The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 111
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order background, as I had mentioned in my previous sermon, is the past colonial rule of the Western nations in Africa which took various shapes and divided the African nations. People who spoke common language were divided. Tribes were divided in such a way that instead of down playing them, the differences were made to emerge more prominently. Previously as a result of hostility between the Soviet Union and America some nations had gained protection against other nations. Now, this protection cannot continue so that after a time their internal conflicts will start to surface. Whatever has happened in Liberia is in actual fact due to the above mentioned reasons. Previously, the Western nations were keenly interested in Liberia and had thus kept Liberia's national differences under some control but when the tension between Soviet Union and America ended, those dangers suddenly re-emerged. Now, in the name of democracy, voices are being raised to install a multi-party system throughout Africa. So, from the point of view of politics also, Africa is facing many dangers.

From this point of view and with regard to the boundary differences and unfortunately from the religious point of view as well, they face many kinds of dangers. The difficulty is that no collective attempt has been made so far to eliminate those dangers. From this, one can conclude that when the Western nations say that they have united the whole world and made them aware of the danger of Iraq, and that it is a splendid achievement for the protection of world peace, they are talking about unreal things and are making false claims which have no truth. All these dangers which I have put before you constitute only a few examples. There are untold dangers which are buried in various places like Volcanic material. Some are giving out hissing sounds and are, as if, ready to explode. Some will eventually explode after a while. But the divisions which are national, linguistics, and religious are all, but ready to play their lethal hand. I will put a few more examples before you. SOME FlJRTHER EXAMPLES OF NATIONAL PRF,JUDICES The old enmity between the Greek and Turkish nations, had been suppressed because of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Since Greece was a Western country and Turkey was also a member of NATO as one of its region is in Europe, the interest of the Western 111
