Just a few days ago, a Danish paper had access to the secret press policy of the Danish Defense Force in regards to the new coalition war in Iraq and Syria. It reveals that Denmark is coordinating the communication very closely with both USA and Great Britain, and that Denmark directly has told the US Central Command (CENTCOM), not to mention Danish airstrikes in Iraq.
The secret press policy states: "It is the objective of the collective communication activity, to strengthen the understanding and support of the military contribution within the population and the decision makers".
Comment:
All systems and governments need public opinion to in order to maintain a stable and productive society, and this is where the battle for hearts and minds become crucial. In order to justify political decisions, politics, media and public opinion become close related.
Denmark has participated in all US-led coalition wars since the first invasion of Iraq in 1990, but there has been as good as no debate about it, and now 15 years later, it has become completely natural for the population to send their sons and husbands to war without any consideration. It is to the extent, that analysts say that the Danes have become more American than the Americans, because no one debates American decisions. This is unique for Denmark since it is due to an almost unanimous support for the wars across the political spectra and from all large national media, which is found very few places in the world.
A Senior Researcher at Danish Studies for International Affairs (DIIS), who studied the Danish war mentality, earlier stated, that the lack of debate stems from the understanding that, as a small nation there has to be political consensus about security policy. Based on this consensus, moral and diplomatic arguments to the public, have justified 15 years of unbroken loyalty to US led wars.
All this is uncritically supported and portrayed by mainstream media, which only adds to create and cement public opinion. A study, from the University of Copenhagen, by the title: "When Media of a Small Nation Argue for War", states that, to a large extent Danish media reflects the opinion of the political elite. This is further strengthened by the fact that all Danish journalists are embedded when visiting conflict zones, and always focus on ends and not means. The focus is on humanitarian goals and not civilian casualties.
In line with Obama, they claim that it is a war on terror and not against Islam. This is while creating negative stereotypes of Muslims and Islam and frightening the population with talk of overhanging terror threats.
It is vital for Muslims at large, and especially for those who have taken it upon themselves to resume the Islamic way of life, to understand these relations, mechanisms and our role. We need to expose the real motivations and the devastating result of wars against Islam and in Muslim lands. Not only towards the Muslim minority, but also towards the original western populations.
An increased awareness within the original population could result in lack of public support for further invasions of Muslims lands. This will not only benefit us as a Muslim nation on a short run, but also on the long run. When the Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" according to the method of the Prophet ﷺ is established, it might weaken support for declaring unconditional war.
It is time for us Muslims, here in the west, to break loose from the mental chains of inferiority and fear. We need to challenge stereotypes and propaganda and engage in the battle for hearts and minds.

In Netanyahu's speech before the US Congress on 03/03/2015, he affirmed his rejection of what America is conducting with Iran regarding Iran's nuclear program. This was during his visit, which was not according to the usual protocol, it was without permission, not even of Obama or his Democratic Party in Congress, what was described by some observers as an insult to Obama, does this mean that American relations with the Jewish state has entered the stage of severing relations or a state of hostility? Are these events related to the elections in the Jewish state and in America? What is expected from the results of the elections in both countries? Jazak Allah khair.

On March 5, 2015, Pakistani Senator proudly announced that for the first time in Pakistan, the two-day ‘Think Tanks Forum of the Islamic Countries' would be held on March 7-8, in Islamabad, under the joint auspices of Pakistan-China Institute (PCI), the Turkish Asian Centre for Strategic Studies (TASAM), the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), a German think tank, and Pakistan's Senate Committee on Defence. Senator Mushahid Hussain is the Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Think Tanks Forum, which Pakistan is hosting for the first time. The Forum has a 9-member board of eminent persons from different Muslim countries, where Senator Mushahid Hussain will be representing Pakistan, while other represented countries include Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Bangladesh, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Malaysia and Sudan. This time Germany will also be attending. So the question arises, why is Pakistan convening this form on its soil for the very first time and for what purpose?
Comment:
Well according to Senator Mushahid Hussain the purpose of the meeting is about Addressing Multi-Dimensional Security Challenges in the Islamic Countries. Newspaper reports provide further details and have mentioned the following topics to be discussed and debated: security challenges (such as terrorism, extremism and cyber security); cooperation in defense, politics and economy; dialogue among Muslims to promote unity; as well as promoting a soft power image of Muslim countries as a whole.
So one may assume that finally the Muslim countries have mustered enough courage and dignity to expose the role of America in waging war in Muslim countries, supporting tyrants to crush Muslim populations, carrying out assassinations in multiple Islamic lands, promoting sectarianism in a bid to conquer and divide Muslim lands to form a new map of the Muslim world.
The plain answer is this, this assumption is wrong from the outset. Rather, the gathering of intellectuals in Islamabad from the aforementioned countries are surrogates of America who have been handed clear instructions to find new styles to wage war against Islam and the Muslim people. No doubt these styles will be disguised under the banner of fighting terrorism and promoting unity in the Muslim world.
The other odd thing to note about this gathering is the presence of a Germany think tank Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. No, the representatives of the Islamic countries are not going to discuss the shortcomings of capitalism, glaring fallacies of Western liberal democracy, and the duplicity of West's selective application of human-rights. Only the opposite is true.
The German think-tank serves two objectives. First, Germany's presence is more palatable to Pakistani population than an American think tank. Second, its role is to ensure that Western culture and civilization permeates all aspects of life in the Muslim world. Senator Mushahid's own words confirm this. He said, "With the active cooperation of our German partner KAS in this important event, Germany's growing role as a bridge between the West and the East, between cultures, civilisations and religions, between Europe and Asia/the Arab World, will be reinforced. "
It is the duty of Muslim intellectuals to take lead in exposing the plans of the Western powers, rebutting the shortcoming of their way of life and offering Islam as a comprehensive solution not only to Western countries but to the whole of mankind. Allah (swt) says:
((وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ))
"And We have sent you (O Muhammad) not but as a mercy for the Aalameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists)" [al-Anbiya' 21:107]
Submitting to the agenda of the West is intellectual and political suicide, no matter how sincere the intentions may be. Allah (swt) says:
((وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ إِنَّ اللّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ))
"And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. [TMQ: Al Maedah:2]
