τις ψευτο-θρησκευτικές ισλαμικές σχολές και τα άθλια πανεπιστήμια όλων των μουσουλμανικών χωρών (τα οποία είναι κάκιστα αντίγραφα των δυτικών πανεπιστημίων του υλισμού, του δαρβισνισμού-εξελικτισμού, της αθεΐας και του αγνωστικισμού), σωστοί και καλοπροαίρετοι μουσουλμάνοι ιστορικοί θα πρέπει να αλλάξουν προσέγγιση και στάση, και να την μελετήσουν (και κακώς δεν το έχουν κάνει μέχρι σήμερα) ως μία μορφή Ισλάμ κηρυγμένου στους Κουσίτες προγόνους των σημερινών Ορόμο πριν από το κήρυγμα του προφήτη Μωάμεθ στην Αραβία.

Εναλλακτικά, ένας σύγχρονος μουσουλμάνος ιστορικός, ο οποίος εργάζεται με την μέθοδο των ιστορικών ισλαμικών επιστημών και της ισλαμικής επιστήμης της Ιστορίας, θα μπορεί να εκλάβει την Ουακεφάνα ως ζωντανή συνέχιση του αρχαίου αιγυπτιακού και κουσιτικού (δηλαδή σουδανικού) μονοθεϊσμού, ο οποίος έχει εντοπιστεί σε αρκετές από τις πολλές και διάφορες θρησκείες που αναπτύχθηκαν στην Αρχαία Αίγυπτο και το Κους ('Αιθιοπία' σε αρχαία ελληνικά και λατινικά – μία χώρα ολότελα άσχετη από την σύγχρονη Αβησσυνία/Ψευτο-Αιθιοπία) ήδη από την 3η προχριστιανική χιλιετία. Οπότε, δεν έχει κανένα νόημα να θέλει σήμερα ένας Ορόμο (ή άλλος) μουσουλμάνος να προσηλυτίσει ένα Ουακεφάτα (: οπαδό της Ουακεφάνα) Ορόμο στο Ισλάμ.

Ένας επιπλέον λόγος, για τον οποίο η διάθεση προσηλυτισμού μη μουσουλμάνων είναι ισλαμικώς ανόητη αν όχι κάκιστη, είναι ο εξής: αποτελεί βασική ισλαμική θέση ότι ο οποιοσδήποτε πιστός μιας άλλης θρησκείας σε μία άλλη χώρα μπορεί να έχει ζήσει όλη του την ζωή ως μουσουλμάνος, χωρίς να το ξέρει – είτε έχει απλά ακουστά περί Ισλάμ, είτε αγονεί την ύπαρξη του ισλαμικού κόσμου ολότελα. Αυτό είναι πολύ φυσικό, επειδή κατά το Ισλάμ, η πίστη είναι έμφυτη στον άνθρωπο ήδη από την Δημιουργία και η υποταγή στον Θεό αποτελεί φυσική στάση ζωής. Οπότε, όποια και να είναι η θρησκεία ενός ατόμου, κατά το Ισλάμ, αυτό μπορεί να ζήσει όλη του την ζωή ως μουσουλμάνος χωρίς να το ξέρει και να κερδίσει την αιώνια ζωή, χωρίς να έχει μάθει ούτε μισό στίχο του Κορανίου.  

Εξάλλου, δεν υπάρχει ποτέ 'νίκη' μιας θρησκείας, διότι αυτό αποτελεί μία απολύτως επιφανειακή και εξωτερική προσέγγιση των ιστορικών περιστάσεων. Ακόμη και αν έτσι χαρκτηριστεί η κοσμική επιβολή μιας θρησκείας σε ένα κάποιο κράτος (όπως του ρωμαϊκού χριστιανισμού στην Ρώμη και του ομεϋαδικού μουσουλμανισμού στην Δαμασκό), αυτό δεν λέει τίποτα. Αν μία θρησκεία έστω υποθετικά 'επιβληθεί' σε ένα κράτος αλλά οι πιστοί επιτελούν άθλια έργα, νοιάζονται για το υλικό συμφέρον τους, σκοτώνουν όσους ερμηνεύουν διαφορετικά τα ιερά κείμενα, και επίσης προξενούν εμφυλίους πολέμους, αυτό δεν είναι 'νίκη' αλλά 'ήττα' και 'ξεπεσμός' της θρησκείας.

