If nothing is done, the OIC will end up as the joke of the century, with the Muslim world being the clown with a big nose and incapable of taking sides when Muslims are being killed invariably and brutally by the Nato.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) is in complete violation of the rules of engagement in wars and is total violation of the Geneva Convention, which it is trampling under its feet with a savage strategy in Afghanistan, observers told World Futures.Ali Khan, a professor at Washburn University School of Law in Kansas, is probably the first observer to call the Nato war against the Taliban in Afghanistan a ‘genocide’. In his essay, first published in JURIST, Ali Khan insists that Nato is guilty of Genocide in Afghanistan.

The story did not get any coverage in western media, indeed.Large-scale aerial bombing strikes as well as heavy land fighting performed by coalition troops in Afghanistan have only one goal – to fight the enemy to the fullest. Some airstrikes are performed without real intelligence data about concrete land area and even without co-ordination with the authorities in Kabul. Due to all this reasons the number of civilian casualties is rapidly growing.Nato is carrying out a cleaning up operation that involves the mass killing of people who supports the Taliban, the Taliban fighters when they are not armed or are away from the battle field for some reason and innocent civilians who happens to be in between the fighters.

The U.S. started the war on terror using the death of some 2500 people in the ill fated World Trade Centre (WTC). Arguing that civilians died in the crashing of the towers and of the planes, the U.S. war cabinet launched a war on terrorism to avenge these deaths. No one is there for the Afghans to wage any sorts of war against the Nato to avenge the death of civilians.Instead, the world is now witnessing the rise of violence in a struggle by the Taliban and other insurgency groups in the country – definitely the Taliban is not alone against the Americans and the Nato – with the constant bombings of public places.

These attacks are targeted at pro-American and pro-Kabul officials and are a sign that the Taliban want public disengagement in the ‘democratic’ and ‘reconstruction’ process engaged by Nato.“But rarely is the crime of genocide invoked when Western militaries murder Muslim groups” wrote Ali Khan. He added that the crime of genocide applies to the intentional killings that Nato troops commit on a weekly basis in the poor villages and mute mountains of Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban, a puritanical Islamic group. Nato combat troops, he argues, bombard and kill people in Taliban enclaves and meeting places.

They also murder defenseless Afghan civilians. The dehumanized label of "Taliban" is used to cloak the nameless victims of NATO operations. Some political opposition to this practice is building in NATO countries, such as Canada, where calls are heard to withdraw troops from Afghanistan or divert them to non-combat tasks, says Khan.He added that the Nato website lists its killings in Afghanistan.

These killings are also reported in the world media, often with a shameless tone of gratitude as if NATO forces are engaged in wiping out cannibals. In 2007 alone, NATO helicopters and precision guided munitions bombed and killed over six thousand "Taliban."According with the secret understanding among coalition troops these facts of growing civilian casualties are not open for public mind. The secret code among the Nato troops, composed of non-Muslim forces in a Muslim country, violates all the conventions regarding wars and conflicts.

The Nato is as a matter of fact conducting a warfare that equals to barbarianism and includes the beheading of bodies of people suspected to be part of the large group of resistant’s that belong to the Osama Bin Laden armed factions. Nato forces carried out the beheading of some people whom they thought were close to Osama and these heads were even sent to Washington for examination.

They were to be exposed in the White House, one source said.The Nato has set double standard rules for Afghan citizens, fixed in several intergovernmental agreements between the Irish Revolutionary Army (IRA) and the US and some Nato countries. For example, Afghan citizens cannot stand for international crime trials.There were video evidence spread on the Internet and taken by coalition troops during these ground raids in Afghanistan, where they do search and kill the unwanted individuals.

All these videos are supported with cynical and really brutal comments that are clearly unacceptable in a civilized world.There is absolute necessity for the international Islamic community to consolidate and put more pressure on the US and NATO countries to make them acknowledge the human rights’ violation facts in Afghanistan. There is also the need to break down those aggressive bombing strikes; to institute criminal proceedings against those responsible for them and to pay the indemnity for all moral and financial loses.But most importantly there is the need for the Muslim world to decide on path to follow regarding Afghanistan.

The Muslim world, with the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Arab League (AL) has simply abandoned Afghanistan into the hands of a horde of hooligans and crusaders who are killing Muslim civilians – casualties of a barbaric war – headed by the Washington.The 11^th Summit of the OIC should send a strong statement to the Americans and the Nato countries. The message should be about the reaction that the OIC nations will have if these massacres continue.

The OIC should withdraw itself from the ‘coalition’ of anti-terror nations in order to press the Nato and the US to take responsibility for the ‘genocide’ carried out by the west in Afghanistan.If nothing is done, the OIC will end up as the joke of the century, with the Muslim world being the clown with a big nose and incapable of taking sides when Muslims are being killed invariably and brutally by the Nato.

This will then go down into the households of the victims as a total failure of the Muslim political leadership, a leadership that has already slipped away from the elected or existing leaders and is now in the hands of the so called ‘terror’ organizations.These organizations will then gain upper hands on the populace in countries like Afghanistan and this will mean more violence and a less safe world for all of us. Not because the ‘terror’ groups are ‘terrorists’ but because they would grow the envy of punishing all those who remained silent while the west massacred their people!

If the Muslim world cannot take steps by itself, it should then rely on the leadership of other nations, nations that are against the war on terror and that are powerful enough to ally themselves with the Muslims. These nations are certainly not western since most of the west is in favor of the massive killing of Muslims only to deny it is a form of ‘genocide’.
