WWI in the eyes of the tribal oil sheikhs



More than a decade ago I translated a book called Peace Makers-The Paris Conference of 1919 and its Attempt to End War-Margaret MacMillan. The book is about peacemakers; leaders, politicians, and other statesmen from US, and the western countries who worked tirelessly to prevent their nations and the world another war.

The horror story of WWI   that few people in the western world understand today, and far fewer are heard among the ones in the Muslim and the Arab world , who are more interested in the book of  Quran, Muhammad , King Abdual, and Sisi than the horror of the wars, and terror, and destruction of WWI.

 In those four years of WWI, 1,800,000 Germans, 1,700,000, Russians, 1,384,000 French, 1,290,000 from Austria-Hungary, 743,000 British (and another 192,000 from the empire  were perished –Of course this information I have gathered from the this book, the peace makers.

There are more reliable information and records in the west than in the east, such as China, Russia, or in the Arab, and the Islamic world.  Al-jazeera network usually refers to as  (our history- their Archives).

 We don’t have archives in the Arab and Muslim world. They are all destroyed . Every fascist Arab or Muslim as soon as he tights his grip on power, he destroys everything the previous leader initiated or  built , and destroys all of his records.

For example ; Kuwaiti people are more aware of Emir Jaber than Abduallah al-Salem. Abduallah al-Salem had turned  a tribal nation into one of the highest per capital income in the world, built schools, governments, institutions , sports..etc.

On the other hand when  Emir Jaber took the leadership he  transferred all Abudallah al-Salem schools, and academic institutions  either into jails, to the hands of the  Sunni- Salafi (mostly run by Saudis, or Egyptians, or both),  One of the Senior politician in Kuwait said; “while we were burying Abduallah Al-Salem into his grave,  all his pictures were being removed from the streets, and governmental and non-governmental offices.

 The destruction of the historical documents and also ancient  buildings were so immense that  made few influential Kuwait to fear the worse. They have started  to protect few rocks, or falling homes (Saddum Hussein , the dictator was blamed for all the destruction of the many ancient  buildings), but Kuwaiti people know that the Sunni religious extremists were behind the destruction , and not the dictator Saddum Hussein, at least the dictator appreciated arts) .What  the Sunni extremists, and the late Emir Jaber have done  to the B’daa (innovations) of Abudallah Salem are unforgivable .

The history of Shah of Iran is another example of how we as Arabs, and Muslims do not give a shit of the past.

  History of the Riza Shah of Iran cannot be found in the Libraries of Ayatollahs because they were destroyed, and nothing could be found today in Ayatollahs libraries except  lies, and deceptions.
For an Iranian scholar to understand his own history of 2500 years, he had to go to the western countries, and learn their language in order to read and understand his own history. Ayatollahs burned everything that didn't serve the Ayatollahs interests, and they did rewrite the history through eyes of the Ayatollahs, understanding Iran’s history through the eyes of the Ayatollahs are not trustworthy
.   

 When I translated this book I was trying to present  the Arab and the Muslim world a history not through a narration of the Arab historians , but through more reliable western thinkers and archives.
( the 22 Arab countries  publish almost  450 books a year, Israel  publishes 7000 books each year) .
  
I was glad when I finished the translation of the Peace Makers from English to Arabic , but for more than a decade I have tried to find someone to print it. I couldn't find any. (a man with my stature has only five followers, I doubt it even an ordinary researcher  can read this article), how about the book!-
  
  Al-Jazeera nowadays are presenting WWI story in English, BBC  Arabic channel is also presenting a story of WWI. I am glad.

I was happy and  then I became disappointed when I found out that the  only thing that Al-jazeera is keen to show to the bastard Arab, and Muslim readers of the war only through the Arab , and Muslim fascist eyes (it calls them historians) –

I was so disappointed to hear about the violence, and terror of WWI through  unreliable , un-gauged,  the Arab eyes , stories such as ; “the secret agreement between British and French”, and “Zionists, “Colonial interests”- stories have been known to us,  , and each fascist Arab or Muslim dictator’s use them for his  own selfish interests .

I hope that the western wits in  Al-jazeera will correct the Arab wits working in Al-jazeera , and not vice-versa.
