The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order UNPREJUDICED COMMENTS The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat expresses it views frankly, openly, honestly and impartially, not out of spite, prejudice, bigotry or with ulterior motives. The Jamaat believes in the Oneness and Unity of God, and acts and speaks in that belief. In the circumstances, the Jamaat cannot harbour prejudices, bigotry or ill-feelings, because such feelings cannot co-exist in the minds of those who believe in the Oneness and Unity of God. Once a person believes implicitly in the Oneness and Unity of God, that person cannot possibly entertain feelings of prejudice or bigotry in expressing his views. This is a fundamental and unchangeable law. I declare on behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaal that the comments I make are based on truth and I do so honestly and impartially. They may appear bitter to some. But no m atter how bitter they may appear to be, the world, if not today then in the near future, will accept the truth of what I say and will agree to this truth that I made these comments without any trace of prejudice, bigotry or ulterior motives. However, there are other matters which need to be addressed, matters which cause us deep and painful distress. Take for instance the haughty and arrogant posture of the U. S. President, when he talks of Iraq or those countries which have not submitted to his will. He talks and acts as if he were "God Almighty" descended on earth. A true believer in the Oneness and Unity of God cannot and will not bow his head to such arrant arrogance. There are various kinds of idolatry and false objects of worship but the most detestable and abhorrent form is that associated with arrogance. Therefore, it is the foremost duty of a believer in the Unity of God to raise his voice to protest against the manifestation of overweening arrogance. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat is the foremost among those who believe in the Oneness and Unity of God, it is the standard-bearer of that belief, and in fact the duty of preserving that concept and belief has devolved on it. Therefore, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community raises its voice of protest against all forms of idolatry and the setting up of false idols and all kinds of arrogance. No fear of the world can stifle this voice. We will do so without fear or trepidation because we must condemn false idols or entities masquerading as "God". We will never submit to such false 185