Άλλωστε, τι νόημα έχει να 'νικήσει' και να 'επιβληθεί' σε ένα κράτος μία θρησκεία την οποία οικτρώς παρερμηνεύουν και αλλοιωμένα εφαρμόζουν οι πιστοί της; Αυτό είναι είτε υποκρισία είτε τραγέλαφος! Είναι προτιμώτερη μία βουδιστική χώρα με ηθικούς βουδιστές παρά μία εξισλαμισμένη, πρώην βουδιστική, χώρα με ανήθικους μουσουλμάνους.

Και πως μπορεί να 'νικήσει' ποτέ μία θρησκεία, εφόσον η μόνη πραγματική πίστη είναι έμφυτη στον άνθρωπο, δηλαδή μία κατάσταση την οποία όρισε ο Θεός. Βεβαίως και υπάρχει 'νίκη' του Καλού ή του Κακού, κάθε φορά που ένας άνθρωπος κάνει κάτι το καλό ή κάθε φορά που ένα άτομο επιτελεί κάτι το κακό, αλλά αυτό το συμβάν δεν έχει καμμία σχέση με την όποια θρησκεία πρεσβεύει το συγκεκριμένο άτομο, και ακόμη περισσότερο, αυτό δεν έχει σχέση με το νόημα που έχει η λέξη 'θρησκεία' και το όνομα 'Ισλάμ' κατά το Ισλάμ.

Συνεπώς, αν το τάδε ή το δείνα άτομο αποδέχθηκε το Ισλάμ, ή την Χριστιανωσύνη, ή μία άλλη θρησκεία, αυτό δεν σημαίνει τίποτα παραπάνω από το ότι το συγκεκριμένο συμβάν ή η αλλαγή αυτή ήταν κάτι το σημαντικό και απαραίτητο για το εν λόγω άτομο. Άλλωστε, η θρησκεία είναι μία ολότελα προσωπική υπόθεση και δεν υπάρχει καταναγκασμός στην θρησκεία {لا إكراه في الدين/λα ικράχα φι' ντ-ντιν: Κοράνιο, κεφάλαιο (σούρα) δεύτερο, Αλ Μπάκαρα/Η Αγελάδα; στ. 256}. Ωστόσο, πολλοί μουσουλμάνοι και πολλοί νεοφώτστοι θεωρούν υποχρέωσή τους να παρουσιάζουν μακροσκελείς καταλόγους 'επιφανών' ανθρώπων που αλλαξοπίστησαν και δέχθηκαν την πίστη την οποία αποδέχθηκαν και οι ίδιοι. Αυτό είναι μία επιπλέον επιβεβαίωση του πρότερου ισχυρισμού μου ότι οι θρησκείες έχουν σήμερα καταντήσει ιδεολογίες. Και ναι! Βέβαια! Αντίθετα από τις θρησκείες, οι ιδεολογίες μπορούν και 'νικούν', επειδή οι οπαδοί της μιας καταφέρνουν να συγκεντρώσουν 57% στις εκλογές, ενώ οι τυχόν αντίπαλοι περιορίζονται στο 43%, ή και ακόμη παρακάτω. Αλλά αυτό δεν μπορεί να έχει σχέση με μία θρησκεία και με τις επιταγές του ψυχικού σύμπαντος.

