Beware of US-UK Embassies: Upheaval in Libya. What Next?
-DR. ABDUL RUFF

PART ONE
Are Mideast Uprisings anti-Islamic?
Western intelligence operations are in full swing in pseudo Islamic Mideast, engineering definite uprisings by common people to make the Arab nations and Muslims anti-Islamic only to suit the needs of anti-Islamic world.
First, the good news: the UN Security Council which is as good as dead when it comes to Israeli fascism in Palestine is still alive and ready to meet in closed session to discuss Libya. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made the announcement, after speaking to Col Gaddafi. Ban said he had urged Col that the human rights and freedom of assembly and freedom of speech must be fully protected, but he has never questioned the human rights violations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, and genocides of Muslims in order rot clear the energy routes for energy hungry terror nations, including India.
The ongoing circuit of upheavals in Mideast has unraveled a few facts hidden from the world's eye. The most important fact is that West is deadly opposed to Islam and Islamic world. Since democracy is a pass time phenomenon for the USA-UK led anti-Islamic nations that use the term only to counter-pose Islam to democracy as if Islam is opposition to freedom and democracy or as if the NATO terrorists allow plenty of freedom and democracy in occupied Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq.
Col Muammar Gaddafi's government is under pressure amid unprecedented protests in the Libyan capital and due to defections by pro-West diplomats, enjoying western way of life and culture and has little concern for true Islam. As the uprising in Libya spreads throughout the country, the toll of protesters killed and wounded by the regime of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi continues to rise. Jets have opened fire on protesters, including, according to some reports, in the capital Tripoli. Benghazi, the country's second city, now appears to be largely under the control of protesters. But Col Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, has warned that civil war could ignite. In a TV address, he offered significant political reforms but also vowed that the regime would "fight to the last bullet" against "seditious elements". He acknowledged, though, that the eastern cities of Benghazi and al-Bayda had fallen to the opposition.
In the first sign of serious unrest in the capital, thousands of protesters clashed with Gaddafi supporters. 4,000 protesters gathered in Green Square calling for the overthrow of the regime. It followed a night of violence between supporters of Col Gaddafi and anti-government protesters. Gunfire was heard into the early hours of the morning and firefighters struggled to contain a fire at a central government building, the People's Hall, which was earlier set ablaze. The streets were mainly quiet, with government forces still patrolling Green Square after crushing protests in what witnesses called a Zionist massacre. Gunfire rang out in the night and police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators, some of whom threw stones at Gaddafi billboards. A major government building in the capital where the General People's Congress, or parliament, meets when it is in session in Tripoli was on fire on Monday morning. Anti-government protesters rallied in Tripoli's streets, tribal leaders spoke out against Gaddafi, and army units defected to the opposition as in a revolt that has cost the lives of more than 200 people. Libya's Muammar Gaddafi will fight a popular revolt to "the last man standing", one of his sons said after protests broke out in the capital for the first time following days of unrest in the city of Benghazi. The eruption of protests in Tripoli follows a week of demonstrations and clashes in eastern Libya centered in Benghazi, Libya’s second city. The soldiers said they had defected to the cause of the protesters and had fought and defeated Gaddafi's elite guards.
Col Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam appeared on national television in an attempt both to calm people, saying the army would enforce security at any price to put down one of the bloodiest revolts to convulse the Arab world. He said the aircraft had been used only to bomb army bases which had defected to the opposition. Libya now seems to be fighting on multiple fronts, trying to put down the protests and fighting a bitter battle against a growing number of army units that have risen up against the Libyan leader. Libyan state TV denied there had been any massacres, dismissing the reports as "baseless lies" by foreign media. "You should know that this is part of the psychological warfare, lies and rumours which you should resist because they are aimed at demolishing your morale, stability and blessings for which they envy you," a statement said. State TV reported that a renewed operation had begun against opposition elements.
