Abu Dhabi's crown prince has setup a "non-Muslim only" mercenary army with the help of the founder of Blackwater, Eric Prince, a private mercenary company which supplies large contingent of private security force in Iraq and Afghanistan. A detailed report presented by Free Speech TV gave a full account of this army which is primarily made of former military personals from South Africa, Western European countries, Americas and elsewhere. The army trains at secret camps in the Abu Dhabi deserts and is completely separated out from the country's regular army. The army will be used against Emiratis in case of popular rebellion.

Why a puritanical "non-Muslims" army for an emirate which espouses Islamic ideology?

Before that let us see who is Eric Prince other than what is known as the founder of Blackwater. Eric Prince is a former elite US marine commando and an extremist right wing Christian activist, aka., the kinds of Pat Robertson. A staunchly right wing Christian who also believed to espouse ideas of Christianizing the world through armed conflicts. The same idea also generates support to brutal emirates in the middle-east. He founded Blackwater years before Iraq war mainly on the support of wealthy right-wing corporate barons. To know him more look out for a documentary on Blackwater. The documentary should be openly available on YouTube.

The entire police force of Bahrain (if not most of Kuwaiti police as well) is made of foreigners. The YouTube videos from Bahrain are the witness how someone who have no love to your fellow countrymen would treat the citizens if given political power.

Gaddafi uses recruits from sub-Saharan Africa, mainly from Chad and mercenaries from eastern European countries to kill his own people.

Why is that so important to know this? It is the time for the people who oppose democratic form of governments in choice of emirate kind of rule to understand the logic of human in power. One should understand whoever comes to power as emir is a human-being and susceptible to all human weaknesses. No emir is fool proof. By denying people's right to say “ye or nay” to select leaders, the extreme ideologists play/played/playing right into the hands of the power seekers.

Those with extreme religious views, who often also mix Arab nationalism with religion, backed Anwar Sadat, What he did in return? Backed Saud's family, what is going on? Backed Gaddafi, look what he did? Backed the emirate of Ottoman Caliphs, look what they did? What did the later generations of Abbasids make other than building harems and the bath houses (aka. massage clubs)? Look at what is going on in Iran; look at those Hashemite - who claim themselves as direct descendents of prophets and are often backed by the people with same set of religious views? Today's Hashemite are one of rotten rulers on this earth.

The only alternative these people offer as an opportunity to remove the leadership is through bloodshed. Isn’t that what we witness? Provide a case where corrupt leaderships in these countries removed/replaced peacefully - except wherever hereditary right to power is accepted.

During the time of the First World War, Ottoman empires' total GDP was only $25billion compared to its ally axis-power, the third-Reich government in Germany who had an economy of around $300 billion. The Ottoman government deprived people from development. Today the entire middle-eastern countries, many came to the power using the religious emirate concept, produced only one in ten-thousand as PhDs where as India - single country with more than the population in the entire middle-east produces ten times more PhDs. Hardly a handful of scientific books been published from this middle-east in the past two centuries. If one part of middle-east lavishes themselves in the petrol dollars, the other side people eat grass. What is going wrong?

Once was a humble prayer leader, Hashami Rafsanjani, become a multi-millionaire with a pistachio export business worth over $300 million dollar when he was leaving the office as Iranian President. How was he able to make that much money which he didn't had before he assumed office?

The goat herders now multi-billionaires – the price for instigating the Arabs against the Turkish rules using Islamists in the backdrop? Who are they? King Faisals and the Hashemite? Isn’t King Abdullah of Jordan whose passing of military plans to Israel lead to the defeat of Arab military alliance? How they all came to power in first place? Didn’t they use ideology of emirates?

What drove Mustafa Ataturk, a pious man, who gave a strictly religious burial to his own mother while he was the commanding the Turkish military leadership to turn against the religious establishment of the country? You can still find old photos of Ataturk praying.

Gaddafi - on one side he was talking about Islam and on the other side he was imprisoning whoever found to have grown beard and attending fajr prayers. People attending more than one congregational prayer in a day are closely watched.

What is the lesson that history teaches to the people with conscience? Unless the religious establishments openly back democratic process of electing a leader, the trouble would continue to taunt the mass. Democracy is the natural process of people saying whom they trust as a leader without which the only other option left out is removing the leader by force.

Ballot box is the only medium for bloodless coup on any corrupt regime. Just think if at all Saudi or UAE had democracy. Wouldn't people have had choices? Wouldn't people have had an opportunity to give their score on the performance of their incumbent leader and an opportunity to elect someone better? Mainly the wahhabi islamists make very bad choice by opposing democracy!!! People should have a say whether they back sharia rule or not. Imposing sharia rule may be Almighty's will, but selective few attempting to play the role of Almighty, simply because they know the religious law better is wrong.

Who should administer - who should lead the government - the decision should be left to the people. Jamat leadership should provide only guidance and should stay away from cornering people into voting for someone selected by the jamat leadership. People should be allowed to grow maturity into political process and allowed to think the repercussions of electing a wrong leader. Denying people from responsibility will only have wrong effects. It will lead people to rely on a handful few to provide direction. Once it becomes a handful few to decide the political future of the mass, the power concentrates around the handful. As it is known - power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, lack of democracy will lead to tyranny. The few becomes the elites or the creamy layer in that society. People should be made responsible for their mistakes in electing a good leader. People should be educated about electoral process and political system.

If people wants change, so be it. If people wants secular rule, so be it; if people wants religious rule, so be it; but let the people have the say. At the end, accept what people wants as a majority.

If you want peaceful means to transition power, then there is no other tool - a tool - available other than democracy. Supporting democracy is not against the religion. Let the religion drive your value system. Let those want to live religious life live by the ideals of religion. Let them be exemplary. Let your religious believes drive your principles; Let the principles drive your values; Let the common value system drive the law of the land; let those laws govern the nation; thus still achieve what some wanted to achieve through brute-force method – simply an unislamic practice enforced in countries like Saudi Arabia.

Nobody should be elected just because of their fame, their wealth, or their political power. All it requires is the will to serve. The elected officials are nothing but servants. They are there to serve the people with a promise they made to get elected. They have to live by that promise. If they think they’re above the people, then they have no rights to hold the political office, because, in democracy, the leadership is people’s property.

Let consciousness prevail and stupidities die.