Προσωπικά, βρίσκω αυτή την τάση ως μάλλον αστεία. Τι σημασία μπορεί να έχει το γεγονός ότι ο Γάλλος φιλόσοος Ροζέ Γκαρωντύ (1913-2012) αποδέχθηκε το Ισλάμ, όταν τόσο κορυφαίοι επιστήμονες, επικοί ποιητές, ή υπερβατικοί μύστες και συγγραφείς, όπως ο Αλ Μπαϊρούνι (973-1050), ο Φερντοουσί (940-1020), ή ο Μοχυιελντίν Ιμπν Άραμπι (1165-1240), ήταν μουσουλμάνοι; Είναι κωμικό να συγκρίνει κάποιος τέτοια μεγέθη. Η τάση  αυτών των μουσουλμάνων να δίνουν σημασία στο ποιος δυτικός αποδέχθηκε το Ισλάμ είναι προϊόν έντονου εκδυτικισμού, ξενοδουλείας, δυτικολαγνείας, και ασυνείδητης αποδοχής του ψέμματος του τάχα 'δυτικού πολιτισμού' εκ μέρους επιφανειακά μόνον πιστών μουσουλμάνων των οποίων η θρησκεία είναι απλά ένα ιδεολόγημα, αντίθετο στον κομμμουνισμό, τον σοσιαλισμό, και τον νεοφιλελευθερισμό.

Επίλογος

Έγραψα αυτές τις εισαγωγικές σκέψεις χάρη σε ένα πρόσφατο διάλογο που είχα πρόσφατα με ένα Έλληνα φίλο μουσουλμάνο, ο οποίος προ ετών αποδέχθηκε το Ισλάμ. Χάρη στην δυτική, αποικιοκρατική ψευτο-ιστορία, την οποία διδάσκονται όλοι οι μουσουλμάνοι, και εξαιτίας της ξενόδουλης-δυτικόδουλης φύσης των ισλαμιστών και των θρησκευτικών σχολών (μεντρεσά) τους, οι σημερινοί ιδιαίτερα αμόρφωτοι μουσουλμάνοι νομίζουν ότι το αρχικό Ισλάμ διέφερε από την τότε Χριστιανωσύνη, τόσο όσο σήμερα το ισλαμιστικό ιδεολόγημα διαφοροποιείται από το ευαγγελιστικό χριστιανο-σιωνιστικό αφήγημα. Αυτό είναι ολότελα λάθος, Πλέον, γνωρίζουμε πολύ καλά ότι το Ισλάμ είχε τότε θεωρηθεί ως μία επιπλέον χριστιανική αίρεση αρχικά, ένα είδος ριζοσπαστικού νεστοριανισμού.

Στην συζήτησή μας, ετόνισα ότι, αν υπήρχε σήμερα Νεστοριανική Εκκλησία, μπορεί να μην είχα γίνει μουσουλμάνος αλλά νεστοριανός. Αυτό βεβαίως δήλωνε ότι και οι σημερινοί Νεστοριανοί Χριστιανοί είναι κίβδηλοι και συνεπώς ανύπαρκτοι (καθώς έχουν διαβρωθεί από Προστεστάντες και Καθολικούς), και η εγγύτητα του αρχικού, αυθεντικού Ισλάμ (όχι της σημερινής ισλαμιστικής ιδεολογίας) με τον τότε αληθινό Νεστοριανισμό ήταν εντυπωσιακή.

Γνωρίζοντας ελάχιστα το ο,τιδήποτε σχετικό με τον Νεστοριανισμό ως δόγμα, την Ιστορία του Νεστοριανισμού, και την Ιστορία των Πρώιμων και Μέσων Ισλαμικών χρόνων, ο νεοφώτιστος μουσουλμάνος φίλος μου με αφέλεια και απερισκεψία μου απάντησε ότι υπάρχουν και σήμερα Νεστοριανοί, όπως και ότι υπάχουν ακόμη και Μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά. Αυτό είναι βέβαια ολότελα κωμικό διότι πρόκειται για μία σύγχρονη οργάνωση ολότελα μακράν του αυθεντικού κόσμου του 7ου-13ου αιώνα, από τον οποίο ο συνομιλητής μου ούτε καν υποψιάζεται πόσο απέχει, νομίζοντας ότι υπάρχουν τάχα σήμερα μουσουλμάνοι ή χριστιανοί.

