I-Mosque Eyanyamalala

NguRobert C. Koehler, Izimangaliso Ezivamile.

Senze ubugebengu obuncane bempi obuthule ngolunye usuku. Abantu abangamashumi amane nangaphezulu bashonile, bakhishwe ngemicibisholo yesihogo somlilo ngesikhathi bethandaza.

Noma mhlawumbe cha. Mhlawumbe babengamavukela-mbuso nje. Abesifazane nezingane, uma bekhona, . . . woza, uyasazi inhloso, umonakalo oyisibambiso. IPentagon "izobheka" izinsolo zokuthi okwenzeka ngoMashi 16 odlule edolobhaneni lase-al-Jinah enyakatho yeSyria bekuyinto engathi sína kakhulu kunomkhankaso wokuthatha amaphekula, okuthi, uma ufunda ukuhlaziya okusemthethweni, kubonakale kufana nokulingana kwezepolitiki. yokulawula amagundane.

Okuhlosiwe “kwahlolwa njengendawo yokuhlangana ye-al-Qaeda, futhi sathatha isiteleka,” kuchaza umkhulumeli we-US Central Command. Isiteleka sibandakanya ama-drone amabili e-Reaper (njengaku-Grim Reaper) kanye nomthwalo wazo wezikhali ezicitshwayo ze-Hellfire, kanye nebhomu elingamaphawundi angama-500.

Okuhlosiwe, okungenani ngokwezinhlangano zamalungelo abantu kanye nezakhamizi eziphansi, kwakuyi-mosque ngesikhathi somkhuleko.

“Izikhulu zaseMelika zathi iziteleka . . . ibulale 'inqwaba' yamasosha emhlanganweni weqembu lamaphekula," ngokusho kombiko Washington Post. “Kodwa izishoshovu zendawo kanye neqembu eliqaphile babike ukuthi okungenani abantu abangu-46 bashonile, futhi abaningi bavaleleke ngaphansi kwemfucumfucu, ngesikhathi ukuhlasela kugasela i-mosque ngesikhathi somhlangano wenkolo. . . . Izithombe zasendaweni zikhombise abasebenzi bokutakula bedonsa izidumbu ezigcwele imfucumfucu.”

Kutshele isakhamuzi sendawo Agence France-Presse: “Ngabona izidumbu ezingu-15 nezitho eziningi emfucumfucwini lapho ngifika. Asikwazanga ngisho ukubona ezinye zezidumbu.”

Phakathi nemizuzwana engu-30 yokunaka indaba eyatholwa, impikiswano yayiwukuthi ingabe i-mosque eyashaywa noma isakhiwo ngaphesheya komgwaqo we-mosque. I-Pentagon yaze yasihlukanisa nesithombe semiphumela yokuqhuma kwamabhomu, ebonisa ukuthi ibhilidi elincane eduze komgodi webhomu osabekayo lisamile. Nokho, ngokusho I-Intercept: "Izishoshovu nabaphenduli bokuqala bathi isakhiwo ebesiqondiswe kuso besiyingxenye yesakhiwo samaSulumane - nokuthi imfucumfucu eshile eboniswe esithombeni yilapho abantu abangu-300 bebethandaza khona ngesikhathi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu."

Noma kunjalo, umjikelezo wezindaba waqhubeka. Umcabango wami wokuqala, lapho ngifunda mayelana nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu, okungachazwanga njengokubulawa kwabantu abaningi noma ukubulawa ezihlokweni ezivamile, kodwa kwahlala “kuyisigameko,” ukuthi abezindaba banesivumelwano esimisiwe mayelana nokuziphatha: Ukubulala KULUNGILE inqobo nje uma kungenamizwa. , ihlakaniphe ngendlela ebandayo futhi inamasu (ngisho noma kuyiphutha). Lena indlela yaseMelika. Ukubulawa kwamasu okubandayo kungabikwa ngendlela yokuthi kungene nengqalasizinda yomhlaba wonke yokuphepha kanye nokulawulwa kobubi.

Kodwa ukubulala kubi uma kukhona inkanuko. I-passion ixhunyaniswa kalula "ne-extremism" kanye nokucabanga okungalungile. Indoda ebulewe kule nyanga ngamaphoyisa eParis' I-Orly Airport, ngokwesibonelo, wayekhale, “Ngilapha ukuze ngifele u-Allah— kuzoba khona ukufa.”

Lokhu kufanelana kahle nesiqiniseko sokuziphatha samazwe aseNtshonalanga. Qhathanisa lokhu nenkulumo yezempi ye-PR, nayo eyabikwa kuyi-Intercept: “Indawo,” ngokusho komkhulumeli Wezempi Yasempi Yase-US, “yabhekwa kakhulu ngaphambi kwesiteleka ukuze kuncishiswe ukubulawa kwabantu.”

