Since the November 13 multiple attacks in Paris, there has been growing support for going to war in Middle East to fight ISIS. About 72 hours after the Bataclan and other coordinated attacks in France that fateful Friday night in November 2015, the French armed forces shelled parts of regions controlled by ISIS in a retaliatory mood French president Francois Hollande said would be ‘merciless’. The week after the #prayforparis gained global solidarity, the world still witnessed other terror attacks in Africa and Middle East and the #prayforparis was trolled with narcissist commentaries on social media to remind people of the insincere roles French government also played in some so called anti-terror operations in Middle East and North Africa and how such operations have claimed lives of innocent citizens. Some even went further to ask why support France received in the wake of the #prayforparis did not happen in the Garrisa attack in Kenya earlier this year. Among the observed insincerity from Western powers in their global support for anti-terrorists operations is a comment made by a high ranking officer of the US army when he noted in an interview that Nigeria’s terror situation wasn’t a priority when asked about Boko Haram, an Islamic group with the highest number of terrorism related deaths globally. While politicians across the globe have been given reasons to fight terrorism by any “merciless” means, the over 1.6 billion Muslims are becoming more vulnerable to different kinds of attacks from non-Muslims because they are now suspected terrorists even when there are no evidence to support such claims in addition to leaving Syrian refugees more hopeless because of stricter immigration laws, ridicule even when helpless and opposition for resettlement from nationals of countries the refugees’ could have been resettled.

Jeremy Corbyn of the UK Labour in the last few months commented on the mistake the UK made by going to the Iraqi War in 2003 and how such mistake led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in a post 9/11 retaliatory attack against Al Qaeda operations globally. And Mr Corbyn’s comment made the like of former US president George Bush and UK counterpart, former prime minister Tony Blair affirm that the 2003 War was really a mistake and with Blair apologising later. As a result of the global call for support to fight terrorism after the November 13 attack, the United Nations unanimously voted in support for war against ISIS on the soil of Iraq and Syria and some question honest observers may ask is, how will the United Nations address the refugees’ crisis when countries who could have resettled them are implementing stricter migration measures? What plans does the UN have to resettle people from the countries where ISIS has foothold in the face of their support for war on the same land? How will the United Nation fight racism when such people are even settled in the face of growing hate for Muslims because it is believed that all known terror acts were carried to prove “Allah is great”?

The history of terrorism in Middle East and North Africa dates back to time when the Europeans and Americans implemented inhumane policies on the soils of some of the MENA countries to topple governments that were anti-Western and also pose threat to their supply of fossil fuel for energy generation. Among such terrorist operations can be linked to programmes implemented in the time of former US president Richard Nixon’s when OPEC threatened oil export embargo to America in the 70s. On the surface, the majority of people may see such embargo as an opportunity to develop alternative source of energy, but it would be very difficult for American politicians and business owners to take such news with levity. And in an era of cold war, such embargo has serious impact on the relevance of America as world power. With US consuming more than 26 percent of total world energy by 2008 and due mainly from fossil fuel, an oil export embargo to America is a serious threat to America’s global power-hold and that can be met with a “merciless” reaction. As a result, the MENA which is a rather religious and perhaps intolerant region was inflamed by terror cells planted by Western governments to act as in-country instrument to promote Western government policies within those MENA countries.

There are so many conspiracies surrounding terror cells, however, an honest observer of events post November 13 attacks in Paris present a lot of inconsistent stories that should be investigated by honest journalists. Some of the news reports look like the events were planned strategically by a group just to prove a point to go to war in Syria against ISIS. These concerned groups appear not to be Islamists but business owner and high profile government officials dealing in war munitions and who needs reasons to prove a wrong point that Muslims were terrorists. While Muslims have been grossly victimised because of killings related to terrorism however the real terrorists are the ones at the UN who voted in support of starting a war in Syria to stop what they created and could not control. The UN needs no point to go to war in Syria, rather, they should amass support for resettling displayed Syrians who are scampered across the globe and in very bad conditions. The UN will only fail its purpose if supporting going to war in another country just to fight common mistakes made in the past. What Ban Ki Moon and others can do to change the situation is to remember the gory tales that emanated post 2003 War in Iraq which claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent Iraqis and US and UK soldiers and which cannot be brought back by the simple and unapologetic “the war was a mistake".
