چکیده:
The global hegemony of Western capitalistic imperialism has recently
been challenged on many fronts—by the Islamic resurgence movements
in the Middle East culminating in the 1979 Islamic Revolution
in Iran, by revolutionary groups in formerly oppressed and repressed
countries such as those in Latin America, and also by a host of antiglobalization
movements operating at grass-roots levels throughout
the globe. What unites them is their vision of a ―new world‖ free from
the clutches of tyranny, oppression, inequality and the likes. In this
paper, the author emphasizes the need for Muslims to consider Islam,
not as one alternative religion independent of all others, but as the
continuation of the same divine message preaching the truth of the
One God and the establishment of justice. As such, it can work together
with other non-Muslim groups based on mutual principles in
order to re-envision and re-create a new society.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The new world, from its first and vague steps, extends its hands of solidarity to all the people worldwide and babbles its first words of anti-imperialist fraternity while understanding its faith in a God of Truth and Mercy and inevitably committed to Justice; defending the weak, the exploited, and the oppressed; and constructing a global society—just, free, unified, and fraternal.
The victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, at the beginning of the year 1978, projected to the world scene a new revolutionary force that is based on the belief in the One and Almighty God—a God of kindness and justice, the Defender of the truth, of the good, of social justice, and of the fraternity between people—and that uses the Holy Quran explicitly as the basis for their political program.
To stop this revolutionary movement—a movement armed with faith in God and with the transcendental values that emanate from the Holy QurÞÁn—the world tyrannies did not hesitate in provoking terrorist attacks in order to feed the spectrum of the new ghost who threatens their so called "free and democratic society"; this is the ghost of Islam.
3. To assume responsibility and to consider ourselves as the engine of that universal change and as ideologists and vanguard leaders of the anti-globalization movement; we must also take charge of the fundamental role of establishing the bases of a new form of social organization based more so on direct action, brotherhood, initiative, and creativity of the people than in the coercive authority and planning of the State.