Kuzo zombili lezi zigameko, abenzi bokubi babone kusengaphambili izidumbu ezishiywe ngemuva kwesenzo sabo. Noma kunjalo, umbutho wezempi waseMelika wakugwema ngokucophelela ukungavunyelwa kokuziphatha komphakathi, noma kwabezindaba. Futhi i-geopolitics isalokhu ingumdlalo wokuhle vs. okubi: inkimbinkimbi yokuziphatha njengabafana abaneminyaka engu-10 ubudala abadlala ama-cowboy namaNdiya.

Engangingakubonanga kusengaphambili ukuthi indaba izoshabalala ngokushesha kangakanani emjikelezweni wezindaba. Ayikwazanga ukuncintisana ne-Trump cacophony yama-tweets namanga nanoma yini enye edlula izindaba ezidliwa yiMelika. Lokhu kwengeza isici esisha ngokuphelele sokunganaki kwabezindaba ezindlekweni zangempela zempi, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi asikho isizwe esingalwa impi engapheli uma abezindaba baso besikhulu benza into enkulu kuwo wonke ama-mosque noma esibhedlela lapho (ngephutha) beqhunyiswa ngamabhomu, noma babeka ubuso babantu. wonke umonakalo wawo wokubambisa.

Lokhu ngikubhala ngokubhuqa nangokubhuqa, kodwa engikuzwayo kuwukuphelelwa ithemba okujulile okujule kakhulu ukuba ngikuqonde. Isintu somhlaba wonke, esiholwa yi-United States of America, amandla amakhulu amakhulu emhlabeni, siguqukela esimweni sempi engapheli. Izibambele ekuzizondeni okungapheli.

"Indlela impi yase-US ithathwa ngayo kalula," UMaya Schenwar kubhala ku-Truthout, “kubukisa izindlela ezinye izinhlobo zodlame oluningi ezibhekwa ngazo njengezingenakugwenywa - amaphoyisa, ukuxoshwa, ukuqothulwa kohlanga kanye nokuqedwa kwabantu boMdabu, uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo oluqhutshwa izimakethe oluxhaphazayo, uhlelo lwemfundo olungalingani kakhulu kanye nezinqubomgomo zemvelo eziyinhlekelele. Umqondo owamukelwa ngokuvamile usitshela ukuthi lezi zinto ziyohlala zikithi: Okungcono kakhulu esingathembela kukho, ngokwalokhu kulandisa, inguquko enesizotha phakathi nobudlova obubi.

Uthi: “Kumelwe sikhethe izinto ezinikeza ukuphila kuqala kunabanobudlova. Kufanele siyeke ukunikeza ukuba semthethweni kwazo zonke izinhlobo zodlame lombuso.”

Yebo, yebo, kodwa kanjani? Isidingo sempi asizange siphonselwe inselelo emazingeni asemthethweni okuphatha kuleli zwe eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amane. Imithombo yezindaba yebhizinisi inika igunya lokusho udlame kakhulu ngalokho engakusho kunalokho ekwenzayo. Ama-mosque aqhunyiswe ngamabhomu avele anyamalale ezindabeni futhi, voila, awakaze enzeke. Abaqamba amanga babe nesithangami somhlaba wonke sokugqugquzela ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq, kanti labo ababekubuza kwadingeka bakhiphe ukucasuka kwabo emakhoneni emigwaqo. “Umonakalo wesibambiso” wukufiphala kolimi, isiqephu somlingo, esifihla ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi.

Futhi uDonald Trump ungaphansi kolawulo lwezempi ezikude kanye nokungavuthwa kwakhe okungenangqondo. Yebo isabelomali sakhe esisha, esikhishwe, njengoba u-Schenwar ebonisa, ngosuku lokukhumbula i-My Lai Massacre, senyusa isabelo sezempi ngama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-54 futhi sichitha ukusetshenziswa kwezenhlalakahle. Njengoba sibhikisha futhi sibhalela uKhongolose izincwadi futhi sizwakalisa ukushaqeka kwethu kanye nokwethuka kwethu ngokwenzekayo, masikhumbule ukuthi uTrump umane abeke ubuso ebuthweni lezempi laseMelika elingalawuleki. Akazange adale.

Ukuze imibhikisho emelene nokwehliswa kwesabelomali sakhe isebenze kahle, ukuze uthuthuva oluqhubekayo lubaluleke, kufanele kube nezwe elisha.