Το πιο αστείο ήταν μάλιστα ότι με παρέπεμψε στο μπλογκ ενός άλλου Έλληνα μουσουλμάνου και στην εκεί ανάρτηση σχετικά με την προσχώρηση (πριν από ένα αιώνα) ενός Αραμαίου Νεστοριανού της Ουρουμίγιε (ΒΔ Ιράν), του Νταβίντ Κελντάνι, στο Ισλάμ. Καθώς έχω ζήσει στην Ουρουμίγιε και γνωρίζω Νεστοριανούς της Ουρουμίγιε του απάντησα και θα δημοσιεύσω αμέσως μετά, ξεχωριστά, την απάντησή μου (καθώς και το δημοσίευμα στο οποίο με παρέπεμψε), αλλά η πιο κωμική διάσταση του θέματος είναι η εξής:

Αντίθετα με τους ασήμαντους και ανίδεους μουσουλμάνους του 21ου αιώνα, οι οποίοι μέσα στην οικτρή κατρακύλα του Ισλάμ θεωρούν αναγκαίο να 'καυχηθούν' επειδή ο Νεστοριανός Αραμαίος Νταβίντ Κελντάνι έγινε μουσουλμάνος στις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα στην Ουρουμίγιε, ο κορυφαίος αστρονόμος Νασρεντίν αλ Τούσι (1201-1274) δεν είχε καμμία ανάγκη ούτε να προσηλυτίσει στο Ισλάμ, ούτε να καυχηθεί ότι επέτυχε κάτι τέτοιο σχετικά με τον Αραμαίο Μονοφυσίτη Χριστιανό επιστήμονα συνεργάτη του στο αστεροσκοπείο της Μαραγέ, τον περίφημο Γρηγόριο Μπαρ Εβραίο (1226-1286), ο οποίος ήταν 'Μαφριάν Καθολικός' (Μονοφυσίτης ‘Αρχιεπίσκοπος’ του Ιράν).

Αυτή είναι όλη η ουσία σχετικά με το αληθινό Ισλάμ, το οποίο είναι άγνωστο στην παμψηφία σχεδόν των σημερινών μουσουλμάνων:

Α- είτε παράγεις επιστημονικό, ακαδημαϊκό, μορφωτικό, διανοητικό και πνευματικό έργο αναπτύσσοντας τις αυθεντικές ισλαμικές επιστήμες, οπότε και το Κοράνιο είναι ένα απειροελάχιστο τμήμα των γνώσεών σου, επειδή δεν σου χρειάζεται (δεδομενου ότι οι αρχές του διέπουν ήδη τις επιστήμες τις οποίες διαμορφώνεις χωρίς να δίνεις σημασία στις ψευτο-επιστήμες των άξεστων Δυτικών σατανιστών)

Β- είτε δεν παράγεις έργο, οπότε διαβάζεις και ξαναδιαβάζεις άσκοπα και άχρηστα το Κοράνιο που δεν καταλαβαίνεις, το κάνεις επίκεντρο του κόσμου επειδή δεν θέλεις να μορφωθείς αλλά τεμπελιάζεις, και αποδέχεσαι σαν τυφλός και ηλίθιος άπιστος τις δυτικές ψευτο-επιστήμες, πετώντας έτσι τον εαυτό οσυ οριστικά εκτός Ισλάμ και βαθειά μέσα στην Κόλαση.

Η πρώτη περίπτωση συνέβαινε στην χρυσή περίοδο του ισλαμικού πολιτισμού και η δεύτερη περίπτωση συμβαίνει σήμερα.