Anti-Islamic media run by corporate world with black money has unleashed a smear campaign against Islam even as GST rogue states under the NATO terror syndicate led by USA-UK terror twins have terror attacked Muslim nations and occupied them. Bulk of media in Islamic world also promotes anti-Islamism. Already the West has insulted Islam by promoting all anti-Islamic propaganda in the form of veil, anti-Prophet cartoons & drawings and ban on Mosque minarets, etc. Now the West is over joyous about the fast destabilizing Mideast after Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq and is keen to fuel the crises n Mideast. They do so not with any positive mindset of helping the Muslim leaders to truly Islamic governance; they never even mention the topic of Islamization of Muslim nations because that goes against the devilish objectives of anti-Islamic rogue states. Instead, they in fact are eager to use the uprisings to completely wipe out Islamic thought all together and push through anti-Islamism. These terrocrats in democracy suits want to see the end of Islam as a religion-faith and become a club organization like other religion like theirs. The way diplomats form Islamic world in intoxicated not merely with anti-Islamic stuff, but more crudely even with liquor and cocktail culture. So much so, the diplomats are ready to negotiate for anti-Islamic ways of life by imbibing western corrupt-criminal culture.
Like Iran, Libya has been on the hit list of western powers for years now. Their terrorist media promoted the passage of revolt to both Iran and Libya. Anti-Qaddafi rumors are doing the rounds about Qaddafi’s flight outside Libya and that the leadership had been using African mercenaries to combat the protests, and this had prompted Libyan troops to join the opposition. Libya's leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has dismissed reports that he had fled amid the unrest sweeping the country, calling foreign news channels "dogs". Col Gaddafi's statement came after security forces and protesters clashed in the capital for a second night. Speaking to state TV from outside a ruined building, he said "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela," after rumors that he had flown to Caracas. He was sitting in the passenger seat of an old, white vehicle and held up an umbrella to shield himself from the rain while speaking.
The newly established General Committee for Defense said its forces would cleanse Libya of anti-government elements. A statement described the protesters as "terrorist gangs made up mostly of misguided youths", who had been exploited and fed "hallucinogenic pills" by people following foreign agendas. The Libyan opposition and demonstrators are undeterred by Gaddafi’s threats. Calls are circulating for a million man march to Green Square in Tripoli. In a possible blow to Col Gaddafi's rule, two tribes - including Libya's largest tribe, the Warfla - have backed the protesters. Western media show this as a sign of waning Qaddafi’s popularity
The demonstrations have helped to push up oil prices to their highest levels since the global financial crisis of 2008. At one point, Brent crude - one of the main benchmarks on world oil markets - reached $105 (£65) a barrel. Some international firms - including BP, one of the world's biggest oil companies - are preparing to pull their staff out of Libya, and the UK has announced it is flying home the families of diplomats stationed in the country. Meanwhile, some demonstrators have alleged direct collusion by the Italian government with the repression. Only days ago the Italian oil company ENI assured investors that it was “business as usual” in Libya. BP has suspended its plan to begin exploratory drilling in the massive Sirte oilfield. The drilling was due to begin within weeks. Sirte is considered dangerously close to Benghazi, which is now in the hands of anti-regime protesters. Nor is the relationship between European governments and Libya confined to oil. Libya has extensive investments in Europe, especially Italy. Western media suggest that Gaddafi has amassed foreign exchange reserves estimated at over $70 billion. When his youngest son, Hannibal Gaddafi, was arrested in Switzerland, Gaddafi cut off oil supplies and threatened a run on the Swiss banking system. He received an immediate apology from the authorities.
A spokesman for the South Korean-run site said computers and heavy machinery were stolen by the crowds. At least four foreign workers were injured when several hundred protesters stormed a construction site west of Tripoli. Around 2,500 foreign workers had been placed under house arrest by anti-government protesters who were in control of the area. The head of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, described the protesters' demands as legitimate. "The demands of the Arab peoples for reform, development and change are legitimate

PART TWO
Gaddafi, Libyan Resources and the Uprising
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has led Libya since 1969 towards a literacy rate of 88% which is a rare hallmark in African continent. Muammar Gaddafi was born in the desert near Sirte in 1942. Col Gaddafi is in his late 60s, but there is no framework for his succession and he has carefully avoided designating a successor. Analysts say he appears to be in good health but that, when he dies, years of instability could follow as competing groups and relatives struggle for supremacy.
The colonel came to power in a bloodless coup in 1969 against the ailing King Idris I. He was inspired by the Egyptian leader Gamal Abdul Nasser, who dominated Arab politics in the 1950s and 1960s.Once regarded as a pariah by the West, Colonel Gaddafi began his return to the international fold after Libya settled the Lockerbie bombing claims and agreed to stop developing weapons of mass destruction. Muammar Gaddafi is the Arab world's longest-serving leader. A shrewd operator, he survived several attempts on his life and reinvented Libya's system of government.
