On the Anniversary of September 11:
Ending Terrorism is still the Task of Civilised Humanity!
One year after the horrific
crime of the Islamists in New
York, the world is still at the
mercy of the two main camps
of reaction and international
terrorism. On one side, the
most powerful apparatus of
state terrorism and international
blackmail, made up of the US
government, NATO and its
Western coalition and the state
of Israel; on the other, Islamic
terrorism and the foul
movement of political Islam.
Both poles of this terrorist camp
have taken people’s lives
hostage around the world. The
US government and the hawks
at the White House and their
allies are banging the drums of
war and massacre, and the
Islamic terrorists are busy
blowing up people to pieces,
stoning people and cutting off
limbs, and ruining lives in
countries plagued by Islam.
People are the victims of both
sides’ terrorism. They are the
ones who have to pay the price
of their terrorism. And they
are the ones who want
freedom and equality and who
can put an end to this
barbarism.
The US government, which
heads a right wing, reactionary
international terrorist pole,
cannot deal with terrorism. ‘A
long war against terrorism’ is,
for the USA, the name of
striking a new balance with
Islamic terrorism and not
putting an end to it. They
themselves have been the
architects and backers of the
reactionary Islamic movement
- from the Taliban and Hamas
to the Islamic states in Iran
and Pakistan. This movement
was brought onto the political
scene as a force to confront
workers’ and left movements,
and it is now demanding its
share of political and economic
power. If the USA and
governments in the West
withdraw their political and
financial support of this
murderous and reactionary
force, people will sweep them
off the political map in no time.
Ending terrorism and
militarism, ending the bombing
of defenceless people, ending
economic sanctions imposed
on millions and ending
occupation and daily
harassment and massacre of
people is the task of civilised
humanity. Ending beheadings,
stonings and amputations,
ending misogyny and Islamic
repression is the task of
freedom lovers, socialists,
workers, and progressive and
secularist movements.
Civilised humanity must come
out against these camps of
reaction and global terrorism.
Neither the defence of the
status quo under the pretext of
‘peace’, nor siding with one of
the terrorist camps, are
acceptable. Neither the
continuation of the current
situation in the world, nor joining
the camp of Islamic
reactionaries under the pretext
of ‘struggle against
imperialism’, nor defending the
terrorist p=olicies of the United
States and NATO under the
pretext of ‘struggle against
Islamic terrorism’ will eliminate
the fear of war and terror. The
secularist and progressive
movement must take on the
entire global reaction. This is
the task of a civilised world that
has no compatibility with any
side of these reactionary and
terrorist camps. People around
the world must lend their
support to those movements
that are fighting Islamic
terrorism and the US and
NATO’s terrorism and who
have raised the banner of
justice and liberation of people.
The streets of cities in the
USA, Europe and all over the
world must become scenes of
massive demonstrations
against the Islamic fascist
movement and their Western
backers - just as they were
during the anti-apartheid
movement in South Africa –
and in support of secularism,
civil rights, women’s rights and
socialist struggle in Islam-ridden
societies.
‘Against the USA’s and
NATO’s terrorism, against
Islamic terrorism, for freedom
and equality’ - this is the slogan
of civilised humanity against
all camps of international terror.
On September 11, join this
movement.