Και τι επιβεβαιώνει το αληθές των λόγων μου καλλίτερα από το γεγονός ότι και οι δυτικοί χείριστοι εχθροί και άθλιοι δυσφημιστές του Ισλάμ και οι ηλίθιοι ψευτο-μουσουλμάνοι ισλαμιστές συμφωνούν ότι τάχα αρκούν το Κοράνιο και οι Χαντίθ για να 'μάθει' κάποιος το Ισλάμ;

Στην πραγματικότητα, χρειάζονται πάνω από χίλια (1000) συγκεκριμένα έργα κορυφαίων μουσουλμάνων σοφών, ιστορικών, λογοτεχνών, επιστημόνων και μυστών των χρόνων της ισλαμικής ακμής για να αρχίσει κάποιος να μαθαίνει το πραγματικό, ιστορικό Ισλάμ (και όχι το σημερινό άθλιο ψευτο-ιδεολόγημα των φανατισμένων πααληρημάτων υπέρ του χετζάμπ και εναντίον του αλκοόλ).

Και, είτε γεννημένος μουσουλμάνος είτε νεοφώτιστος, πριν κάποιος μελετήσει εκατό (100) συγκεκριμένα έργα κορυφαίων μουσουλμάνων σοφών, ιστορικών, λογοτεχνών, επιστημόνων και μυστών των χρόνων της ισλαμικής ακμής, δεν πρέπει να διαβάσει το Κοράνιο διότι αναπόφευκτα θα το καταλάβει ιδιαίτερα εσφαλμένα.

Χωρίς έργα όπως η Ιστορία ή το Ταφσίρ του Ταμπαρί, δεν υπάρχει Κοράνιο για όλους τους μοσυουλμάνους σήμερα. Απλά, όσοι το διαβάζουν έτσι, δεν το καταλαβαίνουν. Και είναι φυσικό.

Ακριβώς όπως και για τον Χέοπα, χωρίς τα κατώτερα και μέσα στρώματα πέτρινων ογκολίθων, δεν θα είχε ποτέ τοποθετηθεί ο λίθος της κορυφής.

Шамсаддин Мегаломматис - Заметки | OK.RU

Шамсаддин Мегаломматис. 65 лет. Место проживания - Урумчи, Китай. Заметки.

Back in the middle 1980s, Hossein Ali Zadeh's Neynava was, first and foremost, my constant music accompaniment from Nineveh, Assyria, Kalhu (Nimrud), Arbil and Kirkuk to Cizre, Hakkari, Van, Urmia, Tekab, Hamadan and Kermanshah, throughout all the valleys of the Anti-Taurus and Zagros.

In summer, spring, winter and autumn, in Northern Iraq, Eastern Turkey or Western Iran, when I entered a bus, a minibus or a taxi, after resuming my seat, I always put the cassette in my tape recorder (Sony Walkman) and started playing the music. I saw interminable landscapes, traveling on the Neynava sound waves.

The years passed, the techniques changed, the exercises became more difficult, the explorations went back and forth, and the speed became comparable to the tempo of Ferdowsi's narratives. My inclination to these transcendental Russian Mountains, the constant roller coaster of my life, took me to different places in variable times.

Moving from Sargon of Akkad to Tamerlane, exploring the tellurian matter, discovering the aquatic undulations, and traveling on the aerial trajectories, I arrived in the Invisible Palace of Nezami Ganjavi.

And when the mysterious "Seven" became the ostensible "Eight", instead of me traveling, the various places and the diverse times came to visit me. Only then I discovered the radiation of the Tears of the Man, the vibration of the Blood of God, the blessings of Ludlul Bel Nemeqi, and the Truth of the Hidden Quran.

- Was I a soldier in the Battle?

- Where are the Mountains of the Ultimate Limit?

- What makes the inexorable strength of the Soft Waters?

- How long can an Army endure when crossing the sand of the desert, which is the Entrance to the Netherworld?

- Whom does the Sperm of God heal?

- Is the Fight of the Man always meant to entertain the Soul of a Mountain and the Heart of a River?

- Are all these inimical reflections truly real beings or did we all create them because of our fears?