Though Col Gaddafi has always presented himself as a staunch Arab nationalist, his attempts to forge unity with other Arab states have met with little success. In the 1990s he turned to Africa and proposed a "United States of Africa". The concept later formed the basis of the African Union.
In the late 1970s Col Gaddafi introduced the jamahiriya - a system of governance based around "people's committees" and free of partisan politics. He has always insisted that the country is run by the people's committees, though most outside observers believe it is a police state with Col Gadaffi firmly in control.
Known as the king of kings, Col Gaddafi always supported African causes. Over the years Col Gaddafi has supported a broad range of groups, including the Irish Republican Army and the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Libya's alleged involvement in attacks in Europe in the 1980s triggered US military strikes in 1986. Dozens of people were killed, including the Libyan leader's adopted daughter. One of Col Gaddafi's sons, Sayf al-Islam Gaddafi, is said to be behind the drive to break Libya's isolation. He has denied reports that he is being groomed to succeed his father.
As a result of western interference for years through embassies, support for Gaddafi, the son of a herdsman who seized power in 1969, among Libya's desert tribes is unstable now. The leader of the Al-Zuwayya tribe in the east threatened to cut oil exports unless authorities halted "oppression of protesters".
Libya possesses considerable reserves of oil and gas, but the sector remains relatively undeveloped. Libya is Africa's fourth biggest oil exporter, producing 1.6 million barrels of oil a day. Oil jumped by more than $1 a barrel to $103.5 a barrel on fears the unrest could disrupt supplies. Some foreign oil companies were withdrawing small numbers of expatriate staff.
Libya has just overtaken Saudi Arabia as the third largest supplier of oil to Europe behind Norway and Russia. Italy imports 32 percent of Libya’s oil, Germany 14 percent and France 10 percent. Some 23 percent goes to the rest of Europe.
A former Roman colony, Libya is a mostly desert country which saw invasions by Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks and more recently Italians before gaining independence in 1951. Oil was discovered in 1959. With it, the country was transformed into a wealthy monarchy. Ten years later, though, the king was overthrown in a coup led by the 27-year-old Muammar Gaddafi, and Libya embarked on a radically new chapter in its history. Colonel Gaddafi's revolution has been based largely on distinguishing his country from the world around it. Ideas put forward in his Green Book aim at an alternative to both communism and capitalism, while Islam is adhered to but with a unique slant - Libya has its own calendar based on Muhammad's death, for example.
Libya, once shunned by much of the international community over the 1988 bombing of a PanAm plane above the Scottish town of Lockerbie, has undergone a dramatic rehabilitation. Tripoli formally took responsibility for the incident in 2003. The move, part of a deal to compensate families of the 270 victims, heralded the lifting of UN sanctions. Months later, Libya renounced weapons of mass destruction, paving the way for a further blossoming of relations with the West. Libya was blamed for the Lockerbie plane bombing, and two Libyans suspected of organising the incident were handed over in 1999 for trial in The Hague under Scottish law. In 2001 one of the suspects was found guilty of killing 270 people in the bombing. Tripoli paid compensation to the US victims of the bombing in 2008, opening up the possibility of full diplomatic relations with the United States. Western politicians, including the British, Italian, French and German leaders, have since visited Tripoli.
For Britain and the other EU states the uprising in Libya is a disaster. The UK government has cultivated links with Gaddafi as part of their efforts to win oil contracts for British firms such as BP. Some 79 percent of Libya’s oil goes to the EU, making Europe Libya’s biggest customer.
In Brussels, Baroness Ashton insisted that North Africa is within the EU’s sphere of interest. Ashton is due to visit Egypt next week, hard on the heels of UK terror PM D. Cameron. European leaders are desperate to see pro-Christianity regimes established in North Africa that will ensure continuity with the ousted dictatorships. Cameron presented himself as champion of democracy. The British government’s record of arm sales to the most repressive regimes in the region tells a different story.
