Day after day the criminal fighters in Irak and Syria - calling themselves "Daech / The Islamic State", and called by the
news agencies "terrorists / Djihadists"- renew their commitment to
both the annihilation of any sign related to previous civilizations and the
establishment of new structures that would rule our perception of reality.
After the looting of the Iraqi museums during the
second Gulf War in 2003 and more than a decade of foreign occupation, the two
previous years gave birth to the most barbarian group in the Arab contemporary
history whose blindness gave us these days one of the most hateful acts which
was the destruction of the museum of Ninewa (Mosul);
and as if it were not enough this
group is finding within his enemies his best allies.
Thus, those who are claiming fighting terror are regionally
the weakest, politically unwilling to choose between political dictatorship and
religious fanaticism, and last but not least economically trading with these criminals who
are tearing the region apart: American cars , Japanese trucks, and weapons from
all over the world in exchange for cheap oil and some other nasty –and mostly
unknown- businesses.
These insane
fanatics have become an essential part of the daily flow of images that are
devastating our houses, our TVs and our favourite Internet pages; that are
penetrating our minds , and that are normalized for our children who will grow
up with this poisonous reality as a possibility that has nothing to be blamed
for.
What are we
doing to stop it ? How shall we fight back? Are we doomed to face a gloomy
century where freedom will be an exception and barbarity will be the norm?