- Will the 600 Anunnaki rise at last to greet us in a sign of approbation?

After I stayed long at the very bottom of the cylinders of these hitherto unanswered questions, I decided to rise and come back to my daily occupations. Through the myriad of corridors, across the innumerable pathways of atemporal existence, thanks to the absolute control of ethereal particles and to the balance of electromagnetic vibrations, when the velocity becomes infinite and the oscillation none, by means of spiritual anxiety, pulmonary benediction, mental supplication, cordial empathy and intestinal nihility, I crossed the nonexistent space of time and appeared at the peak of a mountain.

The Ardalani shepherd who was in the near slopes had two dogs, one male and one female. The male dog started to rub against my right leg, and the female against my left leg. The shepherd asked me how many years we were left with and I said how many millennia had passed.

The affinity of numbers is a joyful experience. Delighted because of our mutual nutritional abstinence, vitalized due to our reciprocal celibacy, electrified thanks to our mental chastity, empty of thoughts, free of desires, and clear of feelings, we embraced one another, heart on heart, as it happened since the times of Sargon of Akkad, paid tribute to one another, and returned to our respective times.

The number of affinities is a distressing experience. And the sole solace for me now is my Ardalani friend whom I so unexpectedly encountered and from whom I so much learned. I feel that you may perhaps wish to ask me why, willing to come back to my daily occupations, I inadvertently met the Ardalani shepherd. I thought you knew; sometimes, I make mistakes.

An echo was coming from the four corners of the Universe; it was an incredible resonance within the cylinders of these hitherto unanswered questions. The myriad of corridors only reinforced this echo; the innumerable pathways made it impossible for me to escape the enchanting echo. Then, when the velocity becomes finite and the oscillation begins, first the cordial empathy is held captive. With your feelings captive, you stop at an earlier moment. There I met the Ardalani shepherd.

He was not Ardalani or, if you prefer, he was as Ardalani as I am. We both had simply stopped at the time of the Ardalan Khan Helo. Enchanted by the same echo, we both made a mistake. The Ardalani shepherd was returning to his time, which has not yet come. To reach the antediluvian times that he wanted to explore he came out of the Sea of Glass. We spoke about our experience and he asked me whether I know the sublime echo. I replied positively; I knew the echo only too well. It was Neynava, my constant music accompaniment.

The Ardalani shepherd found it blissful and as ecstatic as every ascetic sound is. That's why finally my mistake was beneficial. Thanks to my sentimental ineptitude, I came to learn so much about the shepherds of the future, namely an epoch which is very close to us. In this forthcoming epoch, the Earth will be different, free of cities and villages, empty of buildings, and clean of things. The turquoise color of the sky will be due to the total absence of sea and salt waters. The few worthwhile men and women, who will survive, will not eat anything and will not copulate. It will be a free world with no thoughts, no feelings, and no desires; that's why there will be no wars, no killings, and no sicknesses.

Immaculate conception will be the majestic manner by which the life of forthcoming generations will be starting, and luminescent birth will the royal manner by which the activity of forthcoming generations will be beginning on the surface of the Earth, where there will be no more deserts.  

My Ardalani friend travels always with his sheep and the two dogs; in his perfect, imperial world, all people are nomads. Their vestibular abilities are superior; their tactile functions are as subtle as the underlying force of Ether demands; their auditory duties are as harmonious as the Crystal Firmament; and their olfactory purposes are as angelic as the Frankincense of Punt-Somalia. Their formidable visual capabilities, as consequence of their luminescent birth, are unfathomable as they are able to turn their eyes into a Lighthouse of their bodies. And their Light is not darkness, as it happens in our ending times.

