Why Do Egoistic Leaders Scorch the Earth?
POWER and politics are a game of acquisitiveness engrossed in inordinate and monopolistic adventures. Something evocative and hauntingly familiar about the 21st century’s leaders claiming to be intelligent but acting foolishly to bomb Mother Earth under the pretext of conquests and imperial domination. Holistic life and co-existence within the universe have no meaning to their strategic agenda. Ferocious scenarios about the future of the Arab World are originating from Israel-indoctrinated policies and hawkish advisors of President Donald Trump. Gaza and the West Bank in Palestine are the net victims. The traitors are within the leading oil-exporting Arab leadership.
Understanding Arab-Persian sectarian rifts, “the Operation Midnight Hammer” hit Iran conveniently without any formidable response or reaction to American power over Arab countries. If the Arab-Muslim people had unity, it could not have happened. Analyse Russia vs. America, would Trump dare to attack Russia? Certainly NOT because Vladimir Putin would respond forcefully to make America understand its power. The Arab-Muslim leaders look wicked and weak. Iran must rethink critically about its strengths and weaknesses to defend its freedom and sovereignty. The Iran-Israel conflict could restart anytime. The Arab-Muslim leaders’ inexplicable plunge into a political cataclysm has led to Gaza being bombed daily by the IDF and Palestine has lost to the “Greater Israel” plan. To America and the EU, Arab-Muslim societies remain a colonised hub subservient in manners and morals to Western imperialism. Hatred of Islam and ethnic sarcasm shape the American and European political thoughts, morals, international law, humanitarianism and competitive values, justifying their own version of rights, politics and status of ethnic superiority and denial to others in blatant violations within the working of global systems of states.
Those dropping bombs on Earth are not normal beings but think and act like wild beasts. After the 9/11, the US, Britian and NATO invaded Afghanistan killing and disrupting millions, then conspired a false premise and pretext of the WMD, it was Iraq, they committed genocide of three million civilians; then Syria bombed and devastated for the ISIS; and now Iran for alleged nuclear weapons which do not exist. American violent assumptions of “terrorism” plagued the Islamic landscape. Why was Israel not scrutinised by the West for having 50-90 or so nuclear arsenals threatening the peace and security of the region?
The Earth – a Splendid Divine Creation
The Earth, a creation of God, exists, serves His purpose equally to all creations of God, and floats in the universe without any pillars. It clarifies now and will do the same on the Day of Judgment – Day of Truth: O People, the chief creation of God! you appear adapted to intellect, fortitude and fortune being a victim of ignorance, superstition and arrogance against me – your Mother Earth. I am not a property of any nation, state, geography or corporation but a Divine hub of life beyond human imagination, survival and trust. Those bombing and destroying me are mentally sick and defy the Divine Truth. Their hearts beat and they breathe oxygen on me and exhibit petty behaviours to politics as a scum floating on a torrent. Sketch out your genius, I am a living being and spin at 1670 km per hour to orbit the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. What could occur to all the living beings on Earth if this spinning stalls? Think again, the average distance of Earth from Moon is 93 million miles – the distance of Moon from Earth is currently 384,821 km, equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units. Recall, Earth is a “trust” to mankind for its existence, sustenance of life, survival, progress, and future-making, so, “Fear God Who created life and death.” Is human intelligence still intact to understand this reality? Where there is trust, there is accountability. All human beings are accountable for their actions. (The Qur’an: 22: 66): It is God Who gave you life. Will cause you to die. And will again give you Life. Truly, man (human being) is a most ungrateful creature! Whether you believe or betray, life is a continuous struggle, a trust and a trial in all ages.
Do you not see my existence floating in space by the command of God? My existence brings day into night, rotating sun and moon to your service; otherwise, life will cease to exist. Think again! How God produced water, mixing oxygen and hydrogen for your life, oxygen to breathe, climate changes, oil for engines, water to drink, seas to travel, mountains, oil, gases, and rare minerals and all other necessities needed for your nature at all times for change and technological progress. Don’t forget uranium to make bombs, and hydrogen bombs and unknown space weapons are all readily stockpiled to be used on fellow human beings to repeat Hiroshima, Nagasaki and now Gaza, Ukraine and Iran. But this is nothing new in human consciousness and history; more of the same has already happened on earth – Fascist-Nazi claimed: “We are the most powerful armies of the world to defend our standards of living” – “who is more powerful than us?”
Sadistic Leaders are Accountable
Are we witnessing a time when most precautionary vigilance is liable to consequential surprises? How foolish and stupid they are assuming superior ethnicity, nationalism, economic power and invincible armed forces have bombed the Mother Earth again and again for petty things of their own wrong thinking.

Rejecting cynicism of infinity, nations do rise and fall throughout history. The US Empire in its infancy, European imperialists, Israelis, the oil-soaked mindless Arab-Muslim rulers, and other warlords – the acclaimed insane killers and aggressors – fearful of the self and the unknown future – don’t repeat the history:
“Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before them. They were even superior to them in strength: they tilled the earth and populated it in greater numbers than these have done. It was not God Who wronged them but they wronged their own souls.” (The Quran: 30:9)
The Divine warning (The Qur’an: 99:1-3) is self-explanatory to those who claim to have invincible armies and achieve success at the cost of ruthlessness, horrors of wars and bombing of the Mother Earth. Listen carefully: When the Earth is shaken to her utmost convulsion. And Earth throws up her burdens (from within). And Man cries (distressed) ‘What is the matter with her?’