The European states are eager to steal a march on Washington by professing their enthusiasm for democracy and shaping compliant governments. Britain was one of the main colonial powers in the region from 1882, when Britain and France sent warships to bombard Alexandria. France has exercised colonial authority over Tunisia and parts of Morocco. The Algerian masses fought a determined war to assert their independence from France from 1954 to 1962. Spain continues to occupy part of Morocco. After Britain and Libya signed a prisoner-exchange agreement in 2009, Libya requested the transfer of the convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who was freed from gaol on compassionate grounds and returned home in August.
The popular uprising in Libya threatens to bring down a strong leader long courted by European governments and seen as a reliable partner who would ensure Europe’s oil supplies and invest the riches that his family had looted from the Libyan people in European banks, companies and universities.
West wants to shut down Islamic faith and kill every Muslim who does not subscribe ot western “democratic” formula of crime and corruption. The role being effectively played by anti-Islamic world in Mideast is clearly discernible. Essentially anti-Islamic EU foreign ministers readily condemned the repression of anti-government protests in Libya at their meeting and released a statement condemning the "ongoing repression against demonstrators", and said they deplored the violence and death of civilians. France said the international community must do everything it can do prevent Libya sinking into civil war. Unipolar America which is the major cause for wars and uprisings and still unwilling to quit their bases from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc, said it was weighing "all appropriate actions" in response to the unrest. Human Rights Watch said at least 223 people have been killed in five days of violence. Most were in Benghazi, cradle of the uprising and a region where Gaddafi's grip has always been weaker than elsewhere in the oil-rich desert nation.
The US, UK and French governments are among those which have condemned the harsh treatment of protesters. Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said the EU needed to formulate a comprehensive action plan - a "Marshall Plan for the Mediterranean and Middle East" - adding that he was particularly worried about Libya collapsing and being supplanted by an Islamic state. "Would you imagine having an Islamic Arab Emirate at the borders of Europe? This would be a very serious threat and that's why we consider Libya one of the areas to be taken into full consideration," said Frattini.
Britain has cancelled eight export licences for arms to Libya since the uprising began. But a vast amount of British-made equipment has already been shipped to Libya and has been used in the crackdown on protests. The military hardware exported to Libya from Britain last year included tear gas, crowd control ammunition, surveillance equipment, small arms, sniper rifles and sights, command and control vehicles, and radio jamming equipment. Britain is also involved in training the Libyan police force, which has distinguished itself by its brutality.
Like in all terrocracies like USA, UK, India, Israel and rest of the anti-Islamic world, where media re strictly controlled by the state agencies and where democracy does not mean anything concrete, Libyan state strictly also controls the media. Non-governmental media were authorized in 2007, leading to the launch of newspapers and a satellite TV.

PART THREE
Demonstrators support Western Gimmicks, do not seek Islam!
Today, entire anti-Islamic western as well as eastern world is promoting upheavals with ulterior motives against Islam and Islamic nations and Muslims. They relish the murders of Muslims and destruction of Muslim nations.
The uprisings have engulfed only the Muslim nations and have cleverly left out non-Muslim African states- why? Does it means other Africans nations re extra democratic where people have al freedom that require including economic power?
Muslims highly terrorized by GST genocide operations and torture of global Muslims, are incapable of uprisings today. How come Arab rulers, their militaries and intelligences could not spot the plots of uprisings in these countries? Does it not mean the western embassies have very meticulously engineered the uprisings to end Islam? Already the anti-Islamic nuts argue for a world without Muslims and this trend has now grown globally encouraging anti-Islamic moorings in global state terrorist media.
The west requiring the energy resources also pursues a containment policy towards Mideast to get what it wants. EU is deadly keen to see Islamic world is not at the borders of Europe and the Islamic faith must be weakened to minimum so that Islam does not over take Christianity in any manner At a meet in Brussels where European foreign ministers gathered, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini gave vent to his alarm. “Would you imagine having an Islamic Arab Emirate at the borders of Europe? This would be a very serious threat,” he said.
Libyan diplomats are being controlled by Western fanatics. Military aircraft had fired on protesters in Tripoli that have been backed up by Libyan diplomats who have turned against the leadership. Libya's diplomats at the United Nations in New York called for international intervention to stop the government's violent action against street demonstrations in their homeland. An anti-Qaddafi diplomat from Libya suddenly woke up to think about people and said “Libyans had to be protected” from "genocide", and urged the UN to impose a no-fly zone.