And despite the incessant echo of Neynava, I still remember the last reassuring and comforting words of my Ardalani friend. In the critical years of upheaval, when all the rulers of today's world and most of the worthless populations will perish in eternal fire, during the 1335 days of the darkness, two unexpected, divine presents will be offered to the worthwhile, moral and ascetic survivors:

- the invisible conduit -within which the Sun sails for all- will not be affected but perfectly protected, and

- the Moon will be the only luminary to shed ample light on a limited part of the Earth from where Life will restart. This will be the location where Gishgida, the Tree of Life, will appear among the Chosen People whom the Savior will drive back to their land.

East of Tigris River and around the Tree of Life a Luminous Cylinder will be the Sign of God's Everlasting Love - to the very few and most worthwhile ones.

These were the benefits of my attunement with Neynava.

Нейнава: современное музыкальное сопровождение или диахроническое эхо Востока?

Еще в середине 1980-х Нейнава Хоссейна Али Заде была, прежде всего, моим постоянным музыкальным сопровождением от Ниневии, Ассирии, Калху (Нимруд), Арбиля и Киркука до Джизре, Хаккари, Вана, Урмии, Текаб, Хамадана и Керманшаха на протяжении всего долины Анти-Тавра и Загроса.

Летом, весной, зимой и осенью, в Северном Ираке, Восточной Турции или Западном Иране, когда я садился в автобус, микроавтобус или такси, после того, как занял свое место, я всегда вставлял кассету в свой магнитофон (Sony Walkman) и начал играть музыку. Я видел бесконечные пейзажи, путешествуя по звуковым волнам Нейнавы.

Шли годы, менялись техники, упражнения усложнялись, исследования шли вперед и назад, а скорость становилась сравнимой с темпом повествований Фирдоуси. Моя тяга к этим заоблачным русским горам, постоянным американским горкам моей жизни, приводила меня в разные места в разное время.

Двигаясь от Саргона Аккадского к Тамерлану, исследуя теллурическую материю, открывая водные волны и путешествуя по воздушным траекториям, я прибыл в Незримый Дворец Незами Гянджеви.

И когда таинственная «Семерка» стала мнимой «Восьмеркой», вместо меня в путешествии ко мне стали приходить разные места и переменные времена. Только тогда я обнаружил излучение Слез Человека, вибрацию Крови Бога, благословения Лудлул Бел Немеки и Истину Сокровенного Корана.

- Был ли я солдатом в битве?

- Где Горы Предельного Предела?

- В чем неумолимая сила Мягких Вод?

- Как долго может продержаться Армия, пересекая песок пустыни, являющейся Входом в Преисподнюю?

- Кого исцеляет Сперма Бога?

- Всегда ли Борьба Человека предназначена для того, чтобы развлечь Душу Горы и Сердце Реки?

- Действительно ли все эти враждебные отражения являются реальными существами или мы все создали их из-за наших страхов?

- Поднимутся ли, наконец, 600 аннунаков, чтобы поприветствовать нас в знак одобрения?

После того, как я долго пробыл на самом дне цилиндров этих до сих пор остававшихся без ответа вопросов, я решил встать и вернуться к своим повседневным занятиям. Мириадами коридоров, бесчисленными путями вневременного существования, благодаря абсолютному контролю над эфирными частицами и равновесию электромагнитных вибраций, когда скорость становится бесконечной, а колебание нет, посредством духовного беспокойства, легочного благословения, ментального мольбой, сердечным сочувствием и внутренним ничтожеством я пересек несуществующее пространство времени и оказался на вершине горы.

У пастуха Ардалани, который был на близлежащих склонах, было две собаки, самец и самка. Кобель начал тереться о мою правую ногу, а самка — о левую. Пастух спросил меня, сколько лет нам осталось, и я сказал, сколько тысячелетий прошло.

Близость чисел – это радостное переживание. Обрадованные нашим взаимным воздержанием от пищи, оживлённые нашим взаимным безбрачием, наэлектризованные благодаря нашему душевному целомудрию, пустые от мыслей, свободные от желаний и ясные от чувств, мы обнялись сердцем к сердцу, как это бывало издревле. Саргона Аккадского, отдали дань уважения друг другу и вернулись в наше время.

Количество сродств — удручающий опыт. И единственным утешением для меня теперь является мой друг Ардалани, с которым я так неожиданно столкнулся и от которого так многому научился. Я чувствую, что вы, возможно, захотите спросить меня, почему, желая вернуться к своим повседневным занятиям, я случайно встретил ардаланского пастуха. Я думал, вы знали; иногда я ошибаюсь.

Эхо шло из четырех уголков Вселенной; это был невероятный резонанс в цилиндрах этих до сих пор остававшихся без ответа вопросов. Мириада коридоров только усиливала это эхо; бесчисленные пути сделали невозможным для меня избежать чарующего эха. Затем, когда скорость становится конечной и начинается колебание, сначала пленяется сердечное сопереживание. Когда ваши чувства находятся в плену, вы останавливаетесь в более ранний момент. Там я встретил ардаланского пастуха.

Он не был Ардалани, или, если хотите, он был таким же Ардалани, как я.

Мы оба просто остановились во время Ардаланского хана Хело. Очарованные одним и тем же эхом, мы оба совершили ошибку. Пастух Арделани возвращался в свое время, которое еще не пришло. Чтобы достичь допотопных времен, которые он хотел исследовать, он вышел из Стеклянного Моря. Мы говорили о нашем опыте, и он спросил меня, знаю ли я возвышенное эхо. я ответил положительно; Я слишком хорошо знал эхо. Это была Нейнава, мое постоянное музыкальное сопровождение.

Пастух Ардалани находил его блаженным и таким же восторженным, как и каждый аскетический звук. Вот почему, наконец, моя ошибка пошла на пользу. Благодаря моей сентиментальной неумелости я так много узнал о пастухах будущего, именно об очень близкой нам эпохе. В эту грядущую эпоху Земля будет другой, свободной от городов и деревень, пустой от зданий и чистой от вещей. Бирюзовый цвет неба будет обусловлен полным отсутствием морской и соленой воды. Те немногие достойные мужчины и женщины, которые выживут, ничего не будут есть и не будут совокупляться. Это будет свободный мир без мыслей, без чувств и без желаний; поэтому не будет ни войн, ни убийств, ни болезней.

Непорочное зачатие будет величественным образом, которым будет начинаться жизнь грядущих поколений, а светоносное рождение будет царским образом, которым начнется деятельность грядущих поколений на поверхности Земли, где не будет больше пустынь.

Мой друг Ардалани всегда путешествует со своими овцами и двумя собаками; в его совершенном имперском мире все люди — кочевники. Их вестибулярные способности превосходны, их тактильные функции столь же тонки, как и основная сила эфира; их слуховые обязанности так же гармоничны, как Хрустальный Небесный свод; и их обонятельные цели столь же ангельские, как ладан Пунт-Сомали. Их огромные визуальные способности, как следствие их светящегося рождения, непостижимы, поскольку они способны превратить свои глаза в Маяк своих тел. И их Свет не тьма, как это бывает в наши последние времена.

И несмотря на непрекращающееся эхо Нейнавы, я до сих пор помню последние ободряющие и утешительные слова моего ардаланского друга. В критические годы потрясений, когда все правители сегодняшнего мира и большая часть никчемного населения погибнут в вечном огне, в течение 1335 дней мрака, два неожиданных божественных подарка будут предложены достойным, нравственным и аскетически уцелевшим:

- невидимый канал, по которому плывет Солнце для всех, не будет затронут, но полностью защищен, и

- Луна будет единственным светилом, проливающим достаточно света на ограниченную часть Земли, откуда возобновится Жизнь. Это будет место, где Гишгида, Древо Жизни, появится среди Избранного Народа, которого Спаситель вернет на свою землю.

К востоку от реки Тигр и вокруг Древа Жизни Светящийся Цилиндр будет Знаком Вечной Любви Бога - для очень немногих и самых достойных.

Таковы были преимущества моей настройки на Нейнаву.