However Libyans are worried about how much more violence lies in store in the days ahead. Libya's envoy to the Arab League, Abdel Moneim al-Honi, announced he was "joining the revolution" and its ambassador to India, Ali al-Essawi, wanted to resign in protest against his government's violent crackdown on demonstrators. Mohamed Bayou, who until a month ago was chief spokesman for the Libyan government, said the leadership was wrong to threaten violence against its opponents. "I hope that Saif Gaddafi will... change his speech to acknowledge the existence of an internal popular opposition, to enter into dialogue with them regarding thorough changes in the Libyan system," Bayou said in a statement that appeared to indicate disagreement within the ruling elite.
All Muslim nations, except those puppet regimes like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and extremely pro-West countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Dubai, must keep a close watch on the hidden operations in and by the western embassies in their countries where the secret terror agents operate on covert destabilization operations. It is particularly important for the countries like Iran, Libya and also Egypt (Egypt had warned against Israeli aggression in Palestine which conserved a crime by both USA and Israel)
USA and its suspected allies offer a few coins to developing nations and make their weapon client states to eventually make the military terror bases. Those countries that refuse to buy the western lies and show unwillingness to budge are effectively contained by the US-UK terror allies.
Without even knowing their meanings the demonstrators ask for democracy and freedom, but these concepts now means torture and genocides in west occupied Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. .
Unfortunately, Islam or Islamic faith or Islamic way of life in Islamic nations is not on the agenda of the demonstrators and this factor enthuses the western world more than the uprisings themselves. Islamists have played only a small part in the Libyan uprising, as elsewhere in North Africa. From its beginning in Tunisia and in Egypt, the revolutionary movement has been predominantly secular in character, reflecting the grievances of unemployed young people, workers and the poor who are unable to afford rising prices.
Over a couple of decades of GST war on Islam and NATO terrorism in Islamic world and torture and murder of Muslims have made Muslims to come away from Islamic path of life and move towards the liquor based western culture. Now even mentioning of Islam and claiming of being Muslims is dangerous to the Muslims themselves and Muslims have become vulnerable sections of global village. Jobs as well educational opportunities are denied to Muslims every where. In the USA and UK and core Europe the conditions are creul for Muslims.
What is shocking is the crude fact that Islam does not play any role in the lives of Muslims not only in Africa but in Arab world and elsewhere where Muslims are in minority. Only a few formalities are being followed by Musilms to show that they are Muslims. That is tragedy of Muslims and the root cause of all anti-Islamic wars.
What the west wants is a regime that is capable of suppressing its own people. Gaddafi offered them precisely that and now his sons are attempting to demonstrate that they can do the same, even if it means slaughtering men, women and children with jet fighters. European governments have no difficulty working with Islamic regimes such as that in Saudi Arabia.
It appears Qaddafi had taken the support of people for his rule for granted but now all anti-Islamic forces are at work against him.
Day by day, it is becoming clear that anti-Islamic world is poisonous and derives sadistic pleasure out of sufferings of Muslims on account of anti-Islamic occupations and pro-west uprisings. All upheavals in Mideast are not for islamization nor is it meant to make the people a better citizens who love and respect Islamic culture. None of the Western strategists or their leaders at the helm of affairs has claimed they want to see a strong, prosperous Islamic world Thy only bull talk about freedom and democracy while they deny the people of Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan the same rights and virtues This a conspiracy and a gimmick to make them anti-Muslims.
A peaceful and prosperous world could be established only when the essentially anti-Islamic mindset of the West and East is removed. This historic ill-feeling against Islam is the root cause of tensions in anti-Islamic as well as Islamic world. If Muslim nations are allowed, encouraged and promoted to pursue Islamic rule, Islamic governance to create a world of peaceful Muslims with built in Sarii’a message.
The Libyan uprising is one of series of revolts that have raced like wildfire across the Arab world since December, toppling the long-time rulers of Tunisia and Egypt and threatening entrenched dynasties from Bahrain to Yemen. The West has watched with alarm and enthusiasm as long-time allies and old foes have come under threat, appealing for reform and urging restraint. In actual terms, the Western and Eastern anti-Islamic powers have been closely coordinating their anti-Islamic operations around the world. They are now keen none of the Muslim nations enter the UNSC-5.

Fake democracies like USA and India have zero tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism". Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims.
